Chapter 29 By the end of the sentence , Laura sounded desperate , worried they would not believe her. Jasper's heart ached when he saw her acting this way . Frankly speaking , he could not feel happy hearing this explanation . " Does she think Lilian scolding her instead of the others will make the others feel better ? " he pondered . Louis ' eyes became fiercer . " And what does she usually do to make money ? " Hearing this , Laura shivered as her eyebrows knitted . It was hard for her to speak up . She may be young , but she understood that her mother was doing something bad . She shook her head . She did not want them to know . Louis ' eyes darkened .

" Fuck ! " Laura jumped up reflexively and ran to hide under the table, shivering . Louis was on the brink of a mental breakdown . " How dare Lilian defile herself like that ! The Yale family has never treated her poorly since she was young , yet she chose to bring herself to ruin step by step . She even left us a fucking dead weight after she died !

" Thus , Lilian stood at the corner without approaching them . Laura suddenly lost all strength to struggle , and she sobbed while the man beat her up . " I'm scared . I don't want to get beaten ! " she thought . Laura wailed until her voice turned hoarse , begging , " I'm sorry . I was wrong . Don't hit me ! " Louis gradually calmed down and looked at her in shock . Antonio pulled her lightly . " What do you think you did wrong ? You didn't do anything wrong , so hurry and come out . " Laura did not listen to him at all . As if she was blinded , she sobbed harder and kept saying , " I'm sorry ! I'm sorry ! " Everyone was stunned by her crying . Jasper could not stand it anymore .
