Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1160

David was fierce, his voice was loud, and he had a big build. When he stepped out, he looked fierce and scary, like someone not to be trifled with. Mr. and Mrs. Zais usually looked kind and amiable as they were all neighbors. Although they weren't close, they would still normally greet each other, and everyone understood not to offend friendly people.

That was the first time everyone saw David so fierce. Everyone moved aside when they saw him acting so.

After all, they just came to watch a scene; they weren't there to cause trouble for themselves.

As soon as everyone stepped aside, there was no one to help Amelia anymore. The one initially helping Amelia was a young woman. Seeing that everyone stepped back, she quickly helped Amelia up then said, "Madam Amelia, please stand properly."

After that, she went off along with the crowd.

Amelia was speechless.

Did they all have to be that snobbish?

Weren't they all standing quite near earlier on? The neighbors were afraid of David, but Amelia was not. She straightened her back and said, "David, you came right on time. I want to know how you educate your daughter. How can you allow her to slander others like this? I watched her grow up, and I can be considered her parental figure, can't I? Although I am old and my children are not by my side, you can't bully an old lady like this... Boohoo..."

Mabie followed behind David and was surprised by Amelia's words. She thought that Amelia was simply too shameless.

What did she mean by being a parental figure to Vera? Just because she watched her grow up? She thought of how Sheridan humiliated her precious daughter while Amelia still had the nerve to stir up trouble early in the morning, making their neighbors gather to watch the scene.

If this spread, it'll ruin Vera's reputation as well as their family's.

At this thought, Mabie didn't want to show the slightest bit of kindness to Amelia; she directly criticized, "Amelia, I can still reluctantly agree that you wanted to introduce a man to my daughter out of goodwill. I can also admit that you had watched her grow up. But I cannot agree with you saying that you're like a parental figure to Vera. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that after David and I raised Vera so hard, we could only be considered as half her parents?"

Amelia didn't expect that Mabie would hold a grudge on that, and she didn't know how to refute for a moment, "It's just a phrase; I wasn't trying to say that I'm really her parent. But no matter what, I'm still considered an elder, am I not?"

"Since you are not her parent, you have no rights to discipline our daughter." Mabie stepped forward and pushed David aside.

In terms of eloquence, women were surely better than men. Besides, Mabie already knew how to deal with Amelia a long time ago.

They had been listening in the corridor for a long time, and Mabie was suppressing the anger in her heart, so she didn't intend to allow Amelia any opportunity to refute as she said, "Also, I was listening to the conversation from upstairs. You kept accusing my daughter of having a boyfriend, yet she asked you to introduce her to a man. Amelia, we shouldn't falsify the facts. You were the one who came to the pasta restaurant to introduce this Sheridan to Vera. You already called him over before we could even agree to it. How did it end up as Vera being the one who asked you to introduce a partner to her? Amelia, with the way you're falsifying the facts, I'm highly doubting the story about my daughter's boyfriend beating Sheridan up and causing him to end up with dozens of broken bones. You probably lied and made those stories up as well, didn't you?"

Vera stood on the side and looked at her mother. After listening to those words, she felt very pleased and more confident. Originally, she thought that her parents would not let this matter escalate because they cared about their reputation, and they would rather deal with it in private. She did not expect them to come forward to help her.

"You! Mabie! How dare you say that I'm falsifying facts? You better make it clear right now!"

"Amelia, just say did you personally go to the restaurant to introduce someone to Vera? There were so many witnesses at the restaurant; it's not something you can deny easily! Looks like what I said is true, seeing that you still won't admit."

"I... I have just suddenly forgotten

het

about it because I was anxious. So what if I was the one who took the initiative to introduce Sheridan to Vera? Wasn't it for her sake as well? Sheridan is such a decent kid, but now he's in the hospital because you guys had beaten him up; what a sinful thing you've all done!"

"Amelia, don't change the topic. Let's make it clear Are you allowed to slander my daughter just because you got anxious? What kind of

reasoning is that? You said that net

Sheridan ended up in the hospital with dozens of broken bones. I don't think this can be made clear. Why don't we call the police now and let

the police analyze the situation?"

After that, Mabie did not hesitate to take out her phone in front of everyone; she was firm on calling the police.

Amelia's eyes darted left and right; no one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, she stepped forward and pressed on Mabie's hand.

"Mabie, why are you calling the police? The authorities can't settle such domestic problems! If you don't believe that Sheridan is badly injured, you can go to the hospital with me to have a look." "Guys, don't you all think so?"

The neighbors looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Let's go and have a look then. If he really got beaten up, he would definitely still be in the hospital. But is it as serious as Amelia described?"

"Yeah, I also think that we should go and have a look. It's unreasonable of them to beat someone up that badly."

"Isn't it? I would like everyone here to judge the situation. Let's go to the hospital."

Just as everyone was about to go to the hospital, they heard a cold voice.

"There's no need for that!" Vera

stood there and looked at everyone coldly. "Everyone, we're all

neighbors, and I respect all of you seeing that you're my elders. But if you can even make a fuss about this, then don't blame me for ignoring you in the future. only say one thing; my friend wouldn't beat people up. Even if he did, then Sheridan deserved it."

"Hey, Vera, are you afraid now because everyone is going to the hospital?"

"I'm afraid?" Vera smirked and suddenly glanced at Quill, who had been standing behind and watching. He didn't do anything at all, but he didn't leave either. He obviously stayed to back her up. Before they reached, she read through the extra copy of documents Juliette gave her. Sheridan had committed a lot of crimes; just one was enough to send him to jail.

Their eyes met. Quill could guess what Vera was thinking; he nodded to her.

Vera made up her mind.

"There's no need for everyone to go to the hospital. You probably won't replace him there. As for the reason, you'll know when he is in prison."
