CHAPTER 521 GROUNDED IN THE CELLAR

"Laura, stop making a mess!"

Jonah's yelled out at Laura.

Ultimately, Laura was still his twin sister. He couldn't just sit and watch her standing against their family.

"She's just Leo's daughter. Is it really worth risking your life for such a little girl?"

Jonah snapped coldly, "Besides, this is Grandpa's order. We can do nothing about it."

"Laura, are you sure you don't want to listen to me?"

Ayan ordered with a growl, "Just throw the little bastard out and come back to me."

Laura wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and gritted her teeth determinedly. She shook her

head and said, "I promised him that I would protect his daughter until he came back. I have to do what I

say!"

"Laura!"

Jonah was boiling with rage and glared at Laura.

Lane, Albie, and the others had lost their patience. "Grandpa, I think we have to force them apart."

Ayan nodded and immediately motioned his bodyguards to come over.

"Break them up!"

In an instant, the bodyguards clanged in and surrounded Laura and Emilia.

Stefan stepped down to the other side in case not to get hurt.

Laura stared into Ayan’s eyes and said, "Grandpa, why can't you just let her go? She's just a weak and

innocent little girl! You are the patriarch, and you should have a huge heart! If this gets out, and people

know you bullied a little girl, how would they think of you?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Ayan was simmering with anger, and his chest swelled between gasps. He growled again, "Do as I

said, now!"

All the bodyguards walked toward Laura, trying to break her and Emilia up forcibly.

"Nobody moves!"

Laura suddenly screamed. Then she took out a pair of scissors and placed the blade side on her neck.

Veins popped out on his neck when she got agitated like streaks of wriggling snakes that waited for

their death sentence.

Jonah shouted to the bodyguards, "Stay!"

Nobody dared to take any step forward.

Ayan's face fell as he asked in a low voice, "Laura, are you sure you wanted to get yourself killed just to

save this little bastard?"

Laura held Emilia with one hand and pressed the scissors on her neck with the other. She kept

stepping back and screaming, "Don't push me! I just want to get out of here!"

"Grandpa, if you ask anyone to do this again, I swear I'll kill myself before you now."

"President Johnston made me a member of the JP Business Association. If I died, the Watts family

died. Are you sure you want that?"

Laura was a very courageous woman. As dangerous and intense as the situation was, she could still

keep calm and use her career as a bargaining chip.

Ayan hesitated. He could do nothing but stare at Laura with a livid face.

Although the Watts family was one of the three prestigious families, it was still nothing when compared

to the JP Business Association.

It was indeed a huge loss for the JP Business Association to lose a middle-level member. If Emmanuel

lost his temper and excluded all the companies of the Watts family, they would be so over.

Ayan softened his tone, "Laura, relax. Put down the scissors, and let's talk!"

"Not if you let us leave!"

Laura seemed very decisive.

However, Jonah suddenly took a step forward and looked at her with a smirk.

"Laura, do you really think you can win by threatening us with your life?"

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Jonah slowly walked to Laura.

"If you want to kill yourself, just do it now, but I don't see how things will get better for Emilia if you die."

"Do you know what will happen to her then? We'll beat the hell out of her, and I'll sell her to the human

traffickers. The next time we see her, she may be begging on the street. She may also be crippled."

Jonah’s every word made Laura shiver with fear.

Emilia clung to Laura's arms, crying her eyes out.

"Don’t sell me. I don't want to be a beggar! I want my mom and my dad!"

Jonah laughed, "How does that sound like? Do you still want to kill yourself?"

"Just shut up! All of you!"

Laura's face was pale. She threw away the scissors in her hand and pulled Emilia closer to her chest.

"It's okay, Emilia. Your dad will come and pick you up very soon."

That was all that Laura could say.

She was here confronting the whole Watts family alone. The odds were too small.

As soon as Laura dropped the scissors, the smile on Jonah's face faded. He motioned to all the

bodyguards.

"Now!"

The next moment, all the bodyguards rushed forward to separate Emilia and Laura.

Emilia burst into tears.

"No, Emilia! You let go of her! Stop!"

Laura ran to Emilia like a hysterical psycho.

But the bodyguards held her and insulted her by pressing him to the ground.

"How can you treat her like that? You bad people!"

Emilia cried heartbrokenly.

The bodyguards gave Emilia to Stefan.

Stefan took Emilia and pinched so hard on her cheek that the girl screamed in pain.

Laura’s head was pressed to the ground when tears streamed down her face.

She looked at Jonah and begged, "Jonah, please let her go! She's just a child!"

Jonah was inexorable. He motioned to the bodyguards, "Take her back to her room. She needs some

rest."

"Okay!"

Laura struggled violently, but there was still nothing she could do to stop the tragedy.

Eyes turned bloodshot, she screamed at Ayan and Jonah from afar.

"Her father is the Commander of Wyverns, the guardian of Pompeii. How could you do that to her?

You'll pay for this!"

Laura's voice was trailing off. Jonah then turned to Stefan. "The birthday party is coming. You should

put the little bastard in the cellar first."

"Okay, Mr. Watts."

Stefan held Emilia in her arms and walked to the cellar.

Emilia cried even harder.

"I don't want to go to the Cellar. Please... Please forgive me!"

Stefan hit Emilia in the face, and Emilia immediately stopped crying.

Stefan felt the excitement from revenge like never. She sneered, "This’s not your fault. You should

blame your mom and dad for this. You're taking the punishment for them!"

"Dad..."

Emilia was then thrown into the Cellar by Stefan.

In the courtyard, people were having a wonderful party time, wining and dining.

...

Leo's car arrived in the suburbs.

He didn't know where Watts lived, so he could only call Laura.

However, no one answered his call. Original from .

What Leo didn't know was that Laura had been grounded in a room without any E-device.

Leo made several calls, and finally, somebody turned the phone off.

Leo had a feeling that something was not right.

After a moment of hesitation, he dialed Alan's number.
