The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 869

"Peggy Li, right?" Scar stared at Peggy without emotion.

"Yes." Peggy looked down as she answered, not daring to hold the man's gaze. She searched her brain, but couldn't think of any reason why a group of fierce-looking men where looking for her. "Sorry but, what are you doing here?"

"The person that we are looking for is you," Scar said with his eyes still on Peggy. With that, he didn't say another word but pushed Peggy aside and entered the house.

"What's going on here?" Doris looked to Allen for an answer. "Allen, tell me, what exactly is happening here? Is it because of you? Did you go out and gamble again? Do you owe people money and these people are looking for you?"

"No, no. I quit gambling a long time ago," Allen denied shaking his head. "You said that you didn't like me gambling. I did as you said. I haven't dared step inside the casino since. I have been with you. How would I even get a chance to gamble if I'm with you?"

"Then what is happening now?" Doris asked as she pointed her finger at the tall and strong men that forced their way in. "Tell me, why did all these people come here then?"

"I..." Allen stammered, fumbling for words. But he didn't know how to explain the situation. "I really have no idea. I don't know these people. I don't know why they are here."

Allen became angry and offended. This was his property. It was his home. How dare these people just barge into his house without his consent? He stepped in front of Scar and challenged him, "Who the hell are you? And what the hell are you doing here? Do you think this is a place where you can come and go at your own will? Get your ass out of here or else I will kick you all out. Don't you see that we are eating. You have ruined my family's meal, you asshole!"

"You little shit, shut the fuck up!" A rough looking guy standing next to Scar cursed him, as he shoved Allen back. He looked so ruthless as if he wouldn't hesitate to kill Allen right on the spot.

"Allen, shut up!" Peggy yelled at Allen. She could see that this group of people were not to be reckoned with. All of them were covered in fierce tattoos and looked intimidating. They weren't just anyone from the street. You could tell that they were used to harassing people.

If Allen continued this kind of attitude toward them, they would surely lose their patience and became violent. The best thing to do was to cooperate with them.

"I see, you were about to eat." Scar mocked and commented on the meal after glancing at the table, "The food looks good."

"Thank you." Peggy glimpsed at Scar and said in a soft tone, "Could you please tell us why you are here? When you tell us what you want then we can solve this, right?"

"There's no rush." Scar turned his eyes to Allen and pointed to him. "You! Bring me some cutlery!"

"Who the hell do you think you are!" yelled Allen at Scar. He was about to curse some more but his mother cut him off.

"Allen, didn't you hear what he said? Go bring the cutlery! Why are you still standing there? Go! Quickly!" she said hastily.

Allen was brave enough to stand up to Scar, but not his mom. With much reluctance, he brought a bowl and a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen. Doris, Allen, and Peggy could do nothing but watch as Scar wolfed down everything that was on the table. There was enough food there to feed a family of three. He ate as if he hadn't eaten for days. After he finished devouring all the dishes, he put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth using the back of his hand and burped out loud, satisfied with the meal.

"Who on earth are you guys? Why have you come to our house?" Doris asked annoyed with a frown.

Her burning questions were left unanswered. Scar replied with only a glare and a sneer, without saying anything.

She frowned even more and the strong irritation compelled her to threaten Scar, "If you don't answer me, I will call the police."
