Chapter 719

“Huh?” Dorrene was stunned. ‘Did you call the police to arrest yourself? What are you thinking?”

“Don’t worry.” Melody patted Dorrene’s shoulder and said, “I’ll help you resolve this matter in one go today.” Just as Melody finished speaking, a few police officers ran over.

When Robert saw the police officers, joy appeared in his eyes. He endured the pain and shouted, “They hit me! Police, someone hit me! Quickly arrest them!”

Dorrene felt nervous again when she heard Robert shouting. Seeing the police officers walking straight toward them, she was so scared that her palms were sweating.

She quickly thought of something to say, but then she saw the police officers politely nodding and greeting Melody, saying, “Miss Fox, we didn’t arrive too late, did we?” Melody shook her head and looked at Spencer. “Give me your phone.”

“Yes.” Spencer quickly saved the video and handed the phone to Melody. Melody turned to the police officer in the lead and said, “Take a look yourself first.”

“Yes.” The police officer took the phone and played the video at five times the speed. Melody was not in a hurry and waited on the spot patiently.

This police officer was stationed in the police station by Ken. The last time she went to the police station to make a statement, this police officer had taken good care of her. Coincidentally, she had kept the police officer’s contact number at that time, so she had informed him to come over before she attacked Robert for the first time.

Not long after, the police officer had finished watching the video. “It’s just like what happened in the video. I’ll arrange for a lawyer to apply for a forced divorce for the victim. However, I still need your help,” said Melody.

“Don’t worry, leave this to us.” The police officer nodded. After copying the video, he walked to Robert with a cold expression.

Robert’s lower body was still in pain, so he did not pay attention to Melody’s conversation with the police, thinking that the police officers were routinely asking questions. When he saw them walking over, he seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and repeatedly complained about Dorrene.

The police officers despised men who resorted to violence against women and children the most. Before Robert could finish, the police officer waved his hand and said, “Cuff him away!”

Robert was shocked and glanced at Melody. When he saw the expression on Dorrene’s face, he finally realized the police were on their side. He quickly shouted, “She hit me, so why are you arresting me? You’re abusing your power! Everyone, judge for yourselves!”

However, none of the onlookers spoke up for Robert. They even took the opportunity to complain about him, “Officers, don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense. He was the one who hit her first. These few girls were merely defending themselves.”

“That’s right. This fellow is simply a beast. He even beat his own daughter! He locked her in the pig shed and let her snatch food from the pigs!”

The police officers had already learned about this from the video. However, when they heard it with their own ears, their expression could not help but become even uglier.

“Take him away!” They did not want to waste time with Robert and directly handcuffed him and took him away.

After Robert’s figure disappeared from their sight, the police officer in the lead walked forward and said to Dorrene, “Miss, please go to the hospital to do an examination, and then send the report to our Silverlake squad. It will greatly benefit you when applying for your forced divorce later.”

“Thank you! Thank you all…” Dorrene thanked them gratefully. “Don’t mention.” The police officer nodded at Melody and left.

Melody glanced at the market’s exit and then whispered into Spencer’s ear. Spencer quickly answered, “Yes.” He then took the lead and walked out of the market with two large bags of seafood.

Melody was not in a hurry to follow them. Instead, she comforted Dorrene gently, “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright now.”

Dorrene hugged her daughter and tears were still rolling down her face. However, it was not out of fear this time; it was out of gratitude.

“Miss Fox, I really don’t know how to thank you…” said Dorrene. Melody shook her head and said, “No need to thank me. Since Mr. Wallrich has entrusted you to me, this is what I should do. You don’t have to worry about the lawyer; I will help you find a good lawyer.

“Also, it’s best if you don’t go out too often during this period. If you need to buy anything, try to use your phone to place an order.

“Your apartment’s security measures should be quite tight; otherwise, Robert would have come looking for you long ago. He probably couldn’t enter the neighborhood, so he had no choice but to wait for you to come out before stopping you.” Dorrene nodded in agreement repeatedly. “Also…” Melody mentioned to Dorrene the business that Oliver had given her. “When you’ve successfully divorced, you can start learning how to manage the business. When you’ve mastered it, I’ll return all the business to you.”

Dorrene quickly waved her hand. “How can I do that? My father gave it to you, so it’s your asset. And you’ve done me such a favor. You deserve all of this.”

“I won’t accept a reward without doing anything; I won’t accept what’s not mine. Besides, you don’t have a job now. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for your daughter. If you give me everything, what will happen to your daughter in the future? Also, if you don’t have a source of income, the court might sentence your daughter to Robert. I believe you wouldn’t want this to happen, would you?

“Of course, giving Cindy to that man is equivalent to letting her die… Therefore, there’s nothing for you to think about it anymore. Just do as I say. I’ll temporarily return a portion of the business that isn’t difficult to deal with to you. When you’re ready, I’ll pass them all to you. Of course, if you really don’t feel good, I can accept Cindy as my goddaughter. How about that?”

“It’s certainly great!” Dorrene immediately told Cindy to thank Melody. Melody rubbed Cindy’s dry and brittle hair and said, “Cindy’s is too weak. You have to quickly think of a way to nourish her. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for her to grow taller later.”

“Yes, yes, I know. I came out today to buy some nutritious food for her. Unexpectedly, I bumped into that bastard Robert…” At the mention of Robert, Dorrene gritted her teeth in hatred.

Melody comforted her again and said, “When the lawyer is finalized, You need to find a way to gather evidence of his past abuse, infidelity, and gambling habits. That way, custody of Cindy should definitely be awarded to you.”

“Yes, yes! Thank you, thank you so much…” Dorrene was crying and laughing at the same time as she kept thanking her.

Melody then reminded Dorrene a few more times. After exchanging phone numbers with her, she personally sent Dorrene and her daughter off before they got into the car. Cindy waved goodbye to her obediently and said, “Goodbye, Godmother.”

“Goodbye!” Melody pinched Cindy’s skinny face and said with a smile, “You won’t be called Cindy Downey soon, it’ll be Cindy Wallrich.” Cindy did not fully understand what she meant, but she knew that this should be a good thing.

After seeing Dorrene off, Melody, relying on her keen senses, found Spencer at the side entrance of the market. Two men were kneeling in front of Spencer, and both had bruises and swollen faces.
