Chapter 372 A Monster’s Game
To save his own skin. Kyle pinned Casey to the ground.
“Honey, don’t blame me–blame yourself for being so stubborn. Why did you have to mess with that Jackson girl and tell her to target Lauren Connth bullied Lauren, and of course the Mavis family is going to retaliate. The Jacksons are probably on the verge of bankruptcy, and now you have to pay the price for what you did.”
“No–no, don‘)!” Casey struggled desperately.
But she was no match for Kyle’s strength. She was pinned, helpless, as Kyle severed her tongue.
She let out a blood–curdling scream. Blood gushed across the floor.
Felix watched, satisfied.
“Kyle, you’re still the same cowardly fool. You really believed me when I said I turned on the gas? Do you honestly think I’d risk dying with you two when I care so much about Lauren?”
Kyle looked at him, horror–stricken “W–What are you talking about?”
“I mean” Felix said calmly, “I never turned on the gas. But now that you’ve cut Casey’s tongue out, you’ve committed a crime. Congratulations, dear Father–you’re going to prison.”
Felix’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. It was more terrifying than a demon’s
Kyle was so stunned his eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
He’d always known Felis was dangerous–but he’d never realized just how deeply calculating he really was.
With just a few words, Felix had tricked him into committing a felony.
Kyle glared at him with hatred. “You little bastard! You won’t die a good death!”
Felix’s voice was as cold as ever. “If I’m a bastard, then what does that make you? You should start worrying about yourself.”
“You–you-” Kyle choked on rage, nearly blacking out
“I should we strangled you the moment you were born,” he spat through clenched teeth.
But felix didn’t flinch at his hysteria. Kyle was nothing more than a dying man flailing in his final moments.
That night, the Brooker household was thrown into chaos.
Kyle was arrested for aggravated assault, and Casey was rushed to the hospital.

Felix used that as an excuse to have her committed to a psychiatric hospital.
Her breakdown made it easy for everyone to believe she’d lost her mind from the trauma of losing her tongue
No one suspected that a ten–year–old boy had orchestrated the entire thing.
Meanwhile, the Mavis household was buzzing with excitement.
Lauren’s college acceptance letter had arrived.
Not only was she the top scorer in the province–she’d been accepted into the National Defense University.
Mr. Timely and Madam Shirley held the letter with trembling hands, tears of joy in their eyes.
“Our Lauren she’s really the top scorer in the province?”
“She got into the National Defense University?”
My sister is incredible.”
The three of them looked at Lauren like she was the rarest treasure on Earth.
What they didn’t expect was the storm of reporters that descended on the Mavis estate shortly after the news after another, they arrived with cameras, microphones, and lights flashing like fireworks.
Microphones were practically shoved into Lauren’s mouth.
Being top scorer was impressive–but there were top scorers every year.
What made this different was that Lauren was only five years old

The reporters looked at her like she was the second coming of Einstein. They could already imagine the headlines
A child prodigy like Lauren would inevitably become a cornerstone of the nation’s future.
Everyone was desperate to get the first exclusive. The estate was so packed it felt like the threshold might collapse under all the footsteps.
By the time the reporters finally left, Mr. Timely and Madam Shirley were both parched and exhausted.
But when they looked at Lauren, the love in their eyes only deepened.
