Female Novel
Chapter 110
As soon as Thomas reached the doorstep of the rental house, he could hear murmurs of complaintcoming from inside the room.
He opened the door and walked in.
Seated on the couch in the living room were Chloe, Adam, and Lilac, who showed a cold expression.
Thomas glanced at everyone. It seemed that Chloe had asked him to come back to inquire aboutFanny. He hadn’t actually harmed Fanny, but he couldn’t avoid the punishment either. After all, thatslap of his had knocked out most of her teeth.
He sneered but didn’t say anything. He turned around and walked straight into the kitchen. He couldn’tlet others interrupt him from preparing Olivia’s medication. Judging from Lilac’s menacing demeanor,she had come to seek retribution. The complaints he overheard at the door just now were undoubtedlyher words.
“Lilac, calm down for now. I’ll go and ask Thomas what exactly happened. Please rest assured. Ipromise to give you a satisfactory explanation,” Chloe comforted her classmate and got up to walktoward the kitchen.
“Thomas, did… did you hit Fanny?”
Chloe was also puzzled. Even if Fanny was impolite, he didn’t have to hit her. Besides, hadn’t thingsalready passed? They wouldn’t have any chance to meet again. How did these two end up crossingpaths again? According to Lilac, Fanny was still lying in the hospital, with only a few teeth left in hermouth. It was too miserable, wasn’t it?
“She asked for it herself. I’m not the one to be blamed.” Thomas shrugged his shoulders. He had hither, but so what? If Fanny dared to come and cause trouble for him again next time, he would definitely
hit her again! Moreover, he would kill her!
As for Lilac, she could say whatever she wanted to. Her sister was the one he hit. If she wantedrevenge, she could come at him. As long as it didn’t involve Chloe, anything else was negotiable.
“Thomas, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?” After hearing Thomas’ words, Chloe probably hada clue in her mind. It must be that Fanny had provoked him again.
He didn’t hide anything and narrated the whole incident truthfully.
Chloe shook her head helplessly. Indeed, she couldn’t blame Thomas for this. Did Fanny think shecould bully Thomas just because her boyfriend was rich and powerful? Wasn’t that an abuse of power?Whom could she blame? It was her own fault for trying to pick on someone and ending up gettingtaught a lesson!
Chloe felt a bit angry as well. If it weren’t for Thomas’ skills, he might be lying in the hospital right now!She wanted to confront Lilac about what Fanny had done. Was Fanny trying to bully them? However,Lilac came early in the morning, cursing and accusing her after Fanny suffered losses. Lilac insistedthat Thomas harbored a grudge against Fanny and retaliated on his own. Wasn’t she simply framingThomas?
I can tolerate you shouting at me, but if you wrongly accuse Thomas, I won’t accept it!
“Lilac, I’ve asked him. The situation is completely different from what you said.” Chloe returned to theliving room and sat next to Lilac while explaining the whole story.
“Chloe, what are you trying to say? Do you mean that my sister brought this upon herself? Did shedeserve to be beaten?” Even if Lilac looked down on Fanny, Fanny was still her biological sister! Theywere family, connected by blood and bones! If someone bullied Fanny, Lilac felt obliged to stand up forher.
You’re completely absolving yourself of any responsibility and blaming everything on my sister. Even ifwe have a good relationship and are former classmates, you shouldn’t be so unreasonable!
Chloe saw that her former classmate’s expression changed and quickly shook her head to explain.“You’ve misunderstood the situation. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask Fanny if it was herwho had her boyfriend come and pick a fight with Thomas. If it weren’t for Thomas’ ability to fight, theone lying in the hospital right now wouldn’t be your sister, but my brother!”
“Hmph! Spare me the nonsense. Just tell me how you plan to handle this matter!”
“Well, how about we just let it go?” Chloe said indifferently.
“Fine! Chloe, you’re something!” Lilac stood up abruptly. My biological sister was beaten by Thomas,and you want me to let it go? How can you even say that with a clear conscience?
Did you forget who stood up for you when you were looked down upon at school? What? Do you thinkyou’re so great after you move out of a shanty town and find yourself a guy who can fight?
“Chloe, since you put it that way, we have nothing more to talk about. From now on, let’s cut off all tiesbetween us and pretend we don’t know each other!”
Bang!novelbin
Lilac stormed out of the room and slammed the door forcefully. Then, she got into her car and droveaway.
She was furious. Chloe, you’re being completely unreasonable. No matter what, it’s wrong for Thomasto physically attack someone. Even if my sister started the confrontation, did Thomas have to beat herup so badly? Fanny is still lying in the hospital and unable to eat. How can you just say something like‘let it go’? I really misjudged you!
Chloe stood by the window as she watched the car slowly leave below. She felt a sense ofdisappointment.
Without even seeing Fanny, she knew that Fanny must have been severely beaten. She knew Thomas’temperament very well. Whether it was in their previous run-down rental house or at the Twilight Bar,she had witnessed Thomas’ ruthlessness firsthand. Maybe… Thomas did go a bit too far?
After a while, Chloe returned to the couch and sat down while sulking in silence.
Adam looked at his daughter. He had overheard the conversation between Lilac and his daughter justnow, but he couldn’t believe that Thomas would actually lay hands on a woman.
Thomas seemed to be a gentle person. How could he resort to violence, especially against a woman?
“Chloe, what’s going on?”
She explained the situation.
“Hmph. That kind of woman deserves to be beaten! Her sister is so arrogant, and I bet she’s not areasonable person either. She often talks about how close she is to you, but when our family was in themost difficult times, she never showed up. I’m not saying that we should expect her to do something forus, but think about the things Thomas did for us. He genuinely helped us, and he’s completely differentfrom that girl!”
Although Adam had only met Thomas a few times, he appreciated Thomas for providing them withmoney and taking care of them.
True friends were evident in times of need. Only in adversity could one recognize true friendship!
Chloe could only nod and silently plan to find an opportunity to visit Fanny at the hospital. After all,Fanny was the younger sister of her classmate. It was normal for Lilac to be angry considering the
severity of the injuries Fanny had suffered.
