Chapter 360
Those words were so harsh that they were unbearable to the ear, and even if Katherine covered
Noah's ears, the little girl could still hear them clearly.
Suddenly, Noah retorted emotionally, "You are talking nonsense! My mom is not how you describe her
to be! You're lying, you liar!"
Hera's eyes widened in response, and she glared menacingly at her. Then, she cursed harshly, "Shut
up, little b*stard! You have no right to speak. A little b*stard like you—"
Before she could complete her sentence, she saw Katherine put her daughter down on the ground and
step forward.
Seeing that, Hera was frozen for a second before knitting her brows and asking warily, "W-What are
you doing? I'm warning you. If you dare to lay a finger on me, these people—"
However, her sentence was cut short again by Joaquin, whose tight lips morphed into a smirk and
loudly called, "Jeremy!"
The next moment, the Levisay Manor door was kicked open. Then, a group of men in black barged in.
These men were swift and dexterous and launched an assault before a dozen bodyguards could even
react.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Hera were terrified by the unexpected attack. Soon, the two frantically
huddled together and watched the scene from a distance in a state of panic. As time went on, their fear
rendered them speechless and dumbfounded.

Although the number of men who stormed in was less than the Levisays' bodyguards, they were highly
skilled. They could engage in one-on-one combat and be superior to the bodyguards. Afterward, more
than a dozen guards from the Levisay Manor were thrown to the ground and rendered defenseless
without much effort.
"Y-You guys—" Elizabeth didn't expect the group of guards she deployed, including the ones in the
yard, to be knocked down. She was instantly fueled with rage as she chastised, "How dare you people
barge into someone's private property! You even hurt my people! Who gave you the authority to do so?
Aren't you afraid I'll call the police to arrest all of you?!"
Meanwhile, Jeremy dusted off his hands and disregarded Elizabeth's warning. Instead, he walked up to
Joaquin respectfully and informed him, "Boss, everything outside has been taken care of. The driver is
waiting outside, so you may leave whenever you wish."
Joaquin pulled a stern face and hummed. However, he did not immediately leave but cast a cold glance
at Elizabeth. "Call the police?" As if hearing a funny joke, he snickered, "I won't stop you if that's what
you want to do. Not only that, but I can also help you call the police. I will gladly explain everything to
them, including how you kidnapped my daughter from the hospital and brought her here."
His words immediately drove a dagger into the Levisays' hearts.
Suddenly, Elizabeth and Hera's expressions became distorted. The latter rolled her eyes and
immediately retaliated, "Kidnap?! Isn't she Katherine Cornell's daughter? That means she also belongs
to our family. All we did was send someone to bring her back. How can that be considered
kidnapping?!"
At that moment, she exemplified the definition of the word incorrigible.
Meanwhile, Katherine was standing one pace away from Hera as she glared and sneered at her. "Oh,
is that so? Didn't you deny that Noah was from your family earlier? Why did you change your mind?
Does the world revolve around you? Are you allowed to do or say whatever you want?"
"You—" Hera seethed through gritted teeth. With a ferocious look, she growled, "We have the final say
on whether to recognize her as our own! What are you trying to do? Are you going to hit me? You are
an unfilial child! I am your mother-in-law, for goodness sake!"
"Is that so?" The wry smile on Katherine's face grew, but the coldness in her eyes was piercing.
"Whether you're my mother-in-law or an elderly person, I don't care. What would you do if I physically
attacked you for ridiculing my daughter?"
At that moment, she no longer cared to show any deference to her elders! She had no intention of
letting go of anyone who harmed or slandered her child, regardless of their social standing.
Seeing the hostility rising in her eyes, Joaquin stepped forward and took Katherine's hand while giving
her a knowing glance. Then, he turned her head and shot a sharp gaze at Hera and Elizabeth. In a
deep and solemn tone, he questioned, "Who told you that Noah's biological father is unknown?"
His question that came out of the blue startled the two elders.
Nevertheless, Hera was the first to react as she remarked sarcastically, "Is that even a question?
Everyone knows this woman has a messed-up private life. A child of this age, whom she claims to have
raised on her own, appeared out of nowhere. Isn't that enough to prove the rumor? Either she doesn't
know the man or knows who that man is but is too embarrassed to introduce him. Perhaps, this b*stard
was a product of her one-night stand!"
The word 'b*stard' that came out of her mouth was filled with disgust.
The color of Joaquin's face changed in an instant, and as he pressed his lips together into a thin line,
he cast a side eye toward Jeremy.

Jeremy was quick to pick up on the subtle hint and moved forward to grab Hera's arms. After he had
her arms pinned behind her back, he gave a powerful kick to the back of her knees.
Thump!
She grimaced in agony, dropped to her knees, and screamed as her arms were pinned behind her
back. "L-Let me go… Let go! Ah!"
When Elizabeth saw that, she was aghast and trembled fervently, possibly out of anger or panic.
"H-How could you?! Joaquin, she's your mother. How could you instruct your men to hurt her?! Let go
of her this instant! You unfilial son—"
Joaquin snorted, "Listen. I'm not one to use violence on a woman, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate
her being unscrupulous in front of me. Also, let me repeat what I said. I have a biological mother, and
she is nothing to me!" After saying that, he added, "Speaking of blood-related, Noah is my biological
daughter. From now on, I do not want to hear the word 'b*stard' being mentioned ever again. If anyone
spreads rumors about my family, I shall sue them for slander, no matter who they are. Got it?"
His warning was directed to Hera and Elizabeth.
Hera bared her teeth in pain, but when he said those words, she struggled to stand up but was pinned
down to the point where she could not move.
On the other hand, Elizabeth widened her cloudy eyes as if she had heard something implausible.
"What are you talking about? Are you willing to go so far as to fake your biological connection to defend
Katherine?"
"Who told you it was fake?" Joaquin snickered. "Noah is the child of Kathy and me. She is my biological
daughter, whether by law or by blood. What's with the rumor that her father is unknown? That's
bullsh*t!"
