Chapter 656 - Roxanne Copley (1)

Hearing a loud slap in the room, Collin stood at the door and hesitated. He unconsciously stepped into the room before the two men at the door stopped him.

The whole room seemed to have been ransacked with all kinds of things lying on the floor. In the middle of the room stood a middle-aged woman. She was wearing a fashionable LV dress and high heels. If it were not for her old face, people would believe that she was the same age as Roxy.

Roxy sat on the floor. Her hair was in a mess in front of her face. Her expression could not be seen, but it was obvious that the slap just now was on her face.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup looked at him. She said with her big red lips and smiled, "Hi, boy? Are you rich?" She took a few steps towards Collin, "Wow, you wear a good watch, you must be a rich man."

Collin ignored her and turned to look at Roxy on the floor. She seemed to have sensed his arrival and slowly stood up from the ground. She was really thin. She raised her slender wrist and wiped the corner of her mouth. There was a trace of blood on the back of her hand. She casually combed her hair as if she did not see the blood, revealing half of her face with long red fingerprints.

She looked at Collin and said after a long time, "Sorry, I don't have money to pay the rent today. Can I can it to you next month?"

Collin was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was drawing a clear line between him and her.

There were finally other emotions in her usually empty eyes. Collin looked into her eyes and only saw darkness and despair that seemed to drag people into a black hole.

"Is he your landlord?" The middle-aged woman looked at Collin suspiciously. "So young?"

"So what?" Collin glanced at her.

The middle-aged woman laughed exaggeratedly, "Do you like my daughter? Sure, give me two million. You can sleep with her as long as you want."

There was no expression on Roxy's face, but she looked at that woman with disdain.

Collin looked around the house and said to the middle-aged woman, "You are her mother?" Sure, you can pay for the broken things here. The contract clearly regulated that the things in the house cannot be destroyed. Now that you destroyed them and breached the contract, I won't rent the house to you anymore. You have to pay for the damages. In addition to the rent for last month, the total sum of money is five million. Just give me fifty thousand."

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment. "You asked me for money? She rented this place. You should ask her for money, " She seemed to sneer, "What a joke. I don't live here. Why do you ask me for money?"

"There is a surveillance camera installed in the room. You were the one who smashed the thing. As long as I take the surveillance video to the court and sue you for trespassing and destroying items worth more than 10,000... According to the two hundred and forty-fifth rule of criminal law, those who illegally invaded other people's residence will be sentenced to prison for three years or less, and you will be charged with the crime of destroying items. Not only will you be imprisoned, but you will also have to compensate. After I appeal, you may pay more than fifty thousand."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be intimidated. She looked suspiciously at the two men at the door. One of them quickly turned on his phone and seemed to be checking whether Collin was telling the truth.

Collin adjusted his glasses and glanced at Roxy on the side, "Oh right, I have to add a crime of intentional injury. According to the number 234 of the criminal law, if someone deliberately harms others, he will be sentenced to prison for three years or below."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged woman and revealed a seemingly gentle smile, "How is it? Are you going to compensate or wait for the court's leaflets? Accumulating these penalties can make you stay in prison for five years."

The middle-aged woman was about to speak when the man at the door rushed over and whispered, "That's true. The law he said is also true ... Maybe he is a lawyer."

Collin smiled. He really wasn't a lawyer. He just knew a person who was a lawyer. His colleagues in the hospital had been in trouble before, and he had helped him to consult Jaquan. There were only a few laws, so he had already memorized them.

"I don't have any money! How dare you sue me? Aren't you afraid that I'll take all your scandals out of you? If you are afraid of it, tell him that you'll pay for it!" The middle-aged woman glared at her fiercely, "I'll settle this with you later!"

"Let's go!" She angrily glanced at Collin before leading the two men to the door.

"Don't go, I've already called the police," Collin shouted.

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she shouted at the Roxy in the door, "Roxanne Copley! If I'm caught by the police, I'll tell the world about your previous scandal! Let them all know what disgusting things you've done before!"

After she finished shouting, she stopped taking the elevator and rushed directly to the safe passage. The two men behind her were probably here to cheer for her and glared at them fiercely before leaving.

The security guard at the door quickly came in and asked, "What happened? I asked them to write a registration when they went in but they refused. They said that they were looking for you. Moreover, she said that she was your mother, so we didn't dare to stop her. I didn't know... How could this happen?"

The whole room was smashed into pieces. People who lived downstairs heard the noise and were so scared that they quickly called the security guards to take a look. This was what Collin saw when he walked out of the elevator.

"No," Roxy said with a hoarse voice.

"What?" The security guard did not understand, "What do you mean?"

Roxy looked at him and said with a smile, "She's not my mother."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I ... I will never let her in again." After the security guard finished speaking, the pager on his waist rang. It was the captain of the security guard who shouted. He said that someone downstairs was going to drive out and let him go.

The security guard responded and apologized to Roxy repeatedly, then trotted out.

After the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room, Collin and Roxy. The room was in a mess. Roxy threw the things on the sofa to the ground and then sat on it. A moment later, she looked at Collin and said, "Go home."

Logically speaking, if Collin helped her solve the problem, she should at least be nice to him and talk to him gently. However, he never expected that she treated him with such a bad attitude.

Collin stood for a while and asked an irrelevant question, "So your name is Roxanne Copley?"

Roxy looked back at him sadly. Her face had swelled up after a while.

"You saw it and heard it," she asked disappointedly, "Why are you still here?"

Collin did not know what was the relation between the two. Moreover, he had seen too many melodramatic family dramas in the hospital. This was really nothing. However, it was difficult for him to connect Roxy with this kind of scene in his heart. It seemed that the appearance of the middle-aged woman just now had revealed some of her scars. She had tried to piece it together for a long time, but she could not recover it and become strong again. She still revealed her weakness.

Collin went into the bathroom to get a towel, then opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of iced beverage from inside. He wrapped the iced beverage with a towel and handed it to Roxy.

Roxy looked at him and did not move.

Collin sighed softly, "Your face was just average, and now it's worse when it's swollen. You should use this."

Roxy did not speak. Instead, she obediently took the towel and placed it on her swollen face. The cold air from the towel spread to her red and swollen face, relieving the burning pain.. She maintained the same posture and sat there motionless until someone knocked on the door.
