Chapter 45
With so much noise, many people gathered around to see what was going on.
Suddenly, someone tugged on Amelie’s sleeves and told her, “Their family heard that you were divorced without anything and found out that your father sold his shoe-making technique. So, they think that you guys definitely won’t have the money to move back into the house. They’re trying to chase your family out and take the house.”
The person talking was a woman named Celine Barr. She was giving Amelie a heads-up for the sake of her connections with Amelie during the old days.
However, when she saw that ferocious look from Tom, she was afraid that she would bring trouble herself, so she stepped out of it after she warned Amelie.
At this moment, a smirk tugged on Amelie’s lips, and her face showed ruthlessness. Appeasement really brings disaster. Dad let them stay in our house for so many years, but these b*stards actually want to claim it as
their own?
“Tom, it’s Amelie. She pushed me,” Abby shouted as she pointed at Amelie while sitting on the ground. At the same time, she was hinting at her son with her eyes.
Hearing that, Tom swung the carrying pole at Amelie immediately. “Amelie Dillion! You dare to hurt my mom?! I’ll beat you to death!”
However, Amelie acted as though she didn’t see his carrying pole. She just parted her lips and said, “Are you sure you want to beat me up? The police station is not far from here You’ll need to pay with your life if you beat me to death!”
In fact, he just wanted to scare her, just like what he had discussed with Abby. Since Amelie was divorced without anything, no one would have her back. On top of that, Steven was just a nice guy. He sold his business and didn’t have any power either. As a result, if he scared her a little, he could definitely make her and Steven flee in terror, never to return.
In their eyes, Steven’s shoemaking technique was only worth a few thousand. A few thousand won’t make significant difference. There’s nothing to be afraid of!
The two of them were just thinking about claiming the house and didn’t care whether Amelie’s family would survive when they left the place.
Yet, at this moment, Amelie had a calm expression as though she was not terrified at all.
When Tom saw that, his hand trembled a little.
“If you dare to beat my mommy, she’ll definitely send you to jail!” Bria shouted loudly. Mommy said that we couldn’t cause trouble, but if the trouble is here, we can’t be afraid!
She stood in front of Amelie and used her big eyes to glare fiercely at Tom.
Seeing that, Amelie was scared that Bria would get hurt, so she pulled her to the back.
“Tom, what are you afraid of? We have people on our side in the police station!” Abby shouted from the ground. “They hit us, so we hit them back. It’s just self-defense.”
When she noticed that Amelie wasn’t terrified, she wanted to let Tom hit her a few times so that she would finally be afraid.
Hearing that, Tom plucked up some courage right away and smashed the carrying pole at Amelie.
Luckily, Amelia actually learned martial arts before. Steven only had one daughter, who appeared frail. Afraid that she would be at a disadvantage in the future, he walked the extra mile to sign her up for MMA classes in the city area.
Although it had been a long time since she last trained, the foundation was still there. She raised her leg and was ready to fight back.
Clatter! When the carrying pole was swung just five centimeters away from Amelie’s leg, it suddenly stopped.
Under his pole was a knife!
Seeing that, the shocked Tom bellowed, “Who’s interfering?! Get lost!”
As he raised his head, he saw clearly that the person with the knife was Steven!
Meanwhile, Amelie recognized Steven too, and she was shocked. “Dad?”
However, Steven didn’t reply to her as his eyes were fixed on Tom. “You dare to lay a finger on my daughter?” He raised the knife in his hand and slashed it at Tom.
Steven was never angry and was always polite to everyone. Even if people took advantage of him, he wouldn’t mind. So this was the first time Tom had seen Steven so enraged.
His face was contorted with rage, and his glare was hostile. From the sound of his knife slashing through the air, one could tell that he was really going to kill!
At this moment, Tom was scared out of his wits. He could only use the pole in his hand to defend himself.
However, the pole was slashed in half by Steven! He had such great strength that he nearly chopped Tom’s
head off.
That feeling of a knife sliding across the head was extremely terrifying, making the terrified Tom turn around and run away.
Amelie and Bria were Steven’s weak spots. Now that they had been bullied, how could he let this go? So, with the knife in his hand, he pursued Tom from behind. As he did that, he threw a glance at Abby on the ground.
