Harry immediately looked at the surveillance tape—sure enough, there were a handful of people from the West Family blocking the entrance to Harry’s house. Sarah’s father, Mr. West, and her stepmother, Judy Edwards, stood in front of the house—he held a feather duster with a furious expression while she pretended to sob. In addition, Sarah’s brother, sister-in-law, uncles and aunts were present as well.
Mr. West thought that Sarah was staying on her own because of her busy work schedule, but never expected her to be living with someone from the underworld.
He was now well-prepared with ropes to bring her home. I also want to take a good look at who this leader of the underworld is!
When Sarah looked at the surveillance tape, she freaked out when she saw her father in front of the door with a feather duster in his hand. Holding the bunny tail of Harry’s cute pink bunny costume, she asked fearfully, “What should we do, Old Wolf?”
However, Michael frowned while looking at Harry’s messy house. For two people who did not know how to manage their lives to stay together, it only brought disaster to them.
If Michael was Sarah’s father, he would have beaten Harry to death with the feather duster after seeing his daughter eating cup noodles all day along.
“Let’s calm down and tidy the entire place while changing the dishes.” Michael pointed at Harry’s striking costume. “Change your costume too, you indecent old fellow.”
…
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Mr. West’s face darkened when the guards still refused to allow him in. His group of family members behind him started to give snide remarks.
One of the women in heavy makeup led the conversation. “Oh dear, why aren’t they opening the gates? Is it because Sarah is doing something unspeakable?”
The group of women started to gossip among themselves. “How shameless! She has even locked her own father outside the gates!”
“What’s wrong with Sarah? How can she be associated with those from the underworld?”
“She’s a good child, but the older she becomes, the more useless she is. She’s a disgrace to the West Family!”
“The underworld is merely a bunch of gangsters who collect protection fees, especially when anyone can call themselves a member.”
“I heard that she suddenly took a few million from the family a while ago, supposedly to start her own business. Hmmph, I wonder what business she’s doing!”
“I bet she’s using the money to fool around with the gangsters!”
The more they discussed, the harsher the criticisms became and Mr. West was unable to retain his dignity any longer.
As a businessman himself, he had his fair share of dealing with people from the underworld. He even had a few friends—both from the underworld and from the lawful side. Many people of the underworld were also rather loyal to him, so he could close eye one if his future son-in-law was a decent man. As long as Harry was able to handle most scenarios, everything was doable.
However, Mr. West never expected the entire incident to be known by everyone in both the West Family and Judy’s family. Since both families gossiped about Sarah’s boyfriend who was allegedly from the underworld, Mr. West could not risk his pride being made fun of. I need to take a good look at him today! I’ll see whether he is really someone prominent from the underworld or merely a gangster. If he’s the latter, I’ll definitely bundle Sarah up and kidnap her home if I have to!
A few brothers from the West Family had started their business in the retail industry and learned from the Mitchell Family to stay together. It was obvious that nothing could be hidden from anyone when many people lived together under one roof. As a result, the incident surrounding Sarah was known by every member of the household.
Her stepmother, Judy, wiped her fake tears away. “It’s all my fault. If I cared more for Sarah, maybe she wouldn’t be that rebellious.”
The woman with thick makeup on her face next to Judy quickly added, “Judy, don’t be sad. This already happened when you married Peter, so let’s think of possible solutions to bring Sarah home!”
Both sisters agreed with each other, making themselves look kind. However, deep down in their hearts, they couldn’t wait for Sarah to be estranged from her father. The worse their estrangement is, the better.
He’s from the underworld? My *ss! He’s merely a gangster. People nowadays have the courage to claim that they are part of the underworld. Based on what Sarah has achieved, the best person whom she looked for ends up to be a good-for-nothing gangster!
Let’s see how Mr. West is going to defend her this time! If only he’s able to chase that b*tch from the family and take her shares away, it’ll be for the best!
Both Victoria and Judy had their own schemes in their minds, but the former was rather confused when she saw the area. What kind of a good-for-nothing will stay at such a strategic spot? It’s The Imperial after all!
Rumors had it that those who lived in the neighborhood descended from the aristocrats. The head of the Edwards Clan—Jordan Edwards—originally thought of purchasing a house in The Imperial, but failed to do so. No matter what, Sarah is still in love with a gangster. It doesn’t matter how well his life is; he is still a gangster.
