Everyone stood stunned as, who Juliet assumed to be Xiang Long, pulled at Fan Long's hair. She kicked and hit the other girl who fought back with surprising ferocity, clawing and biting at any exposed skin. Juliet was the first to react, she immediately ran over to the pair and attempted to separate them.

She knew that the more damage the Villainess inflicted on the Female Lead the worse the situation would get.

Juliet tried to pull Xiang Long off of Fan Long, only to have Xiang Long shove her away with so much force that she lost her balance and fell backward. Right into the Fine China Plater that the Cake balanced on.

Oh no.

The cake wabbled but didn't drop. Juliet let out a breath and then the 5 tier, buttercream Birthday Cake fell on top of her.

Xiang Long and Fan Long had finally stopped fighting to stare, along with everyone else in the room, at her. Lying on the floor of the Long Manor, with chunks of chocolate cake and frosting smeared over her hair and dress and pieces of the dessert laid around her.

'Good Job Host! You managed to distract everyone from the fight!'

'Fuck! No! This DRESS WAS SO EXPENSIVE! I'm not gonna be able to pay rent for like the next 3 months!' (╥﹏╥)

Her unfortunate situation seemed to snap everyone out of their dazed shock. Immediately 2 large men grabbed each of the girls and pulled them apart.

"Get your hands off of me!" Xiang Long yelled and the man holding her stiffened before loosening his grip on her. She straightened and looked over at Fan Long crying into the arms of her mother.

"Xiang Long! How dare you attack your sister!" Mr. Long roared. The Villainess shrank back when faced with her father's anger, but she stubbornly pointed an accusing finger at Fan Long.

"She started it!"

"How!?!" Her father's voice raised to n even more dangerous level.

"Well...she, she.." Xiang Long seemed less sure of her ability to stand against the experienced cold-hearted businessman that was Mr.Long. He was showing a side of himself that she had never seen and she was completely unprepared for the complete lack of empathy in her Father's eyes. Tears welled up in her own, as she yelled,

"She took you from me! It's her fault! It's all her fault! That's why-"

"That's enough Xiang Long!" Mr. Long finally snapped,

"You have brought great shame upon this family and I no longer want to hear your poisonous words!"

"But, but, bu-"

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!"

Xiang Long ran for the door.

Juliet staggered to her feet and set her sights on the Villianess's retreating figure. A hand closed around her wrist and she looked behind her to see Jin Lian. She furrowed her brows questioningly, and his eyes fell onto their touching hands. He let go but before she could turn back he shoved a handkerchief toward her.

"oh thank you" Juliet realized that she was still covered in buttercream frosted dessert. She wiped chocolate off her face, unconsciously she licked at the frosting covering her lips.

"Mind if I keep this?"

He opened his mouth, but Juliet didn't give him a chance to respond,

"Thank you again!"

She gave him her best smile, before running after the Villainess.

She never noticed the tips of Jin Lian's ears had turned bright red as he watched her fleeing figure.
