Chapter 172 Anthony Protects His Siblings

Erin frowned as her instincts told her that Liam was no pushover.

The next thing she knew, two men had appeared in front of her and motioned at her to leave.

Refusing to put up with the humiliation, Erin turned toward the manager and yelled desperately, “What the heck is wrong with you guys? They’re the ones ganging up on me! How am I the troublemaker here?”

Unfortunately for her, the manager wasn’t having any of it. “Madam, please cooperate with us or we will have to use force.”

Of course, Erin wasn’t going to just leave without putting up a fight. “I’m not going anywhere! Do you guys have any idea who I am?”

Not wanting to waste any more time with her, the manager ordered, “Get her out of here!”

The two men then grabbed Erin by the arms and started dragging her out of there.

Zachary happened to come in through the door at the time. He immediately ran forward when he saw his mother being dragged away. “What’s happening, Mom? Please stop this, you guys!”

As if she had found a glimmer of hope in a sea of darkness, Erin pleaded with him, “They’re ganging up on me, son!”

Zachary frowned when he looked up and saw Terence and Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, Old Mr. Watson, what’s going on here?”

Terence was just as shocked to see him show up. “Zachary? She’s your mother?”

Zachary nodded reluctantly. “Yes, she is. Can you tell me what happened?”

The look on Terence’s face turned gloomy instantly, and he looked away without saying a word.

“Zachary, you know these people?” Erin asked.

Zachary simply frowned and kept quiet.

Oh? What a coincidence! This guy has already gotten off to a bad start before he even does anything! Looks like we have the upper hand here!

Liam arched a brow at the thought of that.

Despite feeling a little relieved, he maintained a calm expression and cleared his throat as he said, “She bumped into Denise and refused to apologize. On top of that, she even threatened to teach them a lesson on our behalf. I was just returning the favor.”

Zachary shifted his gaze toward Erin upon hearing that.

Erin shook her head profusely. “No, that’s not true! These two kids wouldn’t get out of my way, so I was just trying to scare them a little!”

Zachary frowned as he knew his mother’s personality all too well.

He then ignored her and shifted his gaze toward Denise as he asked, “Are you okay, Denise? Did she hurt you anywhere?”

Denise rubbed a reddened spot on her head and said, “Right here, but I’m all good now.”

“I’m sorry you got hurt like this, Denise. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf, okay?”

“Zachary!” Erin protested angrily.

Denise nodded. “Okay! I’ll stop being mad since you’ve apologized, Mr. Zach!”

Zachary gave her a pat on the head before turning to look at Anthony. “Anthony, I—”

“No need to apologize to me. I’m fine with it as long as my sister is. Just keep in mind that I will not sit by and do nothing if someone bullies my sister.” Anthony cut him off.

Zachary flashed him a smile as he continued, “I understand, but I still need to apologize to you regardless.”

Anthony could only let out a helpless sigh in response.
