Chapter 104
Maurice had always felt that he was an incapable man, especially after Severin was imprisoned. He felt sorry for his beloved wife Judith who had to suffer a lot along with him.
As soon as he saw Judith was beaten, he got angry and decided that he would rather risk his life to fight the other party than just sit by and watch them have their way.
Jada covered his face and looked at Maurice in a daze. “How…how dare you slap me?”
“Maurice! What are you doing? Get down on your knees and apologize…” Judith was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled Maurice’s hand.
“Not a chance. I only kneel to my parents. Why should I kneel with them? It’s their fault, and they’re the ones who are bullying us and causing trouble.” Maurice was getting animated, and he shouted with reddened eyes. “I’ll fight them, even if it means breaking every single bone in my body!”
“You were dead meat the second you laid hands on our young miss!” When a bodyguard saw that, he stepped forward and raised his leg to kick Maurice.
“You’re the one who’s dead meat!” At that moment, a voice called out angrily as a gray light flashed past. A stone had struck the bodyguard right on his thigh.
“Agh!” The bodyguard immediately squatted down in pain.
Severin’s expression soured, for as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw his mother being forced to kneel on the ground while a bodyguard prepared to kick his father. The anger that coursed through his veins led him to kick a stone at the bodyguard to teach him a lesson.
“Mom! Dad! What’s going on?” Diane rushed over while carrying Selene, with Severin following close behind.
Diane put Selene down and helped Judith up.
“It’s the woman from the restaurant yesterday!” Judith lowered her head, looked at Severin. Severin! When did you come back? Those guys are rich and powerful! What are we going to do about this? They didn’t even show any courtesy to Mister Henry when we mentioned his name, so seeking his help will probably be useless. What do we do now?”
Severin turned around and his expression softened slightly as he comforted her. “Don’t worry, Mom. I can take care of them. We don’t need to trouble anyone else!”
“But how are you going to do it on your own?” Judith was still incredibly worried because they could not afford to mess with such an influential family!
“Hehe, they won’t let us go if we’re too nice to them. Look at what happened to you two. Do you think they have even an ounce of humanity after they assaulted two old people?”
Severin turned around again and looked at the group of people with a murderous gaze. “Which one of you folks slapped my mother?”
Jada immediately took a few steps back. Severin was known as a hothead, and she was afraid to get too close to him because the previous night’s incident was still fresh in her mind.
