Chater 738


    Lilly said, “Chanice, don’t be scared! No one’s going to hurt you anymore!”


    She stuck out a finger, drawing a calming amulet in midair and making it stick to Chanice.


    Pablo, who had been watching all along without saying a thing, was speechless.


    Drawing amulets in mid-air? That was something else! How annoying, it was like she didn’t even need


    him anymore! This was making him look useless…


    Chanice calmed down after having the amulet stuck to her, feeling less scared than she had been


    before.


    She sobbed, “Dad, Mom, he hit me… Chad hit me…”


    She sobbed with all her chest, curling into her mother as she said: Chad hit her. Chad threw a chair at


    her…


    He strangled her, pped her.


    She locked herself in her room, but he tried to kick it down…


    Chanice’s brother had just calmed down slightly, but blew up all over again upon hearing his sister get


    assaulted like that.


    He grabbed a chair, breaking it on Chad’s head…


    Chad’s head bled at once, and chaos broke loose once again. Chad’s father was fuming, “Call the


    police, call the police!”


    Chady on the ground in a heap, his chest sinking as the police were mentioned!


    His unit was owned by the state! If the police came, he was going to lose his source of ie!


    What the hell? They couldn’t get the three thousand dors out of him, so now they were trying to ruin


    his future? How evil!


    Chad was trembling with fear and rage, but quickly calmed down.


    This was just a family argument, and the authorities could not exactly judge for sure who was in the


    wrong.


    Those husbands who abused their wives would usually just be sent to counseling ande right out.


    That happened all the time, didn’t it?

    Chad grew brave all of a sudden.


    But his guilt conscience rang, reminding him about the cameras he had secretly installed in Chanice’s


    house. It was impossible for him to take them out now, so all he could do was pick up his phone and


    cry out about calling the police while quickly deleting the security camera app he had installed!


    ke was watching him the whole time.


    Oh?


    Deleting something?


    ke was about to go over, only to see that Chad had put down the phone.


    Not long after, the air rang with the wail of police sirens.


    The police cars and ambnces were all here.


    There were people to take statements, and people to bring Chanice to safety.


    The emergency unit representatives took one look at Chanice and their expressions darkened. “Quick,


    get her in the ambnce for emergency treatment!”


    Chanice’s mother panicked at the question. “What’s wrong with my daughter, what’s wrong…”


    One of the doctors who was tending to a now-unconscious Chanice said, “We suspect that she’s


    bleeding internally. She needs to be rushed to the hospital for emergency rescue!”


    Chanice’s mother’s legs wobbled, and she nearly keeled over.


    The whole family was panicking, rushing over to the hospital as well.


    Chad, who had been detained, frowned. “Sir, that’s not very fair of you, is it?”


    “What did I do wrong? Why are you arresting me?”


    “I’m a victim too!”


    Chad pointed at his bleeding head and bruised face. “They all ganged up on me! I was just defending


    myself!”


    He turned to nce at ke, sitting by the side. He had seen with his own eyes that the police had


    gone to ke for a report just now!


    He pointed at ke, fuming. “One of your policemen was right here, but he didn’t stop them and let


    them attack me! My head’s been bashed in, look! You’re abusing your power, covering for him like this!”


    Chad was thoroughly enraged, feeling as if he had been wrongedpletely.


    He was Chanice’s boyfriend! What was a little squabble between a couple!


    All couples fought, didn’t they?


    They were wrong for attacking him!


    ke crossed his arms, his tone casual.


    “Who told you, or when did you see that I was a cop?” He picked up Lilly. “We were just passing by…


    and watching the show unfold!”


    Lilly blinked, turning to look at her father.


    She saw him nce back meaningfully, and nodded at once. “Yes, yes, we were just passing by! We


    were just watching the show, Daddy even called the cops!”


    “Besides, have you ever seen a cop bringing a child along on duty?”


    Chad choked, almost fainting from exasperation.


    This guy was doing this on purpose!


    Chad had clearly seen the police greet him first!


    Liar!


    The policeman shouted, “Chad Weatherby! What else do you have to say?”


    Chad gritted his teeth. “I’m not going down without a fight! I’m remaining silent before mywyers


    arrive?”


    Lilly and her father looked at him with matching expressions. “Uhhh…”


    Lilly was confused. This man looked so stingy, and was clearly broke. How was he going to afford a


    lawyer?


    Even if he could afford one, would he even do that?


    Chad continued to repeat his point: He hadn’t hit Chanice, and it was the Hemsworths who had been


    attacking him over the marital gift.


    He was wronged!


    There was no proof. He’d been beaten up too— what right did they have to arrest him!


    Lilly had always thought that the best punishment for a bad guy was sending them to jail.


    She now felt like just arresting him was going far too easy on him!


    Chad did not know at all that he had just made a huge mistake…
