When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 45

With so much noise, many people gathered around to see what was going on.

Suddenly, someone tugged on Amelie’s sleeves and told her, “Their family heard that you were divorced without anything and found out that your father sold his shoe-making technique. So, they think that you guys definitely won’t have the money to move back into the house. They’re trying to chase your family out and take the house.”

The person talking was a woman named Celine Barr. She was giving Amelie a heads-up for the sake of her connections with Amelie during the old days.

However, when she saw that ferocious look from Tom, she was afraid that she would bring trouble herself, so she stepped out of it after she warned Amelie.

At this moment, a smirk tugged on Amelie’s lips, and her face showed ruthlessness. Appeasement really brings disaster. Dad let them stay in our house for so many years, but these b*stards actually want to claim it as

their own?

“Tom, it’s Amelie. She pushed me,” Abby shouted as she pointed at Amelie while sitting on the ground. At the same time, she was hinting at her son with her eyes.

Hearing that, Tom swung the carrying pole at Amelie immediately. “Amelie Dillion! You dare to hurt my mom?! I’ll beat you to death!”

However, Amelie acted as though she didn’t see his carrying pole. She just parted her lips and said, “Are you sure you want to beat me up? The police station is not far from here You’ll need to pay with your life if you beat me to death!”

In fact, he just wanted to scare her, just like what he had discussed with Abby. Since Amelie was divorced without anything, no one would have her back. On top of that, Steven was just a nice guy. He sold his business and didn’t have any power either. As a result, if he scared her a little, he could definitely make her and Steven flee in terror, never to return.

In their eyes, Steven’s shoemaking technique was only worth a few thousand. A few thousand won’t make significant difference. There’s nothing to be afraid of!

The two of them were just thinking about claiming the house and didn’t care whether Amelie’s family would survive when they left the place.

Yet, at this moment, Amelie had a calm expression as though she was not terrified at all.

When Tom saw that, his hand trembled a little.

“If you dare to beat my mommy, she’ll definitely send you to jail!” Bria shouted loudly. Mommy said that we couldn’t cause trouble, but if the trouble is here, we can’t be afraid!

She stood in front of Amelie and used her big eyes to glare fiercely at Tom.

Seeing that, Amelie was scared that Bria would get hurt, so she pulled her to the back.

“Tom, what are you afraid of? We have people on our side in the police station!” Abby shouted from the ground. “They hit us, so we hit them back. It’s just self-defense.”

When she noticed that Amelie wasn’t terrified, she wanted to let Tom hit her a few times so that she would finally be afraid.

Hearing that, Tom plucked up some courage right away and smashed the carrying pole at Amelie.

Luckily, Amelia actually learned martial arts before. Steven only had one daughter, who appeared frail. Afraid that she would be at a disadvantage in the future, he walked the extra mile to sign her up for MMA classes in the city area.

Although it had been a long time since she last trained, the foundation was still there. She raised her leg and was ready to fight back.

Clatter! When the carrying pole was swung just five centimeters away from Amelie’s leg, it suddenly stopped.

Under his pole was a knife!

Seeing that, the shocked Tom bellowed, “Who’s interfering?! Get lost!”

As he raised his head, he saw clearly that the person with the knife was Steven!

Meanwhile, Amelie recognized Steven too, and she was shocked. “Dad?”

However, Steven didn’t reply to her as his eyes were fixed on Tom. “You dare to lay a finger on my daughter?” He raised the knife in his hand and slashed it at Tom.

Steven was never angry and was always polite to everyone. Even if people took advantage of him, he wouldn’t mind. So this was the first time Tom had seen Steven so enraged.

His face was contorted with rage, and his glare was hostile. From the sound of his knife slashing through the air, one could tell that he was really going to kill!

At this moment, Tom was scared out of his wits. He could only use the pole in his hand to defend himself.

However, the pole was slashed in half by Steven! He had such great strength that he nearly chopped Tom’s

head off.

That feeling of a knife sliding across the head was extremely terrifying, making the terrified Tom turn around and run away.

Amelie and Bria were Steven’s weak spots. Now that they had been bullied, how could he let this go? So, with the knife in his hand, he pursued Tom from behind. As he did that, he threw a glance at Abby on the ground.

Seeing that, Abby thought that he would slash his knife at her. So, she covered her head, petrified, and wet her pants instantly!

Meanwhile, her chubby grandson was so terrified that his knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, crying his

heart out.

