Chapter 639

After the old man finished speaking, his trembling hands slowly pulled out a wad of money from his
pocket. When Crystal saw this, she immediately frowned. The old man has a lot of money. The fact that
these two people choose to swindle money from others even though they are not completely desperate
makes me despise this man even more.

Suddenly, the man reached out and stopped the old man. “Dad, what are you doing? Why are you
paying her? W-What did I do? Do you believe that I swindled money from others just because she said
so?” the man yelled.

Crystal was enraged. “How dare you say that you didn’t swindle money from others? This restaurant has
surveillance cameras. Why don’t we ask the owner to let us take a look? Or perhaps I should directly call
the police and let them handle it?”

The man was at a loss for words so he lowered his head and said nothing. When the old man saw this,
he immediately understood that what Crystal said was true. Heartbroken, he pointed at the man and
said, “Y-You really let me down! Is this how I raised you? Miss, I’m really sorry; this is all my fault. I have
money so I’ll pay you back. I’ll pay you back on his behalf…”

With that, the old man trembled as he pulled out his money again, but he was stopped by his son.
“Dad, you can’t give her your money! It’s money to save your life!”

Upon hearing that, the old man was infuriated. “If this money is collected by you swindling others bit by
bit, I… I’d rather die!”

After the old man finished speaking, he threw the wad of money and ran away angrily. Seeing this, the
man quickly picked up the money that was scattered on the ground in panic.

Crystal looked at the man in contempt and said, “Do you even have a conscience? Look how angry your
father is, yet you choose to pick up money from the ground rather than chasing after him!”



The man said nothing as he silently picked up all of the money. Then, he sat back down and continued to
eat his meal. Seeing this, Crystal was even more frustrated and she pointed at the man and scolded him.
It wasn’t until she said that she was about to call the police that Matthew finally came over to stop her.

“Enough. Is it necessary to call the police over a small matter like this?” Matthew said softly.



After Crystal heard this, she was even more agitated. “What’s the matter with you, Matthew? This is what
you call a small matter? You… You weren’t like this before! Oh—you only take care of things when it
involves people you know, but you don’t care when it has nothing to do with anyone you know! I was
really wrong to think that you’re a righteous hero. How can you be so selfish?”

The people around them started whispering in low voices, “This girl is really a heroine!”

“I agree. Not many girls would dare do what she did.”

“That man called Matthew is no match for her at all! He has no sense of responsibility and can’t even be
considered as a real man!”

The people in the restaurant kept ridiculing them, hoping that Crystal would directly give up on Matthew.
However, Matthew didn’t care. Instead, he waved his hand and commented, “Enough. Are you done with
your meal? If you’re done, let’s get back to work!”

Looking at the man who was still slurping mouthful after mouthful of noodles in front of her, Crystal felt
even more furious. “No. No matter what, I will solve this matter today! Your father has already left so why
are you still here? Don’t you feel ashamed at all? People like you should be sent to jail! I’ll call the police
right now!”



With that, Crystal angrily dialed the number and prepared to report the matter to the police. Seeing this,
Matthew finally lost his patience and snatched away her phone. “Stop fooling around!”

Crystal was provoked by his actions and she yelled, “Matthew, why are you acting like this? You don’t
care about it and force others to stop caring. Do you even have a sense of civism?”

Matthew glared at her and replied in a solemn tone, “Crystal, do you really think what you see is always
correct? Things that happen in this world can’t always be defined as right or wrong. There are reasons
behind some things that you don’t know, so you have no right to judge others!”

However, Crystal was unconvinced. “Matthew, you’re saying that I might’ve understood him. Tell me
then; what have I done wrong? I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong by catching a swindler.”
