The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 75

The police station had stepped in to investigate Oliver's domestic violence.

Chloe had decided to take a zero-tolerance approach to that. She made it clear that she wouldn't accept any form of reconciliation.

Because experience shows that domestic violence either doesn't happen at all or happens countless times.

If she chooses to accept mediation and forgive Oliver, then in the future, Oliver's domestic violence might get even worse.

During the mediation, Oliver got a bit heated because of Chloe's firm stance.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. But with the police station staff present, Oliver didn't act rashly.

Oliver threw down a cold sentence, "Chloe, I am also Aria and Austin's dad. Are you really going to sue me? If I'm detained, aren't you afraid the kids will miss their dad and be sad?"

Chloe laughed at that, "When you're not in detention, do you really care about and take care of Austin and Aria? In reality, I've been taking care of both kids all along."

Oliver's family did not help Chloe with the kids; she even had to take care of them herself during her postpartum recovery period. Oliver and his family didn't offer any help.

After marrying into his family, Chloe was always the one raising the children.

And then, that man dared to abuse her, she'd decided to take it no more and to divorce him.

Oliver angrily responded, "Why are you so heartless? I'm your husband, your partner. How could you treat me like this? Haven't you ever fought back? We've hurt each other; you should go back with me and solve this privately. Don't make a scene here."

Chloe coldly responded, "The one who's making a scene is you, Oliver."

The police station staff gave Oliver a severe lecture, but he showed no remorse, so the police decided to detain him.

Oliver disagreed and argued that Chloe had also attacked him; why wasn't she being detained?

The police showed him a pile of evidence, "This is the injury assessment after Chloe's complaint; this is the video surveillance of you abusing her. Chloe attacked you after you attacked her; this is considered self-defense and does not constitute a crime."

Oliver had nothing to say.

Oliver was taken to detention, and Roxanne accompanied Chloe home.

Since Chloe's house had already been rented out, Roxanne spent the whole day after returning from the police station helping her find a new place to live.

They didn't find a suitable place until ten o'clock at night.

Harrison called Roxanne after he got home.

He learned that Roxanne was helping Chloe move and clean her new house, so he also went to the new house Chloe had rented to help clean up.

Chloe handed a bottle of mineral water to Harrison.

"Harrison, thank you. You came to help right after work. I really appreciate it."

Harrison took the water and calmly said, "Don't mention it; we're all friends."

He respected Roxanne’s friends and was happy to help.
