Chapter 225 Unraveling Truths
David knew keeping Elaine alive was a mistake. If he had known better, he would have ended her life while she was still in a vegetative state.
But who could have predicted that a vegetable would wake up? David’s facial muscles trembled with tension.
He feigned composure and said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Elaine suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Isn’t this exactly what you and Willow plotted upstairs five years ago? And that’s not all; you planned to drive your own wife insane, craft an image of a loving husband, and once you controlled the entire Bennett Corporation, you planned to kill her and marry Sharon, your secret lover. As for Elliot, you wanted him to spend his life working for your lover and her kids, ensuring he wouldn’t get a dime from your will.”
“No, you’re making this up; it’s a setup,” David protested.
“A setup?” Elaine’s eyes widened, her emaciated appearance making her look especially haunting.
“It’s because I overheard you and Willow that you pushed me down the stairs, hoping I’d die, but I didn’t. My survival disrupted your plans, so you framed Lauren for attempted murder instead.”
Elaine turned her gaze to Alice, her look dripping with sarcasm.
“Madam Alice, you really are a fine wife to David, a wonderful mother to Willow. Lauren could have cleared her name if it weren’t for you deleting the surveillance footage that proved her innocence. You made her take the fall for Willow, spending five years in jail, enduring endless torment.“.
Alice felt a chill down her spine, trembling all over. Knowing David had abandoned Lauren, caused her father’s death, had an affair, and made her raise his other woman’s child had already been a massive shock.
But she had never imagined the truth from five years ago would be a hundred times more brutal.
David and Willow, devoid of any humanity, had not only failed to kill Laurie but had also pinned the blame for murder on her. And Alice, she had helped Willow destroy the evidence and personally persuaded Lauren to take the fall.
Alice’s breathing became more labored, her heart felt as though it was being ripped apart by an invisible hand, a tearing pain spreading throughout her body, a sickly sweet taste rising in her throat.
Overwhelmed, she couldn’t hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her body faltered, but her remaining eye looked remorsefully at Lauren. She shakily reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Lauren’s face to express her deep remorse.
But everything went dark, and she collapsed straight to the floor. Before passing out, she saw Lauren sitting motionless on the sofa, her indifference deeply wounding Alice.
The Laurie she knew wasn’t like this. I destroyed Laurie’s affection for me. Laurie, I am so sorry.
Alice closed her eyes in despair and passed out. Lauren, seeing this, didn’t move an eyebrow, letting Alice lie on the cold floor.
Just then, the living room door was pushed open from the outside, and Josh led the way in, followed by Willow, Sharon, and Kenneth.
“Mr. Brooker, I’ve brought everyone you asked for,” Josh announced.
Felix nodded, “Everyone is here, now the real show begins!”
Only the Brooker family knew what Felix meant by that.
But that wasn’t the focus. Brielle and Elaine simultaneously turned their heads as their gazes landed on Willow, their eyes nearly shooting flames.

lightly.

David looked at Willow with affection, but upon noticing her shaved head, his anger flared, “Willow, who did this to you? Tell me, and I will make them pay. They will learn what happens when they mess with the Bennetts.”
At the sight of Elaine, Willow froze, terror filling her eyes.
When she met Brendan, Brielle, and Elaine’s resentful gazes, her heart skipped a beat–Elaine must have revealed the truth about five years ago.
