When the people around them heard the couple scold Luis and Alison for a long time, a heated discussion aroused among them.
"Shut up! You didn't take care of your son, so your son hit the girl and he even pushed the shopping cart to hit her. He ended up not standing still and fell and was hit by the shopping cart. There’s no one to blame but yourself. We all saw it!"
"Yes! I was just buying paper towels beside you. If I hadn't stood far away, I would have been hit by you too! There are so many people in the shopping mall. You should watch your son!" "You're too unreasonable. It was your son who bumped into that girl. You didn't apologize to her but blamed her. Now you beat them first. Since you couldn't beat them, you cursed them! It really pisses me off!"
"Cut the crap! I just recorded the video. There are surveillance cameras in the shopping mall. How could you be so shameless and lie?"
More and more people started to condemn the couple.
The couple had injuries on their faces, but they didn't want to let Luis and Alison go, so they had to look at the manager, "Didn't you say to settle it in the office?"
The manager naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said to Luis and Alison, "Let's go to the office, okay?"
Luis nodded expressionlessly. However, the people around him told him not to go there, afraid that the couple would bully him in the office.
The manager quickly assured them that no one would bully Luis and Alison. After that, he took Alison and Luis to the office.
As soon as they entered the office, the woman said, "I won't bother to pick on you about my husband’s and my injuries. My son fell, so he has to go to the hospital for a full body checkup. You have to pay for it! If you don't have the money, give your parents a call!"
The manager had just closed the door when he turned around to hear these words. His face changed, and he said," Madam, I think there is a misunderstanding between you and the two students. We have surveillance cameras. How about discussing the solution after watching them?"
The manager had thought that the couple would look guilty when it came to surveillance cameras. But he didn’t expect them to say, "OK! Let's watch the surveillance cameras, in case others think that we bully them!"
The manager had thought that the couple was sensible. After watching the surveillance cameras, the manager was just about to say something when the woman said, "Did you see that? The girl suddenly dodged, so my son fell down!"
Hearing these words, the manager curled his lips, "Madam, you have gone too far. According to the surveillance cameras, your son hit the girl, and she was pulled away by her classmate!"
"What do you mean? My son is such a little kid. Did he intentionally bully her? She is already a teenager. It's okay if she was bumped into by my son. She made my son fall down on purpose. Why is she so vicious? Just as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover."
Alison and Luis didn't say anything all the time. The woman kept talking, while Luis only recorded the video with his phone.
The woman kept talking when the door of the office was opened. The staff and police officers stood at the door, "Mr. Leon, the police said that a little girl named Alison called them and said that someone deliberately prevented her and her friends from leaving."
After the staff finished speaking, one police officer saw Alison at first glance, " Alison?"
Alison nodded, "Yes, I called the police." When the couple saw the police, their faces immediately changed. The woman fell silent slowly.
