Chapter 143 Stripped Bare The shredded gown slipped further off her body as they dragged her , leaving her almost completely exposed .
Kenneth stood frozen , watching it all unfold .
His face was blank , but his eyes burned with conflict .
He wanted to stop them .
He even took a step forward .
But Willow was there in an instant , clutching his arm .
Kenn , you cant afford to offend the Brooker family .
You came to this party to build a connection with them , didnt you ? Kenneths steps faltered .
Lauren was being dragged farther and farther away .
The shame and violence made his chest tighten with unbearable guilt .
But Willows words threw him into turmoil .
His feet wouldnt move .
He just stood there , watching Lauren get hauled off like a criminal , like something disposable .
Laurie , its not that I dont want to help you .
You brought this on yourself .
Youre too stubborn .
You pissed off Madam Casey .
You refuse to brg .
Youre only being humiliated because of your own pride .
He kept repeating it , over and over in his head .
Until finally , he believed it .
Until it really did feel like this was all Laurens fault like she actually had tried to seduce a married man and deserved what was happening to her .
Andy watched Lauren being dragged away , her body bruised and exposed , and terror flooded his veins He knew what Felix was capable of Everyone in Balewood did He still remembered the stories .
When Felix was five , Casey Kyles current wife had stormed into his house , screaming at his mother and sending her into cardiac arrest Five year old Felix had pushed a pregnant Casey down a flight of stairs .
She miscarried on the spot .
Then hed had her uterus removed so she could never get pregnant again .
Felix might have learned to fake a gentler face as he got older , but Andy knew better .
That man was a monster in a railored suit And if that monster saw what had happened to Lauren tonight , thered be hell to pay .
Andy didnt want to be anywhere near that fallout .
Panic surged through him .
He fought like hell to break free of the women scratching and clawing at him .
You want to die ? Fine ! But dont drag me down with you ! Andy roared and lunged after Lauren .
But Willow stuck her leg out at just the right moment .
Andy didnt see it in time .
He went down hard , smashing his chin into the marble floor .
Pain exploded in his mouth .
He tasted blood .
His teeth had split open his lip .
He lay there , stunned and half conscious Laurens body hit the banquet hall floor with a sickening thud .
The room went silent .
Chapter 143 Stripped Bare Kyles face twisted into a frown .
Casey , what the hell do you think youre doing ? His voice held a note of warning .
He clearly hadnt expected her to go this far .
But Casey only laughed .
What am I doing ? Im catching a whore red handed .
She pointed to Lauren , wild eyed and triumphant .
That slut seduced my husband ! Everyone look closely ! Shes the homewrecker ! Kyle stepped in , tried to hush her .
This is my mothers birthday , Casey .
Enough of this .
+8 Pearls Casey shook him off , shouting louder than ever , She seduced my husband ! She ruined my family ! That little bitch deserves to be exposed ! She didnt stop yelling until a cold voice sliced through the air .
So tell me , when did this party become the Madam Casey Show ? The color drained from her face .
She turned slowly and there was Felix .
He stood just behind her , eyes like a frozen blade .
Caseys bravado shattered .
In her blind rage , shed forgotten the one person she should never piss off .
Her brain scrambled for excuses , for something to explain away what shed done .
But her throat tightened until she could barely breathe .
Those ice cold eyes pinned her in place .
Mr.
Brooker ..
she croaked .
Her lips curled into a shaky smile .
Of course this partys for Madam Kate .
I was just trying to ..
lighten the mood .
