Chapter 822



Nora stood in the crowd and watched Cherry silently.

She wasn’t anxious because Cherry was so calm. She must have had a plan.

Otherwise Pete and Xander would have run out of the house a long time ago. They both had a sister complex. Why did they keep watching as if it was a show?

He looked inside coolly.

Mrs. Long’s words were clearly more believable. After all, there was no need for an old woman to address a child. Besides, they had just moved in, so there was no prior conflict.

Therefore, they all looked at Cherry and advised her, “Little girl, you should apologize! Stop being stubborn.”

Of course, there were also people who trusted Cherry, but Mrs. Long was very domineering. Especially since her son worked at NTT, she became even more domineering. They could not offend her, so they advised her, “Little girl, stop being stubborn. Apologize.”

Cherry pursed her lips. “You’re the one who gave it to me!”

She took another bite of the scallion cake and chewed.

Mrs. Long looked at the others and sighed heavily. “See, she’s so young but she still won’t admit her mistakes! Can such a child living here be tolerated? I won’t call the police, but I suggest we make them leave. I don’t want to be neighbors with people like that.”

Cherry blinked. “Bad Grandma, call the police.You’re the one who gave me this cake! I didn’t steal it!”

When the person next to her saw that she kept saying that, she immediately said, “Girl, stop talking. Where’s your mother, call her quickly! You said Mrs. Long gave it to you. Do you have proof? If you don’t, Mrs. Long won’t leave you alone. You…”

She blinked and took another bite of the scallion cake. Her other hand reached into her pocket, looking like she was going to pull out her phone.

Nora’s eyes curved slightly.

Little know-it-all.

She knew Cherry would definitely not lose. Mrs. Long had scolded them yesterday and she definitely had bad intentions to come over and give her a scallion pie today. Although Cherry was more direct and not as insightful as Pete and Xander, she wasn’t stupid enough to fall for someone like that.

She definitely had proof!

As Nora was thinking about this, she saw Cherry pull out her phone and say, “I have…”

Cherry was about to say she had proof when suddenly a faint voice was heard.

“I… I can prove it…”

Everyone turned and saw a slender girl in her early twenties slowly raising her hand.

Nora, who was about to move forward, stopped dead in her tracks.

The girl was very thin and short. She looked very weak and had a shy expression.

Although she looked a little like Mia, Mia was the spoiled daughter of the Smiths. She looked small and weak, her figure was so slender that the others couldn’t help but protect her.

However, this girl looked like the kind of person who went out to work because of poor family conditions…..

This was the first impression she made on Nora.

Of course, Nora knew who this girl was. Cindy had already given her information about everyone who lived here. She had made sure there was no danger before she dared to let the three children stay there.

The girl’s name was Rene. She was an orphan and had been adopted by a couple in Switzerland. However, her adoptive parents had not treated her well. They had beaten and scolded her since she was a little girl. She only escaped from that home when she was older and currently lives here with her boyfriend.

They were poor, but they were stubborn and had worked hard. Cindy took pity on their situation and had reduced their rent. The house they rented was the smallest and in the worst condition.

Rene also spoke softly. He conveyed the trauma of having endured domestic violence. When he spoke, he dared not look at anyone. His long hair covered a third of his face. “I can prove that just now, when Mrs. Long…gave the little girl a scallion pancake. I… I was there… I saw it…” Rene had a sorry past that everyone knew about. They all believed his words.

Therefore, they immediately turned to look at Mrs. Long.

“Mrs. Long, what’s going on?”

“Yes! How can you bully a little girl?”

“You are too mean! We are all Americans. We’re from the same country. How can you bully one of our own?”

At that moment, Mrs. Long knew she had been found out. She immediately said in disgust, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just teasing her, what’s wrong? I was just teasing her. All right, scatter! What are you looking at?”

Mrs. Long put her hands on her hips. “My son works at NTT. You think I won’t ask him to defend me?”

With that, half the surrounding crowd instantly dispersed.

NTT was now so popular in Switzerland that everyone had pieces of it in their lives. No one wanted to offend NTT executives.

When most of the people had left, Mrs. Long looked at René and said fiercely, “René, you’re a real busybody. Why, are you here to prove you’re awesome? You think you’re an envoy of justice? I think you should worry about yourself before you try to pick on others.”

With that, she scoffed. “Your boyfriend looks like he works at NTT too!”

She was immediately startled. “Mrs. Long, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean, heh, your boyfriend is just a worker at NTT but my son is a senior executive. You dared to mess with me because of a girl. Well, I’m going to see if your boyfriend can stay at NTT! Let’s see.”

After saying this, Mrs. Long glared fiercely at Rene and turned to enter her house. However, she suddenly saw Nora standing behind her and was startled.

However, Mrs. Long quickly recovered and smiled sarcastically. “Listen, Miss Smith, I think you should move in with your three children! Otherwise, if my son finds out I’ve been bullied today, I don’t know what he’ll do! Besides, if Rene’s boyfriend loses his job, they’ll be homeless. So, it’ll all be his fault!”

With that, she raised her head arrogantly and entered his house without mercy.

She slammed the door shut.

Rene’s body trembled with fear as the door closed. Then, her eyes turned red as her whole body trembled. She must have been scared.

Would her boyfriend really lose his job?
