Perla was drenched from head to toe in leftover steak, her delicate features twisted in rage. Furious, she lunged at Arielle.
Arielle stepped aside easily and dusted off her hands. "Perfect. Go to the hospital, have the doctor check if I passed you any viruses."
Off to the side, Meredith and Mya finally snapped out of their daze.
They rushed to stop Perla, who looked absolutely pathetic. There were so many people watching.
And they were supposed to be elite girls from the upper circle—they couldn't act like a bunch of lunatics.
Good manners stopped Perla from screaming. Her trembling hand pointed at Arielle. "You… you… I'm calling the cops!"
Arielle stood up, tucked her hair behind her ear, and smiled. "Great. Let's have the officers take a look at how one helpless girl fought off three bullies—and actually won."
With that, Arielle pointed toward the restaurant's 360-degree surveillance cameras.
Meredith's heart sank. She had completely forgotten about the cameras.
Meredith thought, 'Just now, Perla and Mya said some awful things… If this goes out, there's no way we'll come out on top.
'People online may even turn Arielle into a symbol of standing up to bullies—while we'll be painted as the bullies.'
Mya lost it too. She grabbed her purse and raised it, ready to throw it at Arielle.
But Meredith reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. "Mya, calm down. You're Miss Evans."
That one sentence brought Mya back to her senses. She thought, 'Right, I'm the daughter of the Evans family.
'How can I ruin my elegant image of some crazy woman?
'But I also can't just stand there and let that bitch humiliate and provoke me. Moreover, Perla even got hit…'
Covered in oily food, Perla was in a terrible mood. She looked like a mess, and now Arielle had completely humiliated her. How could she swallow this?
Perla didn't care about her image anymore. She grabbed a glass from the table and charged at Arielle, ready to smash it.
But Arielle had been watching her closely. The second she raised her hand, Arielle crouched down and dodged.
The glass flew past Arielle and smashed into a table behind her.
"Oh my God!"
"That hurts!!"
More screaming. The woman it hit had blood pouring from her head.
Instantly, Perla froze, Meredith froze, and Mya froze.
Arielle glanced at the bleeding woman with sympathy, then turned her gaze back to Perla, who still looked completely stunned.
Then Arielle stood up and walked right past the three of them.
The three were seething with rage, but there was nothing they could do to her.
Right now, they didn't have time to go after Arielle—they had to rush the innocent woman to the hospital.
The three of them looked like they were on the verge of tears.
After leaving the steakhouse, Arielle pulled out her phone. She looked at the video she'd recorded and smiled slightly.
Arielle thought, 'The more naive I used to be, the more calculating I am now.
'No matter what happens, having solid evidence is everything.'
Arielle used a burner phone to dial a number.
It was someone she'd worked with in her old life—Kaison, a well-known tabloid photographer and whistleblower in the entertainment industry.
Whenever Kaison released something, it was almost always real.
That's why celebrities didn't like him—while they tried to avoid him, they also didn't dare mess with him.
Arielle said, "Did you see the video? I want the Sidel and Evans families to be the top three trending spots today. I'll give you 300 thousand dollars.
"You'll get 70 hundred dollars up front in ten minutes. I'll pay the rest when it's done."
Kaison agreed without hesitation. "Got it. No problem."
Kaison didn't even ask who she was. In his line of work, he'd seen everything.
Plenty of B-list celebs hired people to stage fake scandals for clout.
Some even took videos themselves and paid people like him to spread them and get them trending.
The staged drama was nothing new. As long as it wasn't illegal and the client paid well, Kaison was game.
Kaison figured this must be another actress trying to stir up some drama.
Kaison worked fast. In less than two hours, a secretly recorded video hit the internet.
Within thirty minutes, it shot to the top of Twitter's trending list.
In the video, a rich girl pointed at another girl and cursed her out. Called her a village girl, said poor people didn't deserve to eat steak…
She also said Ogilvy Steakhouse was only for high-end clients… even claimed poor people polluted the environment and carried more viruses…
The video had been edited to include all the key moments in one complete clip.
Even though the faces were blurred, there was no hiding from the power of the internet.
The nasty words hit a nerve with viewers everywhere.
In Haskium, most people weren't rich. Naturally, they all saw themselves as the ones being insulted.
It didn't take long for online sleuths to figure out who the girls in the video were.
[Ogilvy Steakhousehouse? Isn't that owned by the Sidel Group? Damn, this is eye-opening. I didn't realize Ogilvy Steakhouse steak was only for rich people.]
[Poor people shouldn't eat steak? Poor people have viruses? Why don't they go live on the moon then, since Earth's too dirty for them!]
[I like that steakhouse too. Guess as a regular person I'm not qualified to eat there anymore. Better watch out or I'll get sued for carrying some 'virus.']
[That place is under the Evans Group. Ogilvy Steakhouse is part of Sidel Group. The ones yelling in the video are Perla and Mya. Don't ask how I know.]
[What a joke. Think selling a few steaks makes you some high-society elite? If no one shops at your store, you're nothing.]
[Seriously unbelievable. A rich girl talks like that and still thinks she's above the rest of us? I've got more classes than her and I'm broke.]
[Not going to Ogilvy Steakhouse anymore. Same with the Evans Group properties. Was about to buy one too. Glad I saw this video. How could a poor person like me be worthy of eating Ogilvy Steakhouse steak or living in Evans property?]
[The people in that video—wow. Straight up villain behavior. This is how rich girls are raised?]
[Hey, it's their restaurant. Their rules, right? We peasants don't get a say.]
[She's still so young and already has that mindset? That's just sad.]
[Boycott Ogilvy Steakhouse. Boycott the Evans Group. We all have a part to play.]
[If anyone's still eating at Ogilvy Steakhouse after this, they're part of the problem.]
In just an hour, the video climbed to number one on Twitter.
The internet exploded, calling for a boycott of Ogilvy Steakhouse and the Evans Group.
Out of Twitter's top ten trending topics, five were about Ogilvy Steakhouse and the Evans Group:
SidelHeiressSaysPoorPeopleShouldn'tEatSteak
MyaEvansTellsGirlToGetOutOfRestaurant
On Twitter, similar hashtags were trending nonstop. The buzz lasted all day without slowing down.
With constant reposts, shares, and media coverage, more and more people found out about the incident.
The rich were the minority—most people saw themselves as the poor being insulted.
Even if a few tried to defend the Sidels and Evanses, their voices were drowned out in the wave of public outrage.
