The Heiress Revived from the Ashes Chapter 189 A Mothers Collapse 63 % Finished The once meticulously dressed and elegant lady was nowhere to be seen .
At this moment , she was like a flower that had lost its moisture , wilted and dull .
Alice had learned from Michael that both Elliot and Willow were in prison .
Desperate to save them , she was trapped by her own injuries , confined to the hospital bed .
When Lauren entered , hatred blazed in Alices eyes .
Her leg was broken because of Lauren , her children were jailed because of her .
She wanted to tear Lauren apart .
Thrashing on the bed , she screamed , How could I give birth to such a vicious creature ? If anything happens to Elliot or Willow , Ill drag you to hell with me ! Lauren stood just out of reach , her expression calm as a still pond .
Shed grown used to her mothers venom .
She watched , unmoved , as Alice ranted and raved .
She had time .
She could wait .
After an hour , Alice collapsed , exhausted .
Only then did Lauren smile , a cold , mocking curve of her lips .
Madam Alice , I have something fascinating for you to see .
She placed the documents on the bed .
Without thinking , Alice grabbed them , ready to tear them apart .
But Laurens voice stopped her .
Are you sure you dont want to look ? Its full of your familys dirty little secrets .
Secrets ? Alice glared , but curiosity won .
She glanced down .
Moments later , she shrieked , Impossible ! You forged this , you vile witch ! Youre trying to drive a wedge between me and David ! She shook her head violently , as if to banish the words .
But tears betrayed her , streaming down her face .
Her body trembled , shock and pain overwhelming her .
No … it cant be .
David loves me , he wouldnt do this … Her voice quavered , hands shaking as the papers slipped from her grasp .
Her defenses crumbled , but she clung to denial .
Shed always believed her family was perfect , her husband devoted , her children her pride .
Now , it was all a lie , a web spun by David .
The coincidences were too many , Lauren lost the day she was born , her father dead three days later , the Pierce Group swiftly renamed under Davids control .
Shed been too grief stricken to question it then , clinging to David as her lifeline , blinding herself to the truth .
