Charles also rushed over. The young couple looked indignant, their appearance brimming with naive righteousness.
Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance and, with a helpless sigh, stood up and walked over.
Seeing them approach, the man immediately became arrogant and warned Erin, “I’m hitting my own wife. What’s it to you? I’m warning you, don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong p>
The woman he was hitting then lifted her head, looking pitifully at Erin, and said, “Honey, please don’t hit me. Let’s talk this out p>
“Haven’t I been talking to you nicely p>
After saying that, the man slapped the woman again.
The woman’s face was struck to the side, her cheek swelling as her tears began to fall. “Please don’t hit me p>
Erin immediately said, “Madam, do you need me to call the police for you p>
Before the woman could respond, the man angrily pointed at Erin. “It’s none of your business! Are you looking for trouble because you have nothing better to do? Get lost p>
Erin promptly responded, “Hitting a woman in public is simply wrong. Even if you are husband and wife, hitting her is domestic violence! It’s illegal, believe me or not. I’m going to call the police right now p>
As Erin said this, she took out her phone.
Just as she was about to call the police, the man swung his hand forcefully, knocking Erin’s phone away, then shoved her. “You dare call the police? I’ll kill you p>
Erin stumbled backward, struggling to maintain her balance.
Charles immediately steadied her, then angrily turned to the man, “You could have just spoken nicely. Why did you have to get physical p>
“So what if I got physical? Young man, I suggest you keep out of this p>
The man glared menacingly at Erin and asked Charles, “Is this your girlfriend? Is she so meddlesome because you’re not good enough for her? A woman should be taught a lesson so she knows the power of a man! You look like a gigolo, unable even to keep a woman in line. What a waste p>
Erin got angry and stepped forward, “What did you just say p>
The man pushed Erin again. “What’s it to you about how I discipline my own woman? Do you want to act like a couple standing up for justice? You should weigh your own capabilities p>
After that, he looked Erin up and down. “But you do look quite appealing, eh? How about it? If you talk to me nicely, I might even let you off p>
Upon hearing this, Charles could no longer restrain himself and charged forward, landing a fierce punch on the man’s face.
The man immediately became furious, hopping on his feet to hit Charles.
In the next moment, Keira grabbed his wrist.
With a little shove, Keira pushed the man several steps back, and Charles immediately pounced up and started to hit him!
The restaurant staff quickly came over, intervening. “Gentlemen, please stop fighting p>
The manager also hurriedly called the police.
Half an hour later, the group of people were sitting in the police station holding cell.
Erin looked at the bruises on Charles’s face and couldn’t help but say, “That man was way out of line! Does it hurt p>
After that, she turned to Keira and said, “Sorry for dragging you into this p>
Keira shook her head in resignation.
Erin then said, “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 gets a divorce p>
Keira replied, “She won’t get a divorce. That’s why I stopped you from meddling p>
Erin immediately looked at her in shock. “She won’t leave him? That’s impossible! Are you sure p>
Keira explained in resignation, “An ordinary woman would instinctively fight back when being hit, but she didn’t show any resistance at all. That indicates that it wasn’t her first time being beaten p>
Erin immediately frowned. “Even if it wasn’t the first time, she should still fight back. If she doesn’t resist, it’ll only make the abusers more arrogant p>
Seeing that she still didn’t understand, Keira simply stopped talking.
Charles then said, “Do you think it’s because the woman wants a divorce but is being threatened by the abuser into staying silent p>
Keira glanced at him, “Indeed, in this world, many women want to fight back but are powerless, but that woman isn’t one of them p>
Erin stared at her with those innocent, wide eyes. “Why do you say that? Perhaps this time, we might even leave a domestic violence record for that man, and then the woman could get divorced p>
Keira looked at her naively unblemished face and then at Charles, who was just another simple college student, feeling a headache coming on.
She had been toughing it out since she was young and had grown accustomed to these people. Therefore, she could tell which women wanted to save themselves and which had resigned themselves to their fate. If someone helped the latter type, she might even turn around and bite back p>
Keira had suffered from that kind of woman numerous times already.
However, Keira couldn’t bring herself to preach to Erin; her family had protected the girl too well. She was beautiful and kind-hearted, and it would be good for her to learn about the evil in society.
Charles said, “No matter what, we did a good deed today. Erin, you were really brave p>
Erin smiled and remained silent, lifting her chin proudly. Then, she glanced at Keira. “We can’t lose the most important thing in humanity p>
At this point, someone came looking for them. Tom came with a lawyer to bail them out, and they all left. Then, the police handed over a document. “Sign here, and you can go p>
Keira and Lewis signed promptly.
Erin then asked, “What about that couple? Do you have a record of that man’s domestic violence? And the wife, did she mention wanting a divorce p>
The police officer heard this and was taken aback, giving no answer.
Erin continued. “Did the wife say she wanted to thank us? Officer, you don’t need to give her our contact details. What we enjoy the most is doing good deeds without leaving a trace. It’s just a small effort, after all p>
The police officer didn’t know what to say.
He coughed, looking rather awkward.
Noticing this, Erin grew curious. “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that man abused his wife again p>
Hearing that, the police officer couldn’t hold back any longer and finally said, “No, here’s the thing. The wife testified that you were the ones who initiated the fight, so we judged that you were at fault first. Therefore, you need to cover the husband’s medical expenses p>
Erin was dumbfounded.
