It was Regan!
When Arissa saw who it was, hatred colored her surprised expression.
She forcefully flung his hand away and shouted, “Don't touch me!”
He was taken aback by the disdain on her face.
When he thought about how she returned to the country and insulted his other family members, rage burned bright in his heart. “What's this attitude you're giving me, huh?”
She stared at his furious expression coldly. There weren't any emotions passing through her heart because she already steeled herself. I thought he would at least show that he missed me, but I guess not.
“What kind of attitude do you want me to give you then?” she asked mockingly.
Regan became even more furious as steam was practically rushing out of his nose.
“You brat!” he roared. “Tell me, how long have you been back?”
Arissa raised her chin and stared at him coldly instead of answering the question.
After all, it had nothing to do with him how long she had returned.
“I'm willing to overlook that you're not going home, but you even get someone to beat up your grandma and cousin! When did you become so cruel?”
Her expression turned even colder as she faced his questioning. “The moment you sold me five years ago, you're no longer my father. Why would I care about your family? They were the ones who came to pick a fight with me. Do you think I'll let you all bully me like before?”
His expression darkened in the face of her mockery. “I didn't sell you. I found you a good man to marry. It's fine if you can't see what I'm trying to do for you, but now you're hating me for it?”
He was losing his ground as he had been exposed.
“Ha! A good man, you say? He's old enough to be your dad! You're truly shameless, Regan York. Do you think I can't sue you for selling your daughter?” Her lips curved upward coldly.
Regan was so livid that his face was turning completely black. “This is outrageous! You want to sue me?”
He was about to slap her when his arm was stopped by another person's hand.
When his gaze shifted to his side and he saw an insidious look, he became scared.
Benjamin wanted to help her initially, but since she seemed to have the situation under control, he simply stood at the side and observed. He didn't expect Regan to raise his hand on Arissa.
Thus, he interfered. Otherwise, his woman would be getting a slap in front of him.
The children in the car didn't know who Regan was. However, when they saw their mother arguing with him, they became worried, even more so when Regan attempted to hit her.
Just as they were about to exit the car in a rage, they saw Benjamin make his move, and they decided to stay.
Jasper asked, “Who's that bad guy?”
Zachary narrowed his eyes and glanced between Arissa and Regan. He had no idea.
Oliver gritted his teeth. “How can a man hit someone willy-nilly? He's such a low-life! Mommy hasn't even made a move!”
Jesse suggested. “Let's go down and teach that guy a lesson, Gavin! How dare he bullied Mommy!”
Gavin raised his hand. “Let's wait and see first. Daddy is there! We probably won't be able to help them anyway. In fact, we may even cause more trouble and make Mommy worry about us!”
Tim found that line of reasoning logical. “We'll wait and see first.”
At that moment, Regan's intimidation waned significantly. “Who are you?”
Benjamin grinned coldly. It gave Regan goosebumps.
“You don't deserve to know who I am!”
Regan's face had turned as dark as ink. He wanted to argue back, but he shook in his boots when he saw Benjamin's chilling glare.
Unlike Finley and the others, Regan had some common sense. His gut was telling him that whoever he was talking to wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
Still, he argued, “In any case, you're just an outsider, regardless of who you are! You don't have the right to interfere in me teaching my daughter!”
“Indeed, I don't have the right. However...”
