"That won't be necessary because our driver is waiting for us with our car just over there," Raymond replied and pointed at a black Mercedes Benz car parked across the street.
"I am relieved to hear that," Joanna's mind finally relaxed after hearing that the car for their journey was set.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ray and Brother Rick. I had tons of fun playing with you today," Anthony said and waved at them.
"We had fun too Tony. I can assure you and your sister that we will meet again sooner than you both think so here is my advice…," Derrick trailed and squatted in front of Anthony.
"Don't miss us too much," He mumbled loud enough for Joanna to hear him.
"Meeting him once is enough. I am afraid my innocent little brother is gonna get spoiled by you if he hangs out with you too often," Joanna jokingly said and pretended like she was going to pull Anthony away from him.
"I will take that as a compliment," Derrick replied beaming. He pats Anthony's hair and stands up afterwards.
"Goodbye. Get back safely. And please call me if anything happens. As long as it's your call I will pick it up unfailingly," Raymond said seriously.
"Sure, I will. Take care," replied Joanna as she waved at them. She watched them cross the road and walk to where the black car was parked.
The black car drove off less than a minute after they entered it.
"Big Sis, Brother Ray seems to like you a lot just like Brother Amos. Who are you going to choose between the two of them?" Anthony quizzed after their car was no longer in sight.
"What do you know about liking someone huh?" Joanna asked.
"Just like Brother Amos, he keeps looking at you even when you are not looking at him. And he treats you well too," Anthony responded meekly. He was bold while giving his answer even though Joanna frowned at him.
"You are getting…," The clanking of heels made Joanna pause her words and turn her head to look at the direction the heels came from.
"It's the mean girls!" Anthony exclaimed and jumped to stand in front of Joanna with his hands crossed.
"What are you ladies doing here?" Joanna asked, gazing at the girls who were glamorously dressed in short dresses and expensive jewels as usual.
"Did she just ask what we are doing here?" Sophie scoffed and turned to look at her friends by her sides.
"Shouldn't that question be directed at you?" Doris asked.
"What is a beggar who lives on charity doing in a popular place like this? Will your charity money be enough to purchase even the cheapest outfit here?" Sophie mocked.
The three of them burst out laughing following her words of ridicule.
"Don't insult my Big Sis, mean devils," Anthony growled.
Joanna tried to push him aside but the fearless boy refused to move an inch.
"Is this not the little brat that useless stepsister of yours tried to teach a lesson but ended up injuring my beloved Ray in the process?" Sophie demanded.
She stretched her hand to hold Anthony but Joanna beat her hand away.
"Like I said you can mess with me anyhow you want, I will tolerate it but dare as much as touch the ones dear to me and I will show what people mean by experiencing hell on Earth," Joanna stated fiercely.
"Did she say something?" Doris scoffed and glared at Joanna.
"Be grateful we didn't come here for a fight because without your two bodyguards by your side, today would have marked the end of your existence…,"
"I won't let you hurt my Big Sis," Anthony howled with his fists clenched and ready for a fight.
"Look at you transforming at the twinkle of an eye. If only your useless step-sister was 1/3 as good as you then she wouldn't be the entire Kingdom's punching bag," Sophie kept on making a joke of her.
"You…,"
"That is enough, little rice ball. Listen to me and step aside," Joanna cautioned and tried to push him aside again but he refused to move away.
"If you are here to make jest of me then sorry to disappoint you because I have not even a minute of my time to spare three of you…,"
"How does it feel to get abandoned on a date by the two men you rely heavily on? It must hurt badly down here right?" Nora said, gripping her chest.
"From birth, you were cursed to die alone, no wonder your mother died two years after giving birth to you. As if that wasn't enough you were rejected by everyone including your mate…,"
"Who says Brother Kayden abandoned my Big Sis?" Anthony challenged.
"You mean ladies…,"
"Anthony Anderson," Joanna called out to him like she often does when furious. "I will spank you hard if you don't stop talking," She warned him for the last time.
She raised her head to look at the three ladies after keeping her little brother under control.
The last thing she wants is for the girls to lose their temper and hurt him.
She can grit her teeth and receive their beatings but will definitely go mad if anyone dares as much as to lay a finger on her little brother in front of her.
"If I was cursed to die alone as you said at least before that happens I would have experienced the feeling of being loved and pampered by two men but what about you ladies?" Joanna hissed. Her eyes darted from one angry face to the other.
"Since your entire years of existence have you experienced this kind of feeling?" She grinned seeing their faces turn red in anger.
"Ooh… and what is the guarantee you will ever get to experience this type of feeling in this lifetime?" She asked with her shoulders held high.
To make it worse Anthony had to giggle at that moment.
