Chapter 301 No Way Out
Scalding hot water splashed across Lauren’s body.
She screamed, collapsing to the ground, writhing in pain.
Her skin blistered instantly, angry red welts rising as steam curled off her burned flesh. Her body, already weakened by surgery, couldn’t withstand the sudden trauma. The wounds tore open, blood pouring out.
Taylor stood nearby, laughing hysterically at the sight.
Lucas’s face twisted with guilt. He let out a long, heavy sigh.
“Lauren, why do this to yourself? If you had just listened, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this.”
Lauren glared at the two of them with bloodshot eyes.
Tayler. Lucas
You never die a peaceful death.
Outside Hoverdale Tech University.
Two luxury cars were parked on the curb.
Kenny scoffed at Josh. “God, you’re so annoying. Mia can’t stand you, but you just keep showing up around her.”
Josh ignored him and turned to Jeffrey. “So this is your little brother? You’re sharp, but he looks like some angsty street punk. Hard to believe you two are related
Jeffrey hadn’t expected this either–the girl his brother liked just happened to be the same girl Josh was chasing.
Kenny’s face twisted. “You’re the street punk. Your whole family’s full of street punks!”
“Kenny, Jeffrey cut in.
Kenny was fuming. “Whose side are you on, Jeffrey? Mine or his? If I knew you were gonna defend him, I wouldn’t have brought you to meet Mia”
Just then, Mia walked out of the school.
Kenny waved quickly. “Mia! Over here!”
The moment she spotted both Kenny and Josh, Mia’s head throbbed.
Honestly, she didn’t want to see either of them.
She was
was just about to pretend she hadn’t heard when Josh’s phone rang
He glanced at the caller ID–Gael.
He picked up fast. “Gael, how are the boss and Ms. Lauren?”
Mia froze at the mention of Lauren, quickly striding over and listening closely.
Gael’s voice was strained. “We were caught in a landslide in the mountains. The boss–his legs were crushed.”
“What?” Josh’s face drained of color.
Mia stepped in, her voice shaking. “What about Lauren?”

To be taken now–if she got an infection, or if anything happened to the surgical site–it could kill her.
Mia couldn’t stay still another second
She grabbed Josh’s arm in panic. “Take me to her. Now
Josh didn’t hesitate. He jumped into the car, Mia right behind him.
With a roar, the engine came alive. Josh slammed his foot on the gas, and the car shot down the road like a buller.

Kenny saw the look on Mia’s face and knew something serious had happened. Without hesitation, he jumped into his own car. Jeffrey followed, and the two of them sped after Josh
The two cars tore through traffic, the scenery whipping by.
In the passenger seat, Mia clenched her fists until her knuckles went white. Her eyes were red, blazing with fury.
Lauren, hold on. I’m coming for you.
Whoever dared to take her–whoever laid a hand on her–would pay in blood.
At the same time, three more people had set out.
Sharon. George. Joe.
Willow’s biological parents and younger brother.
With no more money flowing from the Bennett family, Joe had been forced to return to the country. It didn’t take long before his parents told him the truth.
How Lauren had thrown Willow into the mountains to be humiliated by strange men
Joe had hated her ever since.
The three of them had been waiting for the right moment to strike back.
Now, their moment had arrived.
They had already received news of Willow’s death.
And the source?
Taylor.
She’d called them directly–and given them the exact address.
After the call. Taylor was practically glowing.
Luras, on the other hand, looked alarmed. “Why did you bring them into this?”
“Why? Taylor’s voice was icy. “To make Lauren pay.”
“They’ll kill her! Lucas snapped.
Taylor laughed coldly. “No. They won’t let her die that easily. They’ll break her, bit by bit, I want her to beg for death, but never find it. I’m going to film every second of it–every scream, every lear–and put it online for the whole country to see just how pathetic Lauren really is
