Chapter 125
At that moment, Melanie felt as if her feet were nailed to the ground. She wanted to move, but she could not. In the end, she heard Dylan calling her name hoarsely.
“Mel, quick! Take Peachie away!”
George, who had been punching Dylan relentlessly, suddenly stopped when he heard what she said. He turned his head to look at Melanie, and in his murky eyes, a ferocity gleamed.
He sneered at Melanie. “You’re the bitch’s daughter, huh?”
Melanie snapped out of her stupor. She took a few steps back discreetly, but George had already shaken off Dylan and was marching toward her.
He was not a tall man, but he was strong and looked menacing. He spat on the ground and said, “You were lucky I couldn’t find you last time. Now that you’re here in the city, be quick and pay me back!”
His voice was loud, and coupled with Dylan’s wailing, they had attracted many onlookers. Melanie was practically cornered and could only watch as George approached her.
Trembling, she tried to sound calm as she replied, “I don’t owe you any money.
“Your mother and sister owe me money, so it’s your turn to pay! You have a wealthy man with you, right? Have him pay me!” George’s voice boomed, and Melanie’s head throbbed with pain.
She took a deep breath and replied, “Dylan is your wife, and Peachie is your daughter!”
“This wife and daughter of mine are just useless things that only cost me money!” George was very agitated. He raised his hand and pushed Melanie on the shoulder.
Melanie was feeling unwell to begin with, and when George shoved her, she stumbled backward. Luckily, there were many people behind her, and someone reached out to steady her just in time.
There was an intense smell of cigarettes wafting from George, and with him being so close, Melanie felt dizzy and nauseous. This was the first time in many years that she had been publicly confronted on the street, pointed at, and verbally abused.
The onlookers‘ gazes made her even more embarrassed.
