Chapter 114
The girl's mother frowned. "You're an adult. How can you be so mean to a child? Besides, is what my daughter said wrong?"
"What's wrong? If your dad, mom, and brother hit you all day and didn't allow you to go to college, and even robbed you of the money you earned by working, would you still be good to your mom? Idiot!" Kylah mocked.
When the neighbors heard this, their eyes widened. This... there was such a family in the world?
"My friends are sharp-tongued. Please forgive me." Lucy really didn't like others to know about his family affairs. Their sympathy would make her feel inferior. "But what she said is true. Can I deal with it myself now?"
She said it very calmly, but it was precisely because of this calmness that it made people feel even more sad.
The neighbors were kind enough to do bad things, so they were a little embarrassed. They didn't know whether to leave or stay.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then a tall and handsome man with a cold face appeared behind the neighbors.
His aura was too strong. His neighbors were embarrassed and scared, so they quickly made way for him.
Josh, who didn't dare to be arrogant in front of outsiders, didn't dare to make a sound. He lowered his
head and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.
Mrs. Si didn't dare to howl and stared blankly at her son-in-law, whom she had only seen on the news. For a moment, she forgot her plan.
Arthur walked over to Lucy step by step with steady steps. He took her hand and said, "Let's go home."
"Yes." Lucy's gloomy face softened a little and he turned to head home.
"Mr. Johnson, you can't be so nice to her!" Mrs. Morgan gathered up the courage to hug Arthur's thigh and stopped him from entering the house.
Arthur lowered his head and looked at the pair of hands that were hugging his leg. A storm was brewing on his handsome face, and his eyes were bone-chillingly cold.
Mrs. Morgan was so frightened that she quickly let go of him and took a few steps back. However, she wanted to throw away the opportunity to make a fortune again.
"Mr.... Mr. Johnson, listen to me, my... my daughter has not given any... penny to our family since she became Mrs. Johnson. She doesn't even care about her father's illness. Can you pity our family? Can you... give me... five million dollars for the operation?" All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The neighbors' eyes widened as they listened.
How... how could this person be so shameless?
The one million he had just said had now turned into five million?!
"Five million?" Arthur said with a faint smile.
Mrs. Morgan thought that he was going to agree, so she nodded repeatedly and said without stammering, "Lucy's father is seriously ill and in urgent need of five million dollars for surgery, but this little ungrateful little guy doesn't care about her father's life at all! Have you made up your mind? Give him cash or check, or transfer money?"
If she had known that Mr. Johnson would be so straightforward, she would have asked for more!
"I'm not going to make up my mind." Arthur's face was cold as he spoke in a serious tone.
Mrs. Morgan's brows twisted into an S-shaped frown. She had already decided on her own money. Could it be that she could let someone else make the decision?
Hearing this, Kylah was also shocked. "Is there anything that Mr. Johnson can't solve?"
"Dear, do you want to borrow it?" Arthur turned to look at Lucy. His cold and hard facial features were a little soft.
Kylah's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Was this really Mr. Johnson? Had he not lost his purse?
"I don't want to borrow it." Lucy was also momentarily shocked, but soon after, a hint of sweetness rose from the bottom of his heart.
Usually, it was Kylah who was protecting her. Suddenly, there was a person she loved joining the protection team. She felt warm in her heart.
But Arthur had always hated trouble. Would he be unhappy if he knew that her family was like this?
She looked at Arthur as if she didn't care. When she saw the tenderness in his eyes, the worry in her heart disappeared.
Mrs. Morgan's old face turned from red to green, and then from green to white, like a colorful battle, gorgeous and beautiful.
Arthur no longer paid attention to the irrelevant people. He clasped Lucy's fingers and walked straight into the house. His back view was incomparably harmonious.
Mrs. Morgan still wanted to stop Arthur, but when she thought of his terrifying gaze just now, she didn't dare to move again. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that the door wasn't closed and whizzed in.
"Hey, hey, hey, who told you to go in?" Kylah shouted at Su's mother and followed her in.
Josh looked at the open door and thought about the ending of those people at the wedding. He hesitated for a while and finally squatted at the door.
Just now, he had been hiding behind Mrs. Morgan, and now everyone saw him.
A neighbor looked at him for a long time, then took out his mobile phone and looked at him. Suddenly, he said, "Are you only 12 years old?"
In addition to being a bully, Josh also liked to be a bully on the Internet, but he was timid in reality.
When he was suddenly asked by someone else, he was stunned and then nodded in fear.
"You kids are really amazing. You dare to give 500,000 dollars to the female anchor at the age of 12 and even book a room with the female anchor! Didn't your mother say that she didn't even have 10,000 dollars for the operation? Where did you get 500,000 dollars?" the neighbor questioned.
The other neighbors also came over—
"It turns out that he is the child of the female streamer!"
"I heard that he went to the wedding of the female anchor."
"The whole family is nothing!"
Usually, Josh cared about his reputation the most. Now that he was scolded by so many people and his mother was not around, he was so scared that he wet his pants.
...
Inside the room.
Mrs. Morgan only cared about money and even forgot her son. "Mr. Johnson, Lucy is so hard-hearted. You can't be like her!"
After all, she was Mr. Johnson's mother-in-law. She was qualified to tell him how to behave!
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Arthur was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. It was as if he was sitting on a throne.
His gaze was like a knife as it stared at Mrs. Morgan, causing her entire body to tremble. "No... no."
Just now, the courage that had wanted to teach him how to 'be a man' had long vanished!
When Lucy saw this scene, he felt both anger and amusement.
Her mother was usually such a sharp-tongued person. Her lips could turn black and white upside down. But in front of Nan Guozhe, she didn't even know how to defend herself!
Was it because she was so kind to her mother that her mother dared to be unscrupulous?
"The Ran family doesn't welcome you. Get out of here right now!" After being harassed by Su's mother for so many years, Kylah felt disgusted as if she had seen a fly.
"How can you, little b*tch, say that? This is my daughter's home, not yours. What right do you have to let me go?" Mrs. Morgan scolded with her hands on her hips, full of confidence.
Lucy walked up to Mrs. Morgan and said with a calm expression, "Then I'll ask you to leave."
If it weren't for this blood relationship, she would have sent her mother to prison. The reason was... domestic violence, extortion, robbery, and intentional injury!
"You little..." Before Mrs. Lucy finish her sentence, an oppressive gaze fell on her.
Mrs. Morgan swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to say anything else.
"I'm thirsty." Arthur put his arm casually on the sofa and suddenly said.
Lucy tossed aside the random thoughts in his mind. "I'll get you some water."
"Sit down." Arthur grabbed her by the arm and pulled her onto his lap. He wrapped an arm around her waist to prevent her from moving.
