Chapter 1240

Marshall rushed out and hit the man's wrist with the broom, causing him to drop the knife. Then, a struggle ensued

between the two. The man's burly build gave him an advantage, even though he was shorter than Marshall. His

moves were calculated and precise.

After some time, the two men ended up wrestling each other on the ground. The man locked his arm around

Marshall's neck. His eyes were burning with rage as he threatened, "I'll kill you for making her leave me!"

Due to the lack of oxygen, Marshall struggled to breathe. His face turned blue, and his veins bulged from his

forehead. His hand was pushing against the man's head, and his eyes were bloodshot red as he looked at Stella and

hoarsely said, "Go!"

Stella's hand was trembling, and Felicity's face was white with fear. They had never encountered such a dangerous

situation before.

Realizing that he could not overpower Marshall, the man tried to reach for the knife nearby. Marshall's gaze grew

desperate as he watched the man's hand inch closer to the weapon.

Suddenly, a loud smash echoed through the room.

Someone had thrown a pickle jar at the man's forehead. The man staggered, trying to see who had attacked him.

But, before he could do that, he became unconscious and

collapsed on the floor.

The pressure around Marshall's neck was finally released. He looked up to see Stella standing there. Her face was

drained of color, and her hand was trembling.

Felicity kicked the knife away and asked, "Are you okay, Mr. Moore?"

"I'm fine," Marshall replied in a low voice. He glanced at Felicity and said, "Ms. Thompson, can you find some rope

for me?"

Felicity quickly went inside the apartment and searched for what he requested.

Marshall turned to Stella and saw that her eyes were still fixated on the blood on the back of the man's head. "Don't

worry. He's not going to die."

Stella tried to calm down and nodded in response.

Then, Felicity returned with some shoelaces and a bedsheet to tie the man up.

The police arrived shortly after and arrested the man, who was now awake. He gritted his teeth when he walked

past Stella and said, "You're not getting away with this, bitch!"

Marshall shielded her and coldly said, "See you behind bars."

The man was then taken away, and the woman, who was still unconscious, was brought to the hospital. Marshall,

Stella, and Felicity were asked to head down to the police station to make their statements.

On their way there, Marshall revealed that his client was a victim of domestic violence. She was trapped in an

abusive marriage whereby her husband would threaten her every time she considered divorce. He would even

threaten to kill her entire family.

Not long ago, she suffered a severe beating from her abuser, resulting in hearing loss in her left ear. That traumatic

event finally gave her the courage to take legal action and move out of the house.

"The man had received a court summon just the day before, which explained his sudden appearance at my client's

place, " said Marshall.

Felicity was angry to hear that. "She should have left the first time he hit her. Why would she stay in an abusive

marriage and tolerate such shitty treatment?"

"In many cases, abusers are masters of manipulation. They may shed a tear while begging for forgiveness and

even apologize on their knees after each violent outburst. Such tactics can make it challenging for the victims to

resist their pleas, especially if children are involved. Societal norms and parental beliefs can also pressure victims to

stay in abuse. Some parents think it's normal for couples to fight and fail to realize that they themselves are in

abusive relationships too. Some even feel that their child getting a divorce would bring shame to the family. That's

why victims of domestic violence can find it difficult to escape abusive relationships, " Marshall explained in a soft

tone.

"At the same time, we have to consider that not everyone

has the financial means or emotional support to leave an abusive relationship. Therefore, it's important to question

the abusers instead of resorting to victim blaming," he continued.
