Judith was taken aback by the sudden appearance of those six men, and she hurriedly said to them, “Okay, okay. Wait right here. I’ll go in right away to get the money.” Judith immediately ran into the home and came out soon after with a somewhat aged plastic bag in her hand.

She opened it to reveal money consisting of one, two, and five dollars, along with a whole bunch of quarters. As for dollar bills in bigger denominations, there are only seven or eight of them.

“F*cking change? Again?!” The scar-faced man became impatient and said to a guy next to him, “Count them!”

“It’s going to take ages to count seven hundred bucks’ worth of change.” The underling was a little unhappy, but he walked over here anyhow.

“Hold it! When did my mother owe you money?” Severin shielded Judith after seeing the entire situation and asked with a sullen expression.

“Well, I’ll be damned! I thought you were some beggar who came here to ask for food. I wouldn’t have recognized you if you hadn’t defended your mother. Aren’t you that loser who hit Mister Easton with a beer bottle five years ago?”

The scar-faced man took one step forward and looked carefully at Severin. He then scratched his head with a smirk and said tauntingly, “You’ve been released? Well, I have to admit that I do admire your courage. I can’t imagine how you got the guts to hit Mister Easton when everybody knows that he’s from an influential family.”

Severin said calmly, “The past in the past, and I don’t regret anything!” Having said that, Severin walked over, looked straight at the scar-faced man, and pointed to the plastic bag full of money on the ground. “What’s the deal with all this money?”

The scar-faced man sneered and said, “What’s there to explain? Don’t you have a brain? Did you think that you wouldn’t have to pay any compensation for beating up Mister Easton? The Loughs demanded two hundred thousand, which your fiancee paid by selling your matrimonial home to Mister Easton for a hundred and fifty thousand. As for the remaining fifty thousand, you were allowed to pay the sum back in installments.”

Then, the scar-faced man touched his chin and said, “Your parents have paid back a little less than half in the past five years, so there’s still about twenty-six thousand remaining. In any case, it’s a good thing that you were released early. At least you can help to make the payments!”
