chapter 24 Each goes his own way and has nothing to do with each other ===

"Humphrey Harrelson, stop!" Seeing that Humphrey was planning to leave like this after hitting her, and that he did not take her seriously at all, Candiece was so infuriated that she got up from the ground and yelled at Humphrey from behind. Humphrey stopped in his tracks, and turned around. His gentle expression suddenly turned cold, "For the sake of my little niece, I don't wish to continue to beat you guys up. You better read the situation right and know your own limits!" Candiece was startled by Humphrey's icy eyes which stopped her from saying a word more. Humphrey turned his head and continued walking towards the house; wearing a soft smile again on his face. Behind the door curtain, the owner of that big, bright eye saw Humphrey getting closer and closer. She let out a faint shriek in fright, and immediately flee from the door. Humphrey came to the door. Afraid of scaring the child, he did not go in directly. Instead, he stopped his footsteps and asked with a smile, "Selena, is that you?" The kiddy voice in the room replied, "Don't ask me who I am, tell me first, are you Uncle Humphrey?" The smile on Humphrey's lips deepened, as he laughed and said, "Yes, I am your Uncle Humphrey. Your father and I were good brothers." "You are not my father's good brother!" The door curtain was opened from the inside, and a little girl of four or five years old appeared crisply before Humphrey. The little girl was fair and delicate, and looked very much like the deceased Dempsey Herbert, which was especially heartbreaking. She lifted her head, glared at Humphrey, and scolded, "When my father was alive, he often mentioned you in front of me and told me how good you were. Being his good brother, why did you watch my father and my grandparents killed and did nothing? You are a bad person! I hate you!!" Humphrey was suddenly taken aback, and for the first time, he panicked. In the seven years he was in the army, he spent a long period on the battlefield. He scorned the world, and dominated wherever he went. He was unbridled and invincible. No matter who he faced and what dangers he encountered, he dealt with them calmly. The so-called wealthy and powerful, the so-called unparalleled enemies, were all in his eyes, just inconsequential. But now, faced with the questions and accusations from the four or five-year-old girl in front of him, Humphrey could not explain himself and did not know how to deal with it. "Selena, please hear me explain. When something happened to your grandparents and father, one after another, I was extremely anxious when I heard the news. But at that time, I happened to have something important to do and couldn't get away." "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!" Selena covered her ears and said, "You are a bad person! A bad person!" Humphrey smiled bitterly, and was completely at a loss for words. Even though he was powerful and invincible in the world, he was completely helpless in front of Selena. At this time, Jini came over, glared at Selena, and said, "Selena, don't talk nonsense. He is your uncle, and your elder. You must respect him." Selena glared at Jini and sneered, "I don't want you to be bothered with me. Didn't you go to find a man? Why did you still come back?" A trace of shame appeared on Jini's face, and she said, "There's no such thing, who have you heard this from?" Selena sneered, "Grandaunt and them have been talking about this, and I'm not deaf! You betrayed my father, and I hate you too!" Jini was speechless for a moment, and then she became angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Come with me into the house to pack your things!" As she spoke, she grabbed Selena's shoulders and pushed her into the house forcibly. Selena is, after all, still a child in kindergarten. Although she spoke in an unforgiving tone, her small body could not resist Jini’s strength. So while shouting, Jini pushed her into the house. Humphrey opened his mouth. He felt sorry for the child, but did not stop her. After all, Jini was the mother of the child, and she had her own sense of proportion. So he stood outside the door, motionless, waiting quietly. As a mother, Jini had a good way of dealing with Selena. After a few moments, Selena sat on the bed alone, pouting, and sulking. But she had stopped crying. Jini began to pack her clothes and luggage. Seeing Jini packing her luggage in the room, Abigail and the two frowned. Abigail came over and asked through the window, "Jini, why are you packing your luggage?" Jini twitched her hair and said, "Aunt, I am packing my things and taking Selena away. Humphrey has already arranged a place for us. I’m sorry for having to trouble you for the past year." "What?" Abigail frowned and said, "You want to take Selena and leave with Humphrey Harrelson?" Without even thinking, Abigail said, "No, I won't allow you to take Selena and leave with him!" Candiece also blurted out, "Yes, she can't leave. If she leaves, who will wash and cook for us?" "What?" Humphrey's face darkened and he looked at Candiece, "Is my sister-in-law a servant of your family?" Candiece snorted angrily, shut her mouth, and did not dare to continue speaking. Abigail looked at Humphrey coldly and said, "Humphrey, don't blame Aunt for speaking harshly. Jini is a widow. It's okay for them, a widowed mother and child, to live with me, and no one will talk about it. But for them to leave with you, what's going on with you?" You and Dempsey have a good relationship, but don’t forget your identity. You are Jini’s brother-in-law! Is it really appropriate for you to keep your brother's widow by your side? " Candiece sneered in a low voice, "If you really take sister-in-law Jini away, I'm afraid within a few days, news about the affair between my sister-in-law and second uncle will spread throughout Lymelathe City! Humphrey, don't you know shame?" Jini paused while packing her luggage in the room. Suddenly, she was in a dilemma, and she did not know what to do. If she followed her head or her heart, she was more inclined to leave with Humphrey. After all, judging from the current situation, Humphrey seemed to be capable of taking good care of them, mother and daughter. At least by following Humphrey, it would not be a problem providing Selena with a good living environment. However, as Abigail had said, there were differences between men and women, especially since she was also a widow. If she were to follow her brother-in-law, she would inevitably invite gossip. Humphrey shook his head and sneered, "You are the ones who made my sister-in-law become someone's mistress, and now you are preventing me from taking my sister-in-law away on moral grounds. You really apply double standards so naturally. Are you really concerned about my sister-in-law’s innocence? Do you really care about my eldest brother's reputation? Or are you only concerned that when I take my sister-in-law away, there will be no one to wash and cook for you, and no one to make money for you to squander? Why are you so hypocritical? " Abigail and her children were speechless for a moment. After dusting off his clothes, Humphrey took out a special cigarette and lit it. His handsome face was illuminated by the cigarette light; it was half in the light and half dark. "Sister-in-law and Selena are my eldest brother's wife and daughter. I have the obligation and ability to take good care of them. From now on, we will go our own ways and have nothing to do with each other. I hope that when I completely settle the old accounts of the Herbert family, you will not be guilty, otherwise, I will no longer regard the old relationship between you and the Herbert family! " Hearing Humphrey's loud voice, Jini, who was in the room, stopped worrying and quickly packed her clothes! Selena, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at the towering figure through the car window. A hint of curiosity flashed through her big, bright eyes, and the displeasure on her face subsided unconsciously. Abigail said in a cold voice, "Okay, okay, since it's your mutual wish to leave, I can't stop you! You want to break away from us, right? Then, just leave! Who cares to live with a widow and her child? You guys stood Mr. Dunn up. I'll see what you would do when Mr. Dunn pursues the matter! I hope you won’t have to beg us again in the future!" Candiece nodded and sneered, "Mom, you are right. In my opinion, within three days, they will definitely suffer retaliation from Mr. Dunn. Let them leave, just so they don't implicate us!" Only then did Humphrey realize that Abigail and the two did not believe him at all when he told them, as soon as he stepped in, that he had killed Nelson Dunn. He sneered, too lazy to waste his breath.
