Janet’s eyes turned icy cold at the sight.
She stepped forward quickly and spoke sharply in the local language, “Even if there’s a conflict, can’t you talk it out? Why do you have to hit a woman?”
The beaten woman saw Janet standing up to speak for her, and hope instantly lit up in her previously despondent eyes.

But just as she was about to say something, the man yanked her back roughly.
The man sneered at Janet, “What’s it to you? This is my girlfriend. We had a fight, so what if I hit her a few times?”
“Who are you? Why meddle in other people’s business?”
The woman cried out in protest at this moment.
“No, it’s not true. Miss, don’t believe him. I’m not his girlfriend.”
“Not?”
The man let out a sharp, cold laugh, “If not, why did you kiss me? I’m telling you, I have intimate photos of you.”

Janet tried hard to calm down, but her voice still trembled with anger.
“As the person involved, you should know very well whether she consented at that time.”
“Trying to trap a woman with her chastity–how is that any different from forcing her?”
After saying this, Janet turned her head to give the woman a reassuring look.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”

without any thought of backing down.
This time, she didn’t want to see the tragedy repeat itself.

Janet moved her hand, which she had instinctively raised to shield her head.

But the sharp, fair jawline and the beautiful thin lips that were visible hinted at his exquisite, handsome features.
At that moment, an exclamation came from behind Janet.
“Oh dear!”
It was Stephanie’s voice
She hurried over and immediately gave the man in the hat a few hard pats, “Didn’t I tell you to be careful? Why do you cause trouble the moment you arrive?”

“If Rachel and Janet see you, they’ll laugh at you.”
Roger took off his hat upon hearing this.
He looked toward Janet, who was clearly still processing what had happened.

A hint of softness touched his cool expression as a gentle smile emerged.
His voice flowed clear and warm, like mountain spring water.
Janet, sorry for startling you just now.”
Janet finally understood why she’d felt that sense of familiarity earlier.
