Chapter 36
Chapter 36 Ground Her
Was this still the meek ire who just epted being beaten and shouted at?
During the engagement party, the Donovans thought ire was only able to defeat them because she
had a copy of the surveince footage from the hotel back then. However, ire had efficiently and
swiftly struck at them twice. Although it looked like she did not put a lot of strength into her attacks, they
were still too afraid to attack her once more.
Robert was so angry that his body was trembling. “Great! What a great daughter I have.”
rissa wrapped a hand around her wrist and stood next to Robert. “Dad, why don’t we just bring her
back home and ground her?”
Once ire was in their territory, they could just lock her up without food or water for three days and
nights. By then, ire would obediently tell them where the will was, even if they did not torture her.
Robert thought it was a feasible n. He had nned to use force against ire anyway. Why else
would he have brought his wife and daughter along?
“Do it!”
The three of them looked at each other before marching over to ire.
Watching from inside the car, Jason felt a shiver run down his back. The trio was going to kidnap
ire!
He gritted his teeth in anger. He had to protect ire on Sean’s behalf:

Just as he unbuckled his seat belt, he suddenly heard loud bangs and crashesing from outside the
car. Looking up, he saw ire’s leg swinging through the air in a spinning kick that sent the elderly
woman flying through the
air.
Jason cried out in shock.
Look at how fast she was, how strong she was! Sean was likely the only one who could deal with her.
She was so cool and incredible!
Aah…
He had to tell Sean just how amazing and awesome ire was!
ire did not really hit Robert that hard. After all, he was her father. Hence, she only shoved him away
before knocking rissa down with a left hook. No matter how cruel rissa was, she was still a
daughter Robert and Alice had spoiled. She was unable to bear even the slightest pain. Thus, with a
hand held up to her cheek, she sobbed as she knelt on the ground.
ire spun around to knock Alice away with a roundhouse kick. As Alice was used to a life of luxury,
there was no way she could handle being kicked. Hence, she was unable to get up from the ground.
Robert had nned to follow up with another attack, but Alice and rissa’s agony made him stumble
backward in fear. “ire Donovan, you wille home with me! This is yourst chance!”
ire dusted off her pants and stood up straight. “I’m a very busy woman,

Dad.

If you are that eager, wait for thewyer then. I don’t have the time to y with you. Goodbye.”
With a slight smile on her lips, she cheerfully walked past Robert as he stood there, too afraid to stop
her from walking away.
Suddenly, she stopped as though a thought suddenly struck her.
Robert thought she would kick him again when she turned around, so he frantically hopped to the side.
ire burst outughing. “Haha! Dad, what are you doing? I only wanted to
tell
you
that it would be better for you to befriend the other shareholders instead of focusing on getting the will.
If their shares end up in my hands, you might not be the chairman anymore.”
Robert’s face turned puce in anger. How he wished he could p ire across the face like he used
to. However, she was now so strong that he was too
afraid to do that.
With a tilt of her head, ire smiled and strutted into the hotel.
Julia had just stepped out of her room when she spotted ire. Excited, she ran over and grabbed
ire’s arm. “How wasst night? Tee-Hee. Tell me already! What happened between you and Great-
Grandpa.”
A lot had happened the night before, but ire was in no mood, nor did she have the time to gossip
with Julia.
Pulling out her room card, she opened the door and walked in to ce herptop on the table.

“Did anyone from the Donovans contact youst night, Julia?”
Upon hearing the Donovans’ name, Julia abruptly smacked herself in the head. How could she have
forgotten about that?
“When I returned from Golden Splendorst night, I saw your dad standing by the hotel entrance. I
think he must have been waiting for you. I was so afraid he might see me that I snuck in through the
backdoor.”
“Okay, then.” ire opened up a program. Soon, her fingers were flying across her keyboard as she
typed. “Just protect yourself. I’m not afraid of

anything else!”
That statement made Julia’s eyes go red as she felt touched by how much
ire cared about her.
“I was going to call you about it yesterday, but I was afraid you and Great-Grandpa might have been
doing … you know … I didn’t want to interrupt you.”

In the end, she had yet to forget to gossip about ire’s situation.
ire shot her a sideways nce before focusing back on herputer screen. “We need to buy a
ce and move out of the hotel. It will be bad publicity for the production if the Donovans came back
another time.”
The filming of “The Twenty-Fifth Hour” had already caused quite a sensation from the start. Journalists
would frequently drop by the set. On the way back to the hotel, they would sometimes bump into the
paparazzi. The filming location itself was fine. They were frequently moving about to film at different
locations, so the Donovans could not really know where they were during filming. However, the hotel
was different.
Just one photo from the paparazzi could kick up a huge fuss online.
Julia stroked her chin and nodded. “True, but it’s not easy to buy a ce. We
Il have to renovate the ce before going through all the effort of moving in. It’s going to be hard.”
“Got one!”
Just as Julia finished speaking, ire stopped typing to pick up her phone to call the number disyed
on the screen.
Curious, Julia nced at the screen. Deep down, she let out a shriek of
surprise.
ire was looking at a listing for a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment that was
located in the heart of the city. More importantly, it had just been renovated and furnished with the best
furniture around. They could move in right away!

It was rather expensive, but it was exactly what they needed.
After calling the agent, ire led Julia over to check out the apartment. Once they were done, they
immediately bought the apartment with all the paperwork done within the day. In fact, the entire process
took less than
three hours.
Julia was very impressed by how decisive and effective ire was as she watched a nk-faced
ire pay with her credit card. ire was so manly!
When Sean woke up, he drank the herbal remedy Jason prepared for him. Soo the heat dissipated
from his body.
However, why did the back of his head hurt?
Standing nearby was Jason, excitedly rambling away about what happened at the hotel like a little kid
even though he was already in his fifties.
“Mr. Sean, Miss Donovan is such an amazing girl. She’s smart and a good fighter. I think she must be
the only woman who is good enough for you.”
Sean touched the back of his head with one hand. As realization dawned on him, he smiled. Had ire
attacked him because she thought he was going to do something to her?
She had quite the nerve!
