"Who the hell are you? Believe it or not, I'm going to make a police report. Then, I'll sue you till you go bankrupt!" Christopher roared.
The man said nothing and continued beating Christopher up.
Skylar knew acupuncture points like the back of her hand. She could tell that the man was a professional. His punches didn't cause any detrimental harm. It looked as though Christopher had been beaten half to death, but he would be fine.
"Please leave, miss."
The man finally spoke. However, he was talking to Skylar. In contrast to his ruthlessness toward Christopher, he treated Skylar kindly.
Skylar glanced at Christopher, whose face was covered in bruises. She was rather concerned. Skylar suggested, "I think I'd rather stay back as an eyewitness."
He must've noticed Christopher's actions and jumped in to save Skylar.
"He doesn't look like a good man. We were in the area when he began cornering you. I'll be the eyewitness. I promise things will be fine," said someone from behind.
Skylar looked back. It was a man speaking. She was lucky to have met such kind people that night. Before leaving, she gave them her number, just in case.
As she got into the car to leave, Christopher screamed, "You've changed. You looked on as I got beaten up, and you even wanted to stand as their eyewitness. In the past, you wouldn't have let anyone hurt me!"
"The next time you see me, walk the other way," Skylar instructed.
"You! Skylar, have you forgotten what we promised each other?" asked Christopher.
He couldn't accept the absence of love in Skylar's eyes when she looked at him. After all, she used to be enamored with him. Instead, hatred glinted in her eyes.
"Shut up!" The man slapped a hand over Christopher's mouth.
