The commotion had attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.
Someone pulled at my sleeve and whispered, “They heard that you got divorced and left with nothing. They even found out that your dad sold his shoemaking skills. They think you don’t have money and want to force you out to take over your house.”
The one speaking was a woman named Mrs. Finn. I’d known her since childhood, which is why she came forward to warn me. But seeing the fierce look on Jared’s face, she got scared of getting involved and quickly backed away after speaking.
A faint chill came over my face. It was really a case of raising a tiger that later caused trouble.
Dad had let them live in the house for so many years for free, and now these scumbags wanted to
claim it as their own?
“Son, it’s Anya. She pushed me.” Aunt Violet sat on the ground, pointing at me and signaling to Jared.
Jared immediately swung the pole towards me and said, “You dare to hurt my mom? I’ll make sure
you regret it!”
I didn’t seem fazed by his threatening gesture at all and just raised my lips, saying, “Are you sure you want to do this? The police station isn’t far from here. If you kill someone, you’ll have to pay the
price!”
Jared had only meant to scare me.
He’d already talked it over with Aunt Violet that I’d left with nothing, had no background or connections. And Dad was an honest person who sold his business without any influence.
Jared thought scaring Dad and me would be enough to make us leave and never come back. In their eyes, Dad’s craftsmanship was worth at most a few thousand yuan, which wouldn’t cause any trouble. They were just focused on extorting the house and didn’t care if Dad and I would end up starving after leaving.
However, I stayed calm and wasn’t shaken by Jared’s threats.
Jared’s hand visibly trembled.

“If you dare to touch my mommy, she will make sure you go to jail!” Karina shouted loudly,
Mommy had said not to start trouble, but if trouble came, we couldn’t be afraid!
Karina stood in front of me, glaring at Jared with her big eyes.
I was worried that Karina might get hurt and pushed her back.
“Don’t be scared, son! We have connections with the police station!” Aunt Violet yelled from the ground. “If they hit us, we can fight back. It’s self–defense!”
Aunt Violet thought that if Jared could give me a few hits, I’d be scared and back down.
But seeing that I wasn’t afraid, Jared got bolder and swung the pole at me again.
Fortunately, I’d had some martial arts training.
As Dad’s only daughter, I was raised like a precious flower. Dad was afraid I might get into trouble and spent money to take me to the city for martial arts practice.
Although it had been years since I last practiced, the foundation was still there.
I raised my leg to block Jared’s attack.
Clang!
The pole came down, stopping just five centimeters away from my leg.
Underneath Jared’s pole, a knife suddenly appeared!
Jared was startled and cursed, “Who’s meddling in other people’s business? Get lost!”
As he looked up, he saw who was holding the knife.
It was Dad!
I also recognized Dad and called out, “Dad?”
Dad didn’t respond, his eyes fixed firmly on Jared. “Dare you hit my daughter?”
He raised his knife and swung it towards Jared.

Dad was usually calm and polite to everyone; even if someone tried to take advantage of him, he
wouldn’t mind.
Jared was the first person to see him this angry.
His face tightened, his eyes filled with killing intent, and the sound of the knife cutting through the air was deafening. He really meant to kill!
Jared was scared to death and could only use the pole to defend himself.
But the pole was cut in half by Dad’s strike!
His strength was terrifying.
It was just a hair’s breadth away from cutting Jared’s head. ·
The feeling of a sharp blade skimming against the scalp was terrifying!
Jared was so frightened that he ran away.
Seeing Karina and me being bullied, Dad couldn’t let it go and chased after Jared, brandishing the
knife.
As he chased, he glanced down at Aunt Violet.
Aunt Violet thought he’d attack her, so she covered her head, and in her panic, she wet her pants!
Her fat grandson was even more frightened, crying loudly as he fell to the ground.
Dad then focused on chasing Jared.
Despite his age, his steps were quick, and he chased after Jared relentlessly.
Aunt Violet was terrified and knelt down, grabbing my clothes while crying and shouting, “Anya, your dad’s gone mad. Please stop him. If he really kills our Jared, it’ll be over!”
I didn’t care much about Jared, but Dad was getting older, and it could be troublesome if he got injured.
I entrusted Karina to Mrs. Finn’s care and hurriedly chased after them. In the end, someone must have called the police, and they came to help detain Dad. I ran over and pushed away the people

