Rachel was righteous, “I just said her mother has a good business, but she got angry.”
Meriel laughed out.
Leroy guffawed, too.
So did Jeremy and Elaine.
Laura suddenly felt her cheeks burning. “What’s to laugh at?”
Leroy looked at her and said sarcastically, “Your mother has a good business. Isn’t it funny?”
Laura was so angry that she gave him a push. “No!”
Leroy pushed her back. “Yes!”
Laura staggered a few steps. She was about to explain when Joshua suddenly picked her up with one hand and pointed his gun at Leroy. “Dare you push her again?”
Leroy’s smile suddenly froze, and his face turned pale with fear.
Joshua kicked him away. “Push her again!”
Leroy was caught off guard and fell to the ground. “Ah!”
There were exclamations all around.
Laura looked at Joshua in surprise. “Uncle Joshua?”
Joshua hugged her effortlessly with one hand and pointed his gun at Leroy. “How dare you bastard bully Laura in front of
me?”
Lergy trembled with fear.
Meriel quickly stood in front of Joshua’s gun. “What are you doing? How dare you bully a child?”
Joshua sneered and lazily licked his back teeth. “I don’t care if he’s a child. I only know that he provoked me.”
Joshua looked fiercer. “Lilian is my sister after all. These bastards are nothing to me.”
After saying that, he pointed at Meriel and pulled the trigger
Carol reacted more quickly than him. She grabbed Meriet and helped her dodge the shot.
Meriel screamed. A bullet rubbed against her hair and instantly broke a strand of her hair.
Leroy’s pants instantly got wet.
Joshua said pitifully, “You reacted quickly, old woman.”

He then looked at Leroy and smiled evilly, “Are you scared to pee?”
Leroy sat in a pool of water, his eyes wide open in horror.
Meriel was also so scared that she fell to the ground.
Carol looked at Joshua in panic.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Laura was shocked. “Uncle Joshua… How could you shoot?”

Joshua looked at her with a faint smile and said in a rare serious tone, “I do hate Lilian, but I will defend her with you.
Don’t worry.”
Still in shock, Carol protected Meriel behind her. Carol shouted to Joshua, “Are you crazy? How dare you!”
Joshua put Laura on the ground and twisted his neck. “Why not? Do you think I can only paint in Hestrya?”
Joshua raised his fair and slender hands enjoyably, and his expression gradually became mad. “My hands are full of
blood.”
Meriel was scared and looked at him in horror.
Death was so close to her just now!
Hadn’t it been for Carol, Meriel would have died instantly!
Meriel trembled with tears. “You’re a monster!”
Joshua smiled and tilted his head. “A monster?”
He suddenly grabbed Meriel and pushed her against the wall.
Meriel shouted, “Ah!”
Joshua pushed the gun against the back of her head and whispered in a seductive voice, “Ma’am, I am indeed a monster.
I’ll shut you up with a simple physical attack.”
Meriel was so frightened that she closed her eyes, tears falling down her face. “I’m sorry! I won’t say it anymore!”
Joshua smiled sweetly with his canine teeth against his lower lip. “I don’t believe in you.”
He turned around and pointed his gun at Rachel. “Apologize to Laura.”
Rachel gasped and was too scared to speak,
Joshua shot her beside her feet, raised his eyebrows, and urged her in a low voice. “Hurry up. Don’t challenge my patience.”
Startled as Rachel was, she turned to look at Laura.

Chapter 207
Joshua put the gun against Rachel’s temple and said, “Apologize.”
Rachel and the other three children’s faces turned pale. She said with a shiver, “I’m sorry.”
Joshua said, “I can’t hear you.”
Rachel raised her voice. “I’m sorry!”
Joshua became lazier and glanced up and down at her. “How about your sincerity and action?”

Rachel immediately bowed and cried, “I’m sorry, Laura. Please forgive me! I won’t bully you anymore! I won’t do it again!”
Leroy also bowed. “I’m sorry, Laura. I shouldn’t have laughed at you.”
With tears in his eyes, Jeremy said, “Please forgive us.”
Elaine cried out of breath. “Please persuade your uncle to calm down. I’m afraid!”
Laura looked at them bowing at a 90–degree angle and nodded. “That’s it.”
She was sure that they would do it again anyway.
Sebastian raised his head and said, “Joshua, stop.”
Joshua’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down. “Not enough.”
Sebastian was speechless.
So was Tyler. “He’s crazy again. Why did you provoke him? Don’t you know he is crazy?”
Laura looked at Joshua.
His eyes widened, his hands trembled, and his breathing became rapid. “Not enough… That’s not enough…”
He tilted his head. “You will come to laugh at me again.
“And bully Laura again.
“I should keep you quiet.”
As he spoke, he laughed to himself and said, “Keep you quiet!”
Rachel was so frightened that she hugged her siblings, crying and shaking her head. “Please don’t!”
Sebastian and Tyler looked at each other and said quickly, “Laura, stop Joshua! Calm him down!”
Laura came back to her senses. Looking at Joshua’s lost eyes, she said softly, “That’s enough, Uncle Joshua.”
Joshua began to come to his senses and stared at her in a daze. “What?”
Laura stepped forward and blocked his gun. “That’s enough. They are afraid of you and will never do it again.”

Joshua stared at her blankly as if thinking of something. He shook his head. “No. Laura, they will do it again. They will make fun of me, take me as a failed experiment subject, and bully you…”
Joshua was like a helpless little boy with tears in his eyes. “I haven’t slept for three days. Every time I closed my eyes, there was a laboratory. They made fun of me as a failed subject and laughed at Lilian. They deserve to die!”
Laura stood on tiptoe and grabbed his palms, shaking her head. “Don’t care about them. Do you wanna be caught
because of them? I’ll protect you.”
Joshua felt it was ridiculous. “How?”
Laura waved her hand at him.
Joshua looked at her and half–knelt in front of her.
She reached out and hugged him, smoothing his hair again and again. “We should solve the problem calmly like adults. It
doesn’t matter.”
Joshua smelled the milky fragrance of body lotion for children on her and slowly relaxed, feeling more relieved than ever.
He gradually regained his consciousness. “But I remember that you seem to be the first person who is not calm.”
Laura patted him on the head and said, “I won’t listen to you!”
Joshua was speechless.
He sat cross–legged beside her obediently. “Fine, I only listen to you once.”
Laura said happily, “That’s a good boy.”
Joshua raised his eyebrows and smiled casually, “Only you can praise me like that.”
