Chapter 37 Rogues
"You are that vicious bitch. You look so fair and pure. I don't expect you to be so vicious! You've hurt my
son so badly. I won't forgive you!" When the fat woman saw Alina coming over, she was so angry that
she swore loudly. She even wanted to rush to her to beat her.
"What's wrong with you? How could you talk dirty before you figure it out?" Wendy frowned and
stepped forward. She stood in front of Alina to protect her.
"Mom." Alina was a little touched by Wendy's action of protecting her, so she called her more sincerely
than usual.
Peter stood out and said, "Madam, this is the Xu Family. Could you please show some respect?"
The expressionless butler looked more powerful and intimidating than Wendy. The fat woman rolled her
eyes and then walked back while cursing.
Alina followed Wendy to Eric. With her head down, she called, "Dad."
Eric thought that she was startled by her words, so he comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid,
Alaina. Tell me what happened, and I will protect you."
A flash of surprise flashed through Alina's eyes. The father didn't care that his son might be bullied but
told her he would protect her. Was he a father who preferred girls to boys?

Noticing that Eric and Alina were whispering to each other, the fat woman protested, "What are you
whispering about? Do you have any explanation about your daughter's hitting my son?"
Glancing at the fat woman, Eric patted on Alina's shoulder and asked loudly, "Alaina, did you hurt two
boys?"
"Yes, Dad. But I didn't mean to do that," replied Alina.
Both the fat woman and the thin woman shouted, "She admitted hitting someone! Now the truth comes
to light. Whether she did it on purpose or not, it's wrong to hurt someone. You should pay for it!"
"Pay for it!" The two men also shouted.
"Will you hear my husband out? You only know money! If it is my daughter's fault, do you think he won't
pay for it?"
The thin woman pouted, "Yes, he is rich. So what? With a mother like you, no wonder she did such a
thing!"
"What do you mean? Yes, I'm rich, unlike you. The clothes you wear are even worse than those of
beggars who pick up our clothes!" Wendy said mean words with anger.
The thin woman looked at Wendy's clothes and felt jealous, angry and humiliated. "Your family are
beggars! You just have a little money. Don't be cocky! You hurt others. You think you are rich enough to
be unreasonable?"
"I am unreasonable? I..." Wendy frowned and wanted to argue again, but she was stopped by Eric.
Then, Eric continued to ask Alina, "Why did you hit them? Where did you hit them?"
Alina said, aggrieved, "I didn't mean to do that, Dad. It was them who bullied me first. They not only
wanted to get my money, but also wanted me to play with them. The pimply boy threatened me with a
knife and attempted to touch my face. I, I was so scared that I kicked him and swung my schoolbag to
keep the other boy away. I didn't know if I hit him. I was so scared that I ran away without looking
back!"
As soon as her words were finished, the whole room was quiet for a moment.
Wendy glared at those people who came to make trouble with her. "Your sons bullied my daughter.
How dare you ask for an explanation from us? They deserve being beaten to death by my daughter!"
The two women did not know what to say. When they heard that their sons were injured, they tried to
find out who had hurt them so that they could get some compensation. In such a hurry, they had no
time to ask the reason for their sons' injury.
The fat woman was stunned for a moment. Then she replied confidently, "Impossible! My son would
never do that. He is a good boy! It must be your daughter who lied!"
"My son is not that kind of person, too! I give him pocket money every week. There's no need to rob
anyone!"
At this time, the fat woman's husband looked at Alina with his dirty eyes and said, "In my opinion, this
little girl thinks she is very beautiful, so she hooks up with both Larry and Wayne. But she doesn't
expect that they are good friends. After her affair was discovered, she got furious and hurt our sons!"
"Yes, my husband is right. It must be your daughter's fault!"
The thin woman also agreed. Her son must be a good boy.
"Bullshit! My daughter is an innocent and pure girl. She can't be attracted by your son!" How could her
daughter like them?
Hearing what the fat woman's husband said, Alina almost burst into laughter. 'Why don't you just be a
scriptwriter?!' she thought.
In a huff, she said, "Dad, I really didn't mess with them. I just met them for the first time!"