After seeing that, only then did Steven go on chasing behind Tom. Even though he was old, he could still run fast, so he was able to follow behind Tom.

On the other hand, Abby was really hysterical. She went over to tug on a corner of Amelie’s shirt while on her knees and started sobbing. “Amy, your father is going crazy! Quickly stop him! How am I going to live if he really kills Tom?!” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Of course, Amelie wouldn’t care about a sc*mbag like Tom, but since her father was already at an advanced age, it would be a problem if he hurt himself. So, she asked Celine to take care of Bria and chased after the

two men

In the end, someone called the police, and a few policemen held Steven down together.

Seeing that, Amelie ran over and pushed the policemen who were holding her father before hugging him in distress. “Dad, why did you do that?”

After running

for some time, Steven was gasping for breath, but the hostility in his eyes did not dissipate as he glared at Tom. “My daughter and granddaughter can never be bullied!”

At this moment, Amelie couldn’t help but feel lucky. It was lucky that he didn’t go to the Alston Residence at

that time, or else he would have killed all the Alstons for sure if he knew how they treated her.

Steven and Tom were brought to the police station together, and a civil police officer was in charge of interrogating both of them.

When he heard that Steven had taken out a knife because his daughter and granddaughter were being hurt by Tom and because Tom had a bad name in this area, he didn’t hold on to this matter for long. After he scolded both of them, they were released after signing the papers.

As Steven signed the paper, he glared at Tom. “Free up the house when you get back. My house is not for any b*stard to stay!”

Outside the room, Abby was there as well. When she heard that, she was so upset that she nearly fainted. Not only did they not get the house, but they also needed to move out right away, and her own son was nearly killed. It’s not worth it at all!

“Let’s go, Dad.” Amelie went over to hold Steven and leave the station with him. She didn’t even want to lay her eyes on that mother and son.

Just as the two of them arrived at the entrance, two people suddenly walked toward them from the outside.

“Why are they leaving already? Have you looked into everything?” The man walking in front looked at them coldly and arrogantly as he talked in a bossy tone.

“Yes, sir. Tom Wilson started the fight first. He wanted to hurt Mr. Dillon’s daughter and granddaughter, so Mr. Dillon was provoked and fought back,” the local police officer stood up and reported it to the man respectfully.

They could tell that the two people outside had a certain status at the station.

“Both of them are not hurt, so I released them, Inspector Murphy. I ended the case ”

When Abby saw the two men, her dull face suddenly brightened up, and she quickly said, “Tom didn’t start the fight. This man’s daughter attacked me at first, so my son couldn’t take it and came over to scold her. Who knew that the older man would suddenly take out a knife and start attacking people? Officer, you need to help us get our justice.”

She’s actually turning things upside down. So heinous. Amelie replied coldly, “I didn’t push you, and there was a weapon in Tom’s hand.”

“What weapon? He’s holding the carrying pole because your father wanted to kill him. He was just trying to defend himself!” Abby continued to twist the truth.

Amelie wanted to refute her, but someone spoke before her. “Whose knife is this? Doesn’t holding a knife. imply that he intended to kill? Killing is a crime. Don’t you understand this simple thing?” The one

speaking was the man they addressed as ‘Inspector Murphy’

Inspector Murphy took the knife and pointed it at the police officer. “This is a serious crime, but you’re letting them go after signing the papers?”

“This…” The civil police officer narrowed his shoulders and spoke in a sulky tone. “But Tom always…

“No matter what, with the weapon here, you can’t release them!” Inspector Murphy pointed at Steven arrogantly. “Take him into custody now! And this one too! Take them in!” He was talking about Amelie.

Amelle had seen inspectors working on cases but had never seen someone do it like this. Instantly, her face turned cold, and she looked at Inspector Murphy with a hostile gaze. “What’s the reason for taking me into custody?”

“This old lady said that you pushed her, which means you committed a crime. So how can we not put you into custody?” the man behind Inspector Murphy said. He had two strands of hair on top of his mouth, looking just like someone who liked to butter people up.

Hearing that, Abby winked at the two men happily. When she turned to look at Amelie, she scoffed with an obvious look of pride on her face.

At this moment, Amelie could already tell that these two men were the ‘people on our side’ that Abby had mentioned just now.

“Are you not taking them in?!” Inspector Murphy waved his hand impatiently.

The civil police officer had no choice but to hold Steven and Amelie down.

“Wait!” A clear voice suddenly resounded.
