Chapter 147 Her Pain , His Revenge +8 Pearls Laurens mind was still caught up in everything when she suddenly realized Felix had already eased her down onto the bed .
Laurens eyes went wide .
M Mr .
Brooker … this isnt okay , Im not … Im not ready … Felix just pulled the blanket up to cover her .
Oh ? What is it you need to be ready for ? Her cheeks flushed deep red .
She quickly turned her head .
N nothing Felix gave a soft laugh .
Its still early .
Get some rest first .
Well head over after youve had a break .
Lauren didnt know exactly what Felix had planned , but based on how hed acted in the banquet hall , it was clear he wasnt letting this go .
She looked at him , genuinely thankful .
Thank you , Mr.
Brooker .
Felix gently placed his big hand over her eyes .
Sleep His voice was steady and calm , and under his touch , Lauren slowly relaxed into sleep .
Felix stayed quietly by her side .
As he watched her breathing settle into a steady rhythm , the soft smile on his face disappeared without a trace .
Minute by minute , time dragged on .
The people trapped inside the banquet hall had been sitting in fear and unease for more than three hours .
The mood was suffocating , like the heavy stillness right before a thunderstorm crashes down .
Everyone was stuck in a swirl of dread , wondering just how Felix planned to deal with them As time passed , their fear slowly gave way to hopelessness .
They started blaming each other .
The noise grew louder as arguments broke out across the room .
The entire banquet hall turned into a mess .
Finally , the doors opened with a slow creak .
Felix walked in with Lauren right beside him .
Lauren was wearing a pale blue dress .
Her hair rested softly on her shoulders , and the redness in her face had faded .
She looked fresh , calm , and quietly stunning .
Felixs eyes scanned the crowd like a blade , one face at a time , until he landed on Willow , He remembered her grabbing Laurens hair and refusing to let go .
His voice dropped low , icy .
Ms.
Willows hair is a little our of place .
Willow froze .
She thought just for a second that Felix was showing her concern .
A rush of giddy hope filled her chest , and her face turned red .
But the next thing Felix said hit like a thunderclap .
Shave her head .
He didnt have to raise his voice .
In that tense silence , every word hit like a hammer .
Every woman in the room froze , eyes wide with horror .
Only a woman truly understood what her hair meant .
It took years to grow out long , healthy hair and just as many years of care to keep it that way .
Getting your head shaved didnt cause physical pain but the emotional blow was brutal .
No ! Dont ! Willow screamed , her voice raw with fear .
1/2 Chapter 147 Her Pain , His Revenge O A group of bodyguards moved in fast .
They grabbed her arms and dragged her from the crowd without hesitation .
Her face was pale with panic .
She kicked and flailed , trying to fight them off .
+8 Pearls My dad is the chairman of Bennett Corporation ! You cant do this to me ! she shrieked .
Her voice rang through the hall .
sharp and desperate The bodyguards didnt budge .
Their grips were like steel .
They twisted her arms behind her and forced her down hard , making her kneel at Laurens feet .
Willow threw her head up and locked eyes with Lauren .
Lauren looked down at her , calm and distant , her expression unreadable ..
In that moment .
Willow felt small .
Like a bug something worthless bring crushed under someones heet.
Scenes from the past rushed through her mind all the times she had bullied Lauren , insulted her , treated her like garbage .
She had always acted superior , like Lauren didnt deserve basic respect .
But now ? Everything had flipped .
The power , the control it had all shifted They werent just on equal ground now , Lauren stood above her .
And Willow was the one on her knees .
Willow fought back the flood of shame rising inside her and tried to pull off a fragile , helpless act Tears formed almost instantly in her eyes , glassy and bright .
Her voice shook as she looked at Lauren .
Laurie , why are you letting Mr.
Brooker do this to me The tears slipped down her pale face , one after another , like a broken string of pearls .
She looked like a delicate flower tossed around in a storm on the verge of falling apart .
Anyone looking might have felt sorry for her .
But Lauren just stood there , calm and still , her eyes sharp and icy with a hint of mockery .
When Willow saw that Lauren wasnt moved at all , anger flared deep inside her .
She quickly turned her tear filled gaze toward Felix , pleading hoping that looking weak and heartbroken would sway him instead .
But what she didnt realize was Felixs heart was cold as stone .
Her weeping , her trembling , her carefully crafted helpless act -none of it moved him .
To him , it was nothing more than a ridiculous performance .
Not even worth a second thought .
