"so?"

Joey raised his eyebrows at Antonio, "Don't you have anything to explain?"

Antonio has quickly returned to normal at this time, and he doesn't see the slightest embarrassment at the moment of being exposed.

"Academic research." He said succinctly, "The structure of firearms is very delicate and can be used for reference in architectural design."

"Aha!" Olanpu laughed exaggeratedly, "Maybe we can expect Tony's next work to be in the shape of a gun."

"Compared to this," Antonio said coolly, "I seem to have seen the package move."

"Hiss!" Olanpu withdrew his hand from the side of the package as if he had been burned.

Joey laughed in surprise: "Olanpu, I really can't tell, are you afraid of small animals?"

There was a tinge of schadenfreude in Antonio's calm voice: "Snake."

"Nonsense! How is that possible!" Olanpu's green eyes widened.

Joey blinked and smiled strangely: "Cold, creamy, creepy..."

"You guys are going too far!" Olanpu stood up suddenly and reached for his little coat, "Two for one. Is this the hospitality of the Fernandez House? I'm leaving."

"Okay, okay." Joey smiled and pulled her back, "I apologize! Thinking about it, I know that it must not be a living thing if it is so tightly wrapped."

Antonio carefully opened the package.

Sure enough, it was a knife.

He checked it and was satisfied to see that there were no suspicious red marks on it. He turned to look at Joey: "It's just a knife, it doesn't look like it killed anyone."

Joey pouted at Olanpu.

Sure enough, it came.It's just a knife, no big deal.

"There's another letter. Do you want to read it?"

"Why don't you read it and let us have fun together." Olanpu suggested humorously.

bitch!Despicable whore!you vicious witch...

"..." Antonio glanced quickly, without signing. "Forget it. The fireplace is a better place for it."

"Okay." Joey smiled knowingly, "I announce that the fireplace of the Fernandez House will accept feeding from caring people from all walks of life from today."

Olanpu picked up a wine glass, winked and pretended to clink glasses with her: "Welcome to the world of social activists."

At this moment, Pascal came over again, "Miss, a young man named Demo wants to see you and asks for your help."

Demo?

Joey was very puzzled.She didn't seem to know anyone from the Demer family.The Demers didn't really know each other, they just met at the ball.

She thought for a while, then nodded: "Let him in."

"Miss Fernandez, sorry to disturb you, I am Belen Demo."

A few minutes later, when Joey saw that "he", he was stunned.

Beren twisted his bluish-white protruding hands nervously, his voice choked with sobs, "You may not remember me, I talked to you at the count's ball before."

"Ah... I remember." Joey remembered.

When she first launched milk tea last year, Anna came to the ball to suggest new flavors to her. At that time, it was Miss Bellen who reminded her that she could add milk caps to the milk tea.

She couldn't help but glanced at Beren again.

Since the accident at Demer's house, the couple rarely appeared at the ball, so Joey hadn't seen Belen for a long time.

In her memory, Beren was a shy and timid girl, her long blond hair was always combed in a quiet and gentle look—but now, her long hair has turned into short hair like a little boy, and her whole person seems Out of shape.

"What's wrong?" Olanpu also came over.

"Miss Bartello!" Beren was about to shed tears, "It turns out that you are here too, how wonderful..."

"Miss, please help me and my mother... In the whole of Barcelona, ​​I'm afraid you are the only ones who can help us!"

"Don't cry, sit down and talk." Joey felt that things were not simple.

"Actually, my mother is still in the carriage outside the door..." Beren said, sobbing, "She's too embarrassed to come in."

Joey choked up.

Mrs. Dermore did not make a good impression on her, and she did not welcome this lady to her home.

"So, what exactly is it?" She planned to ask first.

But at this moment, Antonio suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, his expression turned cold.

"Okay, I finally found you!"

An angry male voice sounded from a distance, "Laura, you lowly woman! How dare you run away and steal my money! Tell me, where did you hide Beren!"

It was followed by a terrified scream, the voice was very familiar - it was Laura, Mrs. Dermore: "What are you talking about, sir!"

Belen sobbed in despair, and rushed to Joy and grabbed her hands: "Please, Miss Fernandez! My mother will die, she will really die!"

Joey suddenly guessed something, and his heart trembled.

……

At this time, in front of Fernandez House, many spectators joined the crowd that had not dispersed.

Baron Demer rushed to the screaming Mrs. Demer angrily, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up: "Say, where is Belem?"

Laura's face was full of tears, and her makeup was all over: "Master, I really don't know... just let her go, she is not yet 15 years old!"

Beside her, a six or seven-year-old boy held her arm with a frightened expression, as if terrified.

Baron Demo sneered: "15 years old is old enough, it's time to share the worries of the family."

