When Harold turned to look at the boarding desk again, he noticed that Autumn was about to board the plane.
Even if he were to rush over instantly, he still would not make it to her in time.
Irritated, Harold turned to look at the young woman coldly.
“What are you looking at, you d*mn thief? How dare you look at me like this? I'll dig your eyeballs out of their sockets!” the young woman hissed when she noticed Harold's hostile look.
She, too, was livid. She had rushed home from overseas to visit her gravely ill father. Now that her phone had been stolen, she couldn't contact her brother, who was supposed to pick her up from the airport.
Right then, a young man squeezed into the crowd. When he saw the young woman hugging another man, he asked in confusion, “Christie, what are you doing?”
Harold stiffened when he heard the voice.
Isn't that Jose's voice? So she's from the Fields family. No wonder she's such a bad judge of character. Her brother's the same. He thought I was trying to snatch his woman from him just because I was talking with Autumn. This girl's just like him. She actually thinks that I stole her phone. They're definitely siblings, given how they jump to conclusions!
“Jose, this b*stard just stole my new phone. You've come at the right time. Help me take him to the station and let them lock him up for a few years!”
The young woman named Christie quickly sought her brother's help the moment she saw him.
“What? The nerve of him to do that! How dare you steal my sister's phone? I'm going to end your life!”
A furious look manifested on Jose's face when he heard his sister's words. Instantly, he raised his arm, about to punch Harold's back.
His sister was the Fields family's only salvation, and he could not let his sister feel upset in any way at all.
Just as he was about to hit Harold's back, Harold abruptly turned.
The moment Jose registered Harold's face, his face paled drastically as if he had seen a ghost.
Alas, the punch he had thrown out could no longer be retracted. All he could do was change the direction of his punch to hit the air instead.
The inertia nearly made Jose sprawl on the ground.
“Jose, can you be any lousier? I'm already keeping him in place, yet you still failed to hit him. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Christie bellowed at her brother angrily.
Unfortunately, her brother did not have the time to respond to her.
“Let go of him! Hurry up and let go of him!”
Once Jose regained his balance, he quickly pushed his sister and the helpful people away.
“Jose, what the f*ck are you doing? This thief stole my phone, but you're going to let him go?”
Christie was stupefied by her brother's action.
Nevertheless, the answer she received from her brother was a loud slap to her face.
Smack!
Christie was dumbfounded after the slap, and that was an emotion shared by the crowd.
They had no idea what had gotten into the young man for him to slap his own sister in public.
“Mr. Campbell, please calm down. My sister doesn't know who you are. You must be a magnanimous man, Mr. Campbell, so please don't take her words and actions to heart,” Jose cried out in panic, ignoring his sister and the strange looks the people in the crowd were giving him.
“I don't have the time to concern myself with you siblings. I'll settle the score with you later.”
Harold was in a rush to go after Autumn, so that was all he said before shoving the people away.
