"Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Amy pretended to not know anything, but inside, she was panicking.
"When will you stop playing dumb with me?"
Bob came up to her angrily and slapped on her face.
Amy covered her face with her hand, staring at her father in shock. He didn't used to slap her. But this year, he slapped her more than once.
What was wrong with this year?
What's more, she had no idea why he slapped her. And, there were people watching.
"Father, why did you slap me again? What's the matter with you? Why did you slap me without a reason?"
Tears rolled down from her eyes. Every little girl would sob when faced with a father who acted like this.
Just now, Bob was too angry to see Derek on the side. Now that he saw him, he became even more angry. "Who's this guy?"
Amy was flustered. But fortunately Bob didn't know he was Linda's uncle, so she cooked up an identity for him. "He is one of my friends."
Bob knew her well. How could she become friends with a guy like this? He saw through her lie at once, but he didn't care about it now. He had something more important to deal with. He coldly told Derek, "Excuse me, sir, I have something to say to my daughter. Would you mind leaving us alone?"
Upon hearing that, Derek wondered whether they were putting on a show in front of him. Was it because they don't want to give him the money? He immediately yelled out, "Hey! Stop your play! Don't take me for a fool. Where is my money? I won't leave until you give it to me."
"What money?" Bob was confused.
"Please leave! I will give you the money next time."
Amy saw that things were going wrong. She hurriedly asked Derek to leave. If Bob found out the truth, it would be harder to wind this matter up.
"No way. I said I wouldn't leave until I get the money. Lady Amy, you asked for information about Linda, and I gave you that. Now, it's time for you to pay up. Don't try to fool me with that show. Don't you think about getting rid off me."
His words reminded Bob that he was the one who made a scene at Linda's engagement party. Wasn't he Linda's uncle?
Bob soon understood that Amy must have done something bad with him. "Oh, I remember you. You bastard, how dare you stay here? If you don't leave, I'll call Young Master Mu to take you away. What do you think?"
Derek almost wet himself when he heard the name.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fine! I'm leaving, but I promise I'll get my money!" Then, he dashed out of the room immediately, Leaving Bob and Amy inside.
Bob's health hadn't been doing well these days. His heart made him suffer a lot lately.
After talking to Amy just now, he felt a dull pain in his heart and even had trouble breathing.
He grabbed a chair and sat on it, gasping for breath.
"Father."
