Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 37: Rouges

"You are that vicious bitch. You look so fair and pure. I don't expect you to be so vicious! You've hurt my son so badly. I won't forgive you!" When the fat woman saw Alina coming over, she was so angry that she swore loudly. She even wanted to rush to her to beat her.

"What's wrong with you? How could you talk dirty before you figure it out?" Wendy frowned and stepped forward. She stood in front of Alina to protect her.

"Mom." Alina was a little touched by Wendy's action of protecting her, so she called her more sincerely than usual.

Peter stood out and said, "Madam, this is the Xu Family. Could you please show some respect?"

The expressionless butler looked more powerful and intimidating than Wendy. The fat woman rolled her eyes and then walked back while cursing.

Alina followed Wendy to Eric. With her head down, she called, "Dad."

Eric thought that she was startled by her words, so he comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, Alaina. Tell me what happened, and I will protect you."

A flash of surprise flashed through Alina's eyes. The father didn't care that his son might be bullied but told her he would protect her. Was he a father who preferred girls to boys?

'From now on, you are my real father!'

Noticing that Eric and Alina were whispering to each other, the fat woman protested, "What are you whispering about? Do you have any explanation about your daughter's hitting my son?"

Glancing at the fat woman, Eric patted on Alina's shoulder and asked loudly, "Alaina, did you hurt two boys?"

"Yes, Dad. But I didn't mean to do that," replied Alina.

Both the fat woman and the thin woman shouted, "She admitted hitting someone! Now the truth comes to light. Whether she did it on purpose or not, it's wrong to hurt someone. You should pay for it!"

"Pay for it!" The two men also shouted.

"Will you hear my husband out? You only know money! If it is my daughter's fault, do you think he won't pay for it?"

The thin woman pouted, "Yes, he is rich. So what? With a mother like you, no wonder she did such a thing!"

"What do you mean? Yes, I'm rich, unlike you. The clothes you wear are even worse than those of beggars who pick up our clothes!" Wendy said mean words with anger.

The thin woman looked at Wendy's clothes and felt jealous, angry and humiliated. "Your family are beggars! You just have a little money. Don't be cocky! You hurt others. You think you are rich enough to be unreasonable?"

"I am unreasonable? I..." Wendy frowned and wanted to argue again, but she was stopped by Eric.

Then, Eric continued to ask Alina, "Why did you hit them? Where did you hit them?"

Alina said, aggrieved, "I didn't mean to do that, Dad. It was them who bullied me first. They not only wanted to get my money, but also wanted me to play with them. The pimply boy threatened me with a knife and attempted to touch my face. I, I was so scared that I kicked him and swung my schoolbag to keep the other boy away. I didn't know if I hit him. I was so scared that I ran away without looking back!"

As soon as her words were finished, the whole room was quiet for a moment.

Wendy glared at those people who came to make trouble with her. "Your sons bullied my daughter. How dare you ask for an explanation from us? They deserve being beaten to death by my daughter!"

The two women did not know what to say. When they heard that their sons were injured, they tried to find out who had hurt them so that they could get some compensation. In such a hurry, they had no time to ask the reason for their sons' injury.
