Chapter 377
The little girl’s words had the man in the room all riled up. With a feather duster in hand, the man pointed at the girl and said, “You got some nerve, looking down on me. Go and find your real parents, then. Let’s see what you got, you little rascal, you’re really pushing it.”
The little girl retorted defiantly, “I will find my parents. I don’t need you!”
She stormed off to the elevator, temper flaring.
The man quickly tried to coax her back, “Layna, you’re really pushing it, aren’t you? Just wait till I teach you a lesson.”
He brandished the feather duster, pretending to smack her a few times, just to scare her. He wasn’t really hitting her, but the little girl started wailing. “Child abuse! Duncan is abusing a child!”
Hearing the girl’s name, Anastasia realized that this was the child Anthony had mentioned.
Anastasia was a bit surprised to see such a naturally rebellious little girl What a fiery temper she had.
Anastasia was quick to try and soothe the man, “Um… I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the man dragged the little girl into the house and slammed the door shut. In his fit of anger, he completely ignored Anastasia.
Anastasia was stunned. Monica was also shocked by the scene. “Ana, is that your daughter? She has quite a temper.”
Despite being about the same age as Pattie, the two girls were worlds apart. One was well-behaved, gentle, and soft-spoken, and the other was just like a hot pepper.
“It’s definitely a surprise.” Anastasia rang the doorbell again. After a while, the man opened the door, and Anastasia quickly said, “Hello, Duncan. I’m Anastasia. I need to speak with you about something. Can we talk?”
“Who are you? What do you want?” The man, also with a fiery temper, looked at Anastasia and Monica suspiciously.
Anastasia didn’t want to disclose her intentions just yet, as the child’s identity wasn’t clear, and she didn’t want to stir up a fuss. Anastasia said, “I was referred by Anthony.”
Hearing Anthony’s name, the man’s expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Come in and talk.”
“Thank you.” Anastasia nodded politely and entered the house with Monica.
The little girl was standing in the corner of the living room, looking defiant. The man yelled, “Get in your room, and stop staring. Until your parents come to get you, you are my daughter. Behave yourself.”