holding Dad, embracing him with concern. “Dad, why did you have to go to such lengths?
Dad, still panting from the chase, his killing intent not yet subsided, glared at Jared and said, “My daughter and granddaughter, Arthur’s family, will never be bullied by others!”
I couldn’t help but feel relieved. Thankfully, last time, Dad didn’t go to the Quinn family; otherwise, knowing the grievances I suffered, he might have killed all the members of the Quinn family!
Dad and Jared were taken to the police station together. One police officer was in charge of questioning them both. It was said that Dad got angry and drew his knife because Karina and I were hurt by Jared. Coupled with Jared’s bad reputation in the area, the situation was straightforward. After educating both parties, they signed some documents and were released.
After signing, Dad stared at Jared and said, “Clear out of my house! My house is not for pigs and dogs
to live in!”
Outside, Aunt Violet also came and heard his words. She felt as if her heart was being pierced with pain. She didn’t extort the house, and in the end, they were going to move out immediately. Moreover, her own son nearly got killed in the process. It was a huge loss!
“Dad, let’s go.” I walked over, supporting Dad, and we left without bothering to look at the two of
them.
As we were about to reach the door, two people suddenly approached from outside.
“Where are you going? Is the matter resolved?” The leader had a stern and cold expression, exuding an air of authority.
“It’s resolved. Jared started the trouble first, trying to harm their daughter and granddaughter. The father got angry and chased him.” The police officer quickly stood up and reported with a respectful attitude. It was clear that these two people had some standing in the police station.
“They both weren’t injured, so we let them go. Officer Lance, the matter is settled.”
Aunt Violet also noticed the two approaching, and her face immediately brightened. She quickly said, “Jared didn’t start the trouble. It was their daughter who hit me, and he came to reprimand her. But who knew this old man would pull out a knife and try to kill someone? Officer, you have to help
us.”
Aunt Violet’s attempt to twist the truth was really despicable.
I coldly retorted, “I didn’t push you, and Jared had a dangerous weapon in his hand.”

“Where’s the dangerous weapon? He held the pole because your dad was trying to kill him, and he was just defending himself!” Aunt Violet continued to blur the truth.
Before I could say anything, I was rudely interrupted: “Whose knife is it? Holding a knife is obviously intended to kill someone; don’t you understand that it’s against the law to murder?”
The one speaking was the man known as Lance.
Lance picked up the knife and pointed it at the police officer, saying, “With such a serious matter, you let them go after just signing a piece of paper?”
“Well…” The police officer shrugged with a helpless tone. “But Jared initially…”
“Anyway, the weapon is here; we can’t release them!” Lance arrogantly pointed at Dad, “Detain him immediately!”
“And this one, lock her up too!” He was referring to me.
People who’d witnessed trials before had never seen one like this. My face turned icy, and I looked darkly at Lance and asked, “What’s the reason to detain me?”
“The old man clearly stated that you pushed someone and acted violently. How can we not detain you?” The man behind Lane chimed in.
The man had a pair of mustaches on his mouth and a face that naturally flattered others.
Aunt Violet smugly looked at the two men, thrilled by their actions.
As they approached me, I snorted disdainfully and wore a triumphant look on my raised face.
I’d already guessed that these two men were the ones Aunt Violet mentioned as “their own people.”
“Don’t keep them here; take them both in!” Lance’s companion impatiently waved his hand.
The police officers had no choice but to surround the two of us.
“Just wait a minute!” A clear voice suddenly sounded…
