“You’ve got some guts to be roaming the streets like this, huh? Do you know you’re like a big juicy steak to those
people? They could rip even your underwear off you with your outfit!”
Neil paused and could not help chuckling.
“Is it so serious?”
Aurelia looked dead serious. “Isn’t Fredric’s encounter enough for you to keep your guard up?”
“But it was nighttime when that happened to him—”
“Uncle.” The girl crossed her arms in front of herself. “Nobody cares if it’s day or night when they commit crimes
on this street!”
“What!?” Neil was in disbelief.
He was not shocked about the crimes, but the term of address she had chosen—“uncle”!

What did she address Fredric? Fredric!
What? Did he look so old to her that she had to call him uncle?
Neil’s gaze darkened significantly as he tightened his fists.
Aurelia observed his expression carefully and noted that he seemed upset. True, it would be weird if he was happy
when an affluent man like him was in the slums!
She scratched her head and asked softly, “Uncle, are you here for me today? Fredric’s okay, right?
“I… I know that I was in the wrong. I shouldn’t have kept him in the basement for days, but I’ve saved his life at
least. You won’t insist on blaming me, right?
“Uncle…” Aurelia pouted, looking pitiful. “I really have no money if you want compensation from me… But I can
work if you want. I can do anything. Just as long as you don’t report me to the police. I… If I get deported, I really
don’t know where to go!”
Neil was scowling in silence.
Aurelia’s heart lurched. Sh*t! She had found the man odd in the hospital the other day. He looked rich and was
always acting high and mighty, incredibly hating people like her.
He would not really do anything to her now, would he?
“Uncle…” she tugged his sleeve as she called softly, “Uncle? A-Are you listening to me?”
Neil turned to her slowly, dark clouds gathering in his eyes with a storm brewing.
Uncle, uncle, uncle! Was this girl done!?
He was a popular celebrity back in the country—an award-winning actor and one of the best-looking faces
acknowledged in showbiz! Why did everything change here?

He could take it that he had lost Trinity to Fredric, but to lose to him in terms of address? It felt like an insult!
Aurelia jolted when she met his death glare. Her sixth sense was telling her that something was not right. She
blinked, and her heart was thumping rapidly. She thought it was better to avoid this explosive man first.
Hence, she bit her lips and backed off slowly. Neil grabbed her by the back of her neck as she was about to turn and
flee!
The tall actor had long limbs, and Aurelia was petite. She was thoroughly defenseless in front of the muscular man.
“Hey, you… let me go! Let go! Let’s talk about this!”
She flailed like a kitten and was pulled to Neil swiftly, crashing into the muscular and warm chest again.
It was just that the face was far colder than the chest… Neil’s absolute advantage in height felt pressuring.
Aurelia looked at him silently and shrank a little in his arms, not daring to move. She winced.
“Uh… what is it?”
Neil scoffed and dragged her out of the alley by her arm to shove her into the car without any word.
