She turned to Andy .
Andy , call Mr.
Brooker .
Have him come here immediately .
Andys expression turned serious as he reached for his phone .
Only for Kenneth to snatch it away .
No ! Kenneth shouted , his forehead furrowed in panic Felix had no way of knowing .
Not until Id come up with a solution .
If this got out now , any chance of securing Eastgate Lands project would be ruined .
Andy lunged for the phone , and the two men struggled Until a womans sharp voice cut through the chaos , Willow ! The banquet is starting .
What are you still doing here ? Willow looked up to see Casey gliding toward them , followed by a crowd of society women .

Her face instantly darkened .
So this is the little bitch Ive been looking for .
Lauren froze , stunned by the venom in the womans tone .
Before she could ask if there was a mistake , Casey announced to her entourage .

Click clack .
The staccato rhythm of high heels on marble echoed like angry drumbeats as Casey advanced .

They scoffed at Andys threat .
Bankrupt us ? You pathetic little A whore and her faggot bodyguard .
How fitting .
The vulgarities grew cruder .
Through it all , Kenneth watched in cold silence .
He knew the truth .
Lauren had just been released from prison .
Between the Bennett family and the hospital , she hadnt had the opportunity , let alone the inclination , to seduce anyone .
He knew her personalities better than that .
Still , he said nothing .
