drink coffee. So, let’s see. You stormed into my house and attacked me. Let’s calculate the damages.”
“You attacked me too!” Elizabeth raised her bandaged hand. “See! You slashed at me with a knife!”
“You brought that on to yourself. I was acting in self-defense. Besides, you guys were slandering me; you’ll have to face legal consequences for that too!”
Rory nodded. “You’re right. You two were too rash. How could you resort to violence so casually? Besides, isn’t this your wife’s fault? Why was she lying?”
Shaun had nothing to say to that. He glared at me. I folded my arms and looked back at him calmly.
“I will be taking legal action on this,” I told him. “If you can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I will see you at court. I will not settle for anything less!”
I had surveillance footage backing me up. Besides, the neighbors were witnesses; Shaun had no defense.
Hearing my firm tone, he realized that I was serious. “Even… even so, then what about the previous times? Rainey, you’re manipulative. You just got lucky today!”
I looked at Rory. “He’s being terribly uncooperative. I will not be settling with him. I’m filing a report against them for unlawful breaking and entering, attacking me, and causing property damage. Here’s the damages that were incurred; I will be speaking to a lawyer.”
I had called my lawyer on the way to the police station. I would not let any of them off easily this time.
Hearing this, Shaun gritted his teeth and snarled, “Fine. You win. I’m sorry. Is that enough?”
“No. I do not accept your apology,” I rejected him outright.
His apology didn’t account for the attack I’d suffered.
