Chapter 78 The Final Betrayal
Her shoulders trembled slightly, her hands hanging helessly at her sides as if all her strength had been drained..
“Lucas…” Her voice was hoarse, filled with endless grief and sorrow. But before she could finish, her emotions crupted. She screamed at Lucas, “It wasn’t me. But Lucas didn’t believe her.
Not only did he not believe her, but his eyes looked at her as if she were a madwoman trying to cover up her crimes.
He let go of her shoulders in disgust.
The next moment. Lauren was treated even more harshly.
A large hand suddenly grabbed her head, forcing her to turn around and look at the lifeless Elaine on the hospital bed.
Elliot’s face was filled with rage as he shouted, “We all saw it! How dare you lie? If it wasn’t you, where did. those marks on Elaine’s neck come from? Lauren, how did you become so vicious? Elaine just regained consciousness, and you couldn’t wait to strangle her to silence her, could you?”
Elliot’s heart ached..
How could my own sister be like that?
I had once been angry about how she had been mistreated in prison.
But now, it seemed that I had been too naive. Even after being beaten and bullied, Lauren’s evil nature hadn’t changed.
Perhaps someone like her belonged in a place as ruthless as prison.
Every word Elliot spoke was like a sharp knife stabbing into Lauren’s heart.
Lauren’s body shook violently. She shook her head in desperation. “It wasn’t me; it really wasn’t me. It was Willow. She was the one who strangled Elaine…”
Her voice became more and more desperate, ending in a near scream.
But Kenneth, Lucas, and Elliot still looked at her with anger.
“You’re just as stubborn as you were five years ago.”
“Five years ago, you pushed Elaine down the stairs and framed Elaine. Now, five years later, you are trying to strangle Elaine and frame Elaine again. Using the same trick twice. Do you think we’re fools?”
“Lauren, someone as evil as you really deserves to die.”
The three of them condemned Lauren one after the other.
Just like five years ago, no matter how much she explained or cried, no one believed in her innocence.
This time, Lauren felt like the world was spinning.

Chapter 78 The Final Betrayal
Finished
Back then, it had been the same. My brother, my childhood fend, and my so–called fiance had all stood together, condemning me with their words and wishing they could droon me in their spit,
Five years had passed, and although the time and place were different, the same people were accusing me of murder again.
When Kate saw these men treating her future grandsons wife so roughly and accusing her of murder, she was furious.
She stepped forward, slapped Elliot’s hand away, and stood in front of Lauren like a mother hen protecting her chick. “What is wrong with you guys? Accusing her without even understanding the situation! It was this woman who tried to strangle the patient on the bed!”
The old woman pointed at Willow,
Anna and Marilyn also chimed in. “Yes, we all saw it.”
Kenneth, Lucas, and Elliot all turned to look at Willow,
“No, it wasn’t me. It was Lauren who strangled Elaine. I was trying to protect Elaine, so…” Willow pleaded desperately; her voice choked with tears.
Willow’s hair was a mess, strands sticking to her tear–stained face, making her look disheveled.
The scratches on her face from Lauren’s nails stood out against her tearful expression, making her look even more pitiful.
She sobbed, her body shaking slightly, her voice filled with tears. “It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t. Elaine is my best friend. How could I hurt her? It was Lauren. She suddenly rushed in and attacked Elaine. I tried to stop her, but she scratched me.”
As she spoke, she burst into sobs again, and her appearance was enough to make anyone feel sorry for her.
Kenneth’s already angry eyes turned even redder. He suddenly turned around, grabbed Lauren’s neck, and slammed her against the wall. “How dare you lie!”
Lauren felt as if her back had been struck by lightning, the pain spreading through her body instantly.
Her head was spinning from the impact, and her vision was blurred.
Her neck was crushed, cutting off her breath, and her face turned blue.
But she ignored her own pain and struggled to make a weak plea: “Call a doctor… Save her…”
