Phillip Parker, who is a branch manager of a bank, leveled a derisive stare at Jennifer, for he knew that Jennifer's fate was entirely up to him to decide.
He could tell others that Jennifer was an honest woman who did not pocket the card that she found, or he could tell the card owner that Jennifer had, in fact, stolen the card. Seeing as the woman's fate was entirely dependent on what he said, Phillip grew audacious.
However, the door was kicked down right then.
“How dare you!” Donald walked into the room with a frigid look on his face. He caught sight of the red handprint forming a stark contrast against Jennifer's pale face, as well as her swollen wrist.
He was heartbroken at the sight of her.
After all, she was someone whom he treasured. Why does she seem to be suffering after we're separated?
Then, he leveled a stare at Keith and chided, “Nobody will be able to save you from me today. Not even god himself.”
Keith was stumped. “Who are you?”
Donald remained impassive. “I am the card owner.
Keith's pupils shrunk as he regarded Donald from head to toe. Judging from the way he's dressed, it sure doesn't seem like his apparel would cost more than five hundred in total. He doesn't seem like a rich man either. Hence, Keith let out a sneer and said, “Right. Did you say this card was yours?”
Jennifer hurriedly stood beside Donald, and it managed to calm her nerves. She lifted her head and was greeted by the man's side profile.
Donald ignored Phillip and turned to look at Jennifer instead. “Which hand did he use to strike you?”
Jennifer shook her head and said, “Forget it. Let's just leave.”
“Which hand?” Donald furrowed his brows and repeated himself.
Jennifer hesitated for a moment and said, “The right hand.”
Phillip let out another sneer. “Why? Are you going to beat me up?”
Donald nodded his head and charged right at Phillip. His movement was so swift that it only took him a fraction of a second to reach Phillip's side.
