Chapter 557 - Family Intervention (7)

1 June, Matthew's Villa, City K

Sarah watched Monica and Jessica walk away. The moment the two of them had seen Warren Gong walk in, they told her exactly who he was, and that if he approached the three of them, they would be getting away from him as soon as possible and told her she should do the same. When they told her that he was the head of the Gong Cartel, she shivered. Growing up where she did, criminal gangs were always present around her, but she remembered during her teenage years a war started by a local gang that decided to challenge one of the top criminal organisations in the country, the Gong Cartel. In one swoop, using violence, the Gong Cartel wiped out the local gang, yes restoring a more peaceful existence in the neighbourhood, but at such a large cost, including her two young cousins who were caught in the crossfire simply coming home from school.

Here in front of her was the man, responsible for the carnage that caused their deaths. How she wanted to kill him for the hurt he caused her family, but that would achieve nothing in the end. Unlike her friends, the one thing that she was not willing to do was to leave Dominic here alone with this man. She needed to get him away from him, so he would be safe.

Sarah said "Dominic, how about you go and annoy your Uncle Andrew for a couple of minutes. He and your Aunty Sally seem angry at each other."

"Aunty Sarah, who cares about him. He deserves Aunty Sally being angry with him…"

Sarah, wanting to put her hands on her h.i.p.s and get truly angry with Dominic restrained herself before saying "That is not nice Dominic…"

"Well, I heard him tell Aunty Sally when they arrived, he did not know why they had to come, and she turned and told him that he needed to be nice to people, before he said to her that she should do what she told him to do. She then said, that was different because Uncle John lied to her and not like this situation. He yelled at her, so he deserves it."

Sarah stunned for a few seconds did not know how to properly respond. She heard that argument when they had arrived but believed Dominic had not. Children's logic was funny at times, and possibly the argument between Andrew Yao and his wife was deserved.

Dominic looked at his Aunty Sarah, and seeing the look on her face, quietly said "You want me to go away and talk to someone else, is that right Aunty Sarah?"

"…?" All Sarah could do is stand there mouth open.

Dominic taking the opportunity, said "Uncle Warren, I think Aunty Sarah wants to talk to you, and she is telling me to go and annoy someone else…"

Finally gathering her thoughts, Sarah laughed before saying "Dominic…!"

After being put down on the ground by Warren, Dominic called out "Talk to you later Aunty Sarah," before running off.

When he was out of earshot, Sarah turned and said, "I know who you are, but why in the hell are you here?"

"Warren, not sure who this aggressive woman in front of him was asked "You are?"

"Sarah Dang, the wife of one of General Rong's close military friends. Why in the world he would have a criminal." Sarah shook her head before continuing "like you in his home. Get the hell out of here and away from Dominic. He does not need someone like you in his life."

Warren's eyes opened wide. Yes, he knew his background was in illegal activities, but he had never been caught, so labelling him a criminal was wrong. But what in the world had he done to this woman, for her to be as aggressive as she was towards him. He had no idea.

"Mrs Dang, I have no idea what you have against me, but let me just say Matthew and Lexi trust me enough to be around Dominic. I love him and view him as family. Due to that they know when it comes to Dominic I will not stand by and see him in pain. For that reason, they know that I will not deliberately hurt him. Yet, since I have been here, the number of people I have seen ready to attack me for being here for him…"

"Yet you are quite willing to harm and kill other people's children. Some hypocrite you are."

"I have no idea what I have done to you." Warren paused and took a step closer towards Sarah, before dropping his voice adding "But I will make it clear to you. Take it as a promise, or a threat if you will. Keep going, you will hurt Dominic, and that crosses a line that I will not accept. You will pay for that."

Sarah looked directly at Warren before angrily retorting, "Yet you do not care about your own actions hurting other families, like mine. As I said hypocrite."

Sarah took a step further towards Warren before saying "But let me tell you, Dominic and the other children's presence is the only thing restraining me from telling you what I think about you. You do anything while you are here that upsets any of them in any way, watch out for me. But do not think I will not see you and those associated with you pay for what you did to my family, simply for your need to control what you and your so-called associates believe is yours to control."

Sarah turned and moved away quickly before reaching where Joseph, Ben and David were standing. David turned to his wife and quietly said "You handled that well, I thought you would have killed him."

"For what he did, and his cartel did to my little cousins, I want to. But I know I cannot prove a thing, so their deaths continue to simply be two of those deaths caught in a turf war by criminal organisations, with no one ever being held responsible." Sarah shook her head and said "I jut do not know why Matthew and Lexi let someone like him into their home."

David looked at Ben and Joseph, before saying "Apparently, he is the maternal uncle of that b*stard Richard Yao, who did everything we heard in the news about Lexi's so-called marriage, and with everything going on they want someone who knows his side of everything…"
