Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 116

“So what if she’s a star?” he thought.

Whenever he wished, he could easily have his daughter enter the entertainment industry and invest in a girls‘ adventure film where she could take on the female lead role!

He stood up and said proudly, “What are you waiting for? I’ll take you to teach her a lesson.”

Julia became excited, quickly stood up, and dashed over to Laura.

She didn’t pay attention to the two people sitting next to Laura. She pointed at Laura and smiled. “Laura! You’re done. My father is here to deal with you today. Just wait and cry!”

Dumbfounded, Laura got off the chair and looked at Bernard.

The soft light in Zayn’s and Dexter’s eyes disappeared instantly, and they looked at Bernard coldly.

Bernard walked up to her without looking sideways and sneered at her, “Little girl, did you bully my daughter?”

Laura frowned and said with neither a humble nor overbearing attitude, “It was your daughter who bullied me. She and her sister told others not fo with me. I was just protecting myself.”

Bernard laughed and said sarcastically, “Have you ever thought that the reason my daughter won’t let others play with you is because there’s somet wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Laura asked, not grasping the underlying implication.

Bernard laughed mockingly. “Something is wrong with you if my daughter ends up disliking you.”

Dexter was bemused.

Zayn’s eyes became colder.

This was the first person who dared to be so arrogant in front of them,

Laura didn’t back down. “It’s her own business that she dislikes me/ It has nothing to do with me! You’re wronging me!”

Zayn raised his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction.

However, Bernard clenched his teeth and even went so far as to reach out and pinch Laura’s face. “The Lowery family is the foremost in your class! If you dare to upset my daughter, I’ll ensure your entire family faces hardship! Let your family educate you, an orphan from an orphanage, to understand what a big family is and why you can’t afford to offend one. That’s because if you offend us, you’ll get into trouble. Do you understand?”

Laura was angry and pried open his hand. “You hurt me, mister! You have to apologize, or I’ll complain to my family!”

Bernard snorted. “Your family? What sort of entity could your family possibly be? Are they even worthy of appearing in my presence?”

A cold male voice care in at the right time. “I don’t know if I am worthy or not. But I can tell for sure whether or not you are worthy to appear in front of me, Mr. Lowery.”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Bernard looked in the direction of the sound source stiffly.

Dexter sat in a chair with his slender legs crossed. His cold eyes held a faint curve as he chuckled, yet his intense aura seemed capable of engulfing those

around him.

Chapter 116

Bernard’s face turned pale.

“Dexter? Mr. Graham? What is he doing here?” he exclaimed in his mind.

Dexter squinted his eyes with irony. “Families that rise from humble beginnings are undoubtedly distinct from aristocratic families like ours. They are much more bold and arrogant than us, who have been rich for generations. They have the urge to mark their territories everywhere they go and even resort to bullying other kids. Isn’t it so?”

Bernard’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground. “M–Mr. Graham, what brings you here? Are you also attending your son’s sports day today? What a coincidence!”

Dexter sneered, pulled Laura to his side, and rubbed her face. “Unfortunately, I’m the surrogate father to the child you just bullied.”

Bernard’s mind buzzed, and he looked at Laura in disbelief.

Laura looked back at him angrily.

Dexter looked carefully at the pinch marks on Laura’s face, and his eyes gradually became fierce. He smiled like a devil.

“How dare you bully my child in front of me? You sure got some guts.”

Bernard’s breathing hitched, and he felt his legs weaken as if they might give way. He managed to steady himself, but he remained frozen in place.

Zayn held his chin with one hand. He was more annoyed than Dexter. “Don’t talk nonsense to him. Get his daughter out of this school. If she out, I will find a way.”

Julia didn’t know what to do, so she hid behind her father in fear.

Bernard was like a frightened bird, and his palms were full of cold sweat. “Mr. Graham, I’m sorry. I didn’t know she was your-”

Dexter interrupted him gently, “Perhaps you’re unaware. This little girl here and my son both resided at the same orphanage. My son has taken a liking to

her.”

As he spoke, Laura was held in his arms.

She looked at him in confusion.

Dexter smiled softly at her. “I even have an idea. I hope this little girl here will eventually become a part of our family and grow up alongside my son as a childhood sweetheart. That’s why I purposely avoided my son’s competition to give way to my future daughter–in–law.”

Dexter looked up at Bernard and said with a smile, “However, you came to bully her while I was still sitting next to her. Who do you think you are?”

Everyone around them looked over.

Several parents who had a bad impression of Laura widened their eyes in surprise.

“Isn’t this the little girl who just bullied our children until they cried? I can’t believe she has such an influential supporter,” they pondered.

Then, they looked at Bernard, stupefied.

Bernard was flustered and quickly tried to explain/“No, I was just joking… You see-”

Dexter said, “I don’t think you were joking.”

Bernard’s face suddenly turned livid. The corner of his mouth curled down, making him look like Pepe The Sad Frog.

Dexter’s smile didn’t waver in the slightest, and he maintained a kind expression as he looked at Bernard. “Remember the cocktail party yesterday?! mentioned that I had a business opportunity for you. After all, we’ve known each other for so many years, so I thought of giving you a business order worth a few hundred million dollars. But since your family holds such a strong position and sits atop the pyramid, I shall change my mind.

Chapter 116

Bernard gasped and shook his head. “Please don’t!”

He was so nervous that he couldn’t even spit out a complete sentence.

Zayn observed the situation with a touch of irony. “I was wondering who you were initially. It seems you’re just a small fish who’s dependent on others for sustenance. Those who don’t know might mistake you for a big shot. How bold of you to act so superior.”

Bernard stared at Zayn with his eyes wide open. Cold sweat slipped down his nose, and he subconsciously looked at Laura.

Laura sat in the middle with an innocent expression.

On her left stood Zayn, and on her right was Dexter. Her delicate features resembled a character from a comic book, exuding a blend of eerie cuteness and coolness.

Noticing the cold sweat on Bernard’s face, Laura couldn’t tell whether it was sweat or tears. She cocked her head to the side and inquired, “Mister, are you so frightened that you’ve begun to cry?”

Bernard trembled and suddenly felt it was difficult to breathe.

“This isn’t just a little girl. She’s a devil! The ultimate devil! She might appear innocent and harmless, but if you dare to bully her, misfortune will befall you!” he exclaimed in his mind.

Zayn and Dexter sneered mockingly.

The parents next to them probed their heads and peeked in their directions. They shuddered when they heard their conversations. They whispered, “Isn’t that Mr. Graham? Mr. Graham is also here?”

“Isn’t Mr. Graham’s child supposed to be in primary school? Why is he in the preschool class? Could it be because of that girl?” they wondered.
