Isn't this the guy from last night?
However, his ride seems different than yesterday.
The rich indeed live luxuriously.
His gaze swept over me but his expression never changed.
It seemed as though he didn't recognize me.
Perhaps he genuinely doesn't remember what I look like, or maybe he's just trying to keep up appearances in public.
No matter what, what happened last night was an accident, the best course is for both of us to go our separate ways.
My mom isn't a fool, she clearly sees that this man is wealthy and she quickly lies on the ground, moaning dramatically, "My head hurts so bad after being hit, and it feels like I've injured my ribs.
Ah, my leg is aching... I don't know how much it will cost to go to the hospital.
With our old bones, it would be best to just buy some medicine ourselves and deal with it."
My mom was clearly trying to scam the guy.
I stood awkwardly to the side, not knowing what to do, I tried to pull my mom away but she was adamant about framing him and refused to move.
I stayed silent, too embarrassed to speak, firstly because it was humiliating, and secondly, I was afraid that this man would recognize me.
"The medical expenses will be fully covered by me.
If something really happens, I'll take responsibility.
If not, I'll file a fraud charge against you."
His voice sounded cold and calm, shocking my mom with his few words.
"Honey, let's go!
Don't we have to go to the police station?!"
My mom scrambled up from the ground and ran towards our car.
I bowed towards the guy and apologized before following my mom.
I don't know if it was my illusion, but I felt a burning gaze watching me from behind.
When I looked back from the car, however, the man had left.
When we got to the police station, my mother offered an explanation to the police, stating that James had accidentally used excessive force when taking me home, causing me to get hurt.
It was merely a minor dispute between a couple, not domestic violence.
I sat quietly to the side.
Given my mom's behavior today, I am afraid she would risk her life again if a quarrel starts.
And I, I am not ready to lose.
Therefore, James, who was initially detained for ten days, was released right away.
My parents took me back to their home, and as soon as we arrived, my mom pushed me to the ground, demanding that I kneel and apologize to James.
"Why should I apologize to him?
What did I do wrong?"
I was stubbornly trying to stand up from the ground when James mother kicked me.
"You did such shameless things, and you still have the audacity to question it.
If you are willing to apologize, James might make do with you.
Don't be dissatisfied!"
This kick landed precisely on my lower abdomen, the pain was so intense that beads of cold sweat appeared on my forehead.
What a cruel woman!
Not only does she ignore her son's impotence, but she is also trying to render me infertile with that kick?
If I continue to stay in James's house, I would be killed by this mother-son and sister sooner or later!
"Mom, it's not my intention to find another man!
It's James who's impotent, forcing me to take medications he prescribed himself and even attempted to deflower me with a cucumber last night!"
I finally let everything out. I felt light.
Finally, I did not have to endure anymore.
Finally, I could escape from all of this!
"Slap." A slap landed on my face.
It was my mother who slapped me.
My face was stinging, but the pain in my heart exceeded it.
"Do you have no feminism in you?
Even if he cannot perform, you should not be seeking others.
If not for James, would you have been able to go through school, have such a worry free life?
Stop thinking about such obscene things all day, it's disgraceful!
James has an issue, I know a traditional American medicine practitioner who
specializes in treating this, he surely can fix it.
I hope you could be understanding, and not blame her.
This marriage must not end."
My parents quickly left, leaving me alone at home.
It felt no different from being in a lion's den.
James, with a cold look on his face, dragged me into the room.
I reached the point of trembling, feeling cold all over.
Just then, a knock came from the door.
Aria went to answer it and a man dressed in a suit stood at the entrance.
"Hello, my name is Edward Boss, I am a lawyer."
