Chapter 228 Oops, She Did It Again
Willow never imagined that her background would be thoroughly investigated. This time, she was truly scared and acutely aware of Felix’s formidable reach, even unearthing secrets from over twenty years ago.
She had only one thought, she couldn’t stay here any longer; she needed to escape immediately.
Willow spun around and bolted, but a strong hand suddenly gripped her shoulder, the force so great it felt like her shoulder blade would shatter.
Kenneth’s voice was almost a hiss through clenched teeth, “Willow, you haven’t explained yourself. Where do you think you’re going?”
The pain was excruciating, and tears immediately welled up in Willow’s eyes, “Kenn, you’re hurting me.”
Her words only unleashed Kenneth’s pent–up emotions like a dam bursting.
“Pain? You know about pain? When you pushed Elaine down the stairs, did you think about her pain? When you had Laurie tormented in prison, did you ever consider her pain?”
“You and David, and her!” he shouted, pointing abruptly at Sharon, “When you all conspired to harvest Laurie’s organs, did you ever stop to think about how much she would suffer?”
Kenneth, unable to contain his fury, slammed the documents in his hand into Willow’s face and yelled, “You wench, you’ve been lying to me all along!”
Tears uncontrollably streamed down Kenneth’s face. He couldn’t tell if he was crying over his own stupidity or the remorse of continuously hurting Lauren under Willow’s deceit. In a fit of rage, he slapped Willow so hard that she fell to the ground.
“Willow!”
Simultaneously, Sharon, George, and David cried out in shock and rushed to Willow’s side.
Kenneth no longer cared about them; he turned around, his eyes full of regret, looking at Lauren.
He had so much he wanted to say to Lauren, but the damage he had done was too profound. Just moments ago, he had still been vehemently defending Willow.
It wasn’t intentional. It was all Willow’s deception; he too was a victim.
Kenneth reached out, wanting to embrace Lauren tightly, to let her feel his remorse.
Lauren frowned, repulsed by the thought of Kenneth touching her. She found him utterly disgusting.
She tried to move away, but her injuries slowed her escape.
Just as Kenneth was about to envelop her in his arms, a strong, slender hand suddenly reached out, firmly encircled her waist, and pulled her into a chest scented with cedar and a hint of tobacco.
The next second, Felix kicked Kenneth with no mercy, sending him flying.
“She belongs to me, you think you have the right to touch?” Felix’s voice was deep and icy.
Kenneth lay sprawled on the ground, slowly lifting his head to look at Lauren with a pained expression, pleading, “Laurie, it wasn’t intentional, please forgive me, okay?”
Lauren was completely shielded in Felix’s embrace, her face buried in his chest, inhaling the distinct scent of cedar mixed with a faint smell of tobacco.
She didn’t hear what Kenneth said. Her silence plunged Kenneth into deep despair.
Laurie would never forgive him. He could never have the girl he loved most.

Chapter 228 Oops, She Did It Again
Felix didn’t spare him a glance as he walked away with Lauren in his arms.
Kenneth’s eyes were red with fury as he raised his fist and charged. ‘I told you to let Laurie go-”
Finished
At that moment, Brendan could no longer stand by. He stepped forward and slapped Kenneth across the face, barking. “You fool, how much longer will you embarrass us?”
Brielle looked on disappointedly, “Kenneth, you’ve let us down.”
Elaine scoffed. “I’m ashamed to have a brother like you. To have you as a brother is bad luck. From now on, you are no longer my brother, and I am no longer your sister.”
“No, it’s not like that, it’s not my fault, I was used by Willow too.”
Kenneth shook his head frantically, defending himself.
Lauren would never forgive him, and the agony was unbearable. Why couldn’t my parents and sister understand?
