Chapter 10
Grace was heartbroken seeing Laura cry. She consoled her with tears in her eyes, “Sweetheart, don’t cry. You’ll have a new daddy in the future, and a good one this time! Okay?”
Laura wasn’t comforted at all, and between sobs, she managed to say, “But… But I really like Mr. Smith…”
Antonio clenched his fists, suppressing his emotions.
Grace sighed upon hearing Laura’s words.
She was an adult, so she couldn’t see through it. Those two were like carbon copies of each other. But Antonio was a rich man driving a luxury car. The value of his clothes could have clothed and fed a child for a year.
How could he not be her real father? Not acknowledging her was just an act!
After all, he already had three sons.
Laura’s mother was really heartless.
She gave birth to a child whose father didn’t want her. Wasn’t this child destined for hardship?
“Alright, alright, don’t cry. I’ll sing you to sleep and find a new daddy for you! I’ll call the new daddy and ask him to come pick you up, alright?”
Laura was taken indoors.
Antonio’s face was gloomy, and suddenly, a dark figure darted toward him, hitting him on the shoulder.
He frowned and saw a very handsome boy standing there, holding a stone in his hand. “You lied to her, didn’t you? She’s your real daughter, isn’t she?”
Antonio was stunned and didn’t answer.
Zayn’s eyes held a maturity beyond his years as he looked at the three boys behind Antonio with disdain. “You obviously don’t lack anything in your lives. Even if you gave her the cheapest meals, it would be enough. Why do you let her continue to be an orphan?”
Antonio stared at him, pondering his question.
Indeed, why let her continue to be an orphan?
He believed that it was because he didn’t allow her birth.
He didn’t like her either.

Jasper stepped forward angrily. “It’s none of your business!”
“Exactly, it’s none of my business. But Laura is under my protection. She’s my little underling” Zayn evaluated the stone in his hand and glared at Antonio with intensity. “She’s so beautiful. Aren’t you worried that she might be in danger as she grows up?”
person
He had known from a young age that a who looked good, would face tremendous danger if they were not powerful enough.
But did the adults not know about these things?
Antonio’s expression changed slightly as if Zayn had reminded him of something.
Indeed.
Laura was an exceptionally beautiful individual, with limitless potential as she grew
older.
But if she were an orphan, she would have to face the dangers of the opposite as she was adopted and as she grew up.
The more he thought about it, the darker his face became.
Zayn
sneered, “You’re not moved at all by this? It seems that rich people like you aren’t good people after all.”
He casually threw the stone to the ground and arrogantly left. “You don’t need to worry about it. Laura is my little underling. I’ll look out for her. If any of you dare to come near her again…”
He looked back coldly. “I won’t spare you.”
Jasper’s face turned grim as he stared at Zayn, who was getting further away. “I think he might be the most dangerous person for Laura as she grows up.”
Just as he finished speaking, a car suddenly, pulled up at the entrance of the orphanage.
A man holding a phone got out of the car, excitedly exclaiming, “Everyone who’s watching the live- streaming channel! I’m now at the entrance of the orphanage! Keep giving me likes until we reach a hundred thousand! I’m here to adopt Lala!”
The live–streaming channel was quite popular, especially since Laura had become a recent internet sensation. Many people were following the story of this poor child.
Antonio’s expression changed, and he scowled at the man with the phone.
But following closely were more and more cars, each pulling up at the entrance. Several people were holding phones, smiling brightly into the camera. “Today, I’m here to adopt Lala!”
A woman held up her phone and said, “Look! I brought my son and daughter with me. We’re planning to make Lala our youngest family member! Kids, do you welcome Lala?”

She signaled to her children.
The two children smiled brightly. “Welcome, Lala! We’re here to take you home!”
