Chapter 389 “Dad, Mom, are you still giving them money?” Abigail was hearing this for the first time and she just couldn’t put up with their overly sympathetic behavior. She knew her father was a soft touch, always ready to help anyone no matter how difficult the situation, even willing to dig into his own pockets, which had cost him dearly over the years. If he kept this up, they’d be bled dry. Today, she had to make her move. “Dad, can you please kick them out? If you don’t, I’m calling the cops. This is our home. Why should Mom and I have to leave?” “Call the cops? Ridiculous! You’re trying to pull a Cornelia?” The woman sneered, always bringing up Cornelia, “Go ahead, call the cops. Worst-case scenario, we’ll spend a few days in jail where the food’s free. We’ll save some money.”
Abigail’s dad grabbed her, “Abigail, cut it out. We’re family. Don’t stir up trouble. You only come back once a year. Let’s just enjoy our time together.” “Enjoy our time together? Really?” Abigail shoved her parents into their room and locked the door from outside, “I’m taking over You’re not allowed to meddle anymore.” If she didn’t teach these freeloaders a lesson, she wouldn’t know who really ran the show around here. By the time Zack got there after Abigail’s call, the woman and her son were sitting on the floor, happily munching on chicken legs. Zack gave Abigail a look and said, “Abigail, tally up the damage they’ve done to your place. The more, the merrier. It’s called criminal property damage; the punishment’s severe, and they’ll be locked up for a few years at least.” “Pfft, who are you trying to scare? Cornelia tried to sue her uncle last time and look what happened? He only spent a few days in jail.” Zack ignored her and continued to talk to Abigail, “Even if they don’t get jailed, it’s okay. All the damage was done by the kid, right? Make him pay for it. If he’s underage and can’t pay, well, that’s just tough.” The woman proudly raised her chin; she knew the score.
Zack added, “And even if we can’t pin him now, it’s fine. A criminal record is enough to screw up his life, He won’t find a decent job and no family would marry their daughter to a man with a record.” The woman didn’t know jack about law, but the thought of her son not being able to find a good job or marry when he grew up got her anxious, “Don’t drag my kid into this.” Abigail ignored her and said to Zack, “Zack, isn’t your good friend in charge of our area? Give him a call. We need to fix this. I won’t stand for this kind of cr ap.” Zack pulled out his phone, “I’ll call him right now.” The woman suddenly lunged forward, knocking the phone out of Zack’s hand. The phone hit the floor and shattered. It was a spare phone that Zack had prepared beforehand. He didn’t lose his cool, “Abigail, you have cameras in your house, right? Did they catch her breaking my phone?” Abigail pointed at the camera on the ceiling, “Yep, it’s all on tape.” Zack said, “That was a brand new iPhone and only two months old. It cost me over two grand. So, are you gonna cough up the cash now, or should I hand the evidence over to the cops and have them make you pay?”novelbin
