30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 539

---

Having lived half a lifetime, I've seen plenty of shameless people, but never anyone as utterly shameless as this. It's just beyond comprehension. And as for Henry, why on earth did he agree to such an unfair deal?

Seeing Devon's anger, the man wasn't upset. He just glanced at his crew and said, "Fellas, I've got to head to the hospital to see my folks. I'll leave this place in your hands."

"Remember, don't disturb the neighbors, don't damage anything in Mr. Devon's house, and let his family rest."

"Bro, don't worry! Even if we fart, we'll do it quietly, slowly, so as not to disturb Mr. Devon and Ms. Shania."

With that, the group of boys, their hair dyed and bodies tattooed, saw their 'brother' off.

After the man left, his crew was indeed well-behaved. They were quiet, did not even sit on the chairs in Leonora's house, all brought their own stools, busied themselves with their phones, ordered takeout when they were hungry, and didn't drink a drop of water from Leonora's place.

You could hardly accuse them of bothering you, as they were barely making a sound.

But with the house inside and out filled with people, Leonora and her parents couldn't rest at all.

As the clock struck past midnight, Shania paced back and forth in her bedroom restlessly. When she went to the dining room for a drink, one of the boys even politely expressed his surprise, "Ms. Shania, why are you still up so late? Did we disturb you? If so, I'll tell the guys to breathe even quieter."

"No, no," she replied, her politeness matching theirs.

For the next two days, these people took turns squatting at their home. Leonora had called the police, who, upon arrival, saw the men promptly grab their stools and leave. But as soon as the officers left, they returned.

The thing was, they weren't loud or destructive or even impolite, so it was difficult to justify detaining them.

After two visits and warnings from the police, the group stopped entering Leonora's home, opting instead to sit outside the door and in the hallways, making the neighbors too scared to even speak to Leonora's family.

That evening, the three of them sat at the dining table, the thought of a dozen people sitting right outside their door making them all incredibly agitated.

Leonora looked over the agreement left by the injured son, which demanded an initial payment of $120,000 from her parents, followed by monthly payments of $2,250 for medical and living expenses. She was furious.

A broken leg and two broken ribs, along with some superficial injuries, couldn't possibly cost $120,000, not to mention the ongoing monthly payments.

The injuries could all be taken care of with $45,000, tops.

This family was clearly trying to extort them, having already extracted $75,000 from her uncle and another $30,000 from her parents, and yet they were still not satisfied.

Bullies, each and every one of them.

Slamming the agreement on the table, Leonora was livid, feeling these people were even worse than Taylor, more bullying and oppressive.

After consulting with a lawyer, Leonora was told they could win the case, but dealing with the bullies at the door was tricky. They were slippery, easily escaping legal consequences only to return and squat at their doorstep again.

The most severe punishment wouldn't be severe enough since they hadn't done much, but they were a massive nuisance, disgusting and annoying.

And what Devon feared the most was this nuisance reaching the school, potentially leading to his suspension. He was already considering paying them off to avoid further trouble, a move Leonora had stopped.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford the payment; it just seemed foolish to give in to such blatant extortion. If they made it easy for these people now, they would only face more of such incidents in the future.

At the dining table, Devon said wearily, "I'm so rattled by their antics, I can't even remember clearly whether Henry's car actually hit them or how it all happened."

After days of mental torment, Devon was genuinely scared of these people.

Seeing this, Leonora calmly said, "The traffic police's verdict is already out. We'll just be responsible for our part. Besides, you weren't the one driving, Dad. Don't worry too much about it; we're already helping uncle."

Hearing this, Shania could only sigh in resignation.

Just when they thought they could have a better year, they encountered such trouble.

"If they really take this to school, I might get suspended," Devon fretted, worried about the potential escalation.

That was his biggest fear.
