The lame woman’s expression changed dramatically and she retorted, “Joshua, you can’t do this to me! I am working for your mother!”
Joshua pinched her chin and said fiercely, “So what? Laura saved my life. I don’t even smoke in front of her anymore. How dare you slap her? Are you crazy? Huh?”
The woman’s face was bloodless. She was dragged away ruthlessly. She shouted, “Mrs. Yale! Please save me, Mrs. Yale!”
Joshua sleeked back his hair irritably, turned around, and pinched Laura’s chin to study her face.
Laura swallowed hard subconsciously.
Seeing Joshua’s face, Laura was terrified.
Joshua’s breathing became ragged like a beast on the verge of collapse. But he said softly, “It’s all right, Laura.”
Laura was stunned. Joshua held her in his arms. “I’ll protect you.”
Laura blinked and her eyelashes touched his hair. She felt warm but she clamped her lips together and didn’t say anything.
Antonio silently pushed them away from each other and looked at Joshua in disgust. “You look like a mad dog now.”
Joshua was shocked. “What? And you don’t look like one?”
Antonio adjusted his collar and said, “I’m always elegant.”
Joshua was speechless.
Robert, Favian, and Louis all raised their eyebrow in surprise and looked at each other.
Louis muttered in a low voice, “I’ve long heard that Laura once saved Joshua. But I didn’t expect I would hear his gentle voice. And he learned to protect
the child?”
Robert said proudly, “As this kid’s trainee daddy, I can guarantee that she is adorable.”
Favian rolled his eyes and stared at Laura without saying anything./
Louis pouted and said, “I don’t like Laura anyway.”
Joshua glanced at him coldly. “That’s because you are blind.”
Louis was speechless.
Antonio entered the elevator and pressed a button. “Let’s leave here. Don’t waste more time.”
Laura nodded excitedly. “Yes, we have to save Mommy Winnie!”
The other men’s expressions changed and they quickly rushed into the elevator. Then they arrived at the twentieth floor.
There was only one apartment on each floor.
Winnie was still trapped in the corridor. She shouted at the top of her voice, “Let go of mel”
She shouted in a hoarse voice, “I need to find Laural”
Carol was unmoved. “Winnie, you won’t find her. She is on the way to the airport in my car. I will take her to the laboratory. I believe that with her talent, she will be the best experimental subject.”

Winnie gritted her teeth and turned to her. “You are an animal! And you are not our mother!”
Carol sneered, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to be your mother. It is enough that everyone knows that I have given birth to a group of excellent children. Lilian died at the right time. The shame of my life is gone.”
The moment the elevator opened, Laura heard Carol’s voice and frowned.
She looked at the others subconsciously, about to tell them her mother was not a shame.
But Antonio looked sullen.
And her other uncles also looked gloomy, especially Louis. He was trembling.
It was so strange so she didn’t know what to say.
She frowned in confusion and turned to Antonio.
Antonio seemed to want to walk out. Then he was reminded of something and said to Laura seriously, “Laura, remember that no matter what Mrs. Yale tells you later, don’t take it personally.”
Joshua said nervously, “Just tell yourself that you are the best.”
Robert looked at her seriously and asked, “Do you hear him, Laura?”
Laura nodded and said, “Yes!”
Antonio took a deep breath and carried her to the corridor.
Winnie looked at her in surprise. “Laura!”
Carol frowned when she saw Laura. “It seems that my men failed.”
Laura raised her head proudly and said, “I have a smartwatch and I know how to make a call. You didn’t expect it, right?”
Carol was stunned, and then she felt a moment of enlightenment. “So, you were talking on the phone. Well, you are smarter than your mother.”
Laura covered her ears decisively and said, “I don’t want to listen to you!”
Carol was confused.
Antonio rushed forward to push away the bodyguard and protect Winnie in her arms. “Winnie, are you okay?”
Laura ran to Winnie. “Mommy Winnie!”
Winnie was trembling all over but she forced a smile at Laura. “Mommy is fine. Thank you for asking them to help us.”
Seeing this, Antonio felt distressed. He carried her in his arms and put her on the sofa. He turned to Carol and said, “Mrs. Yale, I respect you because you’re Winnie’s mother but Laura is my child. Anyway, we are related by blood. You have no right to hurt her or Winnie, let alone send her to the laboratory. Please leave now. I don’t want to have a fight with you.”
Carol sat on the sofa and looked at him calmly. “Laura is Lilian’s daughter and I am her grandmother. You can’t decide how I control my granddaughter.”
“Damn it! How dare you say? Shame on you!” Joshua suddenly roared, pulling out his gun, “None of us want to see you again. Get out of here! Don’t make us see you again and forget Laura. She has nothing to do with you! If you dare to show up in front of us again, I’ll kill you!”
Carol was stunned for a moment and then she smiled, “Joshua, so many years have passed but you are still so crazy.”
She snatched the gun away from him quickly.

Joshua was caught off guard.
Carol grinned and pulled the trigger.
A plastic bullet shot Joshua between his eyebrows.
The others turned pale with fear and looked at Carol in astonishment.
Knowing that Joshua was likely to pull out a real gun, she dared to shoot him.
They wondered if she really didn’t care about his life.
Joshua froze and stared at Carol.
Carol stuffed the gun back in his hand and patted his face. She said contemptuously, “You are too young, son. Practice more.”
Laura frowned and quietly entered the room, rummaging in the box of toys.
She felt that her uncles, her mother, and the others were about to be defeated by Carol.
So she decided to turn the tide and avenge Lilian’s death.
Laura came up with an idea and decided to focus her eyes on the fairy wand.
The lights were shining inside.
Laura narrowed her eyes.
She thought, “That’s it!”
Outside, Carol was still sitting on the sofa complacently. She glanced at the group of people in front of her and said, “I haven’t seen you for so many years. This is how you welcome me? Well, I don’t need your welcome. After all, I’m here for Laura.
“I will take this child with me no matter what. It’s none of your business, not to mention that she can’t fight me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Antonio suddenly looked somewhere behind Carol.
Winnie’s eyes widened slightly.
The boys of the Yale family raised their eyebrows in surprise as if they had seen something strange.
Carol was a little confused. She turned around and saw Laura jump up, lift her fairy wand, and hit Coral hard on the head.
Laura screamed, “Power-up Energy! Blow at the head!”
Carol was confused.
