The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 223 Don't Pretend to be Kind

"Emmm..." Before the policeman started to talk, the wretched man on the side stood up to speak to

Aron, "You are her friend, right? I can tell you that I'm being treated unjustly. As we are both adults, she

has the ability to distinguish whether she was forced or not, then why is she accusing me of rape? Last

night, I paid for her drinks and accommodation. Do you have any idea how many glasses of wine she

had drank? I've spent eight thousand yuan on her alone! If I had any intentions of raping her, why

would I spend so much money on her?"

With every passing moment, the salacious man grew angrier as he retold the incident. "Moreover, there

are witnesses who can prove that she followed me willingly when I brought her to the hotel. She gave

her consent. Why am I being accused of rape then?"

"Sit down and shut up! You have no right to talk!" The police officer reached for the man's shoulders

and forced him down to sit on the chair.

"Whatever he said is true. Miss Zhang had drank too much; she had lost the mental capacity to control This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

herself. When she woke up, and realized that she was taken to a hotel room, she called the police in

anger. According to the facts of the case, this cannot be classified as rape. However, Miss Zhang is too

angry to be sensible right now and she is determined to file a lawsuit against him. We can't do anything

about it at the moment, so we asked you to bail Miss Zhang out." The police officer said to Aron. "As to

what Miss Zhang has suffered, please rest assured. We won't rest until justice is delivered fairly."

"You shameless rapist! I'm gonna kill you!" When Mandy heard the salacious man explain himself, she

screamed in a fit of rage and rushed towards the man. Her daughter meant everything to her. When

she found out that her treasured daughter had been raped by such a pathetic man, she got so furious;

she could no longer see straight.

Mandy was swift enough to get near him before the people around her could hold her back. She landed

an open-handed heavy slap across the man's face. With only one slap, he spurted blood from the cuts

where her long nails had caught his face.

The man screamed aloud in pain, "Police! You all saw it! She deliberately assaulted me! I demand

justice!"

"Shut up!" The policeman gave him a real ticking-off. Having noticed Mandy's outburst, the police

requested Aron, "Sir, please look after her. We do not condone fighting inside the police station. In

truth, such behavior makes it difficult for us to do our jobs properly."

The situation at hand was already quite complicated, Mandy's actions would only get herself and her

daughter into more trouble.

"Don't worry. I'll handle her." Aron grabbed Mandy; keeping her from hurting the man again.

"Let me go!" Mandy scuffled with Aron and scolded him, "Aron! Are you satisfied with this outcome?!

Are you happy to see Becky suffer like this?

"

If Aron hadn't cancelled the wedding, they would have been happily married, and Becky wouldn't be in

this miserable state.

Aron silently endured as Mandy kept hitting at him. However, out of the blue, Becky broke her silence.

She suddenly stood up and screamed at Mandy, "Stop hitting him! Don't you see that I'm embarrassed

enough? Do you have to embarrass me even more in front of everyone?

After leaving the hospital, Becky had no intentions of confiding in her family about what happened; she

just wanted to indulge herself in the bar. However, when she woke up next to an obscene man, she

regretted drinking too much and entering the bar in the first place. She called the police in a fit of rage,

because she did not want to accept the fact that she had slept with such a man. On top of that,

Mandy's display of abhorrent behavior made her feel even more embarrassed.

"Becky!" Mandy was panic-stricken; it's the first time Becky had been so angry at her.

Aron slowly let go of Mandy and told the police, "Please let me bail Becky out."

The police officer guided Aron through the formalities and the paper-work. Becky still felt resentful

towards the wretched man. Even if he was thrown in prison, she couldn't change the fact that she had

lost her virginity to him.

After Aron posted bail, he waited for Becky and Mandy at the gate of the police station. After a while,

they walked out one after another. Aron opened the car door and said to them, "Get in the car. I'm

taking you home."

Before Mandy got in, Becky stopped her and said to Aron, "Thanks for your help today. We can go

home by ourselves. You don't need to bother."

Aron refused, "It's no bother at all. It's already quite late, and it'll will be difficult to find a taxi here, at

this hour. Let me take you home." Aron felt unsettled; he didn't expect Becky to retaliate in such a way.

He felt guilty for the situation she was in.

Mandy agreed and said to Becky, "It's the least he could do. Let's get in the car and go home as soon

as possible."

Becky pulled Mandy angrily to one side and said, "Enough, mom. Don't do this. I refuse to get in his

car!" Helplessly, she continued, "Don't you think I've suffered enough disgrace?"

"Becky, you've caused enough trouble. Now listen, and stop arguing with me! Get in the car!" Aron

frowned. This time he needed to make sure to send her back home safely, so he wouldn't have to

worry.

"You think I like arguing with you?" Becky sneered at Aron, "Have you forgotten?

Now that we are separated, you don't have to pretend to be nice to me anymore.

Huh? Have you come here just to humiliate me even more?

You see, I'm just a loose woman, who'll sleep with just about anyone. I am no match for someone as

distinguished as you. Are you satisfied now?"

"Becky, don't talk like that..." Mandy frowned in sadness. She regretted not accompanying Becky to the

hospital that day.

"Have I said something wrong?" Becky felt as if the whole world was against her. Every path she took

was marred with difficulties. In a state of desperation, she asked Aron, "When I was pure and

untainted, did I do anything wrong by falling in love with you?

Why was it so difficult for you to love me, even just a little?"

Becky laughed bitterly, "Why do you think Isla is better than me? Why is it that after all those years

we've spent together, you still don't want to love me? I have loved you wholeheartedly, you know? I

admit that I used the wrong way to win your love, but was I not worthy of your love?"

Aron stood there silently and emotionlessly. Becky continued, "If you want to sever all ties with me, you

must leave me alone. What do you want by helping me now? Are you feeling pity for me? Don't even

bother.

From now on, we are strangers to each other. Please don't pretend to be kind to me."
