Chapter 790 Just A Child
Even after the plane took off, Alex still could not catch a break, for the elderly woman and her grandson seated next to him made sure it was so.
The child, Billy, knew exactly what his grandmother wanted him to do when she gave him a look. Smiling deviously. Billy took the gum out of his mouth while he eyed Alex’s pants.
However, before Billy could stick the gum onto Alex’s bottom wear, the man swiftly grasped Billy’s hand and turned it around.
When Billy realized that the gum had ended up sticking on his hair, he cried out loud and buried himself in his grandmother’s chest. However, Alex did not see a drop of tear on that boy’s face.
Upset that Alex made her grandson cry, the elderly woman looked daggers at the man. “What’s wrong with you? Why the heck did you stick the gum on my grandson’s head?”
To that. Alex responded with a nonchalant shrug. “Hey, your boy started it first. He was going to stick it on. my pants. Do you have any idea how expensive this pair of pants is? You can’t possibly afford to compensate me even if you want to. I only did what I had to do to prevent losses, ma’am.”
Among the clothes on Alex that day, that bottom wear was the most valuable. Maggie had purposely bought the man a full suit to attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration.
However, Alex did not like wearing suits and ties, so he only wore the pants.
The slick bottom wear was simplistic in design and had no brand logos on it, but Alex remembered the one hundred sixty-eight thousand and eight hundred price tag that came with it.
The man also remembered that the pants were custom-made by a famous foreign tailor, who he did not recognize because he was not a brand-conscious man.
Even after listening to Alex, the elderly woman remained unsatisfied. “You think that justifies what you did to my grandson? Billy is just a child, and you’re an adult, so you should know better than to bully a child. So what if Billy sticks his gum on your pants? How much could your pants be worth? You don’t look like someone who can afford anything expensive. No matter how you put it, you’re in the wrong for bullying my grandson like that.”
Seeing how adamant his grandmother was about defending him, the child decided to get his revenge on Alex, so he spat on the man’s bottom wear several times in a row.
The elderly woman had no intention of stopping Billy’s rude behavior. In fact, she was ready to get physical with Alex if the man dared to lay a finger on her grandson.
Even at such an old age, the woman would never let anyone bully her grandson and get away with it. She thought she could probably get some monetary compensation from Alex in the process too.
Billy was still unsatisfied even after spitting on Alex, so he put another gum into his mouth and started -chewing.
Not long after that, he took it out and stuck it on Alex’s pants. The man was already scowling at Billy when the boy spat on him, but still, he did nothing to stop Billy.
