The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 

“Bang!” A loud noise echoed. 

The glass shattered completely, and Bruce jumped in through the broken hole. 

“Roar!” The two mastiffs let out muffled roars and snarled, lunging at him with bared teeth. 

Driven by the desperation to save his daughter, Bruce quickly grabbed one of the mastiffs’ necks with his hand and exerted a strong force. 

The mastiff let out a miserable whimper as its neck was instantly broken. 

With a “thud,” he tossed the lifeless dog carcass aside. 

The other mastiff was frightened, arching its back in fear, and its fur standing on end. It took a few steps back, intimidated by the sight. 

Bruce’s eyes turned crimson, and a murderous aura filled the air as he glanced at the remaining mastiff. 

“Woof.” The mastiff trembled in fear, turning around and running back into the room. 

Animals were very smart and knew what danger and fear were. 

Bruce had no time to chase after and kill the dog. He rushed to Lilia’s side in anguish. “Lilia!” 

“Sob, sob, sob, Daddy, please come and save me…” Lilia was so frightened that she almost lost consciousness. 

Lying on the ground pitifully, she kept calling for her daddy. 

She didn’t know that her daddy had indeed come to save her. She was just instinctively calling out for him. 

After all, in her subconscious mind, her daddy was her guardian angel, her superhero who could do anything. 

Of course, Bruce truly lived up to that image in front of his daughter. 

“Daddy, please come and save me, I’m scared…” Lilia cried out in panic. 

Seeing her like this, Bruce’s heart ached as if it would shatter. He immediately rushed over and tightly embraced his daughter. “Darling, it’s

okay now, it’s okay. Daddy’s here to save you!” 

“Ah, help!” Lilia was so frightened that she couldn’t recognize her dad. She was in a state of panic. 

“Darling, don’t be afraid. I am Daddy, don’t be scared. Daddy’s here.” Bruce lovingly rubbed his daughter’s head. 

“Is it really you, Daddy?” Lilia, with teary eyes, weakly looked up. 

“It’s Daddy. You’re safe now. With Daddy here, there’s nothing to fear.” 

Even though Bruce wore a mask, she could still recognize his voice. “Waah!” Lilia burst into tears. 

“Daddy, I knew you would come to save me. I knew it, I knew it, sob, sob, sob!” 

“My sweet baby, it’s alright now, it’s alright.” Bruce’s throat tightened as he tightly embraced his daughter, his eyes intensely reddened with emotion. 

Meanwhile, Marlowe took the gun and walked out of the room with a sinister expression. 

As a super-rich second-generation heir, he naturally had many bodyguards and assistants. However, this was an apartment building with security guards at the entrance and regular patrols, and the security measures were well done. 

Therefore, there were no residential bodyguards but only two beautiful female nannies in the house. 

“Bang!” A gunshot rang out. 

Marlowe aimed at Bruce’s back and fired a shot. 

Bruce reacted swiftly, rolling on the ground with his daughter in his arm. He narrowly avoided the bullet. 

Seeing this, Marlowe laughed sinisterly. “Bruce, is that you? 

“Hehehe, you’re still wearing a mask. Are you too ashamed to show your face?” 

“Bang, bang, bang!” Three more gunshots echoed. 

Marlowe relentlessly fired at Bruce, leaving him no chance to fight back. 

Fearing that the bullets might harm Lilia, Bruce could only hug her and

take cover around the house. 

Soon, the box of bullets was emptied. 

Marlowe swiftly reloaded. 

“Bruce, you have some skills dodging bullets like that. Let’s have a competition today to see if you can dodge faster or if my bullets are faster!” 

Marlowe sneered as he limped with his prosthetic leg and kept shooting at Bruce. 

As sworn enemies, they were filled with intense hatred. 

Today, they had to fight to the death. 

Bruce hid behind the sofa with Lilia, temporarily ensuring his daughter’s safety. 

His eyes narrowed, and he grabbed a fallen bottle, deliberately tossing it 

outside.
