CEO's Dumb Bride

Chapter 76 Confrontation

Chapter 76 Confrontation

Lilian opened her arms to block those people. She was afraid, her shoulders trembling, but she still bravely stood in front of Courtney.

Her actions convinced everyone that she was an accomplice.

The victim's family members became even angrier and went forward to push her away.

But Lilian acted faster and pushed one of the men aside in panic.

She used all her strength, causing the man to stumble backward and crash into the arms of the person behind him.

"B*tch! You think you're justified after killing someone?"

The man swung his arm, trying to slap her. Lilian instinctively raised her hand to block it, but Courtney, with quick reflexes, grabbed the man's wrist and slapped him.

Just like what happened to Julian, the man was stunned by the blow.

But her actions incurred the wrath of the crowd.

"They are truly lawless. Kill these two b*tches and avenge our family."

They fiercely lunged at the two women. Lilian instinctively held Courtney, showing her back to those people.

She had implicated Courtney. She couldn't let Courtney suffer more harm.

That was Lilian's only thought at that moment.

Courtney's expressionless face now displayed anger and gratitude. She pulled Lilian behind her, taking out a baton from the bag on the motorcycle.

The swing of the baton brought about a strong gust of wind which intimidated the crowd.

She spoke coldly, "Since you all claim I'm a murderer, then killing one or a hundred makes no difference. Come on and fight me. I'll send you to hell to meet your family."

Courtney had been in the spotlight since she was little, and her personality was straightforward. She tolerated no bullying and emitted an imposing aura.

Those people thought they could take advantage of their numbers against Courtney, but they didn't have the guts to kill. However, they believed that a poor girl like Courtney could kill.

The leader of the crowd wavered, but he stiffened his resolve and said, "You have no regard for the law! The police station is right across the street. Do you dare to kill us?"

"Try me, and you'll find out."

Who would dare to try?

They looked at each other, trapped in a dilemma. They were afraid to attack, yet unwilling to leave.

The standoff continued until a police siren sounded.

The police station was right across the street, so it was not hard to notice the disturbance. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What are you all doing here?" A loud voice rang out, and the crowd dispersed.

The policemen noticed the baton in Courtney's hand. Lilian instinctively moved closer to her, trying to hide the baton from view.

In the end, everyone was taken to the police station.

Those people wanted justice. Since the person who tampered with the car had been caught, the Sachs family could settle the matter by compensating for their losses.

However, they were not convinced and wanted to gain more money by riding on the trend.

Fortunately, Courtney didn't resort to violence, but her family had to come and bail her out.

Lilian anxiously sat on the bench. If Francis learned that she had come to find Courtney and caused such a disturbance...

She closed her eyes, afraid to think about it.

The situation had escalated beyond her expectations.

While she was tormented internally, she heard a familiar voice.

"I'm truly sorry for the trouble caused."

"No trouble at all. It's our duty. However, this girl from your family is not good at communicating. She looks well-behaved, and I didn't expect her to confront so many people."
