"Peggy Li, right?" Scar stared at Peggy without emotion.
"Yes." Peggy looked down as she answered, not daring to hold the man's gaze. She searched her brain, but couldn't think of any reason why a group of fierce-looking men where looking for her. "Sorry but, what are you doing here?"
"The person that we are looking for is you," Scar said with his eyes still on Peggy. With that, he didn't say another word but pushed Peggy aside and entered the house.
"What's going on here?" Doris looked to Allen for an answer. "Allen, tell me, what exactly is happening here? Is it because of you? Did you go out and gamble again? Do you owe people money and these people are looking for you?"
"No, no. I quit gambling a long time ago," Allen denied shaking his head. "You said that you didn't like me gambling. I did as you said. I haven't dared step inside the casino since. I have been with you. How would I even get a chance to gamble if I'm with you?"
"Then what is happening now?" Doris asked as she pointed her finger at the tall and strong men that forced their way in. "Tell me, why did all these people come here then?"
"I..." Allen stammered, fumbling for words. But he didn't know how to explain the situation. "I really have no idea. I don't know these people. I don't know why they are here."
Allen became angry and offended. This was his property. It was his home. How dare these people just barge into his house without his consent? He stepped in front of Scar and challenged him, "Who the hell are you? And what the hell are you doing here? Do you think this is a place where you can come and go at your own will? Get your ass out of here or else I will kick you all out. Don't you see that we are eating. You have ruined my family's meal, you asshole!"
"You little shit, shut the fuck up!" A rough looking guy standing next to Scar cursed him, as he shoved Allen back. He looked so ruthless as if he wouldn't hesitate to kill Allen right on the spot.
"Allen, shut up!" Peggy yelled at Allen. She could see that this group of people were not to be reckoned with. All of them were covered in fierce tattoos and looked intimidating. They weren't just anyone from the street. You could tell that they were used to harassing people.
If Allen continued this kind of attitude toward them, they would surely lose their patience and became violent. The best thing to do was to cooperate with them.
"I see, you were about to eat." S
do everything to chase after people for money, he almost wanted to cry. "You told me that there was absolutely no problem with that. Look at the situation now. Is that what you called, no problem?"
"Are you two done with your bickering?" Scar interrupted the two impatiently. "If you two are settled, can you now listen to me?"
Peggy and Allen didn't respond, but stared at each other confused.
"What's going on? Why do you have this note?" Peggy hurried to ask, as she was so curious to know more details.
"Note? That is 500, 000!" Scar began laughing, as if he were really holding 500, 000. "Tell me. When do you plan to pay me back?"
"What? What do you mean by that?" Peggy pretended that she didn't understand, hoping to escape from the fate of paying the money.
"Hey Aunt, I have come for the money," Scar answered her question in annoyance. "Before I get really impatient, give me the money back. Otherwise, I will have to use violence. Don't blame me for resorting to that."
"I really have no idea of what you are talking about," Peggy continued. "I did borrow some money, but it was Sheryl who lent us the money and it was to Sheryl I wrote the note for. I don't get why the note is in your hands. If I need to pay, I will pay Sheryl, not you. Why are you asking me for money?"
Peggy sneered and then continued, "Though we are humble, that doesn't mean we can be easily fooled and bullied. We have not done anything wrong or against the law. If you continue to stay in this property without the permission of the owner and even make your absurd request, I will have no choice but to call the police now."
