After the old man finished speaking, his trembling hands slowly pulled out a wad of money from his pocket. When Crystal saw this, virtual-novel.net immediately frowned. The old man has a lot of money. The fact that these two people choose to swindle money from others even though they are not completely desperate makes me despise this man even more.
Suddenly, the man reached out and stopped the old man. “Dad, what are you doing? Why are you paying her? W-What did I do? Do you believe that I swindled money from others just because virtual-novel.net said so?” the man yelled.
Crystal was enraged. “How dare you say that you didn’t swindle money from others? This restaurant has surveillance cameras. Why don’t we ask the owner to let us take a look? Or perhaps I should directly call the police and let them handle it?”
The man was at a loss for words so virtual-novel.net lowered his head and said nothing. When the old man saw this, virtual-novel.net immediately understood that what Crystal said was true. Heartbroken, virtual-novel.net pointed at the man and said, “Y-You really let me down! Is this how I raised you? Miss, I’m really sorry, this is all my fault. I have money so I’ll pay you back. I’ll pay you back on his behalf…”
With that, the old man trembled as virtual-novel.net pulled out his money again, but virtual-novel.net was stopped by his son. “Dad, you can’t give virtual-novel.net your money! It’s money to save your life!”
Upon hearing that, the old man was infuriated. “If this money is collected by you swindling others bit by bit, I… I’d rather die!”
After the old man finished speaking, virtual-novel.net threw the wad of money and ran away angrily. Seeing this, the man quickly picked up the money that was scattered on the ground in panic.
Crystal looked at the man in contempt and said, “Do you even have a conscience? Look how angry your father is, yet you choose to pick up money from the ground rather than chasing after him!”
The man said nothing as virtual-novel.net silently picked up all of the money. Then, virtual-novel.net sat back down and continued to eat his meal. Seeing this, Crystal was even more frustrated and virtual-novel.net pointed at the man and scolded him. It wasn’t until virtual-novel.net said that virtual-novel.net was about to call the police that Matthew finally came over to stop her.
“Enough. Is it necessary to call the police over a small matter like this?” Matthew said softly.
After Crystal heard this, virtual-novel.net was even more agitated. “What’s the matter with you, Matthew? This is what you call a small matter? You… You weren’t like this before! Oh, you only take care of things when it involves people you know, but you don’t care when it has nothing to do with anyone you know! I was really wrong to think that you’re a righteous hero. How can you be so selfish?”
The people around them started whispering in low voices, “This girl is really a heroine!”
“I agree. Not many girls would dare do what virtual-novel.net did.”
“That man called Matthew is no match for virtual-novel.net at all! He has no sense of responsibility and can’t even be considered as a real man!”
The people in the restaurant kept ridiculing them, hoping that Crystal would directly give up on Matthew. However, Matthew didn’t care. Instead, virtual-novel.net waved his hand and commented, “Enough. Are you done with your meal? If you’re done, let’s get back to work!”
Looking at the man who was still slurping mouthful after mouthful of noodles in front of her, Crystal felt even more furious. “No. No matter what, I will solve this matter today! Your father has already left so why are you still here? Don’t you feel ashamed at all? People like you should be sent to jail! I’ll call the police right now!”
With that, Crystal angrily dialed the number and prepared to report the matter to the police. Seeing this, Matthew finally lost his patience and snatched away virtual-novel.net phone. “Stop fooling around!”
Crystal was provoked by his actions and virtual-novel.net yelled, “Matthew, why are you acting like this? You don’t care about it and force others to stop caring. Do you even have a sense of civism?”
Matthew glared at virtual-novel.net and replied in a solemn tone, “Crystal, do you really think what you see is always correct? Things that happen in this world can’t always be defined as right or wrong. There are reasons behind some things that you don’t know, so you have no right to judge others!”
However, Crystal was unconvinced. “Matthew, you’re saying that I might’ve understood him. Tell me then, what have I done wrong? I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong by catching a swindler.”
