Chapter 303 Just in Time
The blinding pain tore Lauren out of unconsciousness.
Her whole body convulsed as sweat streamed down her forehead. Her face was ghostly pale.
Slowly, her vision cleared.

The first thing she saw was Sharon’s face–twisted, feral, almost unrecognizable. George stood beside her, arms crossed, looking down with cold disdain. And then there was a younger guy she didn’t recognize, eyes crawling over her like a predator.
He let out a slow, mocking whistle. “Didn’t expect the real Bennett heiress to be this pretty. You look like a dog now, but that face–yeah, that’s something.
He cracked his knuckles and stepped closer. “Would be a waste to let her die like this. Might as well let me have some fun
first.”
Sharon and George didn’t stop him. On the contrary, they looked pleased.
Sharon sneered. “Just take it slow, son. If she dies too fast, she’s getting off easy. After what she did to your sister, we’re going to pay her back tenfold.”
Joe smirked. “Don’t worry. I’ve got plenty of experience breaking girls in.”
Taylor stood nearby, phone in hand, recording everything. “Let’s see how she likes this. Let’s make her famous for the right
reasons.”
Joe reached down to grab Lauren-
But Lucas stepped between them, panicked and breathless. “No. Lauren’s mine. You don’t touch her.”
Joe’s face darkened. Without hesitation, he slapped Lucas across the face.
The blow sent Lucas crashing to the floor.
Sharon laughed.
“Useless piece of trash. A big–shot lawyer reduced to a cripple. What a joke. All that law you studied? What did it ever do for you?”
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
“You” Lucas seethed, face flushed with rage–but powerless to stop anything.
Joe dragged Lauren by the arms into the bedroom and threw her on the bed, climbing on top of her.
Lauren’s body was burning. Her stitches had torn open again. But even through the pain, her instinct to survive kicked in
She thrashed, reaching blindly for anything she could use.
Her fingers brushed something–a lamp.
With all her strength, she smashed it against Joe’s head.
Joe screamed, grabbing at his scalp as blood poured down his face. His eyes gleamed red, his whole body shaking with fury.
“You bitch!” he roared, slapping her again and again..
Lauren’s face swelled instantly. Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
Sharon and George ran into the room when they heard their son scream. The moment they saw Joe’s blood–soaked face, their fury erupted

Sharon froze.
Who the hell is it
she barked.

No response–just faster, harder pounding on the door.
George’s face darkened. “You think that’s Felix’s people?”
Taylor’s hands started shaking. “No… no way. How would they find us this fast?”
The banging continued, relentless.
“Open the door!”
The voice was unmistakable.
Josh
Fear
Fear spread like wildfire in the room.
“They found us…”
“Don’t panic! If we don’t open it, they can’t get in
“What if he called the cops?”
“Grab something. Anything. We fight if we have to
Sharon, George, and Taylor all grabbed knives.
Lucas, now back in his wheelchair, rolled into the kitchen and picked up a rolling pin.
They all turned toward the door.
Joe was still on top of Lauren, ripping at her clothes, panting. “Even if I die here, I’m taking this slut with me. Let’s see what Felix sees in you, huh?”
The door shuddered under the force of the kicks.
Then, with a deafening crash-
The lock gave way.
The door flew open
Gael Josh Jeffrey. Kenny. Mia.
They stormed in like a tidal wave.
Taylor, Sharon, and the rest froze in place, their eyes wide in horror.
