Luke let out a sound, but suddenly found himself in darkness. Diana picked up the nearby trash can and slammed it hard on Luke's head. She followed up with a kick to his stomach that sent him flying into the wall!
"Ah!!" Luke screamed in pain, but before he could catch his breath, a flurry of punches rained down on him like a storm.
"You followed me! You creep! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Diana's attacks were swift and merciless, leaving Luke no chance to defend himself.
Maddie, who had been hiding nearby and planning to take a photo of Diana and Luke's intimacy, was stunned when she witnessed the scene.
Regaining her senses, Maddie quickly put away her phone and rushed over to stop Diana: "Diana, stop it! It's Luke!"
Diana frowned. They had come out so quickly, and she hadn't even had a chance to enjoy herself! Before Maddie could reach out to grab her, Diana exerted more force and kicked Luke in the stomach with her final blow.
"Ugh!!!" Luke curled up on the ground, holding his stomach in pain.
"What's going on?!" The commotion in the private room attracted the attention of the other guests who quickly rushed out to see what was happening. They were greeted by the sight of Luke, struggling to breathe with a garbage bin on his head, and next to him stood Diana, looking bewildered, and Maddie, who was clearly terrified.
"Maddie, help me get this garbage bin off his head!" exclaimed Diana. With much effort, Maddie managed to remove the bin from Luke's head, revealing his face, which was covered in garbage. But as soon as the garbage was cleared from his face, Luke fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and vomiting uncontrollably.
Brandon and Noah, who had been about to help Luke, recoiled in disgust, wrinkling their noses at the sight and smell. Maddie also took a step back, shocked and infuriated by what had just happened.
"Diana, what were you thinking? How could you hit someone like that?" Maddie demanded, her voice trembling with anger and disbelief.
The others turned to face Diana, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. They couldn't believe that she was the one who had attacked Luke.
Lily seized the opportunity to speak and immediately exclaimed in anger, "Diana, everyone in the university knows about your reputation for being willful and reckless, but I never imagined you could stoop so low! This is just too much!"
Luke leaned against the wall and slowly got up. As soon as he stood steady, he felt a rush of heat in his nose.
Ava covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed, "Luke, you're bleeding from your nose!" Luke was taken aback, then immediately reached up to wipe it away. He saw the bright red color in his palm and his eyes filled with anger.
Luke was quite the popular figure in university - he was the captain of the university's performing arts club and the lead singer of the band. He was admired by countless girls, and always seemed to exude confidence. However, at this moment, he had never been more embarrassed in his 20 years of life. And the culprit behind it all was... Luke turned to Diana, whose once handsome face now twisted into an extremely ugly expression.
"Diana, are you crazy or something?" He widened his eyes and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. "I know now, it's because I don't like you, and since you can't have me, you want to take revenge on me?! Why are you so twisted?!"
What? Diana's eye twitched. She didn't even start the fight, why did her mind suddenly go haywire? Which eye did he use to see that she was jealous of him?
"You sure have a wild imagination!" Diana crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Take a look at yourself, you're bleeding from both nostrils, and you think I'm taking revenge on you because I'm secretly in love with you? You've got some nerve!"
As soon as Diana finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on Luke. He looked completely disheveled with a trash bin tissue hanging off his head and two comical nosebleeds dripping down his nostrils. He looked nothing like a campus heartthrob. If it were someone else in his place, they would have burst out laughing.
Luke's voice trembled with anger, "What do you mean by that?!"
"It's all your fault," Diana said innocently, opening her beautiful eyes wide, "When I came out, I felt like someone was following me, so I stayed in the bathroom a little longer. I didn't expect you to suddenly pop up. I thought you were a stalker!"
Stalker?! Luke was furious. How could she call him a stalker? Even though the hallway was dimly lit, he was not blind. He knew it was him that she saw. His chest felt tight, and he almost coughed up blood.
Noah tried to ease the tension. "If it's a misunderstanding, let's just clear it up."
Lily protested, "How can you just brush this off as a misunderstanding? Diana, you have to take responsibility!"
Diana looked helpless. "Fine, I'll pay for your medical expenses. I didn't expect to hit you so hard, Luke. I'm just a delicate little girl, you know."
Her words implied that Luke couldn't take a punch. As they turned to look at Diana, it was true that she gave off a girly impression, but she didn't seem strong enough to cause such a reaction from Luke. His reaction seemed a bit exaggerated.
Luke was infuriated by the slightly thoughtful looks of a few people. So he was beaten up because of his weak body? It was unbelievable that Diana could shamelessly claim to be a frail girl and boast that the beating just now could have killed a cow!
