"What...what do you mean?" the girl asked.
"I'll first take you away from here and call the police! They are indeed breaking the law, to begin with!" Kingston said extremely calmly.
The girl shook her head and smiled miserably. "Why are you saving me? You're from out of town, so you don't know. Just hurry up and leave.”
When he saw that the girl had already been so humiliated, but she was still hell-bent on letting him escape, Kingston was very touched.
To be honest, the girl did not look the slightest bit like his cousin at all. After listening to it closely, her voice was not similar to Yvonne's as well. The only thing
similar was their names. The girl’s name sounded just like Yvonne.
"You and my cousin share the same name. This must be fate. Since I’ve seen you being bullied, I can't just sit idle and not care at all. Let's forget who among you guys is right or who's at fault. They had beaten you up on the street and they even asked you to kneel, which makes them wrong," said Kingston justifyingly.
The girl was speechless. She was still hesitating and did not leave with him.
"What is there that you still can't bear to part with?" Kingston was confused.
He was even tempted to tell her that even though they were in the mountains, communication technology was already very well-developed at that moment, so there was no way she was so outdated that she did not know the slightest bit about the
law, right? She kneeled when they asked her to and bowed when they asked. How could she be so outdated?
However, Kingston did not say anything at all.
Just when he was thinking of another way as he intended to bring the girl away, both he and the girl were already fully surrounded by people.
"Jerk! You're here to help this woman without a conscience, after all!"
"You wanted to call the police, didn't you? Go on then! I'll see if the police will help you after you've called them! She is a person who dared to go against her mother. She deserved to be put in prison! As her mother's family, what’s wrong for us to teach her a lesson on behalf of her mother?" "Get out of the way! Do you want to be beaten together?"
"Even if you're her parents, you can’t beat up your own children like that, let alone cousins! You will be held responsible in law for beating someone up in broad
daylight. Besides..."
Kingston looked at everyone that was present. The two siblings who had said that they wanted to beat up the girl behind him did not dare to move after hearing what Kingston said.
Kingston looked at the middle-aged woman with a mixed expression who was standing in the middle of the crowd." Madam, the girl that was beaten up is your daughter, right?"
The middle-aged woman was speechless. At that moment, her expression was very complicated. He could not tell if she was furious or what she was feeling? In short, she looked upset.
"Do you think there is someone else in this world that is closer to you than your daughter? You got people to beat her up. What if something were to happen to her? Won't you feel heartbroken?" Kingston was thinking that he was also a person who has a cousin.
Her cousin's disappearance caused his aunt and his uncle to nearly be sick beyond recovery.
