Chapter <b>127 </b>


    Mnie watched the scene before her unfold, her fingertips ice–cold. She slowly found her voice and muttered softly, “Is this how it is…”


    Her throat contracted. She was unable to continue and unable to find the right words. Dn released her grip on Peachie’s hand and looked at Mnie with anticipation, pleading, “Mel.”


    Mnie looked away and breathed in. She was about to speak when she heard Theodore’s chuckle beside her. “Ma’am, I’m the one who called the police. Why are you bothering her?”


    Dn was stunned. She hesitated for a bit before shifting her gaze to Theodore. She had just been shoved by George, and now, her hair and clothes were in disarray.


    Rubbing her hands nervously, Dn pleaded, “C–Can you talk to the police and ask them not to take away my husband?”


    Theodore and Eugene exchanged a nce. Eugene’s expression was cold as he remained silent. Theodore frowned disapprovingly at Dn. “Your husband was deliberately causing harm. Do you


    understand this?”


    Dn exined anxiously, “No, he wasn’t intentionally causing harm. He was just in a bad mood.”


    Theodore evidently could notprehend what she was thinking. He could only look at Mnie.


    Mnie turned her face away, not looking at any of them. Her lips were tightly pressed.


    Following his gaze, Dn looked at Mnie and immediately grabbed Mnie’s hand. “Mel’s my daughter. Why do we need to trouble the police with our family matters?”


    Her nails were a little long, and in her haste to grab Mnie, she left shallow marks on the back of Mnie’s hand. Dn’s grip was unexpectedly strong, and Mnie could not break free after struggling a couple of times.


    Dn turned to her and asked, “Isn’t he your boss? Quickly exin the situation to him!”


    Mnie’s heart sank. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Exin what? To me, that man is just a stranger. Didn’t you see him trying to hit me just now?”


    This was the most assertive Mnie had been since meeting Dn. Dn waspletely stunned. After regaining her senses, she slowly said, “He didn’t actually hit you, did he?”


    Mnie stared at her, the anger in her eyes fading. She pulled her hand away from Dn’s grip, her voice trembling but firm as she replied, “Your request is impossible.”


    George was quickly taken away. During this time, Dn repeatedly told the police that she and George were husband and wife and that he did not intentionally harm anyone. She pleaded with them to


    release him.


    Watching her desperately plead with the police, Mnie felt like someone was choking her and


    pressing her head into the water. The pain in her chest was unbearable.


    “Eugene, do you want to get that checked out?” Mnie heard Theodore say suddenly when she saw George being forcibly shoved into the police car.


    She turned her head mechanically and noticed the bruise on Eugene’s wrist. When he intercepted George earlier, the man did not hesitate to use brute force on Eugene’s hand.


    Mnie had not noticed before due to the urgency of the situation, and Eugene had not mentioned anything, so she thought nothing had happened.


    However, seeing the extent of the injury on his wrist, shecould imagine the severity of the blows George had dealt.


    Mnie’s face turned pale as she looked at Eugene’s wrist. “Are you okay?”


    Eugene lowered his gaze and nced at her before replying indifferently, “I’m not as fragile as you think.”


    Before Mnie could say anything else, she saw him frown. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes as he reminded her, “Deal with your own matters first.”


    Following his gaze, Mnie turned around and saw Dn sitting on the ground while holding Peachie and murmuring something.


    Mnie stood silently in ce for a moment, then walked over and stopped in front of Dn. Mnie did not know what expression to wear when facing Dn. “I’ll continue to cover Peachie’s medical expenses, but it’s limited to 10,000 per month,” she said woodenly.
