Penelope was in a worse state. Her face was swollen, and her hair was messy. She looked more like à crazy woman
than a socialite
Someone called the police, and they arrived quickly at the scene, “Who was fighting?
The officer saw Jackie there and was surprised, “Mr. Clifford?”
Penelope pointed at Violet and said,” Officer, she hit me.”

Penelope’s expression changed.
The officer fell silent for a moment before taking Penelope along.
Daisie wanted to go after them, but Jackie held her back. “Go home.”
She pushed his hand away. “You knew that it wasn’t her fault. Why didn’t you help her?”
Jackie’s expression was awkward. “She fought back too.”
Daisie couldn’t understand. “Do you really hate her that much, Uncle Jackie?”
He didn’t answer. He hated her because he had to marry a woman he didn’t love, but he knew that Violet was

The day turned dark soon on the winter’s night.
Jackie walked out of the station. It was the start of the new year, and the station was fairly quiet. Only a few officers
were there, and when they saw that the person walking in was someone they knew, they greeted him, “Mr. Clifford,
here to get your wife?”
He nodded but didn’t speak.
The walkway was quiet, and the officers’ conversation echoed. “Mr. Lovegood was really so cruel to his daughter?”
He looked back and was going to walk away when the people continued.” Businessmen only care about benefits.
