After Vera helped her up, she slowly lowered her hands from her face. When Vera saw that her forehead was bleeding, she was frightened.
God, this man was so cruel. He had beaten his wife to this extent.
Vera was so angry that she took out her phone.
'TH call the police for you."
This was domestic violence. It was against the law!
However, just as she was about to call the police, the man's expression suddenly darkened. He tried to pounce on Vera and cursed, "B*tch. Why do you care that I hit my own wife? If you dare to call the police, I'll kill you today... Ugh..."
Before the man, Austin could finish his words, there was a cracking sound; Quill had dislocated his arm. He was in so much pain that he cried out and broke into a cold sweat.
Quill's face became grim. "You can try."
His voice was not loud, but his tone was inexplicably cold.
It was obvious that the man was resentful, but Quill had dislocated his arm easily. Not only that, the coldness he emitted made him scared to make another move.
Vera was also taken by surprise. She didn't expect Austin to be so ruthless. She was even more determined to call the police. She looked at him with contempt.
"Domestic violence is also against the law. Even if she is your wife, she is a human being first."
She quickly called the emergency line, but before she could dial it, the woman rushed over and held Vera's hand, crying, "Don't call the police, please... don't call the police..."
Vera was frozen on the spot. She looked at her in confusion. "You..."
Seeing his wife's behavior, Austin sneered, "Don't meddle in other people's business. This b*tch has done something wrong. Call the police? She is more afraid than I am!"
"Shut up! Shut up! I didn't do anything wrong!" The woman glared at him indignantly and turned to Vera, tears falling down her cheeks. "Thank you very much for helping me, but please don't call the police, okay? If you call the police, he...he will beat me even harder."
Vera paused and glanced helplessly at the woman.
"If we don't call the police, do you think he won't continue to hit you?"
Domestic violence had been around for a long time. In the beginning, many women chose to endure it, but their husbands would become even more violent. The men would say that it was their mistakez and that they would change, but later, they would hit and scold their wives as they pleased. If the police were involved, they would get an even worse beating. Because of that, many women did not dare to call the police or do anything. They would just continue living like that.
Vera couldn't stand it anymore. There was a great difference between the strength of men and women. Besides, even if he didn't pamper his wife after marrying her, there should at least be mutual respect, shouldn't it? A man should never treat his wife as a punching bag.
Hence, Vera insisted on calling the police. The woman pounced on her and hugged her tightly. She cried out loud, "Please, don't call the police. Don't call the police. Please."
Vera didn't know what to say.
She hadn't expected the woman to be so stubborn. She frowned and said, "Believe me; it can only be solved by calling the police."
"No, don't!" There was deep fear in the woman's eyes.
Vera looked at Quill, asking for his opinion. She naturally wanted to call the police after getting involved, but the woman wouldn't allow her. What was the purpose of her interfering then?
