Some women there said that Mr. Rourke was a respectable man in society and this must be a misunderstanding. Others trusted that Marcella wouldn't judge someone poorly.
Charlie pushed the fat man down and he fell on his knees. His bones cracked because of the fall and he screamed in pain.
The little girl woke up. Everyone wanted to hear her words. When the child tearfully told them what happened and how Marcella had saved her, the crowd went wild.
Charlie kicked him on the spine and the fat man sobbed. "I did nothing wrong. I don't know why she is lying…"
With snot dripping down his face, he looked at the child. "Why are you lying?" The little girl rolled into a ball and hugged her knees in fear. He continued, "I told you lying~ Ahhh!" he shouted as Charlie kicked him in the back again.
