“What apology?” May Conner acted as if she were oblivious to what happened.
“You hit her,” Stanley Batton said coldly.
“Don’t make things up. I didn’t even touch her!” May immediately retorted as she subconsciously took a few steps back.
Emily Quest hurriedly ran through the crowd and tugged at May’s hand.
“Mom… Let’s go,” Emily said.
“Do you think you can leave just like that after hitting someone?” Stanley asked coldly. Everyone around felt chills down their spines just from hearing his voice.
“My mother has already said that she did not hit anyone. If you insist on saying that she did, I will claim that Xyla hit herself and blamed it on my mother. You are her husband. Whatever you say can’t be used as proof,” Emily said unhappily.
“Well, in that case, can the surveillance footage be proof?” Stanley turned to look coldly at the surveillance camera above his head.
May, Emily, and everyone else around them shifted their gaze upward.
May and Emily’s faces instantly turned pale.
Meanwhile, people around them began discussing among themselves.
“What are these two trying to do? They are constantly making a joke out of themselves.”
“I really feel sorry for the Sullivan family. I’m sure they won’t live in peace from now on.”
“How embarrassing. I can’t believe May Conner is such an abusive stepmother. She won’t even admit to beating Xyla up.”
Meanwhile, Tom Sullivan, Tony Sullivan, and Bailey Ronson, who were standing in the crowd, seemed utterly mad.
They wished they could skin these two women alive.
“Apologize,” Stanley said coldly yet again with a threatening gaze.
May and Emily subconsciously backed away from the intense pressure.
Tony, no longer able to tolerate what was happening, glared at May before turning around and leaving.
Tom, Bailey, and Mary quickly after him.
“Is there anything I could do for you?” She asked softly.
“If I remember correctly, the surveillance footage in this hotel comes with audio, doesn’t it?” Stanley asked.
“That’s right,” she answered.
When May and Emily heard the response, their eyes widened in shock.
“Transfer the file to me. I’ll hand it over to the police,” Stanley said calmly.
Emily hurriedly stopped the female waitress from leaving as she turned to look at Stanley angrily.
“Isn’t that quite enough? This is our family matter. There’s no reason to make things worse. Let’s stop it right here,” Emily said.
“Whoever messes with my wife will have to pay the price,” Stanley said domineeringly.
“What do you want?” Emily asked frantically.
“Apologize or go back to prison, it’s your choice,” Stanley said.
