Fred didn't want to bring up the past and reopen Alice's wounds. However, Lorenzo brought Daisy in at the wrong time and showered her with kindness. How could he tolerate that? The last thing he wanted to see was Alice's family living in harmony. "You!" The surrounding crowd gasped, and Alice's face turned extremely grim. She glared at Fred furiously. Was this bastard trying to humiliate her in public? "Mister." However, before Alice could rebuke him, Daisy suddenly pointed at Fred and said to Lorenzo, "Mister, he is Grayson's father, and he's a big bad guy! He always bullies my mom. Can you punish him for me?" Children never lie. Daisy, innocent and adorable, didn't understand the scheming of adults. She voiced whatever was in her heart. "Daisy, be good. Don't cause trouble." Alice only felt bitterness in her heart. Daisy was only four years old, yet she had to suffer humiliation alongside her. As for Lorenzo, Fred had brought him specifically to humiliate them. How could he stand up for them? Smack! Before Alice could finish speaking, a loud and clear slap echoed through the hotel lobby. Turning her head, she saw Fred clutching his face as he collapsed onto the floor, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Lorenzo in shock and rage, his eyes burning with disbelief. "You... you dared to hit me?" Alice was stunned as well. She hadn't even seen when Lorenzo made his move. In the blink of an eye, Fred was already on the ground. "Holy crap!" "This guy must have a death wish! He dared to hit the young master of the Simpson family!" "It seems the reports weren't wrong. This guy is violent! He hits people at the slightest provocation!" The guests around them were dumbfounded, exclaiming in shock. Amid the crowd, Robert and Rebecca exchanged glances and swallowed hard. This unexpected turn of events also shook them. When they looked at Lorenzo, their expressions were filled with complicated emotions. There was surprise, satisfaction, but also deep concern. Lorenzo had struck Fred just because of one sentence from Daisy. This was something they never would have expected. Seeing Fred being beaten up was satisfying, but they couldn't be sure if Lorenzo's recklessness was a blessing or a curse. After all, Lorenzo had a criminal record. He was a convicted rapist. If he married into their family, what if he ended up abusing Alice? Who could stop him then? "Your mouth is filthy! You deserved that slap!" Ignoring the exclamations around him, Lorenzo looked down at Fred before turning to Daisy in Alice's arms. "Daisy, are you satisfied now?" "Satisfied!" Daisy nodded and smiled. "Mister, you can hit little bad guys, and you can hit big bad guys too! You're becoming more and more like my dad." Just like him? Lorenzo didn't immediately reveal his identity. Today was the first time he had met his daughter, and if he suddenly announced himself as her father, it would take time for Daisy to accept it. There was no rush. Just earning Daisy's approval was already enough for him. "Outrageous!" At the main table, Sullivan finally lost his temper. Slamming the table, he grabbed his dragon-headed cane and trembled with fury as he roared, "Guards! Seize this man!" Hurried footsteps filled the air as ten bodyguards rushed into the hotel lobby, surrounding Lorenzo and the mother-daughter pair. At the same time, the sound of a child crying rang out. "Dad!" Grayson came running over, wiping his tears and complaining angrily, "A big dumb guy just slapped me twice! Then those fat guys peed all over my face!" At this moment, Grayson's cheeks were swollen, his face covered in tears. His whole body was drenched, and a pungent stench of urine emanated from him. He had been poorly bullied. Fred was furious. "What big dumb guy?" Pfft! Seeing Grayson's miserable state, Daisy couldn't help but giggle. Grayson looked up just in time to see Lorenzo standing beside Alice. His face instantly turned pale, and he quickly hid behind Fred, crying even harder as he pointed at Lorenzo. "Dad, it was him! He hit me!" "It was you?" Fred looked at Lorenzo in disbelief. He had gone through so much trouble to bring Lorenzo here. Wasn't Lorenzo supposed to be torturing Alice and her daughter? How did things turn out like this? Instead, Lorenzo slapped him and his son. "That's right, it was me." Lorenzo admitted it without hesitation and sneered, "Like father, like son. Your kid's mouth is just as filthy as yours!" "You bastard! You're looking for death!" Fred wiped the blood from his mouth and roared, "What are you all standing around for? Beat this bastard to death!" "Yes, sir!" The ten bodyguards didn't hesitate. Clenching their fists, they charged at Lorenzo. Alice's face turned pale. She was a woman. She had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. The Simpson family professionally trained the bodyguards. Each was strong and skilled, and their menacing presence struck fear into those around them. "Stand here and don't move. Give me ten seconds." In her panic, she heard Lorenzo's calm voice. The next moment, his figure became a blur—and he was gone. Then, the sounds of punching and kicking echoed through the air. Bang! A bodyguard was sent flying by a single kick. Then the second. The third... Lorenzo was the Wolf King of the Northern Border, an undefeated warrior on the battlefield. The Simpson family bodyguards were nothing in comparison. For him, dealing with them was a piece of cake. He kicked them away as quickly as kicking a soccer ball. In just a few seconds, all ten bodyguards were thrown into the air like human cannonballs, crashing into tables and sending plates and dishes flying. Even the main table where Sullivan sat was overturned. "Seven seconds." After finishing them off, Lorenzo shook his head in disappointment. "You guys are even weaker than I expected." The entire room fell into stunned silence. Everyone stared at Lorenzo as if they had seen a ghost. They knew he was violent, but they never imagined he was this ruthless. "Wow! Mister, you're amazing!" The first to react was Daisy. She clapped her hands excitedly from Alice's arms, her bright eyes filled with admiration. There was no fear at all—only adoration. Perhaps this was the bond of father and daughter. "You..." Alice's mind was in turmoil. She instinctively took a few steps back, distancing herself from Lorenzo. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why are you doing this?" Lorenzo had hit Fred and his son. He had ruined the engagement ceremony. Lorenzo's actions left Alice utterly bewildered. Wasn't this the husband her grandfather had picked out for her? Wasn't he supposed to be here to humiliate her? Why didn't it seem that way? "Could this be some kind of scheme?" No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand. Meeting Alice's gaze, Lorenzo said, "As long as I'm here, no one will ever bully you and Daisy again." "Why?" Alice blurted out. She couldn't comprehend it. In front of all these guests, Lorenzo had utterly disgraced the Simpson family. Fred and Sullivan would stop at nothing to kill him. Was it worth it for her and Daisy? "Because from now on, you are my wife, and Daisy is my daughter. We are a family." Lorenzo's voice was calm but firm, his words resounding with conviction.
