Leslie's short reply faintly reached Calix but, it was enough to irritate him further. In his mind, he was already slamming Gerard a few times against the sandbag, including kicking the trashy man.
"Haa... That guy and his big mouth. What a pain in the ass."
Shaking his head out of frustration, Calix exhaled a loud sigh. Taking his left hand out of his pants pocket, he randomly massaged the back of his neck, thinking of Gerard's audacity.
Leslie pursed her lips, suddenly feeling guilty for being honest. Even though Calix's reaction was mild compared to her expectation, this matter was surely a touchy subject.
"Did he mention about my grandfather... wronging my grandmother?"
Calix's previous question was enough to say something bad happened between Old Madam Xu and her deceased husband. But, Leslie didn't dare to question the truth behind the cheating allegations.
