Chapter 11 Sleeping in Brothers Room ? Shameless .
Finished As soon as David stepped into the room , he started questioning angrily , Elliot , get up ! Why did you unilaterally terminate … The rest of his words got stuck in his throat .
He stared in shock at Lauren lying on the bed , his mind unable to process the scene .
Lauren was startled awake by his yelling
She slowly opened her eyes and froze , momentarily unable to recognize where she was .
Alice gasped as soon as she stepped inside .
Lauren , why are you sleeping in your brothers bed ? Lauren remained frozen .
Brother ? Elliot ? Didnt he hate me ? Then why had he brought me into his room ? For three years in the Bennett family , Willow had been free to enter and exit Elliots room as she pleased , but Lauren had never once been allowed to step inside .
Davids and Alices expressions darkened as they scanned the room for Elliot , but he was nowhere to be found .
Davids tone was cold as he asked Lauren , Where is your brother ? Lauren glanced at him indifferently and said nothing .
She got out of bed unhurriedly and limped toward the door .
But David jand Alice stood in her way , blocking her exit .
Seeing that neither of them intended to move , Lauren frowned slightly .
Excuse me .
David was already furious over Gray Corporation cutting ties with Bennett Corporation .
Now , faced with Laurens distant attitude treating him like a stranger , his anger burned even hotter .
Im your father , and this is how you treat your elders ? You have absolutely no manners .
I dont know who spoiled you into having such a rotten personality .
Alice quickly tried to smooth things over .
David , why are you being so harsh on her ? If you have something to say , just say it properly .
David let out a cold snort .
Then ask her , why wasnt she sleeping in her room ? Why did she run to her brothers room ? Shes over twenty , not a child anymore .
Even on her first night back , shes already stirring up trouble .
Even if hes her biological brother , she cant just crawl into his bed in the middle of the night , right ? Im being harsh for her own good .
Why dont I treat Willow this way ? Willow would never act in such a shameless manner .
Who knows what shes thinking , maybe … Thats enough ! Alice interrupted him anxiously .
But even if he didnt finish his sentence , anyone could guess what he was about to say .
Laurens heart clenched painfully .
She knew the Bennett family didnt like her , but she had never imagined her father saw her in such a degrading light .
Elliot was her biological brother .
What kind of thoughts could I possibly have ? Only someone truly twisted could think of such things .
Suppressing the hurt in her eyes , she looked up , her expression how cold and indifferent .
Are you finished ? If so , move aside ; I need to leave .
Davids chest heaved with anger , yet he remained steadfast , his gaze becoming even more icy .
Alices worry deepened , Laurie , why are you so stubborn ? Just tell your father where your brother went .
I dont know .
She sidestepped , attempting to squeeze past them .
Suddenly , a cold , strong hand grabbed her arm and violently yanked her back .
Lauren crashed to the floor .
Her injured leg twisted again , and the pain was so sharp she couldnt get up .
Alice gasped in horror .
David , have you lost your mind ? Shes not leaving this room until she explains everything Lauren endured the pain and looked up , meeting Davids harsh gaze .
His eyes were filled with malice , not the eyes of a father looking at his daughter , but of someone eyeing a prey he could control at will .
I despise that look .
I want to escape .
Planting her hands firmly on the floor , she pushed herself up slowly , forcing herself to stay composed .
I really dont know where Mr.
Elliot is, instead of asking me , why dont you call him ? Yes , please call him ! Alice quickly took out her phone and dialed Elliots number .
A second later , the sound of a ringing phone came from the study room next door .

The sudden brightness made him frown ; he slowly opened his eyes .
Davids anger flared .
Pointing at him , he bellowed , Look at the state youre in ! Elliot lazily swirled the empty bottle in his hand , and when he found it empty , he tossed it aside .
Davids fury grew .
Tell me , why did you suddenly terminate our deal with Gray Corporation : Theyre an important business partner , and besides , Kenneth and Willow are engaged .
Have you even considered the impact on the company ? Have you thought about how Willow would feel ? Elliot let out a hoarse , mocking laugh .
Did Kenneth consider any of that when he ordered people to bully Laurie ! What nonsense are you talking about ? Elliot sneered and struggled to his feet .
Kenneth ordered prisoners to beat her , slap her , force her to kneel , make her drink from the toilet , and stab her with needles ..
Do you know why her leg is crippled ? Because they broke it .
As he listed each act of abuse , Davids and Alices eyes widened in shock .
Thats impossible .
Elliot tapped a few times on his phone .
A moment later , both Davids and Alice See for yourselves ; Michael dug up this information .
phones vibrated .
The documents , accompanied by shocking photos , revealed the horrifying abuse Lauren had endured in prison .
Alice instinctively covered her mouth , tears streaming down her face .
Davids expression grew complicated , his brows furrowing deeply .
After a long silence , he finally spoke .
Elliot , youre being too impulsive Elliots face remained expressionless .
So , you think I shouldve just stood by and watched my sister get tortured without doing anything ? David stayed silent for a long time before sighing heavily .
Youre hurting the enemy but suffering heavy losses yourself .
Cutting ties with Gray Corporation brings no benefit to Bennett Corporation .
As if to prove his point , his phone rang .
After answering the call , Davids face darkened even further .
Elliot , because of your decision , Bennett Corporation has lost 140 million dollars .
Elliots expression changed .
His lips trembled slightly , but eventually , he just pressed them together and said nothing .
Alice was already on the verge of panic , pacing the room anxiously , wringing her hands .
What do we do ? What should we do now ? David exhaled slowly .
The only way is to restore our partnership with Gray Corporation With that , he dialed Kenneths number .
The moment the call connected , the atmosphere in the study room grew heavy and tense.
Davids expression shifted as the conversation went on , his brows furrowed , then relaxed , then tensed again .
Finally , the call ended , and he slowly set his phone down Alices voice trembled with hope .
What did Kenneth say ? * He agreed to restart the partnership , but only on one condition Laurie has to go to the hospital tomorrow and apologize to his sister in person .
Just then , a sweet , innocent voice drified over .
Laurie , its so late .
