Before Simona finished her apology, the woman just slapped her. Simona had never been hit by
anyone in the past before that. Her eyes widened in grievance with tears dripping in her eyes.
Dolores was stunned and dumbfounded as well. She didn’t expect that the woman would hit her
daughter. She embraced her daughter into her arms and glared at the woman, “How can you hit a
kid!?”
“She walks without using her eyes. As an adult, how did you teach her? Look at my dress, it is new and
it costs over a thousand. Are you going to compensate me for it?” The woman applied bloody red
lipstick and she put on thick foundation on her face like painting a wall. Not only that, she was gritting
her teeth when speaking which made her look like a shrew.
Simona’s voice was hoarse, “I didn't mean it, I am sorry.”
“Do you think it can just be over by saying a sorry and you didn’t mean it?” The woman behaved
arrogantly.
“How do you plan to settle this?” A man’s low and deep muffled voice was pressing on her like a big
wave.
He came to them with his cold and angry face.
He was going to come over immediately when Simona bumped into the woman. However, a car just
passed by and blocked his way which delayed his movement. Out of all their expectation, the woman
hit Simona within that little time.
The woman turned her head when she heard his voice.
Matthew was wearing an opened black coat and it revealed his inner clothing which was the pure black
handmade suit. His clothes and sleeves were fluttering and he was expressing a natural powerful aura.
The woman just shivered by her instinct and even her voice became softer and her words were not that
wild anymore, “It was, it was the little girl who bumped into me first.”
Simona repeated her words in crying tone, “I didn't mean it.”
Dolores was hugging her daughter and she didn’t even dare to touch her face. She was heartbroken to
see her daughter being hit. Even she herself didn’t bear to do so to her daughter but her daughter had
just been slapped by others on the day.
“How much is your dress?” Matthew took out his wallet from his inner pocket. Since he was having
limited cash with him now, he signed on a cheque and handed it to the woman, “One hundred
thousand, is it enough?”
He raised his eyes.
The woman swallowed her saliva unconsciously. He just said that he would give her one hundred
thousand at the beginning of his words. Was he trying to scare her?
“Is this money real? I want cash.” The woman pretended to remain calm.
He actually really didn't have that much cash with him at the moment. Thus, he took out his phone and
called Armand, “No matter what method you use, bring one hundred thousand in cash over here for
me.”
Armand who was on the other side of the phone hadn’t reacted from it. Why did he need so much cash
without a reason?
“What are you going to do with so much cash…?”
“Within ten minutes!”
Matthew hung up the call just as he finished speaking. At that moment, many people were crowding
over there and rubbernecking.
The whispered murmuring was heard endlessly.
“The dress just cost over one thousand and it wouldn’t be more than that.” Someone whispered, “My
best buddy own exactly a same dress like hers. I am so shock that she actually can be so shameless
and ask for one hundred thousand from the man.”
“Yeah, that's right. She is just a kid and she also didn't mean it. Why can’t she just forgive the little girl?”
“Hey, you all don't know about it, right? The woman just hit their child.” The two people who spoke
earlier went there later and they were not very clear about the situation. Therefore, another rubberneck
who witnessed the incident interjected the conversation and told them the truth.
“Oh My! She even hit the kid?”
“Yes, look at the little girl’s face which was red.”
“Yes, how can she bear to hit such a beautiful girl?”
The woman was guilty and she felt that it was not a good idea to provoke the man as he was having
the strong aura which must not be owned by an ordinary.
“Since it was dirtied, just let it be. I will let it go and it is over.”
Matthew didn't even raise his eyelids, “Do you think it can just be over by the words from you?”
The woman was a bit panicked. However, she still pretended to be calm. “Since I am not going to hold
her accountable for it, so how, you still don’t want to get it over?”
“What happened? What was going on?” At that moment, Armand was holding a bag and Samuel. They
squeezed over the packed crowd under the protection of two bodyguards. Then, they walked towards
Matthew, “What are you going to do with the cash?”
Armand felt that he himself was really smart.
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.
Matthew 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!” Matthew’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.” Matthew 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 Matthew 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 Matthew
and his aura and his look was just like the mini Matthew.
At that moment, Matthew 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.”
