There were more and more voices around, all accusing the woman.
Whatever the reason, it was wrong for adults to hit children.
The womanâs face and neck flushed. She was so ashamed she wanted to find a hole and hide. It was so humiliating. She turned around and wanted to leave.
But Armand stopped her.
He looked serious: âYou want to leave after hitting someone?â.
âI said I donât need compensation anymore, what more do you want from me?â the woman shouted. She was very angry because the people around her were laughing at her.
âWe will compensate you since we have soiled your clothes. And since youâve hit someone, youâll have to pay for it!â Armand raised his chin.
The womanâs heart was beating fast. She was nervous. She hadnât expected things to get to this point, she had no choice but to call her husband to resolve the situation for her. âYo, let me make a call.â The woman quickly pulled her phone out of her pocket and called her husband.
Shortly after connecting the phone, before she could open her mouth, she heard an impatient male voice: âDid you fall down the well? Why arenât you back yet?â
âI, Iâm coming back from the bathroom.â The woman stammered.
Her husband grew even more impatient, âThen why arenât you back yet?â
The woman shrugged her shoulders, âSomeone has stopped me and wonât let me go.â
âWhat?â the man on the other end of the phone was very angry. He thought someone was making fun of his wife. He angrily opened the car door and got out. He walked over to the bathroom, âWho, who is blocking my wifeâs way?â
âDarling.â The woman was frightened, seeing her husband, she felt she would be saved.
The man walked towards them, âWho is making fun of my wife?â
âWhen your wife looks like this, who is going to make fun of her?â Said someone in the crowd.
The man was immediately angry. His wife was being criticized as ugly. He felt embarrassed.
âWho said that? Come out if you dare.â The man pointed to the people in the crowd.
âDonât be angry, sir. What this man said did not refer to his wifeâs ugly appearance, but to her heart, he meant that his wifeâs heart is ugly.â Said a woman standing in front of the crowd.
It was better not to explain it because when she explained it, it sounded even worse. Because when the face was said to be ugly it was just the appearance, but when the heart was said to be ugly, it meant that person had no morals, no manners or was cruel. No matter what it was, it was not a good word.
The man immediately became angry and pointed to the woman who was speaking, âSay it again?â.
The woman who had just spoken said, âIt is true that your wife has no manners.â
The man raised his hand to strike the woman who was speaking. His wife caught his hand in time and whispered, âDonât make trouble here.â
Just when the man wanted to scold his wife, he discovered that his clothes were dirty. His face changed again, âYouâve spent more than 1000 yuan on your clothes, how did they get like this?â
âMy daughter soiled it.â Matthewâs face was cold, he said calmly. He looked at the man with a pair of cold, oppressive eyes.
The man was startled by his eyes for a moment.
âIt was your daughter who soiled my clothes. I got so angry that I slapped your daughter.â
When his wife spoke, the man heard nothing. His brain was buzzing for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he said haughtily, âYour daughter soiled my wifeâs clothes, you have to pay for it.â
âHereâs the money.â Armand kicked the bag on the floor. The money in red came out of the bag. The man looked down and was stunned.Thatâs a lot!
Then he sensed something was wrong.
But everyone liked money.
He pressed his wife, âHow much more do you want, didnât it make it up to you, why donât you take the money?â
The wife didnât dare take it.
âMy daughter has soiled your wifeâs clothes. She will be compensated with the money. However, how do you explain that your wife has beaten my daughter?â Matthew was very angry.
The man looked for a moment at his wife and the money on the ground, then at the crowd around him. He was totally dumbfounded.
The woman tugged at him, âDarling, what should we do?â
The man looked at the woman and slapped her. The woman was caught, stepped on the instant noodles accidentally and fell down. She covered her face in disbelief as she looked at her husband.
âDid you hit me?â
The man smiled, âAre you blind? Look at what they are wearing, you should know they are rich. I canât stand this. You are a disgrace and yet you call me here.â
The people around were stunned. This man was also unbelievable.
He did not protect his wife. Even if he was wrong, he was only thinking about how his wife made him feel ashamed.
Armand licked his lips. âThe old saying is true. If they have the same personality, theyâre probably from the same family.â
This man was not a man at all. He had no pride. Meanwhile, the woman was clearly a gold digger with an ugly heart.
Otherwise, she wouldnât hit a girl.
âThis matterâ¦â The woman tugged at the manâs pants, she still wanted her husband to help her resolve this matter.
âYou created the problem yourself, so solve it yourself.â The man kicked the woman mercilessly away and walked off into the crowd. She kept cursing, âWhat are you looking at?â.
The man was the womanâs only support. At this point, the woman was terrified.
âGood will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil. Always be kind.â Someone pointed at the woman and said.
The woman knew it was useless to trust her husband. She looked around. She did not feel ashamed, but felt that she had also lost her pride. She could not even trust her own husband, the saying was totally true and reflected on her.
The woman wiped her face. To solve the problem quickly, she apologized, âIâm sorry, I made a mistake. I shouldnât have hit your daughter.â
Matthew didnât look at her and was obviously dissatisfied with her apology.
He had only loved his daughter, he couldnât even bear to see his daughter upset, but today, his daughter was being hit by this woman. He didnât want to be rational and he didnât want to let it go. If the woman didnât give him an apology he was satisfied with, he wouldnât let her go!
âWhat do you want?â Now, the woman looked disheveled. Her makeup had smeared, her body was covered with instant noodles. She was sitting on the ground, like a stray dog that no one wanted.
âWhich hand did you use to hit her, cut it off!â Matthewâs ferocity at this point even surprised Dolores, who was standing to the side.
The womanâs eyes suddenly shrunk and her whole body trembled. She was very frightened. She didnât care about anything now, she crawled over and tugged at Matthewâs pants, âIâve made a mistake, Iâve made a mistake. Please be merciful and let me go.â The womanâs touch made him frown.
âWhy donât you move?â he looked at the bodyguards standing next to him.
The reaction of the bodyguards was also extremely fast, the two bodyguards pressed the womanâs hands on her back quickly which made her unable to move.
The womanâs mascara was not waterproof. When she cried, a stream of black tears, mixed with the foundation, stained her face. She couldnât even imagine how ugly she looked.
How could the woman care about her image at that moment? She kept pleading, âI know Iâve made a mistake. I really know Iâve made a mistake. Please forgive me.â
Armand said coldly, âAs a human, itâs better to go unnoticed.â
