Chapter 49 Stubborn Whats wrong ? Are you that eager to see me get sued by Lucas ? Laurens sharp accusations made Alices chest tighten with pain , her tears falling instantly .
Lauren ….
Madam Alice ! Lauren snapped angrily .
Do you really not know what Willow has done , or are you just pretending ? Do you truly not know the injustices Ive suffered , or do you take pleasure in watching me endure torment ? N No , thats not true Alice was already sobbing uncontrollably .
But those tears didnt soften Laurens heart in the slightest ; they only deepened her disgust .
Your actions say otherwise .
What else is there to argue ? You treat me like a fool , stringing me along , watching me stupidly long for your motherly love .
That must give you such a sense of accomplishment .
huh ? You must even laugh about it in your sleep ! No , I didnt ! Lauren , listen to me .
Mommy loves you just as much as I love Willow ! Haha , hahahaha Lauren suddenly burst into laughter , so hard that rears nearly came out .
She laughed until her stomach hurt , until the pain in her injured shoulder flared up again , but the pain only made her more clear headed .
You say you love me , yer youre the one who drove me insane .
I was once the top student at Hoverdales top high school , the provincial champion of the college entrance exam , and a scholar at Northcrest University .
And now ? Five years later , what am A lunatic .
A cripple .
A lifelong ex convict who will never be able to hold her head up again .
And who pushed me into this abyss ? Wasnt it you ! You protected Willow because you loved her .
And because you loved me , you chose to push me straight into hell .
What gives you the right to say that your love for us is the same ? Alice was devastated by Laurens words , shaking her head desperately as she said , No , thats not true .
Willow gazed at Lauren with teary eyes .
Lauren , I know you hate me .
Its fine if you want to bully me , but why do you have to bully me too ? Alice clutched Willow in her arms , crying , Willow , stop talking .
Its all my fault .
And just like that , the mother and daughter held each other and wept .
Lauren watched them coldly , her face devoid of emotion .
At that moment , David and Elliot happened to walk out of the study and saw the scene .
Without waiting for an explanation , David immediately roared at Lauren in anger .
You ungrateful girl ! Youve barely been home , and youre already stirring up trouble again .
Do you even have a heart ? Your mother and sister have been worrying themselves sick over you while you were in the hospital ! Cant you feel anything ? Lauren lifted her gaze and cast a cold glance at David .
There wasnt a trace of respect in her eyes only endless mockery .
She smirked slightly , and though she said nothing , her half smiling expression was scarier than any words .
David was so enraged by her stubbornness that his face turned livid .
He stomped down the stairs and raised his hand , about to strike Lauren .
Elliot immediately stopped him .
Dad , dont be rash ! Lets talk this through ! David glared at Lauren with anger .
Elliot , let go of me ! Im going to teach this disrespectful brat a lesson today ! Elliot held David back with all his strength , preventing him from getting even an inch closer to Lauren .
Lauren met Davids gaze coldly .
She was utterly fed up with this so called father of hers .
This old bastard really had a short memory .
He was scared to his core the last time she pulled a knife on him , almost wetting his pants .
And now , after just a few days , he dared to lay a hand on her again ? She could feel Davids hostility toward her , it was different from Alices or even Elliots .
His hatred ran deep .
He was her biological father , yet every time he looked at her , it was as if he were looking at his worst enemy .
Under Laurens stare , David roared , Apologize to your mother and Willow right now ! Apologize ? And why should I ? Lauren asked back .
… an made spre machine cani Chanddas mau ha naslarinin Chapter 49 Stubborn Finished I hit Willow because she deserved it.
And as for Madam Alice , shes crying because shes done too many shameful things .
What the hell does that have to do with me ? Lauren asked , her words firm and unwavering .
David was trembling with anger and tried to lunge at Lauren again , but Elliot held him back tightly .
He turned to Lauren , pleading .
Lauren , cant you just say less for once ? Lauren folded her arms and sneered .
Your dad is about to hit me , and Im not even allowed to talk back ? Lauren .
Elliot frowned , his expression disapproving .
No matter what , hes still your father .
Lauren let out a cold scoff .
My father died a long time ago .
Im an orphan Davids anger exploded .
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets , and the veins on his neck bulged .
His face turned red with anger , his jaw clenched so tightly it looked like he might shatter his own teeth .
Pointing a trembling finger at Lauren , he shouted , You wretched omen ! Ever since you came back , this house has known no peace ! Youre nothing but a harbinger of disaster ! Send Gifts 250
