Chapter 352 The Stepmother’s Malice
Felix’s face flushed even deeper. He mumbled, “I… I’ll go get you a drink.”
Without waiting for Lauren to reply, he bolted from the room.

Lauren watched his panicked retreat and couldn’t help but laugh.
Was Felix always this easy to fluster when he was little?
All she did was give him a kiss and get a little handsy.
She had thought he’d react like he did in her past life–completely unfazed, calm, and aloof like a monk who’d sworn off worldly desires.
Crossing her arms, Lauren chuckled softly, a hint of fondness playing at her lips.
Little Felix is so adorable. Is this what raising someone feels like?
She got up, stepped out of the room, and walked to the upstairs railing. Peering over, she spotted Felix in the kitchen.
He stood stiffly at the counter, fussing with something in his hands.
Just then, a door opened down the hall. Out stepped a sultry, elegantly dressed woman in a low–cut camisole dress. The hem swayed with her movements, showing off long, shapely legs.
The woman immediately noticed Lauren by the railing
Her brows furrowed. When did a little brat show up in this house?
She’d never seen this kid before. Could she be the one that Felix–the little bastard–brought home?
What the hell? That ice–cold brat actually brought someone home? The sun must be rising from the west.
Narrowing her eyes, she slowly made her way toward Lauren, her slippered feet silent on the floor.
But ever since being reborn, Lauren’s hearing had become razor–sharp. The moment she picked up the soft footsteps, she spun around–and saw the woman standing right beside her.
Lauren’s pupils contracted.
Even though they’d only met once in her past life, she remembered this woman vividly.
This was none other than Felix’s stepmother–the same woman who’d thrown a fit at Grandma’s birthday banquet in her previous life, accusing Casey of being a homewrecker who seduced Felix’s father. She’d even beaten Casey bloody in front of everyone.
To avenge Casey, Felix had destroyed that woman–shattering all her teeth, ruining her face, and permanently crippling her hands.
Lauren never did find out what became of Casey afterward, but one thing Felix met a horrible end.
was certain: anyone who crossed

That was probably how she managed to seduce Felix’s father while he was still married. The moment hist wife passed away, he rushed Casey into the house.
By now, she’d been living here for five years.
She loathed Felix. But even as a child, he was ruthless and terrifying. She didn’t dare provoke him and had learned to keep her head down.
Usually, she stayed locked in her room whenever Felix was home, afraid of running into him.
She only came out now because she thought he’d gone out.
She didn’t expect to find Lauren instead.
Lauren’s gaze turned cold. She stared at Casey warily.
Casey noticed and scowled internally. Just like that damn Felix–his friends are just as insufferable.
Still, she forced a sweet, syrupy smile, reaching out with a manicured hand painted in bright red. “Oh my, whose little angel is this? So adorable. Are you Felix’s friend?”
Lauren backed away, dodging her hand.
Casey’s eyes immediately darkened.
Stupid brat. How dare you give me attitude?
She narrowed her eyes, and then something on Lauren caught her attention.
The necklace around her neck.
It looked exactly like the one Felix always wore.
No–it was the one Felix wore.
He treasured that necklace like his life. No one was allowed to touch it.
And now it was around this little girl’s neck.
Casey’s lips curled into a malicious smile.
So… the little bastard must really like this kid. He even gave her that precious necklace of his.
If something were to happen to her… if she got hurt–or even died–Felix would be devastated, wouldn’t he?
I can’t touch that little freak, but if I destroy someone he cares about, he’ll break. He’ll suffer.
With that thought, Casey suddenly lunged, grabbed Lauren, and lifted her up–aiming to throw her over the railing to her death.
There were no cameras in the house. If anyone asked, he could just say the kid fell by accident.
But I suren was far too clever
