"He's the scammer who took my medical book."

Sandra's scream rang out in the entire junkyard. Felix Harrison, the owner of the junkyard, turned around and spotted Sandra. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his usual demeanor and acted like Sandra wasn't there. Then, he turned his attention back to the old folks. "Do you have any more medical books? If they are worth something, I'll give you a fair price."

Felix pretended that he didn't hear Sandra and went on with his business. Meanwhile, the old people gazed at Sandra with a skeptical look before going back to selling their medical books. Seeing Felix act like nothing had happened, Matthew turned to Sandra again for confirmation. "Are you sure he bought your medical book?"

Sandra pointed at Felix, who was minding his own business. She shouted even louder than before, "That's the guy who scammed me out of my medical book! I'm sure I've got the right person." Felix tossed the old books he was holding on the ground and moved around the old people to storm up to Sandra. His anger was evident as he confronted Sandra.

"You keep claiming I swindle your medical book. What makes you think I did?"

Sandra raised her voice and jabbed her finger at Felix. "The medical book was worth 100 million dollars, but you bought it from me for just 10 thousand dollars. If you're not a scammer, then who is?" 100 million dollars? Felix was taken aback for a moment but scoffed. "100 million dollars, huh? You must be nuts. That's a ridiculous price for an old medical book. That's hilarious." Sandra extended her hand. "Give me back my medical book."

Felix coldly grunted. "I paid 10 thousand dollars for that book. Why on earth should I give it back?"

Sandra clenched her teeth in exasperation. "I'll return the 10 thousand dollars to you, but you better give me back that book. If you don't, we're not done here."

Felix was ticked off. "I bought the book, so why should I hand it back to you?"

Upon hearing that, Sandra stomped her foot. "You're just a lowly junk collector. Look at how filthy you are. You disgust me!

"I'm warning you. If you don't return my book, you can forget about doing any business today."noveldrama

Felix was so worked up that he started shaking. "What's wrong with being a junk collector? So what if I'm all filthy? I run an honest business here, and I don't steal or rob anyone. "If you find me so repulsive, then just get lost. Stay away from here! Get out! Who are you to judge my business?"

As Sandra was about to keep running her mouth, Matthew cut her off. "Enough! Stop fussing. We need to track down who bought the book, and I'll take care of it."

Matthew couldn't stand the way Sandra put her words. It was way too harsh and unpleasant for him. Matthew had been to prison before, so he had met all kinds of people inside. One of the inmates was a coal miner. After someone on the bus kept pestering him about his filthy clothes, he got so mad that he ended up killing the passenger.

Another inmate was a farm worker. When his boss wouldn't pay him, he took his anger out on the boss and torched his house.

Then, there was the story of a

scavenger being sent into prison He found a phone, and the owner falsely accused him of stealing it. He got so pissed off that he assaulted the owner. en

A good Samaritan also ended up in prison. After helping an old person up, he realized he'd been scammed He lost his temper and turned the person into a cripple. Worse yet, there had been cases where the pedestrians mocked the beggar, escalating it to a bloody conflict.

The point was that snide remarks could really hurt. Even though Sandra came with Matthew to get the book back, he didn't want to hear any more from her.

Sandra quickly protested. "No way! It was my book that got sold. I have to get it back! If you're looking to buy the book, you need to buy it from me."

Feeling speechless, Matthew narrowed his eyes as he stared at Sandra. Sandra actually deemed Reane's book as hers. It looked like she had set her sights on the 100 million dollars. Donna chimed in as well. "Mom sold the book, so she's the rightful owner. She should be the one to buy it back."

Matthew figured these two fools were eyeing the book, so he backed away. "Suit yourself then."

Next to Matthew, Renae stepped forward. "That's my book, Mom. All you had to do was bring me here. I'll figure out how to get the book back myself. You can go home now." Sandra glared at Renae. "What do you mean it's your book? You're my daughter. Everything you own is mine. Don't say another word."

Sandra dismissed Renae and turned to Felix, demanding the medical book again.

Renae approached Matthew and asked, "What do we do? I didn't know it would turn out like this."

Matthew pointed at the car parked outside the junkyard. "Head back to the car. I'll deal with this. You don't have to get involved."

Renae hesitated for a moment. She

wanted to lend a hand to Matthew, but she figured she'd be in the way because Sandra was around. So, she spun on her heels and walked toward the entrance of the junkyard.

Matthew crossed his arms as he watched Sandra arguing with Felix. As things dragged on, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Sandra was getting more and more rude with her comments. She might end up pissing off Felix.
