CHAPTER 512 WE ARE A TEAM
“Leo?”
Connor’s parents exclaimed in fear, gazing at him in horrified disbelief.
The Matthews, the Newmans, and the Brooks all gathered here today.
They weren’t core members of their families, so they just heard about Lydia’s story and hadn’t met Leo
before.
But Connor’s parents were different!
They met Leo before.
They still remembered how Leo took the whole Hendersons down alone and scared Terry into a coffin.
They thought Lydia came to the amusement park with Emilia.
But the person was Leo, who was a nightmare to them.
“Thank you for protecting my daughter.”
Leo lifted Emilia up and thanked Laura.
Laura shook her head, “I would have risked my life to protect her if I knew she’s Lydia’s daughter.”
Leo knew how much Laura respected Lydia, but still, Leo owed her a favor.
Leo then turned to those parents and smiled, “Well, you want them to kneel down?”
Connor’s parents were too scared to utter a word, but Mason’s parents looked scornfully at Leo after This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
learning that he was Lydia’s husband.
“Well, you are Lydia’s loser husband!” Mason’s mother taunted.
Then she turned to look at Connor’s parents sarcastically.
The Matthews gestured to stop Mason’s mother’s aggressive talk, but she was still rattling on like no
one was around.
“I heard that Lydia’s husband is a loser. Well, like daughter, like father!”
“You are here just on time! Kneel down! All of you! No one can get up until my son is satisfied.”
Leo’s name sounded familiar to the Brooks, but it didn’t ring a bell. So, they didn’t take it seriously and
sneered at them on Mason’s side.
Laura glared at them.
Looping arms around Leo’s neck, Emilia stuttered, “Daddy, they bad-mouthed mommy and you. I don’t
care they did that to me, but I can’t let them do that to you!”
Emilia’s eyes blazed with fury.
Leo ignored others, and instead, kissed Emilia on the face.
“Daddy loves you, too. They can’t.”
As Leo’s voice fell, all the people, except for the Matthews, burst into a sneer.
They said through condescending gazes. “We’re royal families in Valenham. You and your daughter
just mean nothing to us. Why can’t we?”
Mason’s mother was the most provocative.
Leo didn’t respond to her and looked at Laura’s swollen left-sided face, “Did she slap you?”
Laura nodded in angry silence.
Leo then walked to Mason’s mother and hit her in the face.
Leo exerted all of his strength on the slap and knocked off her two teeth.
Her mouth was full of blood.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
They flew off the handle when coming out of the shock.
“How dare you hit her? Do you know who we are?”
“How dare you hit me? I will definitely kill you!”
Mason’s mother cursed Leo hysterically even though her mouth was bleeding.
But Leo just laughed it off.
“Even Hayden, Angus, and Terry had to respect me, a bunch of royal families living on the distant edge
is yelling at me?’
As his sound fell, he walked towards them.
All the parents stepped back in fear.
“What... what do you want?”
Only core members of the families had bodyguards.
If Leo was going to attack them, they could never get away with this.
Leo gave a fake smile, “Nothing, kneel as you asked us to!”
All the parents were flabbergasted and shouted, “You can’t do this to us! This is between kids and let
the kids deal with this!”
Now they were pinning the whole rap on the kids.
The rest of the parents nodded approvingly, “Right, this is a great idea!”
Laura cast a grim look at Leo and said, “Don’t listen to them! The kids will beat your daughter!”
Leo knew that, but after a while, he agreed, “You got a point. We should let them deal with their own
matters.”
All the parents froze in disbelief.
They gave a wry sneer to Leo.
Mason, Connor, and the rest of the boys all stared at Emilia like they were eyeing prey.
“Leo! You are throwing Emilia under the bus!”
Laura turned livid with anger.
But Leo only put Emilia down and looked at her lovingly.
Emilia was a bit frightened and clenched Leo’s leg hard.
“Daddy, I’m scared...”
Leo smiled, “Emilia, I know that you are scared, but you have to grow up! My daughter cannot be a
coward.”
“If he yells at you, hit back! If he hit you, crush him!”
“Daddy’s here.”
Laura was taken aback by the arrogance in Leo’s words.
The smile on Leo’s face was distant and hollow.
He looked pretty tough.
This was how Leo trained his soldiers in Northernland.
There was not a single coward in his troops.
“This is time to show them what I taught you before.”
Leo patted Emilia’s shoulder to encourage her, “We’re a team. If we want to protect mommy, we got to
make sure we can protect ourselves first.”
“Go kick their asses till they won’t dare to mess with you ever again! Daddy is here!”
Leo’s voice was low, but it was like some powerful magic that could disperse Emilia’s fear.
She glared at Mason, Connor, and the rest of the kids.
No one had expected Emilia to confront all these boys fearlessly.
They were flabbergasted.
“Emilia, you and your daddy are both bastards!”
Mason, Connor, and all the boys charged Emilia violently.
They were older and much stronger than Emilia.
But Emilia wasn’t afraid at all.
Her eyes filled with rage and strong faith.
“I’m Lydia and Leo’s kid! You can’t bad-mouth my mommy and daddy!”
Emilia yelled as she charged forward and punched Mason in the face.
