Chapter 177: Cannot Take The Easy Route
Some women there said that Mr. Rourke was a respectable man in society and this must be a misunderstanding. Others trusted that Marcella wouldn’t judge someone poorly.
Charlie pushed the fat man down and he fell on his knees. His bones cracked because of the fall and he screamed in pain.
The little girl woke up. Everyone wanted to hear her words. When the child tearfully told them what happened and how Marcella had saved her, the crowd went wild.
Charlie kicked him on the spine and the fat man sobbed. "I did nothing wrong. I don’t know why she is lying..."
With snot dripping down his face, he looked at the child. "Why are you lying?" The little girl rolled into a ball and hugged her knees in fear. He continued, "I told you lying~ Ahhh!" he shouted as Charlie kicked him in the back again.
The situation got out of hand as the ladies noticed him trying to intimidate the child. Marcella learned from the women that the girl’s father had passed away from an illness and her mother was raising her alone. The child would be alone after school until her mother’s return and that fat pig had tried to exploit the miserable situation of the child for his abominable desire.
The fat man was on his knees crying and pleading that he was not that type of guy and there was a misunderstanding. Within a few minutes, a woman came plowing through the crowd. She was cursing and blaming everyone else for treating her husband like a sinner when he did nothing wrong.
Mrs. Rourke raised her hand to hit Marcella too and she blocked her. "Stay out of this, Mrs. Rourke."
But that lady had a terrible mouth only to be rivaled by her terrible temper. She blamed everyone except her husband. "I know the district attorney and I will arrest every one of you! I am going to file a defamation suit against you! Who gave you all permission to hurt my husband?"
The woman went on. Everyone tried to reason with the woman but she was not listening.
