“Ah!”
Mia shut her eyes in fear, but the slap never landed on her face.
It turned out that Levi had held the man’s wrist.
“Let go! Let go of me now!” Wales demanded furiously.
He yanked his hand forcefully to break free, but Levi clutched his wrist tightly in a vice-like grip.
“Are you trying to hit her?” Levi asked.
“I’m only disciplining my own family members. What does that have to do with you?” Wales scolded him.
“Ouch…” in the next second, Wales shrieked in agony.
The pain in his wrist made him slowly collapse on the floor.
Everyone present could hear the sound of bones cracking.
Mia couldn’t stand it and hurriedly said, “Levi, please forgive him.”
Then Levi let go of Wales, who then bent down and gasped for breath.
Shortly after, a bunch of the Joneses came over and surrounded them.
Mia bowed her head and kept silent, looking like a child who was caught red-handed.
“Mia, you’re a traitor to our family!”
“How could you tell him about it?”
“You’ve brought shame upon the Jones family!.”
The Joneses reprimanded her out of rage.
Levi had already refused to come back before. Now that he knows about our plan, surely he will never come back.
All the Joneses wished they could choke Mia to death.
While they hurled insults at Mia, she broke down and started weeping softly.
“Come here! Why are you standing beside an outsider?” Wales shouted.
Mia instinctively walked over, but Levi stopped her in her tracks.
“You’ve called me your cousin, so you’re my family now. No one can bully you!” Levi said coldly.
“You? What can you do to us? Hahaha!”
Wales and the others let out a few sarcastic laughs.
What can a loser who has been homeless for about thirty years due to the royal Jones family?
He has totally overestimated himself.
“Mia, just to let you know, you’ve made a huge mistake! Are you still on his side? Do you want to betray your own family?”
Mia flinched at every rebuke with tears streaming down her cheeks. “No, I didn’t… I didn’t betray my family… No…”
Since birth, Mia had been taught to put her family first, and her family’s reputation was more important than her own life.
That was why she became agitated the moment she was called a traitor to the Jones family.
“Then why haven’t you come to our side?” Wales shouted at her in an icy tone.
Mia darted a pleading glance at Levi before running across the hall to the Joneses.
Staring straight at the Joneses, Levi declared coldly, “From now on, I, Levi Garrison, will protect my sister, Mia Jones. Anyone who lay a finger on her shall die!”
Whoosh!
Immediately, a gust of ice-cold air came out of nowhere and sent shivers up everyone’s spine.
What an intimidating gaze.
As everyone looked at Levi, a sense of crippling fear overwhelmed them.
After a while, Wales mustered up the courage to ask Levi, “Who do you think you are? Mia belongs to the Jones family, and our family affairs are none of your business!”
“Yes, it’s none of your concern!”
“By the way, let me tell you this since you already know the truth. A man like you is not worthy of being a part of the Jones family. We want you back only to make you a scapegoat!”
Levi sneered. “You’re such shameless jerks!”
“Don’t even try to run away. You won’t be able to escape being sent to the Oriental and get tormented by the Warlord.”
“Hahaha! What makes you think that grandpa will come and bring you home himself? You’re so full of yourself!”
Levi gave them a half-smile. “I won’t run, and I’ll be waiting for you to seize me.”
“How impudent! Just you wait!”
After saying that, the Joneses stomped away in fury.
