Love Unspoken

Alexander was not someone he could afford to offend.

When Orion mentioned the word 'wife,' Alexander's expression darkened even more. The man thought Alexander was angry, causing him to shrink back in fear. Alexander spoke, "So, how do you plan to solve thisr?"

The man's face paled. After a moment of contemplation, he seized his son and demanded sternly, "Both of you, speak the truth. What's happening?! If you dare to lie, I'll spank your bottoms."

The child, unable to comprehend the situation, simply feared punishment and stubbornly denied taking the toy. The plump child pointed at Quinn, claiming, "She took my things and pushed me. She started it!" Another one chimed in, "Yes, she was the one threatening us. And given her size, how could we have possibly taken anything from her?"

Some children often exploit their youth, speaking against their conscience because many believe children are innocent and incapable of lying.

Quinn heard the words but was unable to respond. Standing beside Alexander, she shook her head, waved the doll in her hand, and pointed to herself, attempting to convey that the toy belonged to her.

The man said, "You all heard it. She bullied my son first. Mr. Kennedy, just because you have money doesn't mean you can bully people unreasonably, right?"

It had to be said that this man, being a shopkeeper, was highly skilled at winning people over.

Before, he accused Quinn of being involved in human trafficking when he hit someone. Now, with Alexander's arrival, he resorted to moral blackmail, provoking resentment towards the wealthy from the bystanders. When Alexander heard this, he chuckled. But there was no amusement in his eyes.

He looked at the man indifferently. "Since you put it that way, there's no need for me to reason with you."

The man hesitated, staring at him warily. "What are you going to do?"

Alexander tilted his head slightly and glanced at Kyle.

Kyle immediately understood, took a step forward, and grabbed a child.

The man was shocked. "What are you doing? Let go of my son!"

Alexander said, "Didn't you say we bully people without reason? If we don't bully a bit, how can we justify your accusations against us?"

With a sudden burst of urgency, the man lunged forward, determined to retrieve his two sons. However, before he could even reach them, he was swiftly sent flying by a kick from Kyle.

As he sat on the ground, he looked up and witnessed Kyle slapping the chubby boy.

Kyle asked the chubby child. "Did she bully you?"

The chubby boy was slapped, causing him to cry out loudly, ignoring Kyle's words completely.

Kyle raised his hand again. "Be quiet!"

The boy immediately silenced himself, no longer daring to cry, though tears continued to flow down his face.

Kyle asked again, "Tell everyone, did she bully you?"

The chubby boy looked cautiously at Kyle's hand and shook his head quickly. The man on the ground could no longer contain his emotions. He spoke up indignantly, "He's just a kid! It's excessive to resort to beating him like this! Have you completely disregarded all laws and decency?"

Alexander raised an eyebrow, "Compared to your accusation of them being human traffickers, I think this slap is too light."

Alexander's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Compared to your false accusation of them being human traffickers, I think this slap was too light."

"You!" The man's forehead pulsed with visible veins, his hands clenched so tightly that they made a cracking noise. "What exactly do you want?" "Apologize on your knees," Alexander replied.
