Seeing that she was actually calling the police, the man finally changed his expression.

“W-wait!”

He gritted his teeth as he glared at Dawn and Cindy, looking like he wanted to eat them. “I’m a guy who can’t stand trouble. I’ll just call this a loss. Twenty thousand! I spent more than that on her already!”

Dawn glanced at the girl by the window.

Her expression was still disdainful, but she didn’t say anything.

“Fine, I’ll give it to you.”

Dawn transferred the money, and the man walked away, still grumbling. The people who had been watching the commotion saw that it was over and returned to their seats, looking a bit disappointed.

Cindy crossed her legs and looked at her with a smirk. “Why are you helping me? You don’t think I’m going to be grateful, do you?”

“You don’t have to be.”

Dawn said calmly, “Even if you were a stranger, I might still do the same.”

Cindy snorted but didn’t reply.

Dawn continued, “But from a biological standpoint, you’re my cousin. So if I see you in trouble, it’s my responsibility to look out for you. I don’t think you want to deal with me, so I’ll just call your dad directly.”

What?

Cindy froze, then snatched the phone from Dawn’s hand,

“Are

you a kid? First the police, now my dad! Don’t you have any other tricks?”

Dawn stayed silent, just watching her.

Cindy had never seen her look like that before. It wasn’t scary–after all, a 21–year–old girl wasn’t much different from her, nothing intimidating there.

But it wasn’t like she wasn’t intimidated.

There was definitely some presence about her.

“Okay, fine!” Cindy looked away, clearly annoyed. “If you’ve got questions, just ask. Don’t go bothering that old man!”

Dawn glanced at the phone in her hand, her meaning clear without a word.

Cindy rolled her eyes.

“Here, take it!”

Dawn glanced back at her table and said softly, “Come sit with us.”

“I …”

Cindy wanted to refuse, but Dawn’s threat was way too clear.

Damn it!

She gritted her teeth, kicked the table before walking over and taking Dawn’s seat.

Dawn followed behind, trying not to laugh.

She had acted like she was so tough, but she was just a paper tiger.

She sat down next to Janice with an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Janice. My cousin can be a handful. Please don’t mind her.”

Janice shrugged it off and helped herself with some food. “No worries. Just do what you want.”

The most relaxed person at the table was Cindy.

She had no regard for her image and put her feet right up on the sofa.

Dawn glanced at her but didn’t say anything to stop her. “Who was that man?”

“Why do you care?” Cindy shot back instinctively, then, seeing Dawn frown, reluctantly added, “Who knows? I didn’t remember his name.”

Dawn was dumbfounded.

She really didn’t give a damn.

“You went out shopping and ate with a guy you don’t know?”

“Why not? It’s the 21st century. He can’t just eat me, right?” Cindy snorted, grabbing a cucumber slice to munch on. “Besides, he’s the one who asked me out; it’s not like I was begging him.”

Dawn nodded. “How’d you meet him?”

“At a bar.”

Yeah, it has to be that kind of place.

Dawn wanted to say something, but thinking about the times she’d done similar stuff, she couldn’t bring herself to.

She licked her lips. “Next time, don’t go out with someone you don’t know. He doesn’t know where you live, right?”

“I’m not that stupid—”

Cindy clicked her tongue impatiently.

“Dawn, seriously, chill. Are you checking IDs? You really think you’re my cousin?”

After all, this was only the second time she’d met this woman. They barely had any connection, no real bond. Talking about family bonds was just ridiculous. Why should she be controlled?

Dawn was silent for a moment, then let out a soft laugh.

“Maybe I’m just bored.”

She probably had so little family that she cherished their current blood ties, even though their last meeting was far from great.

Janice had heard enough. She couldn’t hold back. “If your cousin hadn’t stepped in, that guy would have given you a hard time. You should at least thank her instead of being so rude. Is this how your parents raised you?”

Cindy’s smile was sarcastic. “Oh, look, another busybody.”

Janice said nothing.

“My dad doesn’t love me, and my mom doesn’t either. No one taught me anything, so I guess I’m ill–mannered. Sorry.”

She apologized, but her expression was completely unapologetic.
