Chapter 30 " Jasper ? " Laura pondered . Laura looked at him tearfully , slowly regaining her senses . " Jasper ? " : Jasper nodded vigorously . " It's me . " Laura suddenly burst into tears and jumped into his arms . " Jasper ! They want to hit me . I don't want to get beaten anymore . I didn't do anything wrong . Please help me beg for mercy ! " Jasper hugged her tightly as he caressed her back comfortingly . " No one will hit you . Didn't I say you're a member of the Smith family ? Our family does not need to be at others ' mercy . You are the most powerful one . " Laura cried until her body shivered . It seemed she had suffered a great shock . Louis slowly regained his senses and felt guilty . " I wasn't criticizing her . I was just angry . " Jasper scolded , " She's only a four - year - old child . No matter how angry you were , you shouldn't have flung things around ! " At the side , Xander frowned . " No , I think something is wrong with her reaction , She has a conditioned reflex . Someone obviously had thrown something and beaten her . Try asking her . " Jasper's heart skipped a beat , and he held Laura's face . " Can you tell me if anyone has hit you before ? " Laura nodded with tears in her eyes . " Yes . That guy threw a wine bottle and hit me a few times . After hitting me , he gave Mom money , and Mom let him hit me , but I didn't do anything wrong . " Her soft voice made everyone's heartache for her . Jasper breathed heavily and buried her in his arms . " Okay , you didn't do anything wrong . No one said you did . It's all right now . I'm here . " A malicious glint brewed beneath Antonio's eyes as he watched Laura sob . The little girl's delicate features were reduced to a sorry sight./ He could imagine the girl being dragged out of the table and beaten violently . He suddenly clenched his fists . " I'll find that man and make him pay . " Without saying a word , Xander turned around and made a phone call . Antonio slowly squatted down and looked at Laura calmly . Laura sniffed and tooked at him with big , teary eyes . " Mr. Smith … " Antonio subconsciously reached out and wiped off her tears as he gazed at her . " Remember this , Laura . From now on , no one will dare bully you . I will make those who bullied you in the past pay the price . Even if we don't like you , we won't let you go through an ounce of humiliation . I will break their arms and legs to avenge you . " Laura looked at him in a daze . Antonio's eyes were freezing cold , like those of a gloomy villain portrayed on television . Yet , Laura thought he was a good man . She stepped back from Jasper's embrace , opened her arms , and gave Antonio a hug . " Thank you , Mr. Smith . You're so nice . " Antonio felt something tugging his heartstrings . He reached out and rested his hand on her petite back . This was the first time he embraced his child . Somehow , he wanted to hold her until she fell asleep . He could not help but pick her up and say , " Let's get you to bed . " Laura buried her face in his shoulder and hummed innocently in response . She looked at Jasper and said , " I want Jasper to come with us . " Jasper followed her without hesitation . " Okay , I'll go with you . " After she was put in bed , Jasper wiped her face with a wet napkin and handed her a teddy bear . " The teddy bear will sleep with you . " Laura nodded , holding the teddy bear in one hand and Jasper's hand in the other . Then , she closed her eyes peacefully . Antonio stood aside silently , his eyes cold . Xander knocked on the door and reported , " I found him , Dad . "
