However, the middle-aged woman had just taken a couple of steps forward when her husband yanked at her hand.
“That’s enough! Are you trying to bring more shame to us? Hurry up and come home with me.”
Then, he looked at Bonnie guiltily and said, “I’m sorry, Bonnie. I shouldn’t have let my wife come all the way here to humiliate you. Don’t worry about it, though. I’ll take her away and get out of your hair now.”
The middle-aged woman heard what he said and stomped her foot out of frustration. She was so mad that her face turned red.
“Take me away? You wish! I’m not going to leave until I’ve taught this bitch a lesson. Let me go, right now!”
Her husband continued to persuade her. “Will you knock it off? We can talk about all of this back home.”
“You think I’m a fool and don’t know about it, but I do. You’re only soothing me for the sake of that bitch. You’re going to take me back first. Then, the two of you are going to cook up a plot to deal with me! Well, tough. I’m not going to give you the chance.”
She began scratching and clawing at her husband. She looked so savage that it perfectly encapsulated what a dog with rabies would look like.
In the end, her husband couldn’t stand her anymore and slapped her heavily.
“Didn’t you hear me? I said, knock it off! We’re going home now. Stop making things hard for Bonnie. I’m going to teach you a lesson if the university expels her because of the mess you made today!”
She covered her face and stared at him in disbelief. Then, tears began rolling down her cheeks.
“I-I’m your wife. I-I was there with you when you were at your most miserable! H-How could you slap me because of this bitch? Aaaargh! I’m going to make you pay.”
The middle-aged woman and her husband started hitting each other, giving rise to a sight that was simply too hard to watch.
Meanwhile, Niko held the baby in his arms and pretended to stop him. “Stop it, you guys. Stop it right now.”
The trio’s little show was so successful that the onlookers started discussing it more intensely.
