Since none a bank was in the service area, there was only a place for him to get a large sum of money which was the gas station.
It was just right that there was cash at the gas station. By using online banking, he got one hundred thousand of cash from the gas station.
Cormac lifted his jaw and said, “Give it to her.”
Armand turned around and looked at the woman. His gaze swept across the oily stain on her and the instant noodle on the ground. Then, he seemed to understand something. However, he didn’t think that the woman’s dress cost one hundred thousand.
“How much did you pay for your dress?”
There was someone among the rubbernecks answered his question before the woman said a word. “The dress just cost over one thousand. My best buddy had a dress that was totally same as hers.” “Your dress just cost one thousand but you are asking for one hundred thousand…”
“Give it to her!” Cormac’s deep voice interrupted Armand’s sentence and there was endless darkness in his deep eyes.
Armand mentioned of his unstable state and he handed the money to the woman immediately.
The woman dared not to take it, “I, I…”
The woman had said many ‘I’ and didn’t spit out another word other than that.
“My daughter had dirtied your dress. As a father, I have to be responsible for it and I suppose to compensate you.” Cormac took the money from Armand and threw it to her front. “Now, let’s settle the matter that you hit my daughter. What do you think?”
“What?”
“What!”
The earlier voice came from Armand and the later voice came from Samuel.
Simona was hit?
His sister was hit?
Samuel was trembling as he was too angry to hear it. She actually dared to hit his sister?
“I, I didn’t mean it.” The woman was shivering in fear.
“Do you think that it can be over by just a sentence of ‘I didn’t mean it’?” Armand asked her back angrily before Cormac started to speak.
“I don’t want your money and you don’t have to compensate me for my dress…”
“Your dress was dirtied so we suppose to give you money but you hit my sister. You must give us an account for it. Since my sister was born, I didn’t bear to hurt even one of her hair although I angered to death by her. She was the treasure who was pampered and spoiled by my mum since she was born. But today, you actually hit her? If you can’t give us a satisfied account, we won’t just get it over so easily! My dad had said that even though we are wealthy and powerful, we can’t and won’t use our power to bully others. However, we must not be bullied by others!”
Samuel who was in a young age was having clear logical language. He stood by the side of Cormac and his aura and his look was just like the mini Cormac.
At that moment, Cormac just lowered his eyes and looked at him. His mind was still recalling the word ‘dad’ from his son.
Although Samuel had admitted his identity, he never took initiative to call him ‘dad’.
His heart was hurt for a while when he heard of the word ‘dad’.
“I even didn’t ask for compensation, what do you want? Why are you all, so many of you coming to bully me who is just a little woman?” The woman swallowed her saliva and stepped back as she was worried that they would hit her.
She was so regretful at the particular moment.
Why was she so impulsive?
However, she was just really very angry at the time. She just bought a new dress and wanted to go home to celebrate Chinese New Year happily but it was dirtied. Thus, she was really very angry of it.
“No one wants to bully you. It’s you who is an adult and hit a kid first!” Samuel refuted and he would never let her twist the truth and said that they were the one who had done things wrongly.
“That’s right. There are so many people here and there must be someone who witnessed the happening of the incident, right?” Samuel was asking the people around.
“I witnessed it!” A woman walked out from the crowd. “I witnessed it. Just as I came out from the washroom, I saw that the little girl was running and then she accidentally bumped into the woman. But the little girl had apologized to her instantly. She said sorry but the woman just slapped her.”
“An adult hit a kid, she was so uneducated.”0000
There were more and more voices around, all accusing the woman.
Whatever the reason was, it was wrong for adults to hit children.
The woman’s face and neck flushed. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole and hide herself. It was so humiliating. She turned around and wanted to leave. But Armand stopped her.
He looked serious, “Do you want to leave after beating people?”
“I said I didn’t need compensation anymore, what else do you want from me?” The woman yelled. She was very angry that people around her were laughing at her.
“We will compensate you since we made your clothes dirty and you have beaten somebody, you’ll have to pay for it!” Armand raised his chin.
The woman’s heart was beating fast. She was flustered. She didn’t expect things to get to this point, she had no choice but to call her husband to solve the situation for her. “I, let me make a call.” The woman quickly took out her phone from her pocket and called her husband.
Soon after the phone was connected, before she could open her mouth, there came an impatient male voice, “Did you fall into the pit? Why aren’t you back yet?”
“I, I’m on the way back from the bathroom.” The woman stammered.
Her husband became even more impatient, “Then why haven’t you come back yet?”
The woman shrunk her shoulders, “Somebody has stopped me and won’t let me go.”
“What?” The man on the other end of the phone was so angry. He thought someone was teasing his wife. He angrily opened the car door and got off. He came to the bathroom, “Who, who is blocking my wife’s way?”
“Darling.” The woman was scared, when she saw her husband, she felt like she would be saved.
The man walked towards them, strangling his neck, “Who is teasing my wife?”
“When your wife looks like this, who’s going to tease her?” Somebody in the crowd said.
The man immediately got angry. His wife was being criticized as ugly. He felt ashamed.
“Who said that? Come out if you dare!” The man pointed at the people in the crowd.
“Don’t get angry, sir. What this man said was not about your wife’s ugly appearance, but her heart, he meant your wife’s heart is ugly.”
Said a woman standing in front of the crowd.
It’s better not to explain because when she explained, it seemed even worse. Because when the face was said to be ugly it’s just the appearance, but when the heart was called ugly, it meant that this person has no morality, no manners or is cruel. No matter what it was, it’s not a good word.
The man immediately became angry, he pointed at the woman who was talking, “Say it again?”
The woman who just spoke said, “It’s true that your wife has no manners.”
The man raised his hand to beat the woman who was talking. His wife grabbed his hand in time and whispered, “Don’t cause trouble here.”
