Chapter 534 Discipline Your Daughter for You
"Stop! What are you doing to my daughter?" Dora raced over as soon as she received Lucia's call. She was followed by lots of bodyguards.
She knew her daughter went out to beat up someone, but Dora didn’t care who was at fault. She had to provide immediate backup.
But upon arrival, the scene before her was unexpectedly shocking.
Her daughter was being choked and lifted off the ground. Lucia’s face turned purple from the lack of air. She was gasping for breath.
Dora rushed toward Dermot, but Lucia was in his grip. Thus, she hesitated to strike.
"Mama..." Lucia barely choked out, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.
She didn't want to die.
Seeing her daughter in this state, Dora was both furious and anxious. "Sir, what do you want? Let my daughter go, and we can talk about what you want."
Dermot was indifferent, casting a glance at Dora, "I want nothing but her life."
Dora's face twisted in terror and rage. "Do you have any idea who she is? She is a lady of the Kyte family. If you dare lay a hand on her, do you think you can leave here?"
However, threats meant nothing to Dermot. In fact, they only stirred his disdain.
Lucia felt death was imminent. Her consciousness was fading, her hands flailing weakly to no avail.
Desperate, Dora turned to her bodyguards and commanded, "Save the lady, now!"
But as a guard stepped forward, Dermot's grip tightened, "I'd advise against that unless you want to see her dead right now."
"Don't!" Dora yelled, halting the bodyguards.
That's when Blake emerged from the hotel, striding towards the scene with a grave expression. If his security hadn't alerted him promptly, he'd still be oblivious to the danger facing his daughter.
His eyes locked onto Dermot, icy and unforgiving, "Dermot, have you lost your mind? Let Lucia go."
He knew Dermot, not because they had business dealings but from the marriage fiasco between Evelyn and Dermot. Though he disapproved of their marriage, he had no say back then and had to watch Evelyn marry into the Doyle family and later divorce Dermot.
To Blake, Dermot was a man who had failed Evelyn.
"I'm disciplining your daughter for you, Mr. Kyte," said Dermot coldly. Even before Blake, he showed no fear.
"As the Kyte family’s daughter, she lacks any perspective of her family's standing, bullying others with her status. Aren't you ashamed of such a daughter?"
Although Blake wanted to protest, he couldn't. He knew Lucia's character. It was likely she had provoked this with her arrogance, or else Dermot wouldn't have resorted to violence without reason.
Taking a deep breath, Blake's tone softened, "On behalf of Lucia, I apologize. She is young and doesn't understand her mistakes. Please, don't hold it against her."
Dermot laughed. "Young? She's not that much younger than Evelyn, is she?"
The mention of Evelyn led Blake to continue, "Regardless, Lucia is still Evelyn's sister. Are you sure you want her blood on your hands?"
Despite the number of people on his side, Blake knew he couldn't wrestle Lucia away from Dermot.
However, Blake was certain that if Dermot did kill Lucia, he would personally avenge his daughter.
