Chapter 264: Be Partial To Her

Most of the people living in this neighborhood were old.They liked to watch the fun.

As soon as they heard the commotion, they walked over and surrounded Eris and the men.

"Fuck!" The man with a scar on his face cursed as he grabbed Eris by the neck.

"Damn it! Shame on you!"

His plan was to corner Eris here.

With all the scandals she had been involved with, he thought she wouldn't risk calling for help that
might attract reporters.

But right now, Eris no longer cared about it.

‘Humph! Dignity? What's that? I only care about money now! The apartment that Brian gave me isn't
known yet to the public.That's my only choice since the only thing I could turn into cash is my parents’
apartment!’

When Eris saw the crowd starting to accumulate, she was filled with joy.

"These people are harassing and blackmailing me.Help! Someone call the police!"

Since her face was often on TV, the crowd was able to recognize her easily.

"Wow! I feel like I've seen her before.Who is she?"

"That's Eris!"

"Yes, yes.She's Eris, Ruben's daughter!"

"Didn't the media say that she disappeared? Why is she here?"



"She has a bad reputation.She's not a decent person."

Eris couldn't believe what they were saying about her.Her face darkened.

She bit her lip and pleaded, "Yes, I'm Eris! I'm being blackmailed.Can someone help me and call the
police?"

There were murmurs in the crowd.

When the crowd finally spotted the man with a scar on his face, they all seemed terrified.

The man's face registered as unfriendly and frightening to all of them.But it didn't take long for initial
fear to subside.

They took out their phones, about to call the police.

"Fuck!"

Filled with rage, the man with a scar slapped Eris sharply across her face.

"Ah!"

Eris screamed in pain.

"Bitch, your father owes me money.But now that he's in jail, you're rejecting to pay his debts?"

"Shut up!" Eris shouted.

"It's only right for you to pay back the money your father owes me.Don't play this trick on me, it won't
work!"

Eris gritted her teeth.



At this moment, more and more people were starting to gather.

The reporters, as soon as they heard Eris’ name, also joined the thickening crowd.

Since they had been waiting for her for such a long time, they wouldn't miss the chance to catch her.

And when they finally saw her in the flesh, their eyes lit up.

They began to rush and surround her, making sure there was no way she could run past them.

The flashes from the cameras began to blind Eris, forcing her to cover her face with her hands.The
reporters weren't as polite with her as before.

They shoved the microphones they were holding towards Eris, just inches away from her face.

"Eris, you finally showed up! Is what that man said true?"

"Of course!" the man with a scar answered.

"Ruben loves her so much that he even transferred the ownership of his apartment to her.Since she
has inherited her father's property, it's only right that she has to pay his debt! Am I wrong for
demanding that she pay up?"

As he spoke, the man handed the property ownership certificate to the reporter.

"Look.We've been waiting here ever since Ruben was caught.I know it's not appropriate for us to be
rude, but we have no choice.We just want to get our money.Like you, we've also been waiting for Eris
to appear.But not only did she refuse to pay us, she also called the police to arrest us.She even lied by
saying that we're blackmailing her!"

The crowd began to murmur once again.



The people who said they were going to call the police &125; put away their phones.

When the reporters saw the property ownership certificate, their eyes gleamed with excitement.

They all pointed their microphones at Eris.

"Eris! You said before that you grew up without a father and had never enjoyed a father's love.But
Wendy has proved that you are indeed Ruben's biological daughter.Not only that, but your neighbors
are also claiming that he loves you very much.And now, Ruben has transferred his apartment .to your
name.Eris, were you just pretending to be pitiful in order to win the public's sympathy?"

"This morning, Brian said in an interview that he had broken up with you.Is it because he has found out
your real character?"

"Starlight Media has also released an_ official announcement, saying that you are now banished from
the filming industry. What do you have to say about that?"

"Eris, you've done so many bad things.Do you think you deserve to be punished?"

One by one, the reporters relentlessly asked their questions.

They kept pushing her back that she was forced to retreat against a wall.

Under the lights of the camera, she shook her head.

"No, it's not like that..."

"Then what's the truth? Please explain to us."

"hob After a while, one reporter sneered.

"Do you have nothing to say now?"



"To"

Eris was pushed back even further and was backed into a corner.

Now, it wasn't only reporters who had their cameras on her, but the neighbors as well with their phones
in their hands.

There were even some young people who started live- streaming what was happening to the internet.

Once he noticed how cornered Eris was, the man with a scar snorted and put away the IOU.

"Eris, for the sake of everyone here, I'll Let you go.But I'm not that easy to fool.You have to pay off your
debt of one million within five days.Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Then he strode away together with the other men.

Five minutes later, they were hiding behind another building.

They all craned their necks and peeked at Eris.

They got so excited and they didn't look frightening anymore.

The man with a scar rubbed his chin and was deep in thought.

"Guys, how was my acting just now?" he asked.

One man gave him a thumbs-up sigh.

"Your acting deserved an Oscar award!"

"You looked like you were the boss of the underworld gang just now!" another one added.



The man with a scar couldn't help but feel flattered as the compliments rained on him.

With a proud face, he raised his chin and said, "Of course! Ever since I was young, I've always wanted
to be an actor."

"Eris really is a miserable bitch!"

"She deserves it! It's all her fault.She offended Mr.Luke! Mr.Luke is famous for being a good-natured
person.His only flaws are that he likes to gossip and is a playboy! Since she offended Mr.Luke, she
must not be a very good person!"

The other men nodded.

All these, they did for Luke.Luke had forced Ruben to write the IOU.

"Do you think that Eris will be able to pay the money back within five days?"

"Don't be stupid.Do you really think Mr.Luke wants that one million? No! He only wants to ruin Eris’
reputation!"

And indeed, this was exactly what Luke wanted.And the reason why he did it was simple.

Eris and her parents were so stupid that they wanted to hurt Wendy.

They didn't know that all this time, Luke had already regarded Wendy as his sister-in-law.

Besides, Ryan was the type of person who was partial to people he liked.
