Originally, Alaina had a lot to say. Hearing this, she suddenly fell silent and looked at Elroye nervously, not knowing what he would do next.
Naturally, Elroye saw Alaina's expression. He pursed his lips, "Why do you look so serious? I won't hurt you."
"Well, Mr. Elroye..."
Before she finished her words, Elroye raised her hand to stop her, "I heard everything you said. But, what does it have to do with me?"
Alaina was shocked and looked at Avon subconsciously.
Avon frowned. Obviously, he was very unhappy.
Elroye sneered, "Everyone's family background is different. Since he is from a poor family, shouldn't he remain in his proper sphere? He actually wanted to be a hero and defend the girl. Yeah! Maybe he wanted to be a hero, but he beat me indeed, so he should be punished. He did something wrong and offended me, but why should I forgive him just because he is poor and has no money?" Alaina moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say. After all, Elroye was right.
"Let me tell you the truth. I have never been beaten since I was a child. Even my parents can't bear to beat me. But this guy really surprised me! He is poor, but what about me? Do I deserve to be beaten by him? How should I vent my anger?"
After that, he raised his hand and pointed to his head, "Take a good look! This is what your brother has done! Do you know what he used to hit me? Brick! Jesus! He took the brick and hit me directly. Did I do anything wrong?"
"I was lucky! Otherwise, I would have died! Do you understand?"
"I'm really sorry!" Alaina apologized sincerely.
Elroye snorted and did not accept her apology.
Avon couldn't help but say, "It was your fault! I hit you indeed, but you helped your friends, didn't you? You guys bullied me together!"
Alaina frowned and turned to glare at him, "Avon!"
Avon said unwillingly, "It's true!" But this time, his voice was obviously much lower.
"Ha-ha!" Elroye laughed exaggeratedly, "Look!" He looked at Alaina, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Alaina was angry and anxious, "Mr. Elroye, Avon is not sensible. You don't want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him! If you have any request, you can tell me." Saying this, she turned to look at Avon, "Go out first!"
"Alaina?"
"Just listen to me, okay?"
Avon stamped his feet, and then turned around and left.
Seeing that Avon had left, Elroye turned to look at Alaina, "What's wrong? Do you want to stay with me alone?"
Alaina's face turned pale, and then she blushed. She coughed softly and tried to look calm on the surface, "Mr. Elroye, I am just..."
"Alright." Elroye said impatiently, "You say the same words over and over again. It's so annoying! But..." He drawled, but didn't finish the rest of his words.
"What?"
With his hands propping up, Elroye leaned towards Alaina, "Can you wash your face before talking to me?"
Alaina was stunned and didn't know why he suddenly said so.
Elroye moved closer to her, "Look at the makeup your face! What's the hell? Are you trying to scare me or amuse me?"
At first, he didn't pay much attention to her face. Later, when he looked at her face again, he was really surprised. Every woman was well-dressed and delicate in his social circle.
