Dawson tried his best to calm down and explained to everyone, âI had a
quarrel with Mabel last night, so she did this on purposeâ¦â
As he spoke, he helped Mabel up. He looked like a good husband who doted
on his angry wife.
âEven if you are angry with me, you canât smear me in front of everyoneâ¦â
As a man, Dawson easily pulled Mabel up. He put force on his fingers and
looked at her. âAm I right?â
Mabel was desperate at that moment.
She finally had the courage to do that, but Dawsonâs words made her efforts
in vain.
Mabel lowered her head and didnât dare to look up for fear that everyone
would think she was unreasonable.
When Mabel was in despair, a slender, fair hand grabbed her wrist.
Mabel looked up in shock and found that it was Charlotte.
Charlotte pulled Mabel behind her and patted Mabelâs hand gently. âDonât
worry. If you have anything to say, just say it. We will help you.â
âWhat are you doing?â Dawson didnât expect Charlotte to take the initiative to
get involved. âIt is a matter between me and her. It seems to have nothing to
do with you, Miss Clinton.â
Before Charlotte spoke, Dawson continued helplessly, âI know I offended you
because of my impulse, but you canât ruin my family because of that.â
âIf you hadnât done anything to her, I will apologize.â The first half of
Charlotteâs sentence made Dawson look relaxed, but the second half shocked
him. âIf you have committed domestic violence, I will stand by her side.â
Dawson secretly threatened Mabel with his eyes.
Mabel lowered her head habitually, daring not to look at Dawson.
âAnd me.â Kaila took the initiative to walk to Charlotte to protect Mabel.
âAnd me.â Neilâs wife also stood up and glared at Dawson.
Dawson never dreamed that they would stand up to help Mabel. He pointed
at them and said, âYou!â
At that moment, Mabelâs hands were tightly clenched into fists, and tears
streamed down his cheeks.
She knew it would be her last chance to escape the devil. If she failed to
grasp it, the endless hell was waiting for her.
âHe often abuses and controls me. He evenâ¦â Mabel covered her face with
her hands. âHe even hit Milo and threatened me with Milo.â
âYouâre talking nonsense!â Dawson was like a mad dog, barking at Mabel. âI
pay for everything of you. How dare you slander me?â
Mabel bit her lip and walked in front of everyone. She suddenly took off her
clothes.
She only wore a short tube top, and most of her skin was exposed, but no
one had any other thoughts.
Kaila even covered her mouth and cried.
Mabelâs body was covered with bruises, and there was even a long scar on
her waist and abdomen.
âHe caused this wound today because I forgot to add a kind of seasoning to
beef bourguignon. Here was kicked by him on the first day we came here
because he thought I didnât make the bed fast enough.â
Mabel calmly pointed to every bruise on her body and introduced them to
everyone.