He gave it a hard push, and Laura slammed into one of the door panels like a broken puppet, her arms bruised.

The crowd of onlookers whispered: "What's wrong?"

"This is the Demers. Are they bankrupt? I hear the Baron is going to marry his daughter to a rich old man to pay off his debts."

"I can't see how terrible Baron Demer's anger is."

"After all, it's family affairs. As a man, he doesn't even have the authority of the head of the family. Can you not be angry?"

"Luka, where is your sister?" the father asked his son coldly.

The little boy shook his head tremblingly, and shrank away from his mother, unable to speak a word.

Baron Demer's expression became more ferocious, and he looked at Mrs. Demer: "Okay, very good. Laura, you are amazing. You hid my daughter and taught my son not to listen to his father."

Laura shook her head with her mouth shut, trembling all over.

"Are you going to tell me?!" The baron picked her up again, "Believe it or not, I will kill you?"

"No! Father!" Beren's hysterical sobs sounded from behind, "Stop beating mother!"

Mrs. Demer seemed to regain her strength suddenly at this moment. She threw off her angry husband and screamed at Belen: "What are you doing out here!"

"Slap!" There was a loud slap.

Laura fell to the side, and a few red marks quickly appeared on her face.

"Belen, my daughter." Baron Demo walked towards his daughter who was stepping back, "You have disappointed me so much."

Beren bit his lip, and a streak of blood spilled out.She shook her head with tears all over her face: "Father, you can't do this to me, let alone my mother."

"Why can't I? Ha!" The baron sneered, and continued to press forward, "She is my wife. You are my daughter. You all belong to me!"

"I told you to marry, and you will marry. How dare you resist me?"

Beren leaned against the wall limply, with tears in his eyes, but showing a stubborn coldness: "No, I don't belong to you. Not even my mother. During this time, I have studied law. My Mother—she wants to divorce you."

"Divorce?" The baron seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "What right does she have to divorce me? She, you, you are all mine! I decide everything about you!"

He had already walked in front of Beren, raising his palms high.The girl bowed and hugged her head in fright.

"Stop!" Olanpu's voice sounded at this moment.

At the same time, Baron Demo was violently knocked away by a force.

"Bastard, you are not allowed to touch my child with a finger!" Mrs. Dermore roared hysterically.

Her hair was disheveled and she was trembling all over, looking like an angry lioness.

"Oh my God..." Someone in the crowd felt that something was wrong, "Should we call the police..."

Baron Demer never thought that one day he would face such disobedience in public.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he strode forward——

A figure suddenly flashed in front of him and punched him violently in the abdomen, his eyes suddenly went dark.

A piece of cold metal was pressed against his forehead, and at the same moment there was an ominous "click".

"Hitting a woman?"

A voice said coldly, "Demo, are you still a man?"

At this moment, the voice of the police came from a distance: "That...that, ah, Mr. Gaudi! Don't be impulsive, don't use force without permission!"

Antonio looked back at Joey lightly.

To be honest, Joey was also a little frightened-he was shot directly, who could bear it.She nodded slightly: "the police are here, everything will be fine."

Baron Demo immediately reacted: "Mr. Police Officer! According to the law, you should help me send my disobedient wife and children home?"

"What?" Joey looked at the police in disbelief.

What is this regulation? !

"Uh, that's true." The police said routinely, "According to Section 213 of the Civil Code..."

"You're dreaming!" Mrs. Demo spat and glared at her husband like crazy: "Even if I die, I will never hand my child back to you, the devil!"

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Demo, I understand that you are agitated now." The police officer wanted to quickly stabilize the order, "We will send you home safely, and we will also advise your husband not to use violence..."

"Send it back?!" Olanpu asked angrily, "Are you blind? They can't guarantee safety when they go back!"

Feeling in a dilemma, the policeman spread his hands helplessly: "But they are the baron's family after all, and they have nowhere to go."

"They can live with me temporarily and prepare for the lawsuit." Joey interjected coldly.

"Heh. What does it have to do with you?" Baron Demo sneered, "I advise you to mind your own business, Miss Fernandez. There will be no good end to being in the limelight."

"This...to be honest, it's really not legal." The policeman was very embarrassed, "Why do you keep them..."

Joey took two steps forward, condescendingly looking down at the glaring Baron Demo.

"Just because—I'm Miss Fernandez."

"I'd like to see who dares to get rough on my territory."

The author has something to say: Spanish law refers to the French "Civil Code", which in the name of nature endows husbands and fathers in the family with absolute superiority, while wives and mothers are legally deprived of their rights.

Article 213 states that if a wife leaves her husband's home, the government can send her back and compel her to "perform her duties and enjoy the right to complete liberty".
