Chapter 678:
Marlin’s fingers tenderly brushed the vivid red handprint on her cheek, a striking contrast to her pale skin.
Marlin had personally gone out of his way to introduce Dolores to everyone. Who would dare to hurt her after
that? He was furious.
Those who had heard the news followed him, eager to uncover the entire story. With Marlin still present, who

His tone and gaze were as cold as ice, and he looked at her as if she were a complete stranger.
Norah was taken aback by his icy voice and harsh stare.
Were they nothing more than strangers now? What had happened to the kindness he had shown her in the past?
It seemed that sometimes their shared history meant nothing.
Norah's eyes hardened immediately. “Mr. Boyd, rather than interrogating me, why don’t you review the
surveillance footage? That will reveal if | slapped her or not.”
Dolores, in tears, added, “She did it. There were only the two of us in the restroom at that moment.”

Marlin observed the man approaching them and recalled that Sean was well-known and powerful in Glophia.
But it didn’t matter. They were in Silverdale now, where Sean's status meant nothing!
If Sean's girlfriend had made a mistake, she needed to apologize for it.
Marlin stated icily, “Miss Wilson slapped my girlfriend without any cause. | will demand an explanation from her.
If she cannot provide one, we will discuss how she will apologize.” The two men exchanged hostile glances, both
standing up for their girlfriends.
Dolores leaned against Marlin’s chest, sobbing, her face marked with a red handprint, making her appear
genuinely pitiful.
