Chapter 454

The subordinates immediately got to work. It was easy enough to find a sewing kit in the servants' quarters.

But Alexia still didn't get it. She kept acting like the spoiled young lady she was, her voice sharp. "How dare you talk like that to your master?" Lorenzo just shook his head and laughed bitterly. He didn't know whether to call her naive or plain stupid.

Then again, it made sense. The Harper family had sheltered her all her life. She'd grown up thinking the world revolved around her.

Lorenzo smiled and slapped her across the face, making Alexia's head snap to the side.

Romeo stood up, anger flashing in his eyes. "Enough! She is still young. I will apologize on her behalf. Please don't take it out on her." In this situation, he had no choice but to try to smooth things over.

"Grandpa?" Alexia looked up, completely shocked.

This was the first time she had ever seen her grandfather apologize to anyone, especially not someone like this.

She couldn't understand why he was doing this. They were beneath them, yet Romeo was the one apologizing. It felt like a huge insult.

Her anger flared, and her eyes went red. She shouted, "Someone! Where are the bodyguards? Where's the butler? Where is everyone? Get these assholes out of my house!" But no one came, even when her voice cracked from yelling.

That was when Alexia realized something wasn't right. "Who are you? Why did you break into my house?"

Lorenzo smirked. "A little late for questions, don't you think?" He grabbed a needle from his subordinate, its sharp tip glinting in the light.

"Hold her down," he ordered, and his bodyguards moved to restrain Alexia.

She panicked as soon as she saw they were serious. She shook her head, her voice trembling. "I was wrong! I was wrong! Please, don't-don't come near me, please!" Lorenzo was never one to show mercy. The silver needle went in, and Alexia's scream filled the room.

Romeo rushed forward, but one of the men kicked him down without hesitation.
