Chapter 280 Your Life Is Shit
Ruben cried out in pain, “You, bitch! Just you wait! I’m going to sue you!”
Abby’s shoulders trembled as she recalled the countless times she had been. subjected to domestic violence and had no one to rescue her.
Sensing her fear and sadness, David held her hand and reassured her, “It’s okay. We’ll protect you.”
Lloyd couldn’t bear to see Abby suffer. He patted her back and whispered, “Young girl, just tell the truth. Do you want to go with him? No one can force you to do so.”
Abby was obviously touched. She tried to huddle herself up for a sense of security and said softly, “I… I don’t want to…’
“You, traitor! How dare you disown your father? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
David glared at Ruben. “She doesn’t want to go with you! When you’ve been disowned as her father, how can you call yourself a man?”
Some people couldn’t stand it anymore.
A middle-aged man about Ruben’s age said, “Hey! After all, they are father and daughter. We can’t let them sever their blood relationship, can we? Can outsiders love a daughter more than her own father?”
Upon seeing that someone was supporting him, Ruben nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Who knows what intentions you have for breaking us up? You’re all brainwashing my daughter!”
“Shut up!” Aylin’s cold eyes were as sharp as knives, which startled the talkative man secretly. She withdrew her gaze and opened her red lips sharply. “Some people are not worthy of being a father at
all.” She had never bothered to cover up for the beast of a father. “Do you know that the reason this young girl is lying here is because she was beaten up by this scumbag?”
As soon as she said that, everyone was in an uproar.
“Beating your own daughter up for surgery? Really?”
“This is too crazy…”
Abby pursed her lips and raised her head. She wanted to say something, but she could not utter a word even after holding her head up for a long time. Lloyd had a lot of interaction with children, so he patiently guided her.
“Don’t be afraid. Just say what you want to say, and we’ll help you solve it together.”
Aylin also looked over encouragingly.
“He…” Abby took a deep breath, looked ahead blankly, and retold the past with a pale face. “Dad always beats me up. When I was young, my mother didn’t come home for a long time. I was so hungry and wanted my father to give me something to eat. But Dad went to play cards and ignored me. When I asked him to go home, he hit me with a chair and burned me with a cigarette. He even asked me to die… However, I was really hungry. I was about to starve. to death. I called my mother, but she didn’t answer. All the money in the house was taken by my father to play cards. I was so badly beaten that I couldn’t get up, so I could only sleep in the room. I hoped it wouldn’t hurt when I fall asleep…”
As she spoke, she broke down a little. She lifted her sleeves to reveal her arms under her clothes. Her wrists were slender, but her skin was still full of
The. bruises. There were both new and old injuries, which were extremely jarring to look at!
David’s eyes turned red with anger. He went up and punched Ruben. “You jerk! You really did it!”
Everyone in the room burst into tears.
The facts spoke louder than words. Many patients had their own children, who were about the same age as Abby. They couldn’t figure out how a father could be so cruel to his daughter!
“This child is too pitiful. I don’t care, but she has such a father!”
“She’s about the same age as my daughter. How can she suffer like this? I really can’t bear to see this…”
“Whoever speaks for that man again, arrest and investigate them. I guess they’re also an abusive person!”
For a moment, the crowd was agitated. Ruben became the target of criticism, and no one echoed him.
Ruben was furious at their contemptuous gazes, but it was the truth. He couldn’t refute it, so he could only howl, “My daughter, I can do whatever I want! It’s well within my rights as your family to beat you up! I’m your father, so you have to be beaten up by me! Who cares? I’ll see who cares!”
A cold glint flashed across Aylin’s eyes. Ruben was digging his own grave.
The crowd couldn’t bear Ruben’s vicious heart, and they all cursed, “Bah! Do you deserve to be called a human being? You’re a beast! You don’t know how to protect your child, and you’re worse than a pig or a dog!”
Lloyd received Aylin’s signal and understood it immediately. He cleared his throat and stood up seriously. “I warn you, as a lawyer, that what you did can fall under the case of abuse. Whoever intentionally hurts another person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, or control; if serious injury is inflicted, the person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.”
When Lloyd mentioned his old profession, Ruben was at his fingertips. Lloyd exuded an unbelievably powerful aura.
He said coldly in disgust, “For a scumbag like you, who almost made your daughter critically ill, the situation is serious and bad. You haven’t run away for more than ten years.”
“Bullshit. It’s not up to you…” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Ruben stood up and cursed angrily. Aylin used all her strength to knock Ruben’s head on the table.
“It’s up to me to decide. If you can’t raise your daughter, I’ll do it!”
Everyone was shocked by her agility.
Facing Ruben, her eyes were cold and domineering.
After saying that, Aylin looked at Abby with a warm expression. “Abby, are you willing to come with me?”
Abby had almost thought she was going to die. If Aylin hadn’t come to save her, she might not have been able to see the sun every day.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded vigorously. “Okay! I want to go with you, Aylin!” She didn’t want to go back to that hellish home anymore!
“Why should you make a decision with just one sentence? Let go of me!”
Ruben’s nose was bleeding, and there were two red marks below his nostrils.
He was furious and kicking wildly like a raging mad dog; it was as if he was on a mission to kill Aylin.
Without any fear, Aylin leaned over and dodged the attacks. She punched
Ruben in the eyes, which instantly made him look like a panda!
While Ruben was covering his eyes and shouting, she took the stool next to him and smashed it hard onto his back!
His whole body was in great pain. In the blink of an eye, both of his hands were twisted behind his back, and he was controlled by Aylin.
Unwilling to give up, Ruben rolled his eyes and used his last move. “You can’t decide this alone! And the child’s mother won’t allow you to take her away!”
Aylin raised her eyebrows. “Really?”
After David and Aylin had exchanged numbers, they immediately threw the information in the document at Ruben’s face.
“Are you a fool in front of others? You and your wife have divorced a long time ago. She didn’t want a child at all, and the child was given to you. Who are you fooling?”
Ruben was dumbfounded.
His divorce was an extremely well-kept secret, and no one else knew about it except Serena. How did they hear about it?
Aylin looked at him coldly. “If you fail to be a husband or a father, your life is just like shit that stinks badly. I’m telling you right here – I’m going to take her custody!
