Chapter 1218: They Were Neighbours (part one)

"It's your fault for parking in the wrong spot. What? Do you think you did it right?" Obviously, the woman didn't agree with Leena at all. So she shouted again, just in case she wasn't heard by others.

Look, I was wrong, I apologized. I even offered to pay you. What more do you want?" Leena never thought this woman would come barging into her house, so she felt sorry for Kevin. He worked his butt off on base. He came home to relax, and what did he find? This horrible woman and her gang of idiots.

"Yeah, you admitted you were wrong, so what? Apology not accepted! That's why there are cops." How the woman wished that she could go and scratch Leena's milky white beautiful face again to see how she liked being ugly. Yeah, she was young and pretty, but that didn't mean she should flaunt it. Shallow women always hated beautiful women. And that was the situation Leena was facing now.

So what? You think you're a cop now? I should call the cops on you. You broke into my house!" Leena sneered at her. Leena hated bullies, and wasn't about to let this bully win, no matter how many men she had with her. It went against everything she believed in.

"Yeah I did. And I have every right to, just like I have every right to burn this place to the ground for you playing Miss high-and-mighty. What do you say to that?" The woman didn't take Leena's threat seriously. Instead, she just got even more aggressive. She only respected strength, and didn't believe Leena had the strength to bully her.

Leena giggled mirthlessly. "Yeah right. My house, my rules. And right now my rules say you're not allowed in here. I worked hard on this place, so you won't touch it. Get out. Now." Kevin was a soldier and it was inappropriate for him to hit others. He might be charged with bullying a civilian. But Leena was a different matter. If she hit someone, there might be consequences, but it wouldn't tank her career. And right now, as she balled her fists, she was close to hitting this harridan.

Huhm! Who do you think you are, bitch? You can't stop me! And --" She was interrupted mid-sentence by a loud slap, and her head lolled from the impact. And who did this? Kevin! He didn't like hitting others, but this time he lost it. His rage was white hot.

"I never hit women, but in your case I'll make an exception. You deserved that for the crap that spews out of your mouth!" Kevin had put up with her for a long time. Now he reached his limit. He was a soldier, true, but that didn't mean he had to listen to this bitch insult his wife!

The woman recovered, shaking her head. You could see the red handprint on her face, a sign of Kevin's handiwork. "Help! He hit me! Look at my face! He's going to kill me!" The woman raised her voice and screamed loudly. She obviously did not connect Kevin's uniform to anything meaningful.

Leena stared at Kevin in shock. He hit her! As a soldier, that was a bad thing. Rumors and charges were the kiss of death for a soldier's career.

"Come off it! You basically forced your way in, you deserved that, and you cry for help? Get out!" Belinda teased. She could not agree with Kevin's behavior more. Everyone was in a better mood now. There was only one way to deal with a crazy woman like that. Otherwise, she'd run around bullying everyone, and there'd be no one to stop her.

Leave now, and take your men with you," Kevin said, "and you'll be good. Stay, and you won't leave this house under your own power. You'll need a stretcher." Kevin didn't regret hitting that woman at all. Most of the time, military leaders got embroiled in scandals like this because of their families. That was why some people had a bad impression of the military.

"Are you kidding me? Do you know who my husband is? You're just a soldier. A nobody." The woman failed to take Leena out, now Kevin slapped her. This humiliation was just too much. So she just continued to rant.

"Well, you got me there. I don't know. So who is he?" Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked. She was so arrogant that he had to be someone important. She wouldn't be acting like this if she thought she had to face consequences.

"Want to know who he is? Hum! You're just a soldier, you don't have a right to know. But since you asked, I'll be nice and tell you. But just be careful. Don't get scared, but when you know who he is you'll know how I can screw up your lives just by asking him," the woman said mysteriously. It was like she was narrating a crime drama, with her husband as the lead actor.

"Just spit it out. Quit assuming we can't know him. Who is it?" Belinda was really upset about this. That woman kept insisting that her husband was an imposing figure over and over but she wouldn't reveal his name. That was the key!

"Huh! You little shits! My husband is -- the deputy director of the State Taxation Administration!" The woman said and raised her chin like she was the queen at the same time. She glanced at Kevin and the others with scornful eyes.

Oh, it's him. I thought this guy was big news." Belinda raised an eyebrow. If she rattled off another title she probably wouldn't have known him. But she could not be more familiar with the State Taxation Administration. She was a business woman after all and had close ties with the tax department. The deputy director of the State Taxation Administration was a gentleman. Quite unlike this madwoman before them now. Boy, did he marry the wrong woman!

"Y'know, I think we're neighbors. Well, in that case, we can deal with this thing more easily," Kevin said and walked over to the coffee table. He picked up his phone, checked the contact list quickly, and tapped one number. Then he pressed "send," said something over the phone in a low voice, and hung up.
