Chapter 52

The crowd hadn’t fully dispersed yet.

Hearing Hellen’s accusation, many people halted in their tracks and looked at their direction.

Janet was in no mood arguing with them. She darted them a cold glare before turning around and walking away hastily.

“Stop her! That fraud is getting away!” Hellen shrieked.

John jumped at Janet reaching out an arm to grab her shoulder. Janet shook him off with one move and shoved him away.

John staggered backwards and tripped himself.

Falling to the ground, he covered his chest and cried hysterically, “The Gamma is bullying the civilians! Help! Somebody helps us!”

Janet clenched her fists in anger.

As much as she wanted to avoid these clowns, they didn’t allow her a single moment of peace.

“I didn’t bully you. You tripped yourself. Everyone here could be my witness.”

Janet said icily.

“And fine, let’s talk if you insist. Should I remind you of how you tortured me over the years? Living under your roof, I had never had a full meal. I spent my entire childhood doing hard labors. Kids like Owen beat me whenever they wanted to. There were broken ribs and bruises on my body during my entire upbringing. I haven’t asked you for the medical bills yet. How dare you come back now and ask me

for money?!”

Hellen took out a large handkerchief and sobbed into it.

Paul held her waist, letting her lean on his shoulder, and snapped at Janet, “You are not our child. How can you expect us to treat you like one of our own? You are a freeloader, Janet, hovering over our house and snatching food from my children! We won’t leave until you pay us back what you owe!”

Janet felt a furious feeling at heart.

The Diaz were even more barefaced than she had expected.

She couldn’t get violent with them with everyone watching. She couldn’t walk away either–John and Owen had blocked her way.

Just then, a deep voice came from behind their backs, “What is going on?”

It was Daran.

He walked through the parting crowds and arrived at the scene.

His cold eyes surveyed the group and focused on Paul in the end, “I just said no more dramas and riots. Have you forgotten already?”

Daran’s Alpha aura was very intimidating. The Diaz quivered in fear involuntarily. “A–Alpha Daran.”

Owen plucked up the courage and stepped forward, facing Daran with a flattering smile.

“You probably don’t remember me anymore because I have spent the last few years serving in your patrol team at the border. It is my great honor to-”

“Cut to the chase.” Daran said icily, “I don’t care who you are.

Owen gulped nervously and pointed a finger at Janet, “As you have known, Janet is not my parents‘ kid. She has been freeloading our family for years, keeping her identity a secret from us. Now we simply ask her to give the money back to us. It sounds fair, right? But Janet refused us and shoved my little brother violently! Alpha, please, you must do us justice!”

Janet looked at Daran briefly.

She didn’t expect him to take her side.

She wouldn’t be surprised if he stood with the Diaz and demanded her to pay back the money.

“So you said that Janet shoved you?” Daran asked John.

John nodded eagerly.

“I doubt it.” Daran said with a snort, “Janet is a Gamma. If she really did push you on purpose, you would end up with two broken ribs and a concussion. It seems more likely to me that you tripped yourself.”

The crowd burst into a gale of laughter. And John’s face turned red.

Janet raised an eyebrow in surprised.

Daran was taking her side this time?

How odd.

“And about the money you talked about-”

Daran turned to Hellen and Paul and asked, “Give me a figure. How much does she owe you?”

The couple exchanged a greedy look with each other.
