Chapter 560: Chapter 559
Charles Olsen also rushed over, with the young couple looking righteously indignant and innocently naive.
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton glanced at each other and let out a helpless sigh before standing up and walking over.
Seeing this, the man became arrogant and warned Erin South Martin, “It’s none of your damn business that I hit my own wife. I’m warning you, mind your own business!”
The woman he had hit then looked up, her eyes pitifully turning to Erin South Martin, and said, “Honey, don’t hit me, let’s talk this out nicely.”
“Am I not speaking to you nicely?”
After saying that, the man slapped the woman again.
Her face turned from the impact, her cheek swollen, and tears rolled down as she said, “Please don’t hit me…”
Erin South Martin immediately said, “Ma’am, do you need me to call the police for you?”
Before the woman could respond, the man angrily pointed at her, “Who asked you to meddle? You must be so full of yourself to have nothing better to do, huh? Get lost!”
Erin South Martin immediately said, “It’s wrong for you to beat a woman in public regardless. Even if you’re married, hitting her is domestic violence! It’s illegal, do you believe I’ll call the police right now?”
Erin South Martin said this and picked up her phone.
Just as she was about to call the police, the man swung his hand, knocking Erin South Martin’s phone away, and then pushed her hard: “You dare call the police? I’ll kill you!”
Erin South Martin staggered back a couple of steps.
Charles Olsen immediately supported her and then angrily said to the man, “Can’t you just talk properly? How can you resort to violence?”
“What’s it to you if I resort to violence? Young man, I advise you to mind your business!”
The man glared viciously at Erin South Martin and said to Charles Olsen, “Is this your girlfriend? Heh, is she so idle because you’re incompetent? A woman should be schooled properly, taught the might of a man! You look like a gigolo, can’t even control your woman, such a loser!”
Erin South Martin was furious and stepped forward, “What nonsensical rubbish are you talking?”
The man pushed Erin South Martin again, “What’s it to you all? What’s your business with how I discipline my own woman? You’re trying to act the righteous couple? Don’t overestimate your abilities…”
He then looked Erin South Martin up and down, “But you are quite a looker, huh? How about it? If you call me ‘big brother’, I might let you off…”
Upon hearing this, Charles Olsen couldn’t hold back any longer, he rushed forward and swung a heavy punch right into the man’s face.
The man was instantly enraged and jumped up, ready to hit Charles Olsen.
The next moment, he was grabbed by the wrist by Keira Olsen.
Keira Olsen pushed the man back several steps with just a light force, and Charles Olsen immediately pounced on him, starting to fight!
The restaurant staff hurried over, trying to break up the fight: “Guests, please let go, stop fighting!”
The manager quickly called the police.
Half an hour later, a group of people were sitting in a police station holding cell.
Erin South Martin looked at the bruises on Charles Olsen’s face, unable to help herself from saying, “That man, he was just too much! Does it hurt?”
After saying this, she turned to look at Keira Olsen, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault you got dragged into this.”
Keira Olsen helplessly shook her head.
Erin South Martin then added, “But I don’t think I did anything wrong! At least we saved that woman today. Otherwise, she would have been beaten by her husband! I hope she’ll get divorced.”
Keira Olsen said, “She won’t get divorced, which is why I was holding you back, telling you not to meddle.”
Erin South Martin looked at her in shock, “Even so, she still won’t get divorced? Impossible! Are you lying?”
Keira Olsen said helplessly, “A normal woman would instinctively fight back when hit, but she didn’t resist at all. That indicates it’s not the first time she’s been hit.”
Erin South Martin immediately frowned, “Even if it’s not the first time, she should still resist. By not resisting, it only emboldens the abusers!”
Seeing that Erin still didn’t understand, Keira Olsen didn’t bother to explain further.
Charles Olsen then said, “Cousin, could it be that the woman wants a divorce, but is too scared of the abuser to leave?”
Keira Olsen glanced at him, “There are indeed many women who want to fight back but are powerless to do so in the world, but she is not one of them.”
Erin South Martin watched her with those innocent big eyes, “Why would you say that? Maybe this time, we could get that man a criminal record for domestic violence, so that woman can get divorced!”
Keira Olsen looked at her innocent and flawless appearance, then glanced at Charles Olsen, another naive college student, all she could feel was a headache.
She had been struggling in the outside world since she was young and had seen many such people. She could tell which women wanted to save themselves and which had resigned themselves to their fate–if you try to help them, they might even turn on you…
She had learned from her own share of losses.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to lecture Erin South Martin; this young lady had been so well-protected by her family, beautiful and kind-hearted, it was good for her to experience the cruelty of society.
She didn’t speak, but Charles Olsen did, “No matter what, we did a good deed today. Erin, you were really brave!”
Erin South Martin smiled without a word, and proudly lifted her chin, then looked at Keira Olsen, “Erin Olsen, I think a person can’t lose their most important principles.”
At that moment, someone came to them; it was Tom Davis with a lawyer to bail them out. They all walked out, and then the police handed them a document: “Sign here, and you can go.”
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton signed briskly.
Erin South Martin then asked, “What about that couple? Do you have a record of that man’s domestic violence? Did the wife say she wanted a divorce?”
The policeman heard this and paused, not answering.
Erin South Martin continued, “Did the wife say she wanted to thank us? Officer, you don’t have to give her our contact information, we love to do good deeds without leaving a name. It’s just lending a helping hand.”
Policeman: “…”
The policeman coughed, looking quite troubled.
Seeing this, Erin South Martin became curious, “What’s the matter? Did that man abuse his wife again?”
Unable to hold back, the policeman finally said, “No, it’s like this. That wife testified that you guys started the physical confrontation, so we determined that you were at fault first. As a result, the husband’s medical fees will need to be paid by you.”
