Chapter 20 Checking Surveillance
In the surveillance, Susie was sharing the cake and Hamza turned his face away.
At this time Lulu suddenly rushed out, without saying a word to pull
Susie’s skirt.
Susie tried to say something, but Lulu didn’t listen and slapped Susie directly in the face.
Then Susie got angry and hit Lulu back, and the two kids fought.
Monitoring was far away, so what they said was not recorded clearly, but people could see that Lulu first hit Susie.
The crowd looked at Mia in shock. She just said that Susie hit Lulu first.
“Didn’t Mia just say Susie hit Lulu without saying a word? How did this backfire.”
Mia’s lies were exposed in public and she was so ashamed that she cried out, and Mia’s mother was embarrassed.
She piled on a smile and said, “Kids probably misremembered.” Who knew the Murray family would be so ruthless as to put surveillance on?
The crowd did not believe Mia’s mother this statement. How could Mia remember wrongly? Either she was not a good brain, or she deliberately mislead others, right?
“In that case, it’s not Susie’s fault.”
“That’s right. It was Lulu who started the fight.”
Looking back at crying Lulu, they thought she was a brat girl.
When Lulu saw the suspicious eyes of others, a trace of bewilderment and helplessness surfaced under Lulu’s eyes, and she cried out again.
Mara’s fists clenched tighter and tighter. She said in a trembling voice, “How can you guys do this?”
They put the surveillance out in public so everyone could see that Lulu was the one who hit first. The child was still so young, but where could she put her self-esteem? How big the psychological shadow must be. How could they do this to Lulu?
Martin gave Mara a cold look, not even bothering to reason with her.
In Mara’s world, it’s not okay for others to ‘hurt’ Lulu at all, but what about Susie? Was her Lulu a child and Susie not a child?
Martin looked to Lulu and lowered his voice and said, “Stand up.”
Lulu, most afraid of Martin, cried but did not dare to disobey, huffing and puffing as she got up from the floor and stood up.
Martin asked, “Do you think you’re doing the right thing?”
Lulu cried and did not say anything. In fact, by this time, she vaguely began to feel that she was wrong.
She cried and wiped her eyes, “I don’t want to say.” She was still irrational, but much quieter.
Mara was distraught. How could they criticize a child in public like that? How could the child bear this?
However, without waiting for her to speak, David gave her a cold look and said in a chilling voice, “You better shut up. Or go back and sign divorce immediately.”
Susie looked at Lulu with her little face tense, not saying a word. She thought Lulu was not bad, but why did she do it every time?
She had a mother to spoil her. Should she be the happiest girl? But Susie didn’t think Lulu was happy.
Martin continued, “Why did you hit Susie?”
