"You know these guys?" Belinda pointed at the intruders. Even as she asked, she was doubtful that Kevin had anything to do with such a low-class gang.
Who are you? How did you get in here?" Kevin asked. He looked at them with cold eyes. His gaze narrowed at the woman who wore the heavy make-up.
"Wait, let me guess. This is A8001, right? Is the Bugatti with a number plate of 7578 yours?" the woman asked. She herself was confused now. This was supposed to be the right place, but the girl she was looking for was nowhere to be seen. The man in front of her was not fat and old as she had thought he would be. Instead, he was young, fit and wore a military shirt. It seemed that she had really stepped into the wrong house.
"Yes, it is. But why are you here?" Kevin gritted his teeth. He didn't know that people were so rude these days that they broke into someone else's place for no reason.
"Then it's the right place. I came here to look for the little bitch, not you two," the woman said, snorting. Knowing she had come to the right place fed her arrogance. Besides, the man was just a soldier. He was a nobody to her.
"Hey, now. What little bitch? Watch your language, all right?" Kevin asked, enraged. He glared at the woman with his eagle-like eyes. Since he and Belinda were out of the question, Leena was definitely the one they were looking for. But Leena was kind and adorable. How could she have messed with this gang?
My language? Humph, you are just a poor soldier. You are asking me to watch my language? Do you know who I am? My name would scare you enough to wet your pants. Ask the person in charge to see me! I don't want to waste my time with a nobody,"
the woman said, sniffing with derision. This man was just a poor soldier according to her. His good looks couldn't do him much favor. However, it seemed odd that a poor person could live in such a luxury apartment. Maybe the young man was just a guest here. The fat and old man must be the master of this place.
"This is my place. You can tell me what you want," Kevin said, ignoring the contempt in her voice. His face held no expression. How could she look down on soldiers, who risked their lives to defend the country and bring people safety?
"What? You own this place? You must be kidding me. I want to see the little bitch and her lover. Couldn't she do something else for a living? Humph, I guess being a mistress is the easy way out," the woman mocked, sneering. She didn't believe that Kevin, who was a poor soldier, could afford such a high-class apartment.
"Wait, wait. What are you talking about? Old woman, who is this mistress and his lover you are talking about? Do you know what you are saying?" Belinda interrupted. She was confused at the rude woman's accusation. It seemed that the woman came here to expose an affair, but the man she was talking about was not here!
Humph! If this is A8001, I've come to the right place. Don't waste my time. Where is the bitch? I want her here. Hiding won't do her any good. I am going to teach her a lesson. I will ruin her face and cut off her eloquent tongue," she said tersely. From her venomous tone, it was easy to gauge how much she hated Leena.
"So from what I infer, the scratch on my wife's face came from you?" Kevin asked. He had been confused about why Leena's face was scratched, and now the reason for it was standing right in front of him.
"Your wife? What are you talking about? I haven't even touched her since I came here," the woman said, looking at Belinda. She mistook Belinda to be Kevin's wife.
"Why are you looking at me, old woman? He is the husband of my sister-in-law, not my husband!" Belinda explained and stepped back. She couldn't risk irritating this heavily made-up woman. She was by no means a decent person and might lose her mind at any moment.
"Bitch, how dare you call me an old woman again? Say it again and I will cut your tongue off," the woman said, pissed off. She proved the old saying that women were particularly sensitive about their age.
Ooh, I am so scared. Do you know that there is something like being civil? You guys clearly know nothing about the law. You can stay here. I will teach you what law is," Kevin said. How bold these people were to come to his own house and threaten him!
"Oh, really? You? A little poor soldier? Hah! Frightening!" the woman responded with sarcasm as she looked him up and down. Her eyes flashed with disdain.
"Tell me. There must be someone protecting you. Who is it?" Kevin asked as he ignored her sharp put-down. The woman was swollen with arrogance, so she must have someone with authority backing her.
"Are you blind? Can't you see the men I've brought here?" the woman asked, stupid enough not to know what Kevin meant.
Aha, Kevin. I guess you don't have much experience dealing with this kind of oddballs," Belinda said, chuckling. She didn't know that there were people who dared to threaten Kevin. "What's so funny, bitch?" the woman hissed at Belinda, who was still laughing.
"Oh my God. What is it about you that I am laughing so much?" Belinda retorted. She glanced at the group of men who stood behind the woman, debating whether Kevin could take them on.
"Okay, I see that you little kids don't know how to show me some respect. Guys, let's destroy this place," the woman ordered the men, motioning them to go inside.
"Just to let you know first. For what you ruin here tonight, I will ask for ten times worth of damages," Kevin said coldly. He didn't stop them, for he was looking forward to knowing who was protecting this gang.
"Oh, really? You ask me for money? Listen guys, ignore him and go inside. I will see what he can do." The woman laughed. She was a bit alarmed by Kevin's calm attitude at first, but she soon turned back to her arrogant self when she remembered who was protecting her.
"Do you guys know who this man is? I want to tell you before you dare to ruin his place," Belinda said. She was by no means scared of them, but she wanted to reveal Kevin's army status to them. What they were doing was a waste of time.
What's the noise? Oh, it's you, old woman. I see you've learned a lot since the last time we met. You brought a lot of stooges with you," Leena said, walking downstairs. She had been enjoying her hot bath but was disturbed by the sounds at the door, so she came down to see what was going on. The old woman had said that she would teach Leena a lesson last time. It seemed that she meant to ransack Leena's place.
"Oh, so you finally decided to come out. I thought you are going to hide forever," the woman mocked Leena. She was furious to see her rival.
"Humph! I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I have to hide from you? Who do you think you are?" Leena said, snorting. She wore a casual suit which she had changed into after the bath. The scratch on her face looked more obvious now that she had washed up.
"Nana, what's wrong? It looks like the scratch has become worse," Kevin frowned, looking at his wife with worry. He had thought that the scratch was just a little problem. It should have disappeared in a few days, not gotten worse.
"I'm okay. It'll heal in a few days. Look, the thing is, I accidentally occupied this woman's parking place this morning, after I drove Claire to the mansion. I apologized to her, but she didn't accept my apology and cursed me. She talked about teaching me some lesson and scratched my face before I could defend myself. I swore to God and said sorry to her, really showing this woman my kindness and respect, but she wasn't kind in return and insulted me instead. I couldn't stand her and so we fought," Leena said, frowning. This woman had now come to her place, but Leena still didn't think there was something wrong with what she did. She didn't mean to take the woman's parking space. It had only been an accident.
