Chapter 210 Who is the Trash?
"Where did these bums come from, and how did they get into this fancy neighborhood?"
Suddenly, a snarky voice cut through the air.
A young couple approached, the guy was handsome, and the girl was stunning. Their clothes screamed money.
The guy, clearly annoyed, frowned deeply. The girl beside him, barely dressed, wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Zachary, isn't this place supposed to be exclusive? How did these bums get in? They reek," she complained.
Zachary Jenkins was equally disgusted. He turned to the well-trained Eagle family security guards at the gate. "Hey, why haven't you kicked them out yet?"
Margaret, hearing this, got furious. She pointed at the couple and shouted, "Who are you calling bums? You and your whole family are bums! We're here to check out a villa; my son-in-law bought one here!"
Margaret didn't care anymore. William said he bought a villa here and even had the Eagle family cars pick them up. So, he should handle this mess. If something went wrong, it was William's problem!
Margaret couldn't stand being insulted. "Yeah, my son-in-law bought a villa here! Who dares to kick us out? We came in the Eagle family cars! Who do you think you are?"
They started shouting at the couple, making a scene so William would have to deal with it.
Zachary was livid and yelled at the security guards, "Why are you just standing there? Do I need to call your manager? Get these pests out of here!"
"Yeah, with Zachary here, what are you afraid of?" the woman chimed in harshly.
Even in this fancy neighborhood, there were different levels.
Several burly security guards quickly ran over, saluted Zachary, and said, "Mr. Jenkins, sorry about this. We'll get them out right away."
Then, the guards turned to Margaret and her group, shouting, "Who let you in here?"
These people didn't look familiar, and so were definitely not residents.
There were only 108 houses here, and as security guards, they knew all the residents and their cars. Margaret and her group, dressed plainly, clearly didn't fit in.
The guards were puzzled—what was up with the outer gate security today? Negligence? If the captain found out, they'd be in trouble. Getting scolded was one thing; losing their job would be a disaster.
"Who said we broke in? We came in by car!" Margaret snapped back, looking annoyed. They had arrived in the Eagle family cars with the golden eagle emblem. Were these people blind?
The security guards were stunned. Came in by car? That meant they were invited. They realized there must be some misunderstanding.
Zachary, hearing this, put his hands in his pockets, walked over, and sneered, "By car? What kind of car? A garbage truck?"
"Hahaha! It must be. Look at their clothes; they're here to pick up trash. Maybe they'll find some treasure," the woman laughed, her chest heaving.
"You! You! Nonsense! You're the ones picking up trash!" Margaret had never been so humiliated. She was always the one dishing out insults, not receiving them.
She angrily said, "We came in the Eagle family cars. If you don't believe me, ask the outer gate security! The cars are still parked at the gate!"
Margaret looked proud, confident that these two couldn't go against the Eagle family.
'The Eagle family cars?' Zachary, hearing this, looked wary. When he arrived earlier, he had seen several Eagle family cars parked at the gate. Now, hearing this...
"Ridiculous! You bunch of trash pickers riding in the Eagle family's cars?" Zachary laughed mockingly. These people were hilarious, shamelessly claiming the cars at the gate were for them.
Dorothy and Hazel, hearing Zachary's insults, were also furious.
'This couple is so arrogant. How can such people be living in an upscale residential area?' they thought.
But they had to swallow their anger. This was an upscale area, and the Eagle family ran the show. They were just regular folks and couldn't fight back.
Still, they didn't mind Margaret arguing with the guy. Maybe it would stir up some drama.
Tyler, not being dumb, stepped forward, tugged on Margaret's sleeve, and whispered, "Margaret, stop it. This is a fancy neighborhood. If we tick off the wrong person, we're done for."
The Eagle family was the biggest deal in Lindwood City. No one messed with them.
Margaret, still fuming, didn't listen. She turned and slapped Tyler, scolding, "Tyler, you're as useless as William! Have you learned nothing all these years? Can't you see they're disrespecting me? How can you just take it?"
Tyler's face turned red. Being slapped by his wife in front of everyone, he could only hold back his anger. If he acted out, Margaret would definitely make a scene at home. Helpless, he did nothing.
Zachary sneered, "Oh, impressive."
"Why are you standing there? Get them out of here. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!" Zachary shouted angrily.
The security guards exchanged glances. They knew they couldn't afford to offend Zachary. The Jenkins family was part of the city's elite.
"Sorry, but you need to leave," one of the guards said coldly and started pushing them out.
Dorothy and the others were furious and shouted, "Margaret, didn't you say William bought a house here? Didn't he have the Eagle family cars pick us up? Call him and have him come get us!"
"Yeah, Margaret, let William handle this. Didn't he say he bought a house here? He must know someone!"
"Exactly; if William was bragging and brought us here, he should fix this!"
"Hurry up and get him over here. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in this mess."
The women shouted in unison, now furious with William. This useless guy had caused trouble, and now they were being humiliated and kicked out. How embarrassing!
William had to come and fix this. Even if something went wrong, it would be his problem!
They figured they could walk away later. They came here to expose William and see how he'd cover up his lies. This was the perfect chance. If William hadn't bought a house, he'd be caught in his lie when he showed up. Embarrassed in front of everyone, would Mary still tolerate him? Then, they could take over Mary's company and split the billion-dollar investment.
Hazel, Delia, Yancy, and Ulysses, along with their kids, had already planned this and exchanged knowing glances. Only Terry and Anna stood back, watching. They knew Zachary was in for a surprise.
"Ouch!" Margaret couldn't handle the pushing and started rolling on the ground, cursing, "Fine, fine, you're pushing me, right? I'll call my son-in-law right now and have him deal with you!"
Zachary sneered, hands in his pockets, "Go ahead, call him. I want to see who you can bring. If you get through this gate today, I'll crawl out of here on my knees!"
Margaret dialed William's number and immediately vented, "William, where the hell are you? We're about to be kicked out. Get over here right now!"
"What's going on? Are you already there?" William asked, coming in from outside the area. He had been arranging things in the villa and went out to buy some missing items.
"We're here! But they're calling us trash and trying to kick us out! They even hit me! Get over here now, or I'll be beaten to death!" Margaret shouted and hung up.
If William couldn't fix this, she'd force Mary to divorce him. That useless man brought them here, and now they were being kicked out! Was he trying to embarrass them? How humiliating!
William was confused but knew something was up. He hurriedly ran in from the outer gate. As he reached the inner gate, he saw a group arguing and pushing each other. Margaret's crying was the loudest. He jogged over, carrying a large bag of items.
From a distance, Zachary saw him and laughed, "Wow! Is this your son-in-law? He really looks like a poor man. Is he carrying trash he just picked up?"
