81 Acting Skills
The police patrolled the bustling commercial area more closely. They noticed from afar that there were many people surrounding the shop entrance. They immediately noticed that something was wrong, and two police officers on duty rushed over.
A police officer entered the store with a gun and shouted, “Stop! Everyone, stop your attacks!”
Although the police arrived in two minutes, the shop was already in a mess. The pungent paint had almost covered all the clothes.
When the police arrived, everyone obediently stopped what they were doing. The middle-aged woman looked at Keeley’s swollen cheeks and felt a little relieved. She pushed Keeley to the ground.
Keeley fell to the ground, her face still burning in pain. Her bones were broken on the floor tiles, and she cried out in pain with tears in her eyes.
The police officer scanned the crowd in the shop and shouted again, “What’s the situation now? Who made the first move?”
Although Keeley’s head was still buzzing from the slap, she immediately stood up despite the pain and pointed at the woman in front of her, complaining loudly, “Mr. Police! I’m Keeley, the owner of this shop. I want to call the police! This woman brought people to my shop for no reason to beat people up. I’m going to Sue her!”
The police saw the middle-aged woman standing in the shop unscathed. It was obvious that she was the one who had started the fight, but they still had to ask her again, as usual. “Hello, Madam. Miss Keeley has charged you for hitting someone for no reason. You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be used against you in court.”
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she smiled calmly and did not reply.
At this moment, a man in a suit walked in quickly with a briefcase. He took out his id and handed it to the police. “Hello, Mr. Police. My name is Robin, and I’m Ms. Lydia’s lawyer.”
After saying that, Robin showed two photos to the police. “The man in the photos is my client’s husband, Nathan, and the woman is Miss Keeley. Not only did they cheat on each other, but they also had a son. They have caused great mental damage to my client, so she did some irrational things on impulse.”
Vivian smiled when she saw this scene and resisted the urge to clap. She thought to herself, well done!
Previously, Lilian had said Lydia was a violent tigress, and after seeing the photo, she immediately brought people to smash the shop. Vivian had thought she was a brainless and impulsive middle-aged woman.
Now, it seemed that the other party’s intelligence and means were very good. Even the lawyer was present, so they were waiting to deal with the arrival of the police at any time.
When Robin finished, the smile on Lydia’s face turned into a bitter smile. She looked sad and covered her mouth with her hand, her voice choked. “Mr. Police, Did you know? I used to think that I was living a happy life with a husband who loved me and an obedient daughter. But today, all of that is shattered! Not only did my husband cheat on her, but he also used the family’s money to open a shop for this woman. When I found out about all this, I felt like the sky was going to fall!”
With her head lowered, the crowd could only hear her sobs as she explained.
When the crowd that had followed the police in heard this, they were all in high spirits.
“So it’s the wife who’s hitting on the third party. I was wondering why she would come knocking on her door for no reason.”
“This woman sometimes comes to the store with her son, but I’ve never seen her husband come here. Oh my God, I can’t believe I’m neighbors with such a person.”
“The morals of the world are getting worse day by day. The heart of the people is not what it used to be. The poor wife’s money has been used by the husband to raise his lover.”
…
Although Keeley’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, no one sympathized with her now. People still had a low tolerance for adultery. Besides, most of the onlookers were women, and most of them were on Lydia’s side.
The situation was on Lydia’s side, and she knew she couldn’t admit it now. She had to find a way to get herself out of it. Otherwise, if Lydia sued her to return their shared property, she would be killed!
It was time to test her acting skills.
Keeley also looked at the crowd with an aggrieved expression. “I didn’t know that Nathan was married. I always thought that we were a normal couple. I like children, but I don’t want to get married, so I never thought of asking him to prove that he was single. I’m innocent.”
