Although Ian had training, he was restrained on both sides and couldn't use full force.
I exchanged a look with my parents, and just as we were about to grab brooms and mops to rush out, we heard the police outside.
The neighbors and Adeline and Aaron were all taken away.
I didn't intend to sit idly by.
I called my parents and secretly followed them.
I feared that Adeline and Aaron would use their usual tactic of moral blackmail on the police.
So, I had to testify for the neighbors, proving that they acted in self-defense.
As I expected, just as my family arrived at the police station.
We saw Ian, his face flushed with anger, arguing with Adeline.
"You really know how to twist facts. It was your dumb son who knocked on my door and harassed my wife. How did it become me bullying you two?"
Adeline maintained her usual performance.
"We have nowhere to go. It's so cold outside, and we have no money. We could only take shelter in the hallway. My son just has a bit of a mental issue and accidentally knocked on your door, and you beat him like this. There's no justice!"
Adeline cried her heart out at the police station, while Aaron put on a pitiful, silly look.
