When Laurent saw Alex so angry, she hurriedly went to stop him.
"Dad, Dad, don't do this—"
Alex, still furious, had been thinking of going to the capital to settle things with Dave, and now that Dave had come to their door, there was no way he would let him off the hook.
But Laurent felt that there was no need for Alex to beat him up. If they hadn't been divorced, it would be understandable for Alex to want to beat him for bullying her. But now that they were divorced, if he acted so violently, it would only make it look like she hadn't truly let go. She had already moved on, stopped loving him, so there was no reason to be angry or resentful. That's why she didn't approve of Alex hitting him and was trying to stop him.
However, Alex was too worked up to listen. He pushed her hand aside and ran into the bathroom to grab a mop, charging out with it.
