The Supreme Soldier in the City

Emily Lopez suddenly sat next to James Brown in frustration, swaying his arm and said aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, how could you do this?"

James Brown quickly made a pained face and said, "I didn’t want to, that night I was ready to go to sleep, but your sister was worried your parents would keep pestering her about having kids, so she insisted on making some noise for them to hear. She couldn’t do it herself, so she forced me to help her. I was completely coerced into it. Do you think I’m wronged? I feel like I’ve been raped, not only can I not complain, but I also have to serve as the Lady of the Manor."

Emily Lopez giggled, patted James Brown’s arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I know you were forced, it’s not your fault, you don’t need to feel guilty."

Gina Lopez felt bitter inside, although what James Brown said was true, from beginning to end, it didn’t seem like James Brown was at a disadvantage at all, whereas she suffered a lot. Now that James portrayed himself as victimized, it seemed like she was the one at fault. It made Gina feel like she had struck a bargain only to be cheated and ended up losing a lot of money, yet she was the one who appeared guilty.

James Brown, I’m telling you a fact, now that such a thing has happened between us, do you think we still have no relationship at all?

Emily Lopez immediately interjected, "What does it matter whether we have a relationship or not? Does a woman have to marry her rapist if she is raped? If that’s the case, any man who sees a woman he likes could just go and rape her.

Gina, stifling her frustration, ignored Emily and glared fiercely at James Brown.

At this moment, James Brown fiercely stubbed out his cigarette and, facing Gina’s gaze, said, "Gina, as a man, I have my own principles. Although you’ve hurt me physically and emotionally, I cannot submit; I still need to pursue my own happiness."

Gina almost collapsed, as James Brown sounded so sorrowful, almost like a woman who had been raped, which infuriated her so much she wanted to grab the fruit knife from the coffee table and stab James Brown several times.

Emily Lopez burst out laughing, her hands on James Brown’s shoulders, trying to hold back her laughter, said, "Brother-in-law, you’re absolutely right, we’re not women to accept things just because we are at a disadvantage."

Then James Brown’s phone rang. He quickly answered and yelled into the phone, "What? Such a thing happened? I’ll be right there, be careful."
