Her heartbeat faltered , unease creeping in .
Josh , drive faster .
Suppressing the anxiety clawing at her , Lauren urged him to speed up .
It wasnt until they reached the Brookers Villa safely that she finally let out a breath of relief .
At the entrance , Kate .
Anna , and Marilyn had been waiting .
The moment they spotted Lauren , the three elderly women rushed toward her like anxious hens welcoming their precious chick home .
But as soon as they saw her pale complexion , their hearts clenched in unison .
What happened ? Kates voice was laced with concern .
Are you feeling unwell ? Marilyn stepped forward , placing a hand on Laurens forehead .
Anna , equally worried , examined her closely .
You look terrible .
Lauren was deeply touched by their genuine concern .

Ms.
Bennett was startled by the accident on the way here .
The three women gasped , their faces instantly paling .
A car accident ! Kate grabbed Lausens hands , looking her over anxiously .
Are you hurt ? Let me see.

Finished Josh stood in the study , reporting to Felix , who sat behind his desk , one long leg crossed over the other .
His slender fingers tappeil rhythmically against the polished wood , filling the room with soft , deliberate clicks .
One of the people involved in the accident turned out to be her childhood friend , Lucas Reed .
Josh continued .
The police have taken him in .

Max penalty .
His deep voice carried a chilling finality Josh nodded .
Understood .
If theres nothing else , Ill take care of it now , Felix waved a hand dismissively .
Just as Josh reached the door , Felixs voice stopped him .
Josh turned , puzzled .
Felixs mind drifted back to the five years Lauren had spent in prison because of Lucas , She had lost her freedom , her health … and a part of herself , a broken leg , a kidney .
A simple fine and brief detention ? That was far too lenient .
Josh , noticing his bosss darkening expression , hesitated Mr.
Brooker … any further instructions ? Felixs voice was soft , yet ice cold .
Make sure hes well taken care of inside .
His tone carried an unmistakable warning .
I dont want him walking out of there unscathed .
Joshs pupils shrank slightly , instantly understanding .
Boss is avenging his future wife .
It was just the beginning of his pursuit , and he was already this protective .
Josh could only imagine how fiercely Mr.
Brooker would shield Ms.
Bennett once she became his wife .
Excitement flickered across his face .
When Ms.
Bennett finds out about this , shes g to be absolately touched .
Consider it done , sir .
With that , Josh exited the study .
Felix pulled out a cigarette , lighting it with practiced ease .
He brought it to his line inhaling deenly .
