Chapter 982 - Crime Story (2/2)

”Sister-in-law, what are you gonna do? Why does it sound scary?” asked Ashley as she felt a cold aura from the three of them.

Xiu patted her head, ”There is nothing to be scared of.”

”Maybe we can just sit down to talk,” suggested Ashley.

”What can you talk to a cheater?” retorted Xiu. ”A cheater is not worth it. Trust me, he isn't.”

”No reason can justify his cheating,” added Nora. ”Do you wanna get back together with him?”

”No way!” Ashley almost shouted.

”Then it's better to teach that scum a lesson and move on,” said Nora in a reassuring voice. ”Have faith in us. We'll do a clean job.”

”So clean that he'll never be able to think with lower half again,” said Xiu.

”Ahem! Ahem!”

Four people turned to look at Darren who had been leaning against the door listening to this crime plan. He really didn't want to disturb but he really wanted to laugh out. In the end, he coughed to hide his laughter.

Ashley looked at Darren and called out, ”Bro, aren't you gonna say something? They are about to commit a crime.”

”I definitely won't sit back and let them do it,” said Darren as he walked over to her side and placed his hand on her head. ”I'll definitely make sure they don't get caught.”

”What?” Ashley didn't think she'd be hearing something like this from him. She always thought her brother was dependable and responsible.

Darren leaned down to look into her eyes as he said, ”He dared to hurt my sister. How can I let it go? I have to get justice for my sister.” Ashley's eyes brimmed with tears instantly when she heard him say that. Darren wiped her tear as he went on, ”I have to make someone pay for these precious tears of my sister, no?”

Ashley hugged his waist as she cried out, ”Bro, I love you so much! Thank you for being my brother!”

”What a silly sister,” commented Darren as he patted her shoulder. ”Did you forget? I told you before, your brother is always here for you. So, don't always try to fight things on your own. Give me a chance to protect my sister as well.”

While Darren was comforting Ashley, the other three talked out the detailed plan of their crime in hushed voices.

”Your wife is a violent person,” commented Ashley to Darren.

Darren chuckled at that, ”Did you just notice?” His shoulders shook with his laughter, ”Just because I love to call her Sweets doesn't mean she is actually sweet.” He rubbed her head saying, ”You should be honored she is willing to pull out her baseball bat for you. Not everyone gets the honor.”

”You really aren't gonna stop her?” asked Ashley.

”No,” answered Darren in reply. ”She is having fun. Why would I go over and ruin her fun? You stop worrying about it, she knows what she is doing. You don't think about anything. Especially not about that douchebag.” He pinched her cheek as he went on, ”And you better not waste your tears on him again.”

Ashley nodded her head with a small smile on her face, ”I won't.” She wasn't faking her smile.. She suddenly realized that she had so many people worrying about her, why should she waste her tears on one scumbag? Even though it still hurt, she was gonna be strong now and not cry just because it hurt.