In Eric's eyes, Alaina was a lovely and obedient girl, so he believed her words.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Listen to me." Eric calmly said, "My daughter never tells a lie. Now that she said she
didn't mess with your sons, she meant it. Since you don't believe her words, you can ask your sons to
confront her and see who's lying."
"Don't you understand what we're talking about? My son is lying in the hospital now and can't move a
bit. How can you ask him to come to confront your daughter? You're too bad!"
"That's right. The rich are too arrogant. You are not right to hit others, aren't you?"
The fat woman's husband said, "Who can testify that our son bullied your daughter? Did she get hurt or
not? Show me some evidence!"
The two women suddenly realized. Yes, why would they feel guilty? The little girl looked fine without
injuries. If there were no witnesses, what if their sons really wanted to bully her? They should show the
evidence!
Thinking of this, they were suddenly much more confident. If they had any scruples just now, now they
worried about nothing.
The fat woman stared at Alina and asked, "You said my son bullied you. What did he do to you? Did he
pinch you? Or did he rape you? You're not hurt! But there is irrefutable evidence for your injury to my
son and Wayne. Tell me, how much money are you going to pay for the compensation?"
The thin woman jumped to her feet and shouted, "There is a big bump on my son's head. The doctor
said he had a concussion. We don't know if it will have any bad impact on his head. You have to pay
five hundred thousand dollars for it at least. Otherwise, we won't leave!"
Her husband's eyes lit up. He swallowed and then said loudly, "Yes, at least five hundred thousand
dollars!"
The fat woman's husband widened his eyes, "My son hurt his dick, which is the lifeblood of a man. You
have to pay us one million dollars!"
When the fat woman heard the amount, her hands and feet began to tremble with excitement. She had
never seen so much money before.
"Not enough. It's my son's lifeblood. If he can't have a son in the future, it will be the end of our family.
At least two million dollars!"
'Do these people think they're bidding? Do they take others as fools?'
"We won't pay you a penny!" said Alina loudly. "It was your son who had bullied me first. I had to
defend myself. It's his fault!"
Wendy raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, my daughter defended herself justifiably!"
The fat woman's husband said like a rascal, "You said my son bullied you. Where's the evidence?
There is no evidence. We will surely win the case in the court!"
Actually, Eric understood that these people were not negotiating with them and they just took the
opportunity to blackmail.
But the matter was a little tricky. If there was evidence, Alaina's assault could be called justifiable
defense, or in the worst case, excessive defense. But if there was no evidence, it would become
intentional injury, which was much more serious.
Alina was really pissed off by them. 'Should I leave the evidence to prove my innocence when I am
bullied? This is so ridiculous!' she thought.
"It's okay for me to compensate you, but I have to let my daughter confront them first. If it's really my
daughter's fault, I agree to pay!" Eric was indeed a capable businessman. He was patient and calm
when dealing with problems.
The couple looked at each other. The fat woman's husband was the first to disagree. "My son is in a
coma. You have the nerve to confront him? What if his condition gets worse?"
The thin woman quickly said, "So does my son. He got a concussion. How does he confront you? What
if you scare him?
All in all, they didn't want to confront Alina.
Wendy was so angry that she shouted, "You are acting like rogues and unreasonable! Shameless!"
The fat woman said with sarcasm, "Who is to blame? It's all your fault for raising such a good
daughter!"
"You damn fat woman..." Wendy rolled up her sleeves and wanted to fight with her. They were going
too far!
"You bitch! Come on, if you have the guts! I'm not afraid of you!"
When they were about to fight, five policemen entered the room.
"Someone called the police and said that someone made trouble here. Is it true?" The leading
policeman looked around and asked seriously.
Wendy frowned and said, "Sir, you come at the right time. These people are truly making trouble in my
house. Please take them away!"
The fat woman shouted, "What? Her daughter hurt my son. We are negotiating with them. How could
we make trouble?"
Eric stood out and shook hands with the policemen. "Sir, thank you for your help. We didn't call the
police. It is just a small case. We can solve it in private. Thank you for coming."
Generally speaking, the police would not intervene in a fight if the involved parties didn't want the police
involved. So the leading policeman confirmed again, "No one in your family called the police?"
When the policemen were about to leave, they heard a voice, "Wait. I called the police!"
