The crowd around them was swelling, but Everett didn't seem to care one bit.

He was grinding his teeth, taking deliberate steps towards Maxton.

That menacing look in his eyes genuinely frightened Maxton! Just moments ago, he was shouting at the top of his lungs, but suddenly, he was on his knees, begging, "Please, don't hit me. I don't want to die! Ever since my daughter died because of Dorothy, her mom disappeared, and now, I've got no home left. I can't afford to lose my life too!""

"I've got nothing left! My daughter's gone, and it's all your fault, all because of Dorothy!"

That plea caught the attention of the bystanders, who began to speak up for Maxton.

"How can you hit someone so down on their luck?"

"Yeah! His daughter's been killed, what's going on here?"

The crowd made it impossible for Everett to pull Maxton away.

When he reached out a second time, Dorothy suddenly wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Everett! I've called the cops, let them handle this. Don't dirty your hands."
