Chapter 210: Chain Letter (5)
After being harassed by the teenagers for nearly half a month, Narcissa had accumulated a belly full of anger.
Finally catching one of them, she ignored Soros’s pleas. Her thin, bony fingers clutched his arm like chicken claws as she dragged him in front of his parents to demand an explanation.
It happened to be a summer evening. The villagers had finished their farm work and were bored out of their minds, so when they saw there was drama to watch, quite a few people gathered outside Soros’s house.
In front of everyone, Soros’s parents opened the letter and discovered that it was a cursed chain letter.
At the time, those kinds of paper chain letters were very popular. Soros had probably learned about them from classmates at school, then written one himself in an attempt to play a prank.
With both witnesses and physical evidence present, and so many villagers watching nearby, there was no way to deny it. Soros’s father cared a lot about saving face; furious, he slapped Soros on the spot and promised everyone he would properly discipline his son afterward.
“There’s no need for punishment. As long as he stops disturbing my life, that’s enough.”
Narcissa gave the family a cold nod, then limped slowly back home.
She thought the matter was over.
