Chapter 334

작가: Zesty Zing
The moment Leon saw backup arrive, he tore free from Stanley's grip and scrambled toward the door.

"Mr. Horion, help me!" He positioned the teacher between himself and the room, his expression hardening into something dangerous again now that he had protection. "Mr. Horion, these people broke into our school and attacked us without a word. Look at what he did to my classmates."

He gestured toward the students sprawled across the floor, groaning in pain, righteous indignation filling his voice.

  • Nine Ungrateful Sisters   Chapter 380

    After hearing the old couple's introduction, Irene straightened without realizing it. 'A poor family that stumbled into money. Not remotely in the same league as my family.'"If he's not here, I'll come back in a few days." The arrogance lasted all of three seconds before she remembered the blond-haired men outside. "I... actually, would it be all right if I waited at your place?"She shifted uneasily. "Your granddaughter isn't home, is she?"She needed their protection if she wanted to leave safely, but she could hardly admit that without looking like a coward. And if Rebecca happened to be home...She touched her cheek. Being recognized was one thing. Getting slapped across the face was another."You must be close to Oscar." George's smile remained easy. "You even know about his sister. But you've come at a bad time. Becca and Oscar went out together.""Oh, good. That's fine then." Irene let out a quiet breath. "Let me help you finish packing. Then we can go over and wait for h

    Of course they would be hostile toward a strange woman asking about him."I'm his friend." Irene told a small lie. "I heard he was driven out of the Chamberlains. I've been worried about him. I just wanted to come see how he's doing."That did it. The tension in the old couple's faces eased."Oh, a friend of Oscar's!"In Irene's eyes, the grandmother's expression changed at the mention of his name. Something close to tears flickered across her face.She took Irene's hand and seemed about to say something, but George cut her off before she could speak. "All right, enough of that. What are you getting teary-eyed for? Do you even know the kind of people Oscar keeps as friends?"Helena blinked and composed herself. "Right, right. A friend of Oscar's. You've come at a bad time, I'm afraid. He's been away these past few days.""Away?" Irene frowned. "Then I'll wait here. I have something important I need to discuss with him."George's expression shifted slightly. "What's your name, y

    Irene sat with the discomfort of someone who could not find a position that felt safe.She kept her head down and avoided looking at George. She feared that the upright, composed expression she had seen moments ago might give way to something worse.However, the shack was cold. Air slipped through the walls from every direction. Irene rubbed her palms together and quietly weighed her options.These two old people probably couldn't outrun her.Her gaze drifted instinctively to George's legs.At that exact moment, George happened to be looking at her.She jerked her eyes away like a startled rabbit.Beside him, Helena gave him a light swat on the arm. "Don't mind him, young lady. That's just how things are around here."Those boys aren't bad at heart. They just never had anyone to teach them right from wrong when it mattered. They should be well out of earshot by now. You could leave if you wanted. But don't wait until dark. A young woman alone at night out here, that's a differe

    Titus panicked and reached for Irene, trying to catch her eye and signal her to play along.Irene missed it.George didn't, and his anger flared at once. "Get lost. Get out of my sight right now. The next time I catch you harassing a young woman, I'll break your legs and something extra."'An angry old man hurling threats at a group of young punks?' Irene's first thought was that he had lost his mind. 'Isn't he worried they may decide to make an example of him?'Unexpectedly, Titus clenched his fists, shot Irene a hard look, and held back two of his followers who had already started forward. He waved a hand, and the entire group turned and walked away.Irene stared in disbelief. "They're leaving?"The group had chased her all the way here with blood in their eyes, and now they were simply walking off?She glanced at the old man beside her. The stories she had read hadn't been lies after all. The truly formidable lived quietly among ordinary people. The real power in a room could

    The men behind her were getting closer. In another second, those grinning faces would be pressed against her.Without thinking, Irene ran and threw herself through the open door of a nearby shack.The place was tiny. She took it all in at a glance.The first thing that caught her eye was the back wall. It was not solid. A wooden board had been nailed over it, as though someone had kicked the original wall apart and patched it back together. It looked out of place against everything around it.Two elderly people were inside. Their faces were lined with wrinkles as deep and distinct as brushstrokes in an oil painting.They were sorting through clothing, their hands thick with calluses. Thοse were two people who had worked with their hands their entire lives.The moment Irene saw them, regret hit her hard. "No!"How had she ended up running into the home of two old people? They couldn't help her. Worse, she might drag them into trouble that had nothing to do with them.They had no

    The sight hit Irene like a physical blow.Oscar had grown up in the Chamberlain household too. She could barely bring herself to look at it. When Oscar had been driven out, how had he managed to look at this place?The weight in Irene's chest grew heavier, strengthening her resolve to find him.At some point along the way, however, her reason for coming had quietly changed. She was no longer here to ask for his help. She was there to rescue him from that.Irene moved deeper into the shantytown, but a sheltered young woman raised in comfort had no place in an area like this. Everything about her stood out.Before long, a few young men with dyed hair wandered over."Hey, beautiful. Looking for someone?"Irene's first instinct was to turn around and leave immediately.However, the group spread out and blocked her path."Don't be like that. Tell us what's wrong. We'll help you out."She tried to push past them, first one way, then the other, but they blocked her every time.Hold
