Chapter 31 Chapter 31 In the tranquil night , the city was dead silent . In a shabby basement , a man sat on the ground, his face filled with horror . His limbs were tied up , and other men in similar situations were beside him . Antonio stood under the quivering light with an iron rod in his hand , his eyes murderous . The men , with their mouths stuffed , kept whimpering . Antonio snapped his fingers . The cloth was removed from the man at the center . He shouted , " Sir , we've never offended you guys . Please let us go! " Antonio signaled a look at his subordinate . The subordinate raised his phone , showed them a photo , and asked , " Have you seen this child before ? Did you hit her ? " The man's expression changed . " Laura ? Her ? Who are you ? What's your relationship with her ? " " Relationship ? " Antonio scoffed inwardly . Antonio narrowed his eyes viciously and answered casually , " I'm her father ." The man's pupils suddenly contracted . " Father ? " he exclaimed inwardly . Antonio handed the iron bar to his subordinates . A heart - wrenching scream echoed from the basement at once . Antonio sat on a tattered chair with his legs crossed ; killing intent accumulating in his eyes as if it could swallow people up . It was not until the man gradually lost consciousness while he screamed , terrifying everyone else around him and making them soil their pants , did Antonio felt slightly satisfied . Just then , his phone rang . Jasper : [ She's already asleep . ] Antonio got up and ordered , " Continue . " With that , he strode away as the screams behind him gradually grew silent . Antonio walked outside , raising his head to look up at the starry sky . As the stars glimmered , one of them shone especially brightly . He narrowed his eyes in disdain . " You really are dead , Lilian . If not , I wouldn't let you go . " ' How dare she do those unspeakable things in front of my child ? She gave birth to my child but didn't contact me at all , and she raised my child like an animal 1/2 13:52 Tue , 12 Aug Chapter 31 Even if I don't want this child , she shouldn't endure any hardship anymore , ' he thought . He said to a subordinate , " Choose a highly educated housekeeper to take care of her . Remember that she must like the child . Investigate their background , and check if there is any dark history . " The subordinate nodded . " Understood , Mr. Smith . " On the other side , Laura held the teddy bear slightly as she grunted uncomfortably in her sleep . A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye . Jasper , who had been by her side for an hour , wiped off her tears . Xander and Everett stared at him . Everett sneered , " No way . Jasper , you should be the one that hates her the most among us . You've only been with her for a day , and it's like you're a different man . " Jasper withdrew his hand silently and straightened his back . " I just feel annoyed that no one is here to comfort her . Don't misunderstand . " Xander scoffed . Everett mocked , " Laura may be pitiful , but don't you forget her mother almost killed ours . Not to mention , her mother used some underhanded tactics to make Dad impregnate her . Laura is but a filthy child . " Jasper's eyes darkened . " She has already changed her clothes . Now , she wears the best quality clothes . She's not filthy . " Xander scoffed again . Jasper pursed his lips and left without saying anything else . There was already a pile of cigarette butts in Louis ' ashtray . The whole room was shrouded in smoke , leaving only Laura and him in the house . He hesitated for a while before walking to Laura's room . Laura stirred in her sleep . She woke up after hearing the door open and looked at him in horror , She even hid under her blanket . Louis frowned , put out the cigarette butt , and said impatiently , " Don't be afraid . I won't hurt you . I was angry just now , but not at you . " Laura stared at her in a daze and gradually calmed down as she trained her clear eyes on him . Louis was irritated by her stare but did not know what to say , so he turned around and left . Suddenly laura asked " Mr Yale are you my mom's fourth brother ? " AD Comment
