I didn't tell my mother about Eve Raphael's appearance.

I didn't want her to worry. I just told her that it wasn't safe recently and asked her to go out less.

At the same time, I called the police.

But the reply I got was that they couldn't do anything without substantial evidence of harm.

Moreover, he was still my father.

The phone on the table vibrated. It was a text message from Eve Raphael.

[Vena, do you think you can hide from me and I won't be able to find you and your mother?]

[If you piss me off, it won't just be a text message.]

[Your mother is old. She's suffered so many beatings to protect you before. You don't want her to be scared again, do you?]

[I know you have money. Give me five hundred thousand. After I pay off my gambling debts, I promise I won't bother you anymore.]

[I'm still your father after all. You can't bear to see me have my hand chopped off, right?]

Of course, I didn't believe Eve Raphael's nonsense.

If he could extort me once, he could do it again.

So, I had to come up with a way to solve the problem once and for all.

After thinking for a long time, I typed out an address.

[Meet me here tomorrow night. I'll bring the cash.]

The sun was setting, and it was almost time to meet Eve Raphael.

I changed into unassuming clothes and carried a suitcase out of the house.

When I got to the alley, Eve Raphael was already there.

He was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw me, his eyes lit up.

I threw the suitcase on the ground.

With a heavy thud, stacks of cash fell out of the suitcase.

Eve Raphael quickly knelt down to pick it up.

The streetlights in this alley were in disrepair and only emitted a hazy light.

Even so, it was still enough to illuminate the greed in Eve Raphael's eyes.

" Dad knew you could do it. With this money, I'll definitely make a comeback. "

Eve Raphael counted the money one by one, his face glowing with over - excited joy.

I watched him silently and let out a soft laugh.

Sure enough, this laugh caught Eve Raphael's attention.

He looked at me warily.

" What are you laughing at? "

" I'm laughing at how stupid you are. " I replied.

" Do you really think I'll let you control me? "

" Five hundred thousand. Just for extortion, it's enough to put you in big trouble. "

I said it casually, but Eve Raphael's face changed instantly.

He tried to bluff, his voice trembling as he shouted at me.

" I'm your father! It's only natural for you to give me money. "

I remained calm and continued to provoke Eve Raphael.

" Really? Save that excuse for the police later. "

Eve Raphael gritted his teeth, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

" You little bitch, you even dared to call the police? "

" I should have beaten you to death back then. "

There was a crazy look in his eyes.

I knew Eve Raphael had gone crazy.
