“Phoche” Austin Anapped-
Pluche took the opportunity to sit down on the ground and began crying loudly. “Daddy, are you divorcing Mommy? Don’t you want Mommy anymore? Are you going to be with this vixen?”
Austin looked at Vera anxiously, who was not going to comfort Phache. She obviously did this on purpose.
Austin was caught in a dilemma, looking at Courtney. Courtney, how about you go first, and I’ll find you later!”

Some people eating steak muttered harshly.
Courtney glanced at them before lowering her hand and typing a message on her phone.
Austin knew she wanted to explain, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand, nervously shaking his head. “Courtney”
Courtney just looked at him silently.
Austin spoke in a pleading tone, Courtney, there are so many people here, and Phoebe is innocent. She shouldn’t have to endure the judgment of

Once again, he was telling her that Phoebe was innocent. It was obvious that he would do anything to protect his daughter.

Someone even suggested to Vera, “People like her deserve a beating. Just punch her?”
Some even threw cups and trash at Courtney. As the situation began to spiral out of control, the steakhouse owner dared not say anything more.
Austin nervously shielded Courtney, but with Phoebe crying and causing a scene, he had no choice but to turn and protect his daughter.
Courtney stood helpless and alone, her forehead bleeding from where a glass had hit her, her entire body trembling from the pain
“Anyone who hurt her today, don’t even think about leaving The security cameras have recorded everything! Just because you’re causing a scene don’t mean you’re above the law A voice, urgent and furious, came from outside.
It was Hayden, breathless, dearly having run to get here. He quickly removed his coat and draped in over Courtney, shielding her behind him
