"Even brothers keep careful accounts, not to mention relatives who are so far away," Hazel said coldly. Since her uncle and his family were making her so unhappy on Christmas Day, she was going to let them know the consequences.
"Big brother, dear sister-in-law, look at her, you have her so spoiled!" Emma looked angrily at Rachel.
"I don't think Hazel is wrong." Rachel smiled. Hazel only said what she and Harry wanted to say, why should they deny it?
"Don't talk about it!" Harry said seriously, "Hazel, you didn't say anything wrong, but you need to let your parents take care of it. Matt, I did not want to remind you on Christmas Day. But you need to return the money to us as soon as possible."
Matt's face became even more horrified. Hazel held back her smile, bowed her head, and pretended to play with her cell phone.
Matt let out a hollow laugh and quickly shifted the subject, "Oh yes, I almost forgot. Where is Ronald?"
Ronald Crowe was Hazel's older brother, the son of Harry and Rachel. Hazel couldn't help sigh; her uncle had almost made it clear that they didn't want to pay back the money.
Harry knew what Matt was thinking, but he didn't press on that.
Scott suddenly got up from the couch and walked toward Hazel's bedroom.
Hazel ran to stop him before he opened the door. She nervously asked, "What are you doing?"
"Open the door now, I want to play on the computer." Scott issued an order in an impatient tone.
"No." Hazel raised her eyebrows in disgust and refused without hesitation.
Joshua was still inside her room, and not to mention, she really hated Scott.
"Mom, she is tormenting me!" Scott shouted at Emma.
"Hey, just a computer? Just let him play it already, ok? " Emma said, "He is only a child. Why are you giving him such a hard time?"
"I see no harm if you just let him play on your computer, right?" Matt also said.
"Get out of my way! Let me tell you one thing, if you were at our house, you wouldn't even have the right to eat at the table. How dare you to stop me!" Scott said proudly. Suddenly, he spat on Hazel.
Hazel was furious. She really did not expect this family could be so disrespectful. Scott was 16 years old, not a child at all, but he was even worse than a cranky toddler, and he just crossed the line.
Scott was pushing Hazel to the edge, she suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted it.
"Ah!" Scott screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"It seems that I need to let you know that this is my home, not yours!" Hazel said angrily.
She applied more pressure and said, "Your a.s.s will be kicked sooner or later if you continue behaving like this. Do you think everyone in the world is your parent? Let me teach you some manners that your parents had refused to teach you!"
"Dad, mom, help!" Scott cried aloud.
"What are you doing?" Matt and Emma stood up in a hurry.
Harry and Rachel looked at them coldly, and they stopped in front of Matt and Emma without hesitation, "Children are playing. We a.d.u.l.ts should not interfere."
They didn't want to go too hard on Matt and his wife, but they didn't want to watch their daughter being bullied either. In fact, they were amused to see Hazel beating Scott.
"Our Scott is still a child!" Emma hurriedly said.
"Our Hazel is just a few years older, also a child." Rachel said with a smile.
"We are guests at your home. Are you entertaining guests like this?" Matt said angrily.
"The guests who come seeking trouble should enjoy the trouble." Harry fought back.
Matt and his family were left speechless.
"Scott, let's go!" Matt said angrily, "We are here to express our kindness and greeting as relatives, and you treat us like this!"
Seeing that they were really going to leave, Hazel sneered and let go of Scott. He rushed to hide behind Matt, Emma ran to hold him in her arms.
Matt angrily picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and was about to throw it when Hazel said coldly, "The ashtray is worth three hundred dollars. I will call the police immediately if you break it. Oh, yes, my mom is a policewoman."
Seeing Rachel's serious appearance, Matt snorted and slammed the ashtray back onto the coffee table.
"Useless thing! You only know how to watch what is happening!" Matt slapped on Fanny's face!
Fanny had to cover her cheeks with pain but bowed her head and followed her parents.
When the family left, Rachel couldn't help but shout, "This family is amazing! Why in God's name should we have relatives like them?"
"Yeah," Harry said, "Fortunately, Hazel didn't get hurt. Or else they would've seen what justice is!"
"We should cut ties with them!" Rachel looked furious, "It's a pity that we cannot get the money back from them."
Hazel frowned, "Forget it, they didn't plan to return it at all."
"Let's say this is a lesson," Harry said helplessly.
"Hazel, what's wrong with your neck?" Rachel asked in surprise.
"What?" Hazel looked back at the mirror, and her face turned pale. F.u.c.k Joshua! How was she going to explain it?
She said nervously, "I might've bumped into something accidentally. It will fade away in a while."
Rachel looked suspicious but decided not to pursue the conversation further.
"Hazel, go change your clothes. We are going out to visit some other relatives." Harry said.
"Alright." Hazel escaped back to her bedroom.
She quickly opened the door and slammed it shut behind her. She saw Joshua pacing back and forth her room, his face was filled with anger.
"I almost rushed out," Joshua said faintly. When he heard the drama coming from the living room, it took all his strength not to rush out and protect Hazel.
"Fortunately, you didn't come out." Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she said angrily, "No, don't try to divert the topic! What is this on my neck?"
She pointed at the hickey on her neck and asked with shame.
"That is a hickey." Joshua smiled lightly.
His brazenness really defeated Hazel. She pulled open his shirt and bit hard on his shoulder!
