Chapter 475 Domestic Violence
When Josie opened the studio doors the following day, she saw Laura, who was there early. Laura was sitting under the sun, and her excellent figure was seen. She looked up when she heard a noise. “Hey. You’re early, Ms. Warren.”
Josie didn’t smile. She approached Laura and carefully examined Laura’s face. Laura had deliberately put on a thick layer of foundation, and her injuries couldn’t be seen. She was in long sleeves and long pants, and everything was hidden.
“Why are you looking at me?” Laura smiled. The next moment, Josie pulled Laura’s wrist and lifted her sleeves. Bruises and scars covered her delicate and fair arms.
Laura’s smile became slightly awkward. “What are you doing?”
“Which were caused by you? And which were by him?” Josie finally asked, incensed.
Laura was dumbstruck. She concealed the dejection in her eyes and turned. “This is common in a wealthy household. I received something I shouldn’t have, so I naturally should pay the price.”
Josie didn’t understand, and she raised her voice. “He pursued you and married you extravagantly back then. Don’t belittle yourself, Laura.”
“I begged him to.” Laura interrupted her, and Josie was startled. “There was trouble at home, and I didn’t have money. Mr. Carter and Mr. Russell helped me, and I wanted more just in case, so I called Summer and asked to borrow money from her, but she didn’t lend me anything.”
“We’ve been good friends for many years. I always looked out for her while she wasn’t in the country, and thought she would help me no matter what. But I never imagined she wouldn’t consider my feelings as much as you did then.”
Josie was astonished when she heard it.
She didn’t think Summer was such a petty person.
Laura smiled as she spoke. “I can feel that he really likes me but looks down on me. After getting married, Zach explicitly and implicitly told me not to work. If I spoke to any other man, he would inexplicably give me the silent treatment. After that, it slowly escalated into domestic violence”
“Aren’t you staying with the Olsen family? Mark and Summer are there as well. Don’t they care?”
“Mark turns a blind eye to his son while Summer and I aren’t speaking. She won’t help me. The whole family isn’t pleased with this marriage.”
