Anthony frowned, and looked at Mavis in disbelief.
Domestic violence?
It was obvious that she was pregnant with the baby of a wild man, and he didn't even touch a finger of her.
In order to divorce him, she really did everything she could.
As if she could feel his gaze, Mavis avoided looking at him, but kept her eyes on the policeman.
The policeman's expression changed when he saw Anthony.
"I thought it was just an ordinary case, but I didn't expect you to be a habitual offender. We can't tolerate domestic violence the most in Delta Union. You'll have severe sentence. Immediately go with us to investigate."
The metal handcuffs were resolutely put on Anthony's wrists. Gawain covered his painful face, and glared at Anthony excitedly, wishing that he would go to prison immediately.
Ella didn't expect that there would be domestic violence, and Anthony's handsome face instantly turned into a scum in her eyes.
Anthony was pulled away by the police, but Mavis reacted belatedly and stepped forward to stop him.
"Wait, sir, I just heard you say that he will be sentenced. Is it true that if it is confirmed, he will be imprisoned in Delta Union?"
"Yes."
"But... he is not a Delta Union citizen. His native place is Crana."
The police explained unhurriedly, "We will apply to the National Investigation Bureau in Crana to classify the case as a transnational case. Domestic violence is zero tolerated in our country, not to mention you are pregnant. If the case is established, he violates our laws in Delta Union. According to the law, he will be handed over to the Crana police for further processing after the execution period has passed."
A lot of reasoning made Mavis dumbfounded.
"I just want a divorce, not to send him to jail."
The police said earnestly, "Miss Parker, you don't have to worry about your husband's revenge. Don't worry about telling the truth. We will help you."
"This is the truth..."
She was a little anxious.
Originally, she wanted to take the opportunity to take the matter to court, so that the judge could order a divorce and enforce it. So, Anthony would never have a legitimate reason to pester her in the future.
Who knew that Delta Union's laws were so strict on domestic violence, and if it was confirmed, he would have to go to jail.
Anthony was so calm that he couldn't be bothered. His deep blue eyes were fixed on Mavis, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was as calm as if he wasn't the one who was handcuffed.
Mavis couldn't be so calm, but wanted to explain clearly to the police.
"Sir, this is a bit complicated. I just said it in a rather general way, and I didn't express my meaning clearly..."
The policeman looked at the watch. "Miss Parker, the time is limited. We have to take the suspect back first. You and Mr. Gawain just need to wait for the notice, and you will be summoned to take notes later."
After speaking, several policemen took Anthony away.
Anthony didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and didn't make a rebuttal. Before leaving, he just gave Mavis a meaningful look, as if silently saying: If this is what you want, then I will fulfill you.
Mavis felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to catch up with them, but was stopped by Ella.
"Mavis, don't go there. You have been pregnant for six or seven months. What if something goes wrong?"
Seeing that Anthony was about to be taken into the police car, Mavis asked anxiously, "Ella, if it turns out that he has no domestic violence, will he be fine?"
Obviously Gawain's matter can be dealt with privately. As long as the compensation was enough and Gawain didn't pursue it anymore, it will be fine.
There was no way Anthony could be facing jail.
Ella signaled her to relax, "If there's no evidence of his domestic violence at all, there's a high probability that he will be fine."
However, Ella was still a little curious. "Mavis, did he ever have a domestic violence against you?"
"No, I just want an excuse for divorce. Sorry, I was reckless."
