Chapter 717
“You have the leisure to stroll around the wet market. Do you know you made my mother sick when you ran away?”
Dorrene immediately thought of her particularly mean mother-in-law, who could also be called a devil.
She gritted her teeth and said, “I won’t return with you! I told you I want to divorce you!”
“Divorce? If you dare to divorce me, I’ll kill you and then commit suicide!”
The expression on Robert’s face was almost crazy.
He was extremely controlling and did not allow his wife and daughter to do anything that was beyond his permission. However, Dorrene ran away with their daughter regardless of the danger.
“Let me tell you,’ said Robert. “It’s useless even if you complain to your father! You are married and don’t belong to your parents anymore. Even if you die, you have to be buried with me. Don’t even think about escaping from me in your life!”
“No! Let go of me!”
Upon seeing that she could not break free from Robert’s grip, Dorrene could only shout for help to the people around her.
“Help! He’s going to hit me! He’s a lunatic! Help us…”
Cindy Downey, her daughter, was so frightened that she started crying.
Cindy’s mournful cries attracted the attention of passers-by and the vendors.
However, most people were frightened by Robert’s madness. Only a woman, who also had a child, boldly walked forward and said, “What are you trying to do in broad daylight? I’ll call the police if you don’t let go of her!”
“Fuck off!” said Robert, glaring at the woman. “She’s my wife, and she’s my daughter. Who are you to interfere in a couple’s quarrel?”
The woman mustered her courage and said, “Even if she’s your wife, you can’t do this…”
Robert was about to curse when he saw everyone around him was staring at him with disgust although only this woman stood up.
He was so used to male chauvinism that he couldn’t stand it. He immediately rolled his eyes and changed his expression. He pointed at Dorrene and said, “You’ve misunderstood. It’s my wife who was indecent and eloped with a wild man with our child. I was so angry that I came to her.”
“No, that’s not it…”
Dorrene immediately wanted to explain, but Robert didn’t give her a chance to speak. He quickly raised his voice and said, “After my mother found out about that, she was so angry that she had a cerebral hemorrhage! However, not only did she elope with my precious daughter, but she also took all the family’s money. Don’t you think she deserves a beating?”
When the woman who kindly stepped forward to help heard that, she coughed awkwardly and stopped getting involved in the mess. She quickly pulled her child away.
Not only that, but the people, glaring at Robert just then, were now staring at Dorrene with disgust.
It was as if Dorrene was a dirty thing with a virus.
“No. He’s lying. I didn’t cheat at all…” Dorrene cried in humiliation, but her explanation seemed especially weak under Robert’s shameless attack.
“Cut the crap! Come home with me immediately. Perhaps I can forgive you.”
“I’m not leaving! Let go of me…”
Robert narrowed his eyes coldly and lowered his voice, saying, “If you dare to continue making a fuss, I’ll skin you alive when we get back home. You know I’ve always done what I said. Also, if you don’t listen, Cindy will suffer with you. Are you sure you’re not going back with me?”
Dorrene knew Robert was a man of his word.
Once, when she refused to listen to him, he was so insane that he locked Cindy in the pig shed and let her live with the pigs for three days!
Dorrene cried until her heart broke, but she could not save Cindy at all because she was imprisoned in the room by Robert.
Considering her daughter’s safety, Dorrene lost all hope and gradually stopped struggling, like a puppet on a string. Upon seeing that, Robert’s expression softened.
“That’s my obedient wife.”
Robert stopped grabbing Dorrene’s collar as he spoke. He grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the wet market.
When Cindy saw that, she quickly cried and shouted, “We’re not leaving. Daddy, let us go!”
“Little bitch, shut up!”
Robert freed one of his hands to grab Cindy.
However, just as he stretched out his hand, and before it could touch Cindy’s hand, a seemingly slender but powerful hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist tightly.
With a cracking sound, Robert’s hand bone dislocated, and his arm drooped limply.
“Ah! My hand!”
Robert held his injured left hand and screamed.
Melody took the opportunity to get Spencer to bring
Dorrene and Cindy from Robert to her back.
“Miss Fox? Thank you… You saved me again.”
When Cindy had an emergency on the way last time,
Melody suddenly appeared and saved Cindy like a god.
Today, she was about to return to the hellish home when Melody appeared in time.
The gratitude in Dorrene’s heart was indescribable, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
However, she was afraid that Melody would misunderstand her as well. She choked and quickly explained, “You should have heard what he said just now, right? I can swear that I’m not what he said…”
Melody nodded in understanding.
“I believe in you.”
Dorrene was moved. Her tears welled up even more in an instant.
“However… it’s not enough that I believe in you.” Melody patted Dorrene’s shoulder and said, “He can’t take you away with me around. If you have anything to say, say it. If you want to do anything to him, do it boldly. Even if you kill him, I can help you.”
Dorrene’s eyes were filled with fear.
“I dare not…”
Melody frowned and said, “There’s nothing to be scared of. Do you want to be bullied by him for the rest of your life? Do you want to be buried with him until you die like he said? If you don’t vent your anger today, even if you divorce him, he’ll haunt you for the rest of your life. I think you don’t want that, do you?”
Dorrene gritted her teeth. She was in a dilemma.
Finally, she mustered up her courage and walked toward Robert after a moment of silence.
“Record it on your phone,” Melody whispered to Spencer as she pulled Cindy, who was crying non-stop.
Although Spencer could not guess Melody’s intentions, he did as he was told.
Dorrene walked up to Robert with a dying expression on her face.
Although Robert’s hand was painful, his words were unforgiving.
“Bitch! You seduced a man outside and dared to collude with an outsider to hit me? Do you want to die?”
“I’m not seducing a man!” Dorrene’s anger had reached its peak. After getting married, she had never dared to look at Robert like this.
His terrifying face in her memory did not seem as terrible as she expected. There was only disgust.
She clenched her fists tightly and said loudly, “You’re the one who’s fooling around outside! Which of the divorced women in the village hasn’t had sex with you? But every time I mention such a thing, you’ll beat me to death!”
