Chapter 75
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.
At that time, he didn't think of himself as some high and mighty CEO or boss.
After cleaning the room for three to four hours, he was indeed a bit thirsty.
Harrison looked at the brand of water in his hand.
Nestle, Aguafina.
He had never drunk that kind of water before.
The bottled water he usually drank was either French spring water or sparkling water, which was
several times more expensive than Aguafina.
But it seemed he had gotten used to Roxanne's lifestyle; he didn't care so much about this cheap
bottled water anymore.
He took off the cap and gulped down most of the bottle.
At that moment, his phone rang, and he walked away to take the call.
Chloe gently nudged Roxanne.
"Anne, your husband is a good man; you picked the right one. When are you planning to establish a
husband-wife relationship with him?"
"What do you mean by establishing a husband-wife relationship?"
"Don't play dumb. You know what I'm talking about."
"Are you saying we should sleep together?"
"You've been married for a month; you can't keep sleeping in separate rooms. It's too unfair to let
Harrison sleep on the sofa all the time."
"These things should be consensual; we can't rush."
"You need to take the initiative."
"Chloe, I'm really surprised; you just experienced domestic violence, and you still have the leisure to
care about Harrison and me?"
"What do you expect me to do? Cry my eyes out and want to die because of what happened?"
"You're very determined this time."
"I had no choice. What I'm talking to you about now is serious, you and Harrison..."
Just then, Harrison ended his call and came back to them, asking, "What are you two talking about
me?"
"Nothing." Roxanne smiled, "Chloe was telling me that you're a good man, and I should cherish you."
After leaving Chloe's home, Roxanne and Harrison rode their e-bike back to their rented house.
After taking a shower, Harrison, drying his hair, knocked on Roxanne's door.
Roxanne didn't open the door. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Harrison had something to say to her, so he just opened the door himself, just in time to see Roxanne
undressing.
