It was time to go to work, and many residents from the neighborhood had already gathered around.

When they overheard the conversation between the two women, they stood at the side and gawked and gossiped.

Della turned red, but she didn’t want to give up.

“They’re your biological father and grandmother. You should support them! You must take out the money today! You unfilial daughter! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens for not supporting your father and grandmother?”

As she spoke, she snatched the backpack from Laurie.

“You should have a wedding ring or necklace when you get married, right? If you don’t pay me today, then give me all this jewelry. I can then take it that you have been filial to your elders!”

Laurie held onto her bag tightly, but Della’s weight of 150 to 160 pounds meant she still had the upper hand. In a moment of distraction, Della managed to yank away Laurie’s bag.

Della felt somewhat gleeful. She was taller than Laurie and had a lot of muscles. How could the thin and feeble Laurie be her match?

“I’ll take your bag and your phone as collateral. I’ll only give you the bag if you hand over the betrothal gift money. Otherwise… Argh!” Della felt a sharp pain in her hand that was holding the bag and had to let go.

Thereafter, Laurie’s bag landed securely in Claude’s hands.

The air pressure around him instantly dropped. He looked at Della icily. “How dare you commit robbery in broad daylight?”

Della wanted to curse out loud, but when she saw the man’s handsome face and muscular body, she suddenly blushed and began stammering.

“That’s not true. You’ve misunderstood. She’s my elder sister. I’m here to ask for her for my grandmother’s maintenance allowance,” she hurriedly explained

Della was afraid that this handsome man would misunderstand her, so she added, “You don’t know what kind of person she is. She’s just a good-for-nothing that caused her family to lose money. She’s been giving money to her ex-boyfriend and doesn’t even support her old folks. It was said that she got pregnant and had a miscarriage. She could not have children anymore in the future, so she found a big sucker to marry.

“You can’t trust this kind of woman! She may be pretty, but she is a slut deep down… Argh!” Della wanted to slander Laurie further, but the handsome man next to her tightened his grip.

“I dare you to say another word about her!”

When he heard this fat woman slander Laurie without restraint, Claude suddenly became downright incensed.

When they saw that things were beginning to spiral out of control, the gawkers around them also tried to mediate between the two.

“Young fellow, let go first. If anything happens, you have to bear the responsibility too.”

“Yes, yes. Let her go first. It won’t be good if the police come later…”

Laurie also didn’t want Claude to get into trouble because of her. She quickly grabbed his hand. “Forget it. Let her go.”

When he heard Laurie’s voice which was still calm, Claude slowly released his grip.

Thereafter, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

“Someone is robbing people on the street. Yes… There are surveillance cameras nearby. There are also many eyewitnesses. The culprit is also involved in defamation and extortion.

“Yes… That’s right. I must sue her.

“What? Only a 4 to 5-year sentence? Isn’t it too little?”

It was not known what the other party said, but Claude gave a sigh.

“Four or five years is still good. You can come and deal with it later.”

Della was dumbfounded when she heard him end the phone call.

Wasn’t it just a conflict between her and Laurie? Why did this handsome guy suddenly want to sue her?

“Handsome dude, are you mistaken?”

Della wanted to grab his hand, but Claude shook her hand off in disgust.

“Who are you? This is our family matter. What right do you, an outsider, have to sue me?” Della dropped her pretense. After all, she had been pampered by her family from a young age and had never suffered such a great grievance. Her voice also carried a tinge of anger.

Claude smiled wickedly. Della felt her heart shudder momentarily and she felt a little fearful.

However, the words she heard next struck her like lightning.

“I am that big sucker.”

Upon hearing what Claude said, Laurie quickly lowered her head to stifle her laughter.

Claude usually had a stern expression on his face, but when he said that he was that big sucker, his expression was really intriguing.

Claude’s hearing was very good. He glanced at the snickering Laurie in annoyance and handed her the bag.

“Thank you.” Laurie couldn’t wipe away the smirk on her face in time and ended up accepting her bag with an awkward expression.

However, in the next second, she heard something that nearly made her collapse.

“Since you’re so weak, you should do strength training with me every day in the future. We’ll start with a daily run of five-kilometer with weights.”
