“Bitch, I’m not returning it.” The seven- orei -year–old boy was vulgar and ill- mannered.

Valerie could not be bothered to argue with Jim. She took the toy back and stuffed it back into Aiden’s hand.

Now, it was Jim’s turn to be unhappy. He lay down on the ground. However, there were still parts scattered on the ground so it was painful. Jim’s cries attracted Marcus, who was drinking.

“My darling, why are you crying on the ground? Who bullied you?” Marcus asked.

Ashley was also anxious. She quickly wanted to snatch the toy from Aiden. “You fool, isn’t it just a toy? What’s wrong with giving it to your cousin to play with? Why did I raise such a petty person like you? Valerie, you’re too much. I’ve already said it’s between children. Why do you care?”

Everyone was looking over by now.

Naturally, Marcus also knew what had happened. His face immediately darkened as he spat on the ground. “Valerie, how old are you? How can you bully my son?”

After learning that Valerie was involved, Ruth’s face darkened. “Valerie, apologize to Jim and Marcus.”

It wasn’t easy for Ruth to curry favor with Marcus, and Marcus even agreed to let her visit his house often. Ruth was hoping Julian would close that bullshit fruit shop and follow Marcus to make a living. But Valerie was dumb. She offended. Marcus at this juncture.

Valerie said calmly, “I’m just helping Aiden get his toy back.”

Aiden did not understand why these people suddenly surrounded him and accused him and his aunt. He could only timidly hug his toy and hide behind Valerie. Fortunately, Julian came and stood on their side.

Julian was a clear–minded person. He did not blame Aiden like Ashley. Instead, he stepped forward to smooth things over. “Marcus, sorry. Aiden likes this toy very much. Moreover, it was given to him by his brother–in–law, so he can’t bear to lend

to Jim. How about I bring Jim out to buy a few toys later…”

Marcus slapped the table and sneered, “Julian, who are you looking down on? Do I need you to buy toys for my son?”

After saying that, Marcus took out his wallet, took some cash, and threw them on the table. “My son doesn’t want anything else now. He just wants your son’s toy. This money should be enough to buy ten more for your son. Take the money. Give the toy to me.”

These words were clearly insulting and looked down on Julian and Valerie.

Initially, Julian was still laughing it off. He wanted to turn a big matter into a small one. However, Marcus had gone too far. Now, Julian’s expression turned ugly.

Ruth and Ashley tugged at Aiden, half coaxing and half threatening him to be obedient.

“Mom…” Julian wanted to persuade Ruth, but she elbowed him hard.

“Shut up. Marcus is successful now. If you can work for him, you will earn more money than your lousy fruit shop. It’s just a toy. Give it to Jim. You can just buy two more later,” said Ruth.

Ashley snatched the toy from Aiden’s hands, ignoring the grievance in her son’s

eyes.

Valerie could not help but reach out to protect Aiden again.

Ashley immediately shouted, “Valerie, I’m warning you for the last time. If you meddle in other people’s business again, don’t blame me for being rude.” She had long wanted to teach Valerie a lesson. She pretended to push Valerie away but reached out to pinch Valerie’s waist. Even if she pinched Valerie until Valerie bled, no one would be able to see it. However, before she touched Valerie, someone suddenly pulled Valerie back.

Ashley missed. She also nearly fell. When she raised her head in fury, she was suddenly stunned. “Matthew, when did you come…”
