Chapter 1097: Chapter 512: Returning from the Great Dream (2)

Lawrence Winters said goodbye to Cecilia, Mrs. Fang’s neighbor, and continued walking along the shaded sidewalk.

Each house here had a large lawn, groomed meticulously by Hispanic gardeners who mowed and styled the grass.

Of course, some people preferred to do the gardening themselves, buying lawnmowers to mow every other day, and on weekends busily fixing flower beds, trimming branches, weeding, spraying, and catching bugs.

Lawrence Winters walked along this path, from Cecilia’s lawn to Mrs. Fang’s lawn.

Purple lavender swayed in threes and fours along the roadside, with blue, pink, and purple hibiscus in between, and lilacs climbing along the white wooden fence.

It seemed that both Cecilia and Mrs. Fang liked the color purple, as the flowers they planted were predominantly purple, occasionally interspersed with yellow, purple, blue, and white pansies, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Coming out from under the trees, Lawrence Winters saw the entrance of Mrs. Fang’s white Spanish villa crowded with people, making it impenetrable.

In the middle was the family of three they had previously encountered at Fortunate Gate.

The once gentle and dependent middle-aged woman now had red eyes from crying, holding a handkerchief, she said aggrieved into the microphone extended towards her: "... Mr. Yu has just passed away, I just wanted to pay my respects to him. I have been with him for over ten years and gave birth to two children, he was my entire life!"

"Now Mrs. Fang won’t let us in, how is that fair? I can stay outside, but my kids must go in! He’s their father!"

A middle-aged white man in a suit then spoke to the reporters: "I am Robert, Mrs. Rong’s attorney. Mrs. Rong and Mr. Yu were a de facto couple and have two children together. Now with Mr. Yu’s unfortunate death, Mrs. Rong’s family has lost their livelihood. We hope Mrs. Fang faces reality and separates the child support and alimony for Mrs. Rong from Mr. Yu’s estate."

"Moreover, Mr. Yu had once drafted a testament left with Mrs. Rong, stating that half of his assets would be given to her."

The media was immediately thrilled upon hearing this.

This family was truly a treasure trove of news!

The male head had just been murdered in a crime of passion, and now an external lover came with children demanding a share of the inheritance!

This kind of sensational family feud was rarely seen.

Thus, the family of three appeared like they were holding a press conference at Mrs. Fang’s doorstep, considering themselves the owners of the place.

Lawrence Winters found it both funny and confusing, wondering why Mrs. Fang wasn’t coming out.

But he didn’t have to wonder for long, as the reason soon became clear.

Mrs. Fang had called the police.

The sound of sirens quickly wailed from the entrance of the community, causing a heart-pounding alarm.

A few sturdy police officers got out of their patrol cars and announced to the crowd blocking Mrs. Fang’s entrance: "This is private property, please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"

The media personnel, realizing the trouble, quickly put away their microphones, ready to run.

But the police did not let them just run away.

On foreign private grounds, unauthorized entry is prohibited. It’s common to see signs on a piece of empty land saying, "Private Property, Trespassers Fined."

The fine typically ranges between two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty.

Of course, you can walk across private grounds; generally, people don’t mind that.

Taking a shortcut is usually fine.

These signs penalize those who loiter on someone else’s private land without cause, not passersby.

Like today, since the media were brought to the house’s entrance to create a scene by that family, they wouldn’t be let off easily.

Mrs. Fang was ruthless too; she simply did not step out to meet them, instead cutting them off at the source by calling the police to take everyone to the station.

The police were also glad to handle such cases because fines were a source of revenue for them.

The fines contributed significantly to the police station’s funding and their bonuses.

So, whenever such incidents occurred, they responded quickly, arresting everyone without exception, taking them all back to the station.

Only the family of three and their lawyer were arguing their case, telling the police: "We are not outsiders. My client has two children with the male owner of this house, who have inheritance rights, so we are not trespassing on private property."

Because of this claim, the police did not take them away immediately and allowed them to negotiate with the homeowner, Mrs. Fang.

However, the disorderly media crowd was taken away.

These were all online self-media. The traditional local media did not join in this chaos.
