Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

The pot–bellied guy clutched his crotch and gritted his teeth, his eyes red as he roared in pain, “How dare you! Do you know who I am? I’m a big businessman abroad! I have a powerful influence! You’re celebrities, aren’t you? I’ll ruin your faces and gouge out your eyes! I’ll kill you!”

His voice could be heard faintly from outside the room.

Joshua, who was about to push the door open, paused and looked through the window.

A familiar figure was curled up on the ground, his eyes blown wide as he snarled, “Robert, you’ve offended me. Neither you nor that illegitimate child will have a good ending! I’ll tear your bodies into pieces and feed them to the crocodiles!”

Joshua was slightly taken aback. Then, he chuckled.

The bodyguards next to him poked their heads in out of curiosity. One of them asked, “Mr. Yale, isn’t that Corey, the one who asked you for another chance? What is he doing here?”

Joshua looked at him and replied, “Not only is he here, but he’s also being pretentious.”

Corey continued to lie on the floor and wailed to Laura, “You little bitch! Don’t lie in bed so comfortably. You’re nothing outside of Hestrya. You’re just a dead man!”

Joshua nodded and pushed the door open, saying, “Really? I don’t believe that.”

Laura looked at the source of the sound in surprise.

Joshua leisurely stepped into the hospital room, dressed in a black floral shirt, loose jeans, and black Dr. Martens.

His messy hair partially covered his eyes. A few strands fell to the sides, accentuating his laziness. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes. “Corey, how unexpected. Just a couple of days ago, you knelt before me, begging for another chance. Yet now, you dare act so arrogantly in front of my brother. You’re quite audacious.”

Corey’s breath hitched when he heard the familiar voice. He turned his head stiffly.

Joshua waved his hand with a smile. “Hello!”

Corey’s pupils constricted, and his face instantly turned pale. He stuttered, “M–Mr. Yale…”

Laura looked on curiously.

It was her first time seeing a man’s face flush so quickly. It was also her first time seeing his face suddenly become pale.

“Is he a chameleon?” she wondered.

Corey trembled as he looked at Joshua. His voice shook as he spoke. “Joshua, you… What are you doing here? When did you return?”

Joshua put a hand into his pocket and slowly walked toward Corey. His tone was friendly as if chatting with a friend. “I returned a couple of days ago. I’ve been busy for a whole year. It wasn’t easy to finally get myself a vacation. I didn’t expect you to be back as well, and looking so powerful too, nothing like the person kneeling before me not too long ago,”

Corey trembled in fear, gradually becoming more frightened. He put his hands together and stammered, “M–Mr. Yale, I didn’t know this person was your relative. I’m sorry, I was wrong!”

Joshua lifted his foot and stepped on Corey’s shoulder. He looked relaxed. “You’re wrong, but how so? Are you wrong because you insulted my brother and threatened to feed him to the crocodiles? How could that be wrong? Weren’t you just trying to protect your beloved woman?”

Corey shook like a scared animal. He could barely manage a complete sentence. “N–No! I dare not. I didn’t know he was one of your people: I wouldn’t dare to touch him even if I had all the guts in the world if I knew! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”

Joshua continued to step on him as he smiled. “It’s all right. I have a good temper. I’m not that kind of bad guy. However, besides disrespecting my brother, I want to know what you did to that kiddo lying on the bed.”

Laura suddenly felt singled out. She hesitated about whether to speak or not.

Joshua glanced at her and said to Corey, “This is my niece, my sister’s daughter. You wouldn’t have bullied such a lovely child, would you? What did you say to her? Tell me.”

Corey could not speak.

His gaze darted around nervously.

Joshua’s smile turned cold. He drew a gun from his waistband and held it to Corey’s head. “I asked you a question! What did you say to her?”

He suddenly roared hysterically.

Laura was so frightened that she started to tremble.

Corey could not hold back anymore. He raised his hands and cried, “I threatened her. I’m sorry! I threatened her!”

Joshua shredded that polite facade, revealing a ferocious expression. His tone turned sinister. “What did you threaten her with?”

Corey curled up on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. “I told her that if she dared to leak the information, I would make her and her whole family suffer. I’m sorry, I didn’t know she had you as her family! I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

Joshua grinned so widely that his canines were visible. He pressed the gun further. “You’re quite impressive, Corey. Didn’t you notice that this child shares my surname? Didn’t you notice that this man shares my surname? Now, you’re acting all high and mighty in front of me… I could just shoot you right now!”

Laura watched, eyes wide in shock, as he loaded the gun and stepped back to aim between Corey’s eyebrows.

Corey’s legs went weak, and he could not stand up. “No! Please don’t!” he begged.

Joshua raised his head slightly, his curly hair covering his eyes. Only his side profile was visible.

He looked innocent and harmless, but his smile was more sinister than a devil’s.

Bang!

Corey screamed in fear.

Laura was startled and pulled the blanket to shield herself. She then tilted her head in confusion.

A strange ribbon floated out of the muzzle, and a flag unfurled.

“The pistol was a…

toy?” she thought, bewildered.

Robert sighed in relief.

He thought Joshua had gone mad to dare shoot people in Hestrya.

Joshua grinned like a devil and pressed the gun against Corey’s forehead. “Bang!” he spat.

Corey closed his eyes and cried, “No! No!”

Just then, he had a sudden realization. He opened his eyes to see a small colorful flag in front of him.

He froze, diverted his gaze, and met Joshua’s manic stare.

Joshua laughed hysterically. “You should be grateful that we’re in Hestrya. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be around to look at me now.”

Corey dared not breathe as he gazed at Joshua tremblingly. “You… Have you forgiven me?”

A hint of cruelty flashed in Joshua’s eyes. He did not answer but dragged Corey to the edge of the bed and kicked him, saying, “Whether I forgive you or not is my niece’s call.”

He turned to Laura and said, “Lala, this scoundrel is yours to deal with. Do you want to forgive him?”

Robert also looked at her curiously.

Corey knelt down immediately and pleaded, “Lady Laura! Please forgive me. I was wrong, Lady Laura!”

Laura sat on the bed and looked at the groveling Corey. She frowned. “I’m a child. Why are you calling me Lady Yale? You’re so annoying!”

Corey hesitated before asking, “What do you want me to call you?”

Laura replied, “I want to be a princess.”

Corey said, “A princess you shall be, Your Highness!”

“But I also want to be a fairy,” Laura continued, feeling conflicted.

Corey replied, “Then you shall be the Princess of the Fairies.”

Laura pouted and looked at him. “You said you would feed the Princess of the Fairies to the crocodiles. I still don’t want to forgive you. Sorry.”

Corey was speechless.
