Chapter 127
Melanie watched the scene before her unfold, her fingertips ice–cold. She slowly found her voice and muttered softly, “Is this how it is…”
Her throat contracted. She was unable to continue and unable to find the right words. Dylan released her grip on Peachie’s hand and looked at Melanie with anticipation, pleading, “Mel.”
Melanie looked away and breathed in. She was about to speak when she heard Theodore’s chuckle beside her. “Ma’am, I’m the one who called the police. Why are you bothering her?”
Dylan was stunned. She hesitated for a bit before shifting her gaze to Theodore. She had just been shoved by George, and now, her hair and clothes were in disarray.
Rubbing her hands nervously, Dylan pleaded, “C–Can you talk to the police and ask them not to take away my husband?”
Theodore and Eugene exchanged a glance. Eugene’s expression was cold as he remained silent. Theodore frowned disapprovingly at Dylan. “Your husband was deliberately causing harm. Do you
understand this?”
Dylan explained anxiously, “No, he wasn’t intentionally causing harm. He was just in a bad mood.”
Theodore evidently could not comprehend what she was thinking. He could only look at Melanie.
Melanie turned her face away, not looking at any of them. Her lips were tightly pressed.
Following his gaze, Dylan looked at Melanie and immediately grabbed Melanie’s hand. “Mel’s my daughter. Why do we need to trouble the police with our family matters?”
Her nails were a little long, and in her haste to grab Melanie, she left shallow marks on the back of Melanie’s hand. Dylan’s grip was unexpectedly strong, and Melanie could not break free after struggling a couple of times.
Dylan turned to her and asked, “Isn’t he your boss? Quickly explain the situation to him!”
Melanie’s heart sank. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Explain what? To me, that man is just a stranger. Didn’t you see him trying to hit me just now?”
This was the most assertive Melanie had been since meeting Dylan. Dylan was completely stunned. After regaining her senses, she slowly said, “He didn’t actually hit you, did he?”
