Paul met Mason's children during a fight.
Mason was the gangster leader of this area. He looked fierce, but he was very kind to him.
Knowing that he was a Straight-A student,
Mason hired him to tutor his son and daughter.
The tutoring fee covered a dinner. Mason would occasionally allow him to spend the night at his house.
In the beginning, he also promised to help Paul to kick his uncle's family out.
But Paul knew that it was a law-based society now.
He feared it might get Mason into trouble.
Therefore, he refused Mason's kindness.
But now, it was different. The house was lawfully his.
He had the right to decide who could live in his house.
No matter how angry Josh and Alison were, they had no choice.
At that time,
Paul's cell phone suddenly rang.
He newly bought a slightly newer second-hand cell phone to replace his old one.
The caller ID was a string of numbers.
But he knew who it was.
He rose to his feet and walked aside to answer the call.
"Hello, Mrs. Crawford. What's up?"
A gentle voice came from the other side of the line. "Paul, you didn't go to school today?"
"No, I didn't. I'm not going to school in recent days," Paul replied.
He believed Josh and Alison would go to the school to look for him.
"Where are you? I'll go pick you up now. You can stay at my house," Athena said.
"No, thanks!" Paul refused. "Don't worry. I can take care of myself. By the way, my uncle and aunt are nasty people. If they can't get what they wanted from you or find me, I'm afraid they will hurt you out of anger."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of them," Athena said.
"Good," Paul answered. Then he stopped talking.
Athena didn't mind it at all.
