Kenneth’s eyes burned into Lauren with possessive fury his chiseled jaw clenched tightly. “We both know your history of bullying Willow,” he spat, his voice dripping with contempt. “Spare me the innocent act.
His hand dug into her wrist like handcuffs. “Apologize now, and I might forget this ever happened.” A cruel grin twisted his lips. “Or don’t and face the consequences.”
Lauren met his gazeively.
There was not the slightest bit of sadness and pain because of his misunderstanding and threats.
When accustomed to being.
mis good and humiliated by the Bennett family and Kennth, I have long been
hammered to be indestructible and invulnerable to all these words.
Even I no longer cared about
attitude towards me.
Five years ago, those same eyes had sparkled with friendly rivalry during university competitions. The boy who had once chased my academic achievements now made my skin crawl, but I had already felt nothing.
Andy, however, saw red. “You brainless baboon!”
He rolled up his sequined sleeves. “When has Lauren ever…”
“Enough.” Lauren’s calm voice cut through his anger. “Madam Kate’s banquet is beginning. Let’s go. There’s no need to get angry with unimportant people.”
Unimportant people?
The dismissal stung Kenneth more than any insult. That she could reduce him to a nonentity. Before Lauren could turn, Kenneth pulled her backward. Her shoulder hit the hallway wall with a sickening thud. The gift box tumbled from her grasp, its precious embroidery unfurling across the marble floor.
“Apologize!” Kenneth barked, pinning her against the wall.
Lauren hated his proximity and pushed him hard with both hands.
But his body was like a wall; no matter how much she pushed, she couldn’t push.
Andy couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed over, pushing Kenneth away from Lauren with all his might and cursing, “Apologize for what! You bastard!”
Kenneth frowned and kicked him in the stomach.
Andy fell to the ground clutching his stomach with a pained face and could no longer get up.
Lauren was shocked and angry and was just about to help Andy when she saw Willow pick up the embroidery on the ground.
Lauren’s pupils shrunk and angry, not caring about anything else, rushed up and were going to grab it, but Willow actually dodged it.
Lauren’s anger completely exploded at this moment. She raised her hand and fiercely smacked Willow in the face.

This slap came out of nowhere, and confused Willow.

A reddish handprint instantly surfaced on her face, and blood slightly oozed from her mouth.
Willow couldn’t believe it as she looked at Lauren; she thought that with Kenneth present, Lauren wouldn’t make a move on her.
Willow screamed inside, itching to tear Lauren apart.
But she couldn’t expose her nature in front of Kenneth
Tears instantly flowed down her face as she cried like a pear, “Lauric, I just wanted to help you to pick up your things; why are you hitting me?”
Kenneth’s face was horribly gloomy; he coldly looked a Lauren and gritted his teeth. “Lauren, you’ve gone too far!”
Lauren, however, acted as if she hadn’t heard him at all, her eyes fixed on the embroidery in Willow’s hands.
Taking a few steps forward, her voice was cold. “Give it back to me.”
Willow could see that Lauren cared very much about the thing in her hand, and she could probably guess that this thing should be a gift that Lauren was going to give to Madam Kate.
Then I would be even less likely to give it back to her.
Where Kenneth couldn’t notice, her long nails were deadening the embroidery, and she kept provoking Lauren with her eyes.
Seeing that the embroidery was almost deformed by Willow’s nails, Lauren’s anger was almost blast.
She could no longer care about much, pounced over, and started tearing and beating Willow.
Willow screamed, her voice taking on a crying tone, “Kenn, save me.”
Kenneth only felt that Lauren had gone crazy, as he grabbed Lauren’s arm and forcefully pulled her away.
“Kenneth, you bastard! Let go of me!”
No matter how much Lauren struggled, it was to no avail, and she was still forcefully dragged into the private room on the side by Kenneth.
