"It's none of our business." Lester was not afraid of Jodie, and he had long disliked her. He continued in a deep voice, "Originally, it was none of our business, but you insisted on calling Miss Smith. This is all your fault. If you want to do this to us, we will treat you in the same way."
Both Nathan and Pearlyn saw the marks on Jodie's neck. They were young once, so how could they not know what it meant?
They looked at Jodie and asked, "Jodie, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your neck?"
"What I do is my freedom. I am divorced," Jodie shouted. "Heinz forced me."
Bang!
Lester slapped Jodie in the face. In the next second, he pressed her face against the wall of the living room.
Then, Lester twisted her other hand.
Lester had long since understood that Miss Smith was the one whom the president loved. With Miss Smith's support, it would be fine to give Jodie a good beating.
