“Compensation? Fatty, are you insane? Do you know that this is Mr. Lucian Farwell, the Chairman of Farwell Group? How do you intend to compensate him?” “Fatso, you’re in so much trouble today. What an insolent brat you have! You’re definitely asking for trouble!”
“Has anyone informed the police yet? I think there will be no need to do that. Just push his son into the pool and let the dolphins have some fun with him!”
Before Lucian and Roxanne could do anything, the crowd became agitated and was ready to deal with that pair of recalcitrant father and son. When the fat man heard their scolding, he got so frightened that his face turned pale.
Glancing at his son, he exploded with anger when he noticed the ignorant expression on the boy. The man then gave his son a few hard smacks on his head.
“You brat! Are you trying to get me into trouble? D*mn it! Who told you to push the girl into the water? F*ck! Just my luck…”
Not only did the man scold his son, but he also hit and kicked the boy. The plump child began to howl in pain. Unfortunately, no one took pity and felt sorry for the boy. Some people even egged the father on and told him to hit harder. After all, the child needed to be taught a lesson.
Just then, a very guilty-looking keeper walked up to Lucian and Roxanne. The keeper then apologized, “Sir, Madam, I’m genuinely very sorry. I was the one who invited your children to the performance. That’s how everyone got into trouble. This is our fault. How can we make it up to you?”
Roxanne shook her head. “This isn’t your fault. It’s all because of this man and his son. Since you have already called the police, we’ll let them handle this matter.”
She then tugged at Lucian and whispered, “If the police handle it, they will probably ask them to apologize to us and offer a little compensation. That child is underage, after all! But, I just can’t let it go like that!”
“That’s right! We can’t just let them off so easily!” uttered Lucian coldly. Soon, the police showed up. They looked through the surveillance cameras and figured out the happenings.
Both the father and son were taken away by the police. Lucian and Roxanne took the children and prepared to head to the police station as well to help with the investigation. Just as Roxanne had anticipated, an incident that involved children’s bad behavior would not end up well.
However, Lucian gave Cayden a phone call when they were outside the police station. He then took Roxanne and the children back to the hotel so that they could shower and have a change of clothes. Lucian and Roxanne waited till the police called them before they went to the station.
“Mr. Farwell, Ms. Jarvis, I don’t think you will be happy with the outcome of our investigation. However, we have tried our best to exact the maximum punishment. Mr. Cross will have to pay you thirty thousand as compensation, and his son will have to apologize to you in person. At the same time, we will also inform the boy’s school and conduct further investigation.”
The police must be worried about the kind of actions that Lucian would take to trigger public opinion on the matter. As such, they had meted the maximum punishment they could on both the man and his son. Lucian quickly signed on the mediation. documents.
“Darling, I won’t let them off so easily,” assured Lucian as he looked at Roxanne. She nodded in agreement, and an idea popped up in her head.
The two of them returned to the hotel and saw that the children were playing. Estella was still talking about the baby dolphin. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about the incident where she fell into the water.
Thankfully, she was still too young to remember the incident. Therefore, it did not cause her any trauma. Roxanne immediately gave Linda a call and asked her to bring some antibiotics over.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and they could hear the overweight man’s voice outside the door. He sounded genuinely frightened. “Mr. Farwell, Ms. Jarvis, I’m Felix Cross. I have brought my son here to apologize to you…
Both Lucian and Roxanne had no intention of opening the door. Outside, Felix kept on calling out for them. He sounded more and more sincere each time, and the fear in him was increasing rapidly. Felix glared at his son before giving him one hard one on the boy’s head.
“Ouch! Dad, why are you hitting me?” The boy cried out in pain. His father had always been more ruthless than other people. He could not fathom why his father became so meek all of a sudden.
Before the boy could return to his senses, Felix yelled at him again. “Get down on your knees! Right now! Ask Mr. Farwell and Ms. Jarvis for their forgiveness.”
The child hesitated before shaking his head. “Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything wrong. The girl is fine, isn’t she?”
The boy showed no remorse at all! Felix was livid and gave his son a few slaps, after which the child began to cry loudly. Lucian frowned when the commotion outside. the door became louder.
“I can’t believe he’s still trying to gain our pity. His son shows no sign of remorse at all. I will never forgive him!” When Roxanne heard the boy’s refusal to apologize, she was so angry that her body shook.
In the end, Lucian called the front desk, and a few security guards came to take Felix and his son away.
Felix began shouting outside the hotel at the top of his voice, “Looks like Mr. Farwell and his family don’t intend to accept our apology. Regardless, we have already done as the punishment the police gave us dictated. It will be even better if he doesn’t want the compensation!”
He thought that would be the end of it. Thereafter, he told his son, “Next time, watch who you bully! Don’t offend the wealthy people. Be smarter!”
“Okay, Dad. So, are we all right now? Just now, I thought you were afraid of Mr. Farwell. By the looks of it, he isn’t that powerful, after all!” The fat boy grinned, evidently forgetting the beating that he had gotten from his father a while ago.
“Hmph! I was only putting on an act. It doesn’t matter what method you use as long as you can settle the issue! Keep that in mind.” Gone was Felix’s earlier timid look, to be replaced with a wicked smirk. Just then, a van stopped next to Felix and his son.
Before they could do anything, six men dressed in black and wearing masks jumped out from the vehicle and dragged the two of them into the van. The van sped away, and agonized screams could be heard coming from the vehicle.
A while later, the van finally arrived at an isolated area on the outskirts of the city. The moment the door opened, both Felix and his son were ordered to get out of the vehicle. Their faces were swollen and covered with bruises.
Blood was spewing out of Felix’s nose, and he began to beg, “Please spare us! We will give you whatever you want! Just tell me how much!”
As his son was still a child, the masked men did not hit him too hard. They only gave the boy a few slaps, causing his cheeks to swell badly. “Boss, this is for you! The employer told us to sprinkle this all over the boy!” said one of the men in black. There was a bag of powder in his hand..
“What’s that?” the leader of the group asked. Then again, he realized there was no need to ask too many questions. After all, they had been tasked to teach Felix and his son a lesson.
The leader of the group then walked up to the boy and poured the powder down his shirt. After that, he yelled at the boy, “Remove your pants!”
