Chapter 84 In Defense of His Wife
David was propelled several meters away, his body crumpling upon impact. As Maggie's senses returned to her, she beheld a towering figure hoisting David from the ground, his fists raining down upon him with relentless fury.The man was Fiorello.Even obscured by shadow and concealed behind a mask, Maggie knew him instantly.This time, Fiorello's assault on David was even more brutal than his previous encounter with Samwise.The surrounding crowd dared not intervene.Gripping David by the collar, Fiorello issued a stern warning, "The reign of the Quixote family is over, not even George Quixote can save you now."George, the head of the Quixote group and David's father, held a lofty social standing. Maggie had heard whispers of his name and had seen it splashed across major financial reports. Few dared to confront him so brazenly.David, once so arrogant, was now powerless against Fiorello's onslaught.Fiorello was even more domineering and merciless.As David locked eyes with Fiorello, a cold dread seeped into his heart. He stammered, "I was just joking earlier..."In Fiorello's gaze, he saw a potent murderous intent, and he was certain Fiorello could have ended his life then and there."Well, then I'll joke with you," Fiorello retorted.With a chilling grin, Fiorello dragged David into the house, the door slamming shut behind them. Soon, agonized screams echoed from within.After a few minutes, the house fell silent, and the crowd outside was jolted back to reality.Lily stepped forward, rapping on the door, her voice trembling, "Open up! If you hurt David, I'll never forgive you, open the door..."The door creaked open, and Fiorello stood in the doorway, his aura radiating lethal intent. Lily's heart faltered as she met Fiorello's gaze, her words dying in her throat.Instinctively, Lily retreated, clearing a path for him.Fiorello strode past Lily, his piercing gaze sweeping over the crowd, before he turned towards Maggie. He scooped her up into his arms, departing without any resistance from the onlookers.Maggie, who had been paralyzed with fear moments ago, now found comfort in his embrace. She released all pretense of courage and clung to his clothing, her body trembling."I'm sorry I'm late," Fiorello murmured, his voice laced with regret, as he tightened his hold on her.Maggie's brave facade crumbled at his tender words.She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest.Fiorello had been attending an event at the Sercial Guild Hall when he received a call from Jones, informing him of Maggie's location. Realizing that Maggie was also at the Guild Hall, and knowing the kind of people Lily and QDavid were, he had abandoned his business partners and rushed to find Maggie.
However, he was a moment too late, and Maggie had been hurt.Outside the Sercial Guild Hall, a fleet of luxury cars was parked, with a dozen bodyguards standing in impeccable formation beside them, creating an imposing spectacle.William stood at the head of the luxury cars, awaiting Fiorello's arrival.The line of luxury cars at the entrance was quite a sight. Even for the high-end Sercial Guild Hall, such a display was a rarity.Just then, Fiorello emerged, carrying Maggie in his arms.Upon seeing Fiorello, William moved to approach, but halted when he noticed Maggie in his arms. Fiorello subtly signaled for William to remain where he was.Fiorello had arrived for a social gathering, but he hadn't driven his usual Chevrolet. Now wasn't the time to reveal his true identity to Maggie, so he opted to hail a taxi instead.Fiorello continued to cradle Maggie in his arms, and once her emotions had stabilized, he asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
