[This woman sure has tricks. She got exposed for having an affair with an older man, but her boyfriend still defends her.]
[Wait, didn’t her boyfriend just hit her? Isn’t that abuse?]
[What’s wrong with hitting her? She deserves it! Why should he act nice when he’s been cheated on?]
[Oh, look, someone’s trying to talk about domestic violence again. Stop defending the mistress!]
[When your husband cheats, don’t hit the mistress! Take her home and treat her well or she’ll look down on you.]

Veronica stood there with a smug smile, clearly enjoying the chaos. Fear rose inside me.
I shouted to my colleagues, “I don’t know this man! He’s not my boyfriend! Call the police!”
One coworker hesitated.
“Maybe we should call the police first? What if he really hurts Isabella?”
Veronica quickly snapped, asking back, “Why are you getting involved in a couple’s fight? If you call the police, she’ll probably accuse you of hurting her precious man.”
“Haven’t you seen those fake victims online?”
The kind colleague glanced at me again, but slowly put his phone back into his pocket.
Veronica winked at the man, who grabbed me more eagerly and tried to pull me away.
