Then, with great respect, he said, "Ms. Joanna, I apologize for being late. Is there anything here that you need us to do for you?"
As soon as the man in black acted in this way, everyone present was shocked, with the exception of Joanna.
Rose Liall’s eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment.
Benjamin Lawrence also looked extremely surprised.
As for Annie Lawrence, she was initially shocked and astonished, but then her face turned ugly.
Who were these men in black?
Why were they being so respectful towards Joanna?
Could it be...that they were the people who were summoned by the mysterious and illustrious man to help Joanna out?
Annie abruptly remembered that previously, when Moon Broadley had called for Dominic Hook to cause trouble for Joanna at school, a group of men in black appeared to back Joanna up.
In the end, both Dominic Hook and Moon Broadley were taught a painful lesson.
It was said that both of them were still being held at the police station.
Thinking about this, Annie’s face darkened even more.
If it were really the work of that man, then it means that he does care a lot about Joanna now.
And the mysterious man who had the power to bankrupt the Hook Enterprises overnight would undoubtedly have the power to deal with the Lawrence family as well.
She could only hope now that the man’s influence is not as great as that of the Benington family’s. Otherwise, wouldn’t Joanna be on top of her in the future?
"Who are you?!" Rose Liall initially thought that Joanna had caused trouble and asked these people to come to their home, but seeing how respectful they were towards Joanna, it seemed like they were here to help her instead. Rose Liall became furious.
She shouted angrily, "This is a private residence! You are breaking the law by barging in without permission!"
"I’m going to call the police and have you all arrested!"
"Sir Darren, please call someone to drive them away!"
It took Benjamin Lawrence a few seconds to regain his composure and with a frown, he asked with a gloomy face, "Who are you? Joanna, do you know them?"
"Of course she knows them," Rose Liall interjected with a clenched tooth grin before Joanna could answer, "Sir Darren, your daughter is getting bolder and bolder. What does she mean by bringing so many people to our home when she comes back? Is she showing off, or trying to threaten us?"
Dozens of men dressed in black.
They stood all over the place, both upstairs and downstairs, and at one glance, there was a sea of people.
Each of them was at least six feet tall, looking formidable and well-built, the type of people you’d never want to mess with.
Not only were the Lawrence family’s servants scared.
Even Benjamin Lawrence, upon seeing them, couldn’t help but feel a few tingles of fear.
"Is this true?" Benjamin Lawrence didn’t dare to look at the man in black, and asked Joanna with a cold face, "Are these people all called by you? What do you want to do, ruin our home, or let these people attack your own father?"
Joanna looked at him calmly. Her voice was also very calm, "I don’t want to do anything, but if someone forces me, don’t blame me for turning my back on them."
"You troublemaker! Are you threatening your own father?!" Benjamin Lawrence was so furious that the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Joanna’s face remained expressionless, her tone still as calm as ever, but there was now a hint of firmness and dominance in her voice, "Mom’s room should remain as it is, and no one is allowed to move in."
Joanna turned her gaze toward Annie, whose face was ashen, and she articulated each word clearly, "That’s my only request. I don’t care what the Fortune Teller said, that’s your business, and it has nothing to do with me or my mom!"
