There are always people who love to watch the drama, and it’s the same in the town, soon a crowd gathered. "Wow! This woman hits really hard! She made the face of the KFC owner’s wife all red." "Are outsiders so arrogant these days?" "Uneducated, uncivilized! Which wealthy outsiders would come to Corhaven Town? They generally come from very poor places where girls aren’t treated as humans, haven’t been to school, only learned how to act like shrews. What’s the saying? ’Poor mountains, bad waters, breed troublesome people.’" The last words were spoken by a girl, roughly 23 years old, who lives next door to Ivy Linden’s rented place, considered wealthy in town. Her family’s small villa is three-story, she was originally the flower of Corhaven Town, well-admired by the local young men, but after Ivy Linden came, those young men started paying attention to Ivy Linden. She felt a blockage in her heart, but such matters aren’t easy to talk about with anyone, after all, she is proud, and speaking out would make people laugh, making it seem like she desperately wants the boys of Corhaven Town to like her. What struck her the hardest was, Ivy Linden had been married, with a child this old, how could those young men be blind? Taking a fancy to a "middle-aged woman" with a child? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 "You all can’t talk about my mommy ." Nicole was very angry, her clear eyes misted over, pointing at the owner’s wife and the plump boy who came out, saying: "He bullied me first, along with my mommy." Then pointing at the KFC owner’s wife said: "She also said nasty things first, which angered my mommy. Why won’t you figure things out? Just spout words that hurt my mommy?" Nicole was very cute, the first two people who criticized Ivy Linden fell silent, couldn’t help but think: The little girl is not entirely wrong, the behavior of the KFC owner’s wife’s son in town is well-known. The woman suddenly cried: "My Kenny was just being playful, made a joke with you, and you hit him? Even pushed him to the ground, now his head has a big lump." "Kenny, come over, let mom show everyone the wound on your head." The chubby boy walked to the woman, tilted his head, and said: "Mom, it hurts a lot, be gentle." The woman gently pushed aside the boy’s hair, and people gathered around, stretching their necks to look, seeing the wound on the chubby boy’s head, everyone was surprised. "So serious? It’s all swollen with a lump." "What else do you two outsiders have to say?" "Ha... How sharp-tongued can a little girl be? Your mommy must have taught you how to do bad things?" The girl took the opportunity to ridicule Nicole. Nicole’s tears came out: "My mommy didn’t teach me bad things, you’re too mean, hostile to us. Mommy, Nicole doesn’t want to stay here anymore, Nicole wants to go back to Ravenswood, Nicole misses Aunt Ivana, misses Timmy and Ian, boo-hoo..." Surprise flickered in the eyes of the girl and town folks, Ravenswood is the most prosperous city, essentially a rich person’s area, college students from Corhaven Town take pride in buying a house and settling in Ravenswood. It’s said the property prices there are several thousand per square meter! The price of building a small villa in Corhaven Town, in Ravenswood, it can only be the down payment. The girl shook her head, unable to believe that Ivy Linden came from Ravenswood. "Pah! Coming from Ravenswood, and only spent ten bucks at my shop? Hit my son and me, can’t even afford the medical bills and emotional damage?" The woman said resentfully. "My mommy and I came from Ravenswood, we live in a villa." Nicole shouted in her childish voice. Ivy Linden, surrounded by everyone, unable to leave, felt a wave of bitterness hearing Nicole’s words, tears almost fell, having given so much for Samuel Lockwood, only to end up . Samuel Lockwood is ruthless, freezing all her account funds to push her. All under the pretense of falling victim to fraud, asking the bank to freeze her card. "Living in a villa?" The woman mocked: "If your family has so much money, pay me the medical bills and emotional damages. I won’t ask for much, just ten thousand bucks, ask your mommy to give it to me!" Looking at the pauper-like pair, not to mention ten thousand, even one thousand would be hard to fish out. The woman deliberately made Ivy Linden feel embarrassed. "Haha! This is killing me; your family lives in a villa in Ravenswood? Bragging without a draft paper, kid, you know Ravenswood’s villas cost a fortune? I bet you never went to kindergarten; you have no sense of money." The girl mocked: "I didn’t want to say, now it’s unbearable, I’ll be honest then! This mother and daughter live next to me, in the cheapest room, two hundred bucks a month, they’ve rented it for a year, and haggled fifty bucks with the landlord, how broke could they be? Haggling for yearly rent of over two thousand?" The girl’s gaze towards Ivy Linden and Nicole was full of disdain. The woman frowned, so broke? At first, asking for five thousand seemed feasible; now, it seemed the pauper pair hardly have five thousand altogether. A gleam appeared in her eyes: "Cecilia, take me next door, I’ll take her left rent money to treat my son." The girl was eager to help: "Alright, you and your son are pitiful, let me be a good Samaritan." Ivy Linden, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly said. "Call the police? You dare!" The woman raged: "Calling the police won’t change a thing, but my son’s injury is severe, I need the money now to treat him, don’t stall, worsening my son’s condition." "Mom, I’m hurting, I want to go to the hospital." The chubby boy cooperatively cried out. "Kenny, be good, mom will take you to see a doctor after getting the money, we can’t let them run away from hitting you." Said the woman. Ivy Linden ignored the woman, picked up her phone, and dialed the police. Seeing this, the woman had the urge to lunge and knock the phone out of Ivy Linden’s hands. She thought Ivy Linden was deliberately stalling. "Do you outsiders have no shame? Hit someone and dare call the police? If my son’s injury worsens, you won’t die easily." The woman’s words were vicious. Having successfully reached the police, Ivy Linden hung up the phone, looked at the woman, smiled coldly, no wonder they were a family, the chubby boy’s foul mouth certainly came from his mom. In towns, police response is quick; it’s local, arriving within ten minutes. "What’s going on?" The police. The woman, seizing the chance, stated: "She hit my son, swelling the back of his head, also swelling my face, refusing to take me and my son to the hospital."