Maddie stood aside, looking at Luke's miserable appearance, her eyes showing a hint of peculiarity. If she hadn't witnessed Diana's skills this morning, she might have thought that Luke was exaggerating. But now she was certain that Diana did it on purpose! Why would she do that? What was Diana trying to achieve...
Maddie was lost in thought when Luke suddenly threw the tissue in his hand and exclaimed, "I've had enough! Diana, you're crazy! I'm going back!" With that, he leaned against the wall and began to head downstairs.
Ava rolled her eyes and said, "Diana, you're a jinx. You shouldn't have come here in the first place!"
Diana gave her a cold glance and replied, "I was dragged here. Do you think I wanted to come?"
Upon hearing this, Maddie looked displeased and appeared to be aggrieved. "Please don't argue, everyone. Diana, I just wanted you to make more friends. I didn't think you would react this way..."
Ava immediately interrupted Maddie and said, "It's not your fault, Diana is just a hopeless case!"
Lily also spoke up in anger, "That's right. You had good intentions, but she treated you like dirt. She's a real wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Diana stood on the side, watching the three of them sing in perfect harmony, feeling the urge to yawn. They continued to act, but the play was as boring as ever.
Maddie sighed and said, "Enough, I'll go call Luke back."
She ran after Luke, and Brandon watched her leave before saying, "Maddie is so kind and enthusiastic. Diana, you haven't learned even half of her qualities!"
Diana looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Is that so? Well, I guess I'm lucky then! I didn't expect Maddie to be so great in your eyes. Do you have a crush on her?"
Ava immediately looked up at these words, watching Brandon warily. Brandon is someone she knows very well. If Maddie wasn't her friend, he might have had a chance with her. But then she snapped out of it and said, "Diana, what are you talking about? Maddie is my best friend. She would never have anything to do with my boyfriend!"
Diana replied casually, "I was just joking. Why are you so nervous?"
At the same time, she found it funny. Best friends? After this, she would have to see how strong their friendship really was.
Meanwhile, Maddie had convinced Luke to come back. She couldn't let him leave without finding out what Diana really thought of him. The atmosphere was awkward. Suddenly, Brandon spoke up, "This dinner doesn't seem to be bringing us much joy. Let's go somewhere else. I'll treat you guys to a good time."
Ava asked, "Where shall we go?"
With a mysterious smile, Brandon pulled out a shiny golden card that exuded a dazzling light, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary card. He then turned it around to reveal a dark blue enchantress pattern on the back of the card.
Lily immediately recognized it and exclaimed, "Isn't that the card for 'Diohn Club'!?"
Everyone was surprised to hear this. "Diohn Club" is a highly exclusive and unique VIP club located in Cloud City. Unlike typical entertainment venues, it only accepts special guests who can enter by invitation card. These cards are sporadically issued by the enigmatic owner of "Diohn Club" and are auctioned off in limited quantities. Even celebrities find it difficult to gain entry.
The identity of the owner of "Diohn Club" remains a mystery, and few people know who they are. However, it is widely known that they are a powerful and dangerous individual. A wealthy young man once tried to enter the club without an invitation card but was thrown out with both arms and legs broken. Despite his family's social status, they did not dare to make a fuss and silently accepted the consequences. This incident only added to the club's reputation for being mysterious and dangerous, yet still alluring enough for people to want to explore it.
Surprisingly, Brandon has an invitation card to "Diohn Club"! Brandon's vanity was shattered in an instant as he felt the admiring glances of the crowd. He had secretly taken the invitation card from his father's study, as he had heard that it would grant him entry into the exclusive Diohn Club, and he wanted to show off in front of everyone.
As the excitement grew, Diana stood quietly to the side, lost in thought. Ava smirked at Diana and said, "Well, we're off to the Diohn Club now. You don't belong there, so why don't you just go home?"
Diana laughed and retorted, "What's so special about a simple invitation card? Why are you so proud of it?"
"You don't understand anything! This invitation card is extremely rare, and you have no idea how difficult it is to get one!" Ava snapped in anger.
Brandon was also annoyed. Diana was such a fool, she should just shut up if she didn't understand! Diana glanced at him and said, "Those who truly have ability don't boast in front of others like you guys, acting like a country bumpkin!"
"Country bumpkin?!" Brandon was completely provoked. He was so angry that he laughed, "Diana, okay, I'll take you to see the world and show you who the real country bumpkin is!" He waved his hand, "Let's go!"
Maddie approached her and said insincerely, "Diana, why are you so angry today? Even if you don't understand, you can't just say anything. If you keep this up, I can't guarantee your safety."
Diana almost laughed. Did she really need Maddie's protection?! She wouldn't let anyone trip her up, even if it meant accumulating good karma!
"Also, what about Luke? After all, you beat him up pretty badly," Maddie asked anxiously.
