Chapter 377 The Real Mother
“Fake! Turn it off–turn it off now!”
David lunged for the remote, but the security guards pinned him to the ground.
The next second, the screen changed. This time, it showed the entrance to an orphanage.
In the pitch–black night, David abandoned newborn Lauren at the orphanage’s doorstep.
Looking down at the tiny infant, he sneered viciously. “If you weren’t still useful to me, I’d have fed you to the dogs. When you grow up, if your kidneys match Willow’s, I’ll cut them out and give them to her.”
With 1
that venomous declaration, David scoffed, got into his car, and drove away.
It’s over, he thought. I’m completely done for.
The crowd that had watched the footage no longer looked at him with sympathy. Now, all they felt was disgust and fury.
“So everything he said earlier was a lie. He just wanted to use public opinion to pressure the Mavis family,”
“He tried to use us like pawns? Unbelievable.”
“I’ve never seen anyone this cruel. He doesn’t deserve to be a father.”
As the guests began to turn on David, Alice appeared.
Without a word, she marched up to David and slapped him twice across the face.
“You’re not even human, David! I’ll kill you!”
She clawed at his face with her sharp nails, and in moments, his cheeks were covered in scratches.
“You’ve lost your mind, Alice! Get off me!”
“You disgusting, shameless pig. What right do you have to claim Lauren? She’s my daughter–mine! You’re nothing but a scumbag
“Don’t forget, she’s my blood too!”
“David, I’m divorcing you.”
“Heh, even if you divorce me, don’t think you can take my daughter away.”
The two of them went completely feral, fighting right there at the party. Wine glasses shattered. Cakes went flying.
Mr. Timely and Madam Shirley watched the chaos with veins bulging on their foreheads.
This was Lauren’s graduation banquet–an event they had put their hearts into. And it had been completely ruined.
Last time, they had nearly wrecked her birthday. This time, they didn’t just crash the event–they smashed everything in sight
Throw them out,” Mr. Timely snapped.
A squad of bodyguards in black appeared, quickly subduing David and Alice and dragging them out.
Alice struggled wildly. “Let me go! I came for my daughter! You Mavis bastards–Lauren was stolen by that monster David! I’ve always loved her! I’m her mother! You have no right to stop me from claiming her!”

The couple turned to Lauren.
“Lauren do you want to go home with your biological mother?”
Alice stared at her with hopeful eyes.

“Lauren, believe me, I love you just as much as your adoptive mother–maybe even more. Come home with me. I promise I’ll give you all my love.”
Lauren glanced at Alice, then looked back at Mr. and Mrs. Mavis.
“Dad, Mom, there’s something I want to say to them. Is that okay?”
Madam Shirley gently patted her head.
“Say whatever you need to say.”
No matter how much it hurt, they knew–Alice was Lauren’s birth mother. If Lauren chose to leave with her, they would have to respect that.
Lauren walked toward Alice, step by step. Mr. Timely frowned. Madam Shirley’s eyes welled up with tears.
Alice was trembling with excitement, at a loss for words.
“Lauren, you’ve come around, haven’t you? You’re coming home with me? I knew it–my sweet daughter would never abandon me.”
Lauren looked up at her and said coldly, “Kneel.”
Alice blinked “Kneel?”
Lauren nodded. “Yes. Kneel. I have something to say to you.”
Alice noticed something strange in Lauren’s expression–she didn’t seem like she wanted to go home with her at all.
Still, she slowly knelt, hopeful. “Lauren, what do you want to say to Mommy?”
Lauren leaned in closer.
Seeing her daughter so near, Alice’s heart nearly burst with joy. She even cast a smug look toward Mr. Timely and Madam Shirley.
See? This is what a mother–daughter bond looks like.
Even after five years apart, Lauren was still her little girl, just like in their past life. Still longing for her love,
