Antagonist
Chapter 25. Alfred Russell

"You what? Every second is precious, so auntie wants to buy it or not. If you are poor, say poor." The 8-year-old boy. Maybe staying with two antagonists makes him follow-up to be an antagonist.

"Cresia! You better teach your adopted son." Courtney (former husband of Cresia)

"Sorry, does Aunt Cresia know you? Not an aunt? Aunty can't know people in the car but don't have money." Sentence after sentence from Rachel gazed towards Cresia. A look that seems to say to stay calm and pretend not to know each other.

Cresia let out a rough sigh as she tried to calm down, although it still hurt her."Sorry, what fruit do you want to buy? If you don't buy, please move park your car, because it covers my stall merchandise." Speaks kindly.

"We're not level off buying rotten fruit like this!" Estela (Current wife of Courtney) slammed one mango large enough to shatter, as well as two kiloan wine plastics.

"One mango, two kilos of wine." Rachel took the calculator and showed it to Estela. Surely after raising the price three times."Aunt please pay, otherwise I'll report this to the police. Aunt's car number plate I remember, too." An expressionless sentence from him.

"I don't want to!" Estela's growls.

"Good! Querying! There's a pay phone. You know the police number, right?" rachel asked, answered with a nod by Query.

"Estela already! You said we came here just to see Cresia's life. He said you were worried about him..." Courtney finally took out her wallet. To give money compensation. However, Estela quickly recaptured it from Courtney's hands.

"Why give money to disrespectful people like them!?" Sentence after sentence that came out of Estela's mouth, making Cresia unable to take it anymore. Willing to attack, but Rachel quickly held her hand. As if asking Cresia to hold back her emotions.

"Look! The rich should be generous to the poor. You guys smashed the fruit in Aunt Cresia's shop. Aunty's lost, but you won't even replace her. In conclusion, you are poor people who suffer from psychiatric disorders. Until the destructive actions must be understood without getting compensation." The description of Rachel.

Query thins lips, in the end laughs too."Are your aunt and dad broke? Until it becomes crazy, slamming things in people's stores?" tanyakanya.

"They're just crazy poor people. So it needs to be understood." Rachel added, wanting to maintain Cresia's mental sanity. To not be bothered by these two people anymore.

"Give it!" Courtney snatches the money from Estela's hands, gives it to Rachel. While Cresia is still trying to smile to maintain her own emotional stability.

"Fucking kid!" Estela's growls pull the collar off Rachel's clothes, usually easily enough to make Cresia go berserk, due to mental stress. Estela's goal came at this time? Of course humiliating Cresia in her new business environment. But just because of this girl why was she even humiliated?

"If I'm hurt, hospital charges, aunt's responsible. It will be expensive." A pretentious phrase from Rachel closed her eyes preparing to be hit.

"Estela! Stop that!" Shouted Cresia, but she was pushed instead.

"Stop! I really did call the police!" shouted Query, about to run to the public telephone. But Courtney stopped Query, panicking if what her new wife was doing involved the police force.

"Stop! He's part of the Snowden family. You guys want to die?" The words of a smiling 10-year-old boy walked over, followed by his personal driver.

Courtney and Estela's attention turned to her. Snowden's? The family name of the conglomerate is quite famous. Perhaps only the Russell family can rival the size of their business.

"S... Snowden?" Estela wavers her grip from Rachel's shirt collar. The physical characteristics of the Snowden family. White hair with a distinctive eye pupil color. This newly arrived 10-year-old is truly a member of the Snowden family.

"Break the hand that pulled Rachel's shirt collar." Edward's orders to the driver.

"I.this is a small problem. Young master Snowden needn't-" Courtney's sentence interrupted.

"Break his hand now or I'll have to complain to my father." Said Edward in a flat tone. Instantly Courtney fell silent unable to defend her new wife. Still remembered in his mind, the center of the business world. A bespectacled man, long white-haired bound, Flint Snowden. Someone to watch out for.

"Sa.honey..." Estela's scared.

Cracks!

His hand was completely broken by the driver. His screams rang out, no one came to his aid for some reason. Maybe because these two guys made trouble first. Or have learned the problem from their conversation.

"I'm sorry I offended the young master. Don't yell at your dad." Courtney said quickly, picking up his screaming new wife crying out for pain.

"Go! But I changed my mind, I'm gonna keep complaining to my dad." The words spoken from Edward's lips made Courtney clench her hands in annoyance.

"sick! What kind of husband do you not defend me!" Shouted Estela shed her tears.

"You're the jerk! Saying only worried about Cresia! But you're causing trouble! You know what we're dealing with? He's Flint Snowden's only child!" Jerk Courtney, deplores his wife's actions. He works in a private company. Although not often, but occasionally representing the company where he worked attended official events, of course he knew the center of attention and fear of all entrepreneurs, Flint Snowden who did not even dare to be near.

Back to the front of the shop.

"Why not wait for me at school?" ask Edward.

Rachel just chuckled, picking up one of the apples that were there."This is for Edward, don't be mad, okay?"

Edward sighed, his ears flushed a little like a shy teenager after getting someone's gift, stuffing the apple Rachel gave him into his bag.

"Other times, if there's a problem use my surname." Edward said to her.

"Thank you young master..." Cresia lowered her head, her lips trying to smile.

"If you're grateful, every time Rachel comes to this place, please kick her out." Flat expressionless sentence. Really annoying kid, right?

"A..what?" Cresia confirmed his hearing.

Rachel quickly shut Edward's mouth with her hands."Sorry he's the one who talks a lot. But Edward was a good man. I wish we could be friends."

Cresia just smiled."It's okay, tomorrow come again, lunch together as usual."

"Auntie too! Stay energized! If you see them again, pretend not to know them. Don't ruin your aunt's mentality because people don't matter." A smile from Rachel, attracted Edward who wanted to talk seriously even more away.

"Mom's okay?" tanya Query gave her mother a glass of warm tea.

Cresia nodded."Rachel, she's related to a conglomerate family?" tanyakanya.

"Rachel was actually going to be adopted by the head of the Snowden family. But Edward Snowden wouldn't let it. I'd rather Rachel be his servant." Answer Query.

"Query, sometimes it's hard to find a good woman in this world. Therefore, take care of Rachel just for you. She'll probably fit in with me when she grows up..." Sentence by sentence her mother said.

While Query just fell silent not so understanding. Maybe fit as a friend? That's what 8-year-olds have in mind.

But do you know what the domino effect is? Things that should happen in a year and a half can happen faster.

Courtney was silent in the hospital corridor waiting for his new wife to get treatment. He who did not want to get into trouble from the Snowden family, eventually contacted the Russell family butler.

Butler had served in the Russell family for decades. Take care of all the Russell 6 family businesses this month, after all the Russell family members died in a plane crash.

Butler was loyal to the Russell family. Middle secretly searching for the only remaining descendant of Russell's family, Alfred Russel, that's his name.

"Jiang ..." The voice of the person Courtney contacted was heard from across the street.

"Sa... I'm Courtney, I have a problem can you help me!? I'll give you whatever reward you ask."
