Chapter 35 - That Guy Looks Weird
Macy flew into a rage and slapped Henry across the face.
"You b*stard! How dare you lie to me!"
Henry also felt aggrieved. "Sh*t, I did it because of you! Your family are snobs and want to climb the social ladder. How would you take a fancy to me if I don't have money?"
Macy flushed with anger. Walter and Camille were also put on the spot.
"Cut the crap and pay up! If you dare to fool me again, I'll chop you up!"
Max was in the money lending business for many years and was known for his notorious ruthlessness.
Henry was scared witless. Then, he suddenly thought of something and hugged Macy's legs.
"Macy, look, I spent a lot of money on you. How about this? You help me pay the money first! I'll definitely pay you back when I have money!"
Macy thought her ears were playing tricks on her. "Henry, are you insane? Why should I pay back the money you owe?"
Before Henry could speak, Max said, "Why? Because you're his girlfriend!"
Max's eyes swept over Macy's body lecherously. Although Macy did not have a good character, her figure was great and her looks were also pretty, so it was enough to arouse Max's interest.
"Since you're his girlfriend, you have a share in the debt he owes. How about this, if you come with us, I'll give you a discount on the eight million you owe me. How does that sound?"
Macy was stupefied. She never thought that she would be dragged into this.
Before she could speak, Henry nodded with joy. "Yes yes yes. It's settled then!"
Macy was so angry she wanted to explode. "Henry, you b*stard! You scumbag! I must have been blind to take a fancy to you!"
"Henry, how could you sell Macy for money? Are you still a man?"
Camille jumped with anger.
However, Max did not want to waste any more time. "Cut the crap! Drag this woman away!"
Six burly men picked Macy up and headed outside without a word.
Macy was so scared she felt her soul leave her body. It was clear what would happen to her if she was taken away by these people!
"Don't grab me! I'll break up with him now! I have nothing to do with him! Don't take me!"
Camille and Walter rushed to stop them.
"Don't take our daughter!"
"If you dare to mess around, I'll call the police!"
However, how could both of them be a match for those men? They were kicked away as soon as they approached.
"F*ck off!"
Max snorted coldly. "You want to call the police? Be my guest! Let's see if you'll dare to report it when we take pictures of your daughter after she's been stripped naked and slept with!"
The Jensen family was completely desperate.
"Help! Somebody, help!"
They shouted everywhere.
Although there were many people in the restaurant, no one came forward to help. However, there were quite a few people taking pictures.
Compared to standing up for what was right in reality, they were better at being keyboard warriors online.
Seeing how Macy was about to be dragged out of the restaurant, Walter completely succumbed to despair, and Camille started to sob.
At that moment, Susan blocked their path.
"How can you kidnap a woman in broad daylight?! There are laws in this country!"
Susan was timid and average in daily life, but at that moment, she was like a gallant warrior.
Max looked at Susan and smirked in disdain.
He spat on the ground and shouted fiercely, "What the hell? How dare an old hag like you meddle in my business! Get out of my way!"
As Max spoke, he raised his hand and swung it at Susan's face.
However, before the hand could land on her face, he was kicked and sent flying back.
The Jensen family was stunned, not expecting Augustus to step up at this critical moment.
Then, there was a pang of disappointment in their hearts.
If only it was someone else who stepped up. Augustus was just a good-for-nothing loser. He would not be able to help even if he tried to.
"Damn it, who dared to hit me? Are you tired of living?!"
Max covered his stomach and got up from the ground. His face was vicious with a vengeful intent.
However, when he saw the person in front of him, he immediately froze.
"B-Brother Augustus!"
The Jensen family widened their eyes, not daring to believe their own ears.
Brother Augustus?
This ruthless scoundrel actually called Augustus Cross, "Brother Augustus"?
Augustus looked at Max with a cold expression. "You have a lot of nerve to raise your hand at my mother! Since Dexter Fox didn't teach you how to behave, I'll teach you instead!"
Smack!
Augustus raised his hand and slapped Max's face, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Not only did Max not dare to fight back, but he also kneeled in front of Augustus immediately and apologized. "Brother Augustus, I was wrong. I really didn't know she was your mother! If I knew, I wouldn't have dared touch her! Please let me go!"
Everyone was stunned. The men that Max brought were also dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on now, but when they saw Max so terrified, they did not dare to continue standing and followed his example, kneeling on the ground.
The Jensen family was so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Was Augustus not supposed to be a good-for-nothing living off his wife? When did he become so capable?
They did not know that even Dexter Fox went to Augustus's door to kneel and beg for forgiveness. Mere mooks like Max counted for nothing.
"If I see you guys running amok again, I won't let you off. Scram!"
"Thank you, Brother Augustus!"
Max and the others threw Macy down and ran out of the restaurant as if granted amnesty.
"Macy, a-are you okay?"
As soon as Max and the others left, Henry went over to check up on her, seemingly forgetting that he had just pushed her into the fire pit.
"Get out of my sight! I'm revolted by just looking at you!"
Macy slapped Henry's face.
Then, she looked at Augustus.
Augustus's expression was calm, but it made Macy feel even more ashamed and resentful.
She had always felt superior in front of Augustus, but today, all her dignity and haughtiness had been trampled on by him!
Macy turned and ran out of the restaurant, as Henry and her parents went after her.
Calm soon returned to the restaurant, and Augustus took Susan and Skylar to an empty table and sat down.
It was the first time he brought his mother to such a high-class place to eat, so he naturally did not act perfunctorily. He ordered a table full of delicious food, making Skylar happy as could be.
However, not long after, Skylar pointed curiously at a few diners who came in the door.
"Grandma, that guy looks weird."
"Weird? What's weird about him?"
Susan asked casually while putting food in Skylar's bowl.
"Why is that boy carrying an old man on his back? That old man looks so fierce!"
Skylar seemed to be a little frightened and shrunk her neck.
Susan looked up and smiled helplessly. "Silly girl, are your eyes playing tricks on you? I don't see any old man."
However, Skylar was insistent. "But he's right there!"
Augustus also thought that Skylar was just fooling around, but when he raised his eyes to look over, he instantly stiffened.
There was no old man, but what he saw was that the boy's back was haunted by a strange dark aura!
