Chapter 1534: Chapter 1506: Clearly Nothing Decent
Robert Johnson ’Father’ shivered in fear at the roar of the lioness.
When he turned around, he saw Kiara’s mother holding a small aluminum foil bag, her hand shaking with anger, as if she might burst into tears any minute.
Fortunately, only the old couple and the cute baby were home—the children were not.
Robert Johnson ’Father’ hurriedly explained, "Don’t be upset, look at what it really is!"
"I was once the captain of the sister-in-law team in the village, focusing on women’s birth control! How could I not recognize it? Isn’t this just a condom?"
As soon as Wendy heard the word, she concentrated and looked on.
It seemed vaguely familiar... Was it that thing Dad had hidden away?
Mario Yuno had hidden things that even Kiara couldn’t find, but that didn’t mean Wendy couldn’t. Wendy had a phase where her favorite thing to do was crawl all over the house, rummaging through anything she reached. Kiara didn’t stop her, and she had even instructed the young aunt at home not to stop her.
A baby will explore the world in this way at a certain stage, and there’s no need to stop them. If things get messy, you can simply clean up afterward.
At the moment, a battle was about to unfold between Robert Johnson ’Father’ and Kiara’s mother, who was still holding the item in question, fuming and ready to accuse. However, Robert Johnson ’Father’ found the situation amusing.
"That’s really not... it’s just a wet wipe. I had a bit of a drink today and was worried about getting car sick on the way back, so I grabbed one, and now it’s got you all worked up. If I had known this would happen, I might as well not have brought it."
"Wet wipe?" Kiara’s mother inspected it from all angles and finally saw a line of small print confirming it was indeed a wet wipe.
These things are designed to look exactly like that other thing, aluminum foil packets and all, right down to the color and brand. At a glance, it’s easy to get the wrong idea.
"Why on earth would they make a wet wipe look like this..." Kiara’s mother said disdainfully as she threw it in the trash bin, and Wendy, craning her neck to see, was promptly carried away by Kiara’s mother.
"Our little Wendy shouldn’t be looking at this, it’s clearly not a regular wet wipe."
Robert Johnson ’Father’ was also helpless, "I just asked them to get me one, who knew they would give me this kind."
Being slightly drunk and feeling unwell, he hadn’t the time to concern himself with such details. The products nowadays were all novel and special; older people really couldn’t keep up with them.
The couple treated the incident as a minor episode in life. With the misunderstanding cleared up, there was no harm done.
However, the little baby’s mind had already planted a seed of curiosity.
If Yuzo Joel knew how imaginative his child could be, he would surely regret having introduced logical thinking so early and would think twice about encouraging such independent thought in someone so young. Sometimes being too independent isn’t such a good thing...
While one side was playing with the baby, Kiara and Arlong had already driven to Flora Jim and her sister’s temporary residence in Linville.
Yena Jim had been staying there for a while, waiting for her sister to fully recover before making their next move. Arlong and Kiara initially didn’t agree with her living alone since she wasn’t even 15 yet. They wanted to take her to stay with Kiara’s mother for a few days, but the young girl firmly refused, likely not wanting to trouble Arlong; she insisted on renting an apartment on her own, her sensibility was heart-wrenching.
When Kiara arrived, Flora Jim and her sister were already waiting downstairs. Flora Jim looked healthier, her eyes no longer empty. After treatment, her demeanor had become much calmer and she was no longer as scheming as before. It seems that Yuzo Joel had also done quite a bit of psychological counseling while treating her, leading to her new insights about her relationship with Arlong.
Yena Jim hadn’t changed much, but Arlong noticed at first glance that her hands and face had some injuries.
"What happened to you? Who bullied you?" Arlong asked.
"It’s nothing... I, I just got scratched by a stray cat while feeding it," Yena Jim’s eyes darted away.
Cat scratches are different from human scratches, and besides, half the girl’s face was red as if she’d been hit by someone. But since she didn’t want to talk about it, Arlong couldn’t ask further. He felt a surge of anger inside and was determined to find out who did this and stand up for his little sister.
Kiara thought deeply after seeing this. She considered that maybe Yena had heard what others were saying about her sister, given that Flora Jim had many "regulars" in the city. It was possible she was confronted and insulted by someone on her way.
As the group was ready to get into the car, a few people approached from the other side, both men and women, carrying various sticks and weapons. They pointed in their direction, and Arlong was about to get out of the car.
Kiara stopped him, "There are more of them, you shouldn’t go over."
"I’ve never backed down from a fight—except to my brother-in-law!"
"With a car full of women, why are you trying to show off? Call your brother-in-law and let him deal with it."
Kiara wasn’t just worried about her brother; she was also concerned that these people would act violently in front of Flora Jim and provoke her.
Flora Jim had no idea what was going on, but Yena Jim looked visibly scared. Not wanting to upset Flora Jim, Kiara urged Arlong to leave quickly.
The people chased after them, but unable to keep up with the car, they resorted to shouting vicious curses from behind.
Arlong called Mario Yuno, who immediately sent people over. Kiara didn’t have to show up at all; she went straight to Yuzo Joel’s house.
Mario Yuno’s men caught the troublemakers and took them away for investigation on the charge of disturbing the peace. After the investigation was mostly completed, Mario Yuno called Kiara.
"Kiara, the situation has been clarified," he said.
At that moment, Kiara was discussing Flora Jim’s condition with Yuzo Joel. Everything was going well, and her illness was well-controlled. Seeing Camden’s call, Mrs. Kiara stepped outside with the receiver to answer.
"Why did the commotion happen?"
"Uh... it’s actually related to you."
"Me?!" Kiara was surprised it had anything to do with her, but as Mario Yuno explained, she began to understand.
It turned out that these people had nothing to do with Flora Jim; they were just a group of local bullies who would hang around places advertising legitimate foot therapy, barbershops, and the like, making a living by collecting protection money from the masseuses.
The house Yena Jim rented was in front of a row of such small establishments, which she passed by every day when buying groceries. Although these people were not decent, they usually did not cause trouble for the locals. However, today they happened to be discussing the yacht moored at Seaside which Yena overheard as she passed by.
The things they said were even more offensive than what Arlong had heard before. Humans, as social animals, love to exchange information that others don’t know, using this to show off their supposed omnipotence and seem well-informed. Especially these low-status individuals who always want to appear as if they know everything. To emphasize their "ability" to gather information, they claimed the yacht’s owner was a notorious leader from the brothel, and they boasted about having slept with her.
This kind of bragging is something many people could hear. Some people like to link themselves to important figures to make themselves seem less lowly. But when Yena heard this, she couldn’t stay quiet.
Kiara was their family’s benefactor, and Arlong had also mentioned to her where the yacht came from. The young girl always saw Kiara as an idol, hoping to be like her when she grew up. Hearing such distasteful talk, she became furious. Unable to hold back, she argued with them, even coming to blows.
A young girl was no match for ruffians, and after being beaten, she was afraid to speak out. She sneaked back home, not expecting those relentless troublemakers to show up at her doorstep, and just then, Mrs. Kiara happened to run into them...
