As soon as Scarlett got out of the car, those men's eyes lit up.
Viviana and Yair walked up to Scarlett, blocking those people's view.
It was not dark yet. Scarlett recognized Cormend standing among those men.
Viviana's face was more serious than usual. She looked back at Scarlett and said, "Scarlett, get back into the car. I'll settle the matter."
"Aunt, I'm afraid they came here not just for money.”
Scarlett paused and looked at Cormend. " The man we met at noon is also here."
Hearing this, Viviana instantly understood that she couldn't send them away by throwing money.
When they were in the hotel, Scarlett told Viviana some things about Gormend.
Scarlett didn't know much about Gormend. Kyleigh once came to Juanton City to make trouble for Scarlett, and Katherine investigated the Booker family at that time. Thus, Scarlett got some information about Gormend while reading the documents.
Gormend had been idling about since he dropped out of school at the age of sixteen. He sometimes went to the town to steal with the rogues in the village and came back at two or three o'clock in the morning. He had been caught a few times, but the things he stole were not valuable, so he had just been jailed for several days.
Gormend seemed to know that he would violate criminal law if he stole too much money. He always stole four or five hundred dollars at a time and stole again after using all the money.
The police in this village were all local people. Gormend was familiar with them. Even if he was caught, he could be released soon. Gormend and his friends had been emboldened.
Scarlett hadn't expected that they would dare to stop the cars and rob in the daytime.
These people were obviously uneducated and always stole.
