The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 576

In the Police Station, as soon as Meredith went in, she saw Easton sitting inside. She hurriedly stepped forward and check him carefully. After finding that his clothes were not torn and he was fine, she finally felt relief.

Easton had said that he saw someone physically abusing a child and he was going to save her. She worried that if he would be beaten as well. Now, she finally felt relief.

"Mom, I'm fine, but this woman was going to hit my friend on the street. I had no choice but to call the police."

Hearing the word friend, Meredith was curious.

Easton was precocious and thought other children of his age were naive. He didn't like to play with them. It was unexpected that he made a friend.

Meredith looked at the position Easton was pointing at and saw a little girl sitting on a chair, with uneasiness and fear in her big eyes. Unlike Easton who had a plump and fair face, the little girl looked skinny. Her dress was too big for her so that she looked more emaciated in that dress.

Meredith felt pity for her. She felt so familiar with the little girl's expression, which reminded her of herself in the past when she was alone and helpless.

"We found out that this lady has indeed beat the child. And we have already criticized her. Now, this thing is over."

Hearing what the police said, Fiona couldn't help but tremble.

Easton saw the girl's reaction and unhappily shouted, "What kind of solution is this?"

He had just noticed that there were a lot of bruises by slaps or pinches on Fiona's body. It looked shocking. It was obvious that when Fiona was at home, that woman often violently beat Fiona.

If her punishment was just scolding. She, such a shameless woman, would never take it seriously. As a result, her friend would be beaten again when they returned home.

"Mom, we can't let her go back that home. Look."

Easton grabbed Fiona's hand to show Meredith the scars on her body. "I don't believe that vicious stepmother will accept the criticism and change. We have to find a way to help my friend."

Seeing so many scars on the little girl's fair arms, Meredith, as a mother, knew what happened to this girl. She agreed to what her son said.

"That's right. Officer, this matter can't just end this way. If the little girl goes back home and that woman beats her again, I'm afraid such a young child won't even be able to call the police. What if tragedy really happens?"

"What's your relationship with them? I suggest you not to meddle in others' family's business."

When the police heard that Meredith didn't want to leave but to pursue the matter, he became impatient.

Isn't it common for parents to educate their children with a rod? If everyone pesters him with such commonplace, how could he handle something more important?

Meredith frowned and was about to say something more, but the police did not want to listen. "Lady, it's not a thing that can be solved in one step. Are you responsible for her whole life?"

After the police finished speaking, he drove them out.

Hearing what the police said, the woman in the corner was not dejected anymore. She gave Fiona a warning look and pulled her away.

Fiona was scared. She had reported her stepmother's guilt to the police but her stepmother only got oral criticism. Obviously, her stepmother didn't take it seriously. What was waiting for her was her stepmother's fiercer abuse.

So she cried out, "No, I don't want to go home. I'm scared!"

"Where else do you want to go if you don't go home? Your mother abandoned you a long time ago. Come on, come home with me."

When the woman found that the police wouldn't interfere, she took her original violent way to dragged Fiona.
