Chapter 285: Chapter 285

Before Simona could finish her apology, the woman slapped her. Simona had never been slapped by anyone before that. Her eyes widened in complaint, tears dripping into her eyes.

Dolores was also stunned and dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected the woman to hit her daughter. She hugged her daughter in her arms and looked up at the woman, “How can you hit a child?”

“She walks without using her eyes. As an adult, how did you teach her? Look at my dress, it’s new and cost over a thousand, are you going to compensate me for it?” The woman painted her lips blood red and put thick foundation on her face as if painting a wall. Not only that, but she gritted her teeth when she spoke, which made her sound like a harpy.

Simona’s voice was husky, “I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry.”

“Do you think you can end up saying you’re sorry and that you didn’t mean it?” The woman behaved arrogantly.

“How do you plan to fix this?” a man’s low, deep voice pressed against her like a great wave.

He approached them with his cold, angry face.

He was going to approach immediately when Simona collided with the woman. However, a car had just passed and blocked her way, slowing her movement. Out of all expectation, the woman slapped Simona in that short time.

The woman turned her head at the sound of her voice.

Matthew wore an open black coat and revealed his underwear which was the pure black handmade suit. His clothes and sleeves were fluttering and expressed a natural powerful aura.

The woman was only shaken by her instinct and even her voice became softer and her words were no longer so wild, “It was, it was the girl who bumped into me first.”

Simona repeated her words in a crying tone, “I didn’t mean to.”

Dolores hugged her daughter and did not even dare to touch her face. It broke her heart to see her daughter being beaten. Even she herself couldn’t bear to do it to her daughter, but her daughter had just been slapped by others on that day.

“How much is your dress?” Matthew pulled his wallet out of his inside pocket. Since he was now carrying little cash, he wrote a check and handed it to the woman, “One hundred thousand, is that enough?” He raised his eyes.

The woman unconsciously swallowed saliva. At the beginning of his words he said he would give her a hundred thousand. Was he trying to scare her?

“Is this money real? I want cash.” The woman pretended to remain calm.

In reality, he didn’t have that much cash with him at the moment. So she took out her phone and called Armand, “No matter what method you use, bring a hundred thousand in cash for me.”

Armand, who was on the other end of the phone, didn’t react. Why did he need so much cash without a reason?

“What are you going to do with so much cash…?”

“In ten minutes!”

Matthew hung up the call just as he finished speaking. At that moment, many people were crowding there and rubbing themselves together.

Murmurs could be heard incessantly.

“The dress just cost over a thousand and it wouldn’t be more than that.” Someone whispered, “My best friend has a dress exactly like hers. I’m so surprised she could be so shameless and ask the man for a hundred thousand.”

“Yes, that’s right. She’s just a child and she didn’t do it on purpose either, why can’t she forgive the child?”

“Hey, doesn’t everyone know, right? The woman just hit her daughter.” The two people who spoke earlier were later and were not very clear about the situation. Therefore, another gomero who witnessed the incident intervened in the conversation and told them the truth.

“Oh my gosh, he even hit the little girl?”

“Yes, look at the little girl’s face that was red.”

“Yes, how can he hit such a beautiful little girl?”

The woman felt guilty and thought it was not a good idea to provoke the man, as he had a strong aura that an ordinary man should not possess.

“Since he has soiled himself, let him stay that way. I’ll let it go and that’s that.”

Matthew didn’t even lift his eyelids, “You think it will be over with just your words?”

The woman was a little scared. However, she was still pretending to be calm. “Since I’m not going to hold her accountable for it, then how, you still don’t want it to end?”

“What happened, what happened?” At that moment, Armand was holding a bag and Samuel. They slipped through the crowd under the protection of two bodyguards. Then, they turned to Matthew, “What are you going to do with the money?”

Armand felt very smart.

Since there was no bank in the service area, he had only one place left to get a large sum of money which was the gas station.

It was only fair that there was cash at the gas station. Using online banking, he got a hundred thousand dollars in cash from the gas station.

Matthew picked up his jaw and said, “Give it to him.”

Armand turned and looked at the woman. His gaze roamed over her oily stain and the instant noodles on the floor. Then, he thought he understood something. However, he didn’t think the woman’s dress cost a hundred thousand.

“How much did you pay for the dress?”

Someone among the gomers answered her question before the woman said a word. “The dress just cost over a thousand. My best friend had a dress totally the same as yours.”

“The dress just cost a thousand, but you’re asking for a hundred thousand…”

“Give it to her!” Matthew’s deep voice interrupted Armand’s sentence and there was infinite darkness in his deep eyes.

Armand mentioned his unstable state and handed the money to the woman immediately.

The woman did not dare to take it, “I, I…”.

The woman had said many “I” and said no other word but that one.

“My daughter has soiled her dress. As a father, I must take responsibility for it and I suppose I will make it up to you.” Matthew took the money from Armand and threw it in front of him. “Now, let’s settle the matter of you hitting my daughter, how about it?”

“What?”

“What!”

The earlier voice came from Armand and the later one from Samuel.

Was Simona beaten?

Was his sister beaten?

Samuel was trembling, as he was too angry to hear it. Did he really dare to hit his sister?

“I, I didn’t mean to.” The woman was trembling with fear.

“Do you think you can get it over with a simple ‘I didn’t mean to’ sentence?” asked Armand angrily before Matthew began to speak.

“I don’t want your money and you don’t have to compensate me for my dress…”

“Your dress got dirty, so we’re supposed to give you money, but you hit my sister. You must realize that. Ever since my sister was born, I couldn’t bear to hurt a single one of her hair, even if I was angry to death about her. She was the treasure that was pampered and spoiled by my mother since she was born. But today, did you really beat her? If you can’t give us a satisfied account, we won’t get over it so easily! My father had said that even if we are rich and powerful, we cannot and should not use our power to bully others. However, we must not allow ourselves to be intimidated by others!”

Samuel, who was very young, had a logical and clear language. He stood next to Matthew and his aura and gaze matched that of the mini Matthew.

At that moment, Matthew just lowered his eyes and looked at him. His mind kept remembering the word “daddy” from his son.

Although Samuel had admitted his identity, he never took the initiative to call him ‘daddy’.

Her heart was sensitized for a moment when she heard the word ‘dad’.

“I didn’t even ask for compensation, what do you want, why do you all come, so many, to bully me who am just a woman?” The woman swallowed saliva and took a step back because she was worried about being beaten.

She was very remorseful at that moment.

Why was she so impulsive?

However, she was very angry at the time. She had just bought a new dress and wanted to go home to celebrate Chinese New Year with joy, but she had soiled it. Therefore, she was very angry about it.

“No one wants to bully you. It is you who is an adult and I hit a girl first.” Samuel refuted and did not let her twist the truth and said that they were the ones who had done things wrong.

“That’s right. there are a lot of people here and there has to be someone who witnessed the incident happening, right?” asked Samuel to the people around.

“I witnessed it!” A woman stepped out of the crowd. “I witnessed it. Just as I came out of the washroom, I saw the girl run and then accidentally collided with the woman. But the girl instantly apologized to her. She said she was sorry, but the woman slapped her.”

“An adult hit a little girl, she was so uneducated.”
