Chapter 294 The Depths of Despair
Finished
She crawled to the pig trough, which was filled with chicken feed emitting a nauseating, fishy stench Without a second thought, Willow grabbed the chicken feed and, not caring about the dirt, shoved it into her mouth, eating greedily.
The once pampered and capricious Willow had now fallen to such a state.
Lauren watched this version of Willow, her heart filled with melancholy.
With a mocking look, Lauren’s tone was icy, “Willow, did you ever imagine you’d end up this destitute?
Hearing Lauren’s voice, Willow paused her eating. Slowly, she turned her head, her vacant eyes meeting Lauren’s mocking gaz,
At first, there was confusion in her eyes, as if she truly didn’t recognize Lauren.
But the disdain for Lauren had long taken root in her heart. Seeing Lauren’s face, her body instinctively recoiled in disgust, and she was instantly furious.
Ignoring the chicken feed in her mouth, Willow let out a beast–like growl from her throat and lunged at Lauren, as if she truly intended to snap her neck.
However, she had barely moved forward when the chain on her foot yanked her back harshly, causing her to fall forward and crash heavily into the chicken droppings.
But this did not dampen her frenzy; she flailed about on the ground, clawing and thrashing like a madwoman. Tll kill you, I want to kill you!”
Lauren watched her coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. You want to kill me? You think you’re capable:
Her voice was as cold as ice but carried a hint of satisfaction, “Willow, I came all the way out here just to see how miserable you are. Back at the Bennetts, you stirred up trouble everywhere. It was my home, yet I was an outsider, despised by my parents and brother, all of whom favored you, even willing to let me go to jail. Do you know why I survived the humiliation and beatings in prison? Because I was waiting for this day, to get my revenge and watch you all go to hell.”
Willow, struck by these words, struggled fiercely, the chains pulled tight, making a grating noise.
“My dad is a chairman, my mom is a socialite, my brother is a CEO! They will come to rescue me, and they won’t let anyone who has wronged me get away!”
Lauren scoffed, “Chairman? Socialite? CEO? Ha! One is paralyzed from a stroke, another blinded in one eye and locked in a psychiatric hospital, and another is in prison. And you? Do you even look human anymore? You’re just a plaything for the men in this village, lower than a pig!”
Hearing this, madness flashed in Willow’s eyes, and she let out an even more piercing scream, “It can’t be, it can’t be, I am a noble daughter, I deserve a superior life, you’re the evil one, you should die-
Lauren said no more, merely watching as Willow writhed on the ground in agony.
Scream, cry. It won’t be long before Willow dies too.
Sadly, she couldn’t hear; if only she could hear Willow’s heart–wrenching cries, it would be such sweet

Chapter 294 The Depths of Despair
Finished.
Lauren just quietly watched Willow’s agonizing wails. Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed Lauren’s
ankle.
The hand was rough as dry branches, cold as if clasped by a cold–blooded creature.
Lauren felt it and jumped, kicking instinctively.
Her kick landed squarely on David’s face.
David’s nose immediately began to bleed.
Yet he seemed not to feel the pain, looking up at Lauren with pleading eyes.
His mouth moved, “Take… me… home…
David’s voice was muffled, but his eyes were full of pleading.
Unlike Willow’s madness and Alice’s dementia, David, though paralyzed and immobile, was lucid.
Returning to the mountains had been an endless nightmare for him.
The people there were malicious towards him; his father not only beat and scolded him but also often denied him food and water, letting him struggle in his own waste without any regard for their familial ties.
Seeing Lauren now, he grasped at her like a last lifeline, begging her to pity him, his father.
Lauren looked down, meeting David’s pleading gaze with a face full of malice.
“David, what makes you think I would take you home?”
