Chapter 161: Chapter 162: It’s him, the mysterious man with the secret identity!

As she spoke, she raised her hand and charged towards Joanna Lawrence.

However, before her slap could land, it was intercepted in midair.

A bodyguard stood in front of Joanna, grabbing her wrist and forcefully pushing her away.

Rose Liall was thrown several meters away, stumbling with her steps. After letting out a shriek, she fell to the ground.

She was splayed out for all to see.

"Oh, my waist, my waist is broken!" She cried out in pain as she lay on the ground.

"Mom!" Annie Lawrence’s eyes widened, and her face turned pale. She hurriedly walked over and helped her up.

Rose Liall pressed one hand to her waist, her facial features crumpled in pain as she sobbed, "Sir Darren, you must be on my side! I can’t stay in this house any longer. I’ve been humiliated by someone younger than me. I can’t bear to stay."

Several servants who wanted to block the bodyguard were also knocked down.

The Lawrence family’s servants hadn’t received any combat training and were no match for a professional bodyguard.

One bodyguard was able to immobilize a group of people.

Seeing his display, no one dared to step forward.

"Joanna Lawrence, you’re going too far!"

Annie, holding Rose up, said with anger, "She is your stepmother, your elder in any case! How could you treat her like this? Do you think that with a backer behind you, you can do whatever you want?"

"Shameless bastard! It’s reprehensible!"

Benjamin Lawrence shook with rage, raising his hand, intending to slap Joanna’s face again.

This time, Joanna didn’t stand still and foolishly take the hit.

She showed no emotion as she dodged to the side.

Benjamin’s slap hit nothing but air.

Seeing that Joanna dared to dodge and acted arrogantly as if she didn’t care about him as her father, Benjamin became even angrier and, in his humiliation, yelled, "Unfilial! Do you dare to avoid it?! You even bullied your own mother! I must teach you a lesson today."

As he spoke, he raised his hand again.

Benjamin was a man who cared about face.

Being humiliated by his daughter in public, he now wanted to regain his dignity as the head of the family by teaching Joanna a lesson.

"Mr. Lawrence, if you don’t want the Lawrence Group to end up like the Hook Group, I suggest you restrain yourself. You might not be able to bear the consequences if you slap her."

Just as Benjamin raised his hand, an icy, dignified voice sounded from behind.

The man’s voice wasn’t loud, but the moment he spoke, the surroundings became quiet.

Annie, standing next to him, turned pale and surprised.

She widened her eyes and turned her head.

Upon seeing the distinguished, powerful, and noble man walking up the steps one by one, her eyes widened even more.

A fleeting look of surprise and joy flashed across her eyes.

It was him, the mysterious man!

Even though Annie had been despised and ridiculed by him before, she found herself still thinking about him afterwards.

She even dreamt of him.

Initially, she thought David was her true love.

But after meeting this man, she realized that her real soulmate was him.

The moment she saw him, her heart had skipped a beat.

The nervousness, excitement, shyness, and anticipation she felt in front of him were something she never felt when facing David.
