Chapter 52 My Not Fear, It's Called Spoiling
Douglas turned to look at Susan and the others.
He still narrowed his eyes in a charming way, appearing harmless and very friendly.
But the air around him noticeably grew colder!
Susan and her sisters were thoroughly frightened. They were very uneasy and stood there trembling.
Douglas looked at Susan, saying in a gentle tone, "Tell me your side of the story. If you are not wrong, even if my sister kills me, I will protect you, but don't lie to me."
Susan stubbornly refused to admit the truth. "She's the one that's lying. Her son was the one who pushed Sulay, and she refused to apologize. I was just trying to speak up for my sister's child. I didn't expect her to be so harsh. She..."
"There must be surveillance here. Let's go check the surveillance footage."
Isabella didn't want to watch this performance and interrupted Susan.
Upon hearing this, Susan suddenly trembled and quickly changed her tone, saying, "I just heard it from my sister. Sister, why don't you explain?"
She shifted the blame onto her own sister, hoping to save herself in the process.
The lady of the house was so scared that she started to cry.
"Sulay pushed her son first, but her son also pushed Sulay back!"
Douglas snorted coldly and then called the security guard over. "Bring them all to the police station and let the police educate them properly," he ordered.
The women were all shocked when they heard it!
Douglas personally said he would send them to the police station, but once they went in, it was hard to get out!
They panicked, but didn't dare to plead with Douglas. They could only look towards Susan.
"Susan, you quickly plead with Douglas. We can't go to jail, Susan, please help us. Today, we all stood up for you. Please."
Susan was also startled. She didn't expect Douglas to act this way. As she was about to speak, Douglas said, "You don't have to go to jail anymore. Consider this as compensation I'm giving for our breakup."
Susan trembled for a moment. To get closer to Douglas, she had put in so much effort. In the end, they were together for only a day before they already broke up.
"Douglas, listen to me. This is my fault. I shouldn't have blindly believed my sister. Can you apologize to Ms. Beniere for me? I love you, and I don't want to break up with you. Please."
Susan seemed to be apologizing, but she completely absolved herself of any wrongdoing.
Douglas said discontentedly, "Don't insist on causing trouble. If you keep pushing me, I might get angry and end up putting you in jail."
Susan was so scared that her legs went weak.
She sat on the ground, just like a deflated balloon.
After the wailing women were taken away, the mall finally quieted down.
Douglas took the initiative to apologize to Isabella. "I'm sorry, Ms. Beniere. I also take responsibility for what happened today. Is the child injured? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Before Isabella could respond, Lily interrupted and said, "Get lost, we don't need your concern. Just go back to where you came from and stop blocking our view here."
She didn't want Douglas to show his face in front of Isabella.
She was worried that Douglas would develop feelings for Isabella and keep bothering her.
She knew Douglas's personality very well. She was genuinely grateful to Isabella, so she didn't want to see something like this happen to Isabella.
In Britney's opinion, anyone Douglas was interested in would have bad luck.
Of course, except for those dishonest women.
Douglas was speechless. "This is really my Britty!"
He was about to say something, but his gaze suddenly swept past as he noticed the person standing on the second floor watching the commotion.
'Huh?! Isn't that Frederick?' he thought.P
Douglas was surprised, said goodbye to Lily, and then went to find Frederick.
He complained as soon as he met Frederick, “Why didn't you lend a hand earlier? If you had taken care of it beforehand, wouldn't Britty have missed the chance to scold me?”
Frederick answered without any hesitation, "I was the one who brought Lily here, and had her wash your eyes."
"What are you doing? Are you deliberately causing trouble, trying to make fun of me? Do you think this is funny?"
"I found it quite interesting, and the jokes were also very entertaining."
"You're not a good brother at all!"
"I am your boss."
"What are you pretending to be, boss? What does this mean? Just to protect that Ms. Beniere, you even have to deal with me?"
"It has nothing to do with her. I just felt unease when I saw Susan hitting the child."
Douglas refused to believe it. "If you're truly interested in someone, just say it directly. Acting timid and fearful doesn't make you seem like a man at all."
"No matter if I am a man or not, at least I am not afraid of women."
"Hmph, don't try to provoke me with sarcasm. You're not afraid because you don't have a sister! I have a beloved, proud sister who cherishes me. It's not about fear, it's about being cherished."
Although Lily often argued with her younger brother, she genuinely loved Douglas. From childhood to adulthood, there had been several times when he almost lost his life.
So Douglas was both afraid of and cherished Lily.
Frederick glanced disdainfully at Douglas and then ignored him.
His gaze fell on Isabella downstairs, then he glanced at Paul in her arms, lost in thought.
"Elliot..." Frederick muttered something under his breath, and Elliot's eyes widened.
"What? Isn't that inappropriate? If you do that, Ms. Beniere would definitely get angry. Haven't you seen how protective she is of the kids?"
Frederick said discontentedly, "I decide what's appropriate."
Elliot said, "The person who breached our security system today has already come forward to explain it was a misunderstanding, and even offered one billion dollars as compensation! Why are you still doubting Ms. Beniere?"
Frederick coldly retorted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Elliot was particularly helpless. 'Frederick could stir up trouble wherever he went. If I did that to Isabella, Isabella would definitely get angry! If he ever develops any feelings for her in the future, he's definitely doomed!'
