Chapter 47 Storage Room At the end of the hallway was the storage room ; Laurens room .
Could it be ….
A suspicion crept into Willows mind , and a surge of hatred welled up inside her .
Lauren , you slut .
You actually dare to seduce Kenneth right under my nose ? Looks like I havent taught you a good enough lesson yet .
Even as these thoughts filled her mind .
Willows face remained bright with a smile .
Kenneth , where did you go ? Kenneths response was dismissive .
Just taking a walk .
Its getting late .
I should head out .
His expression was as composed as ever .
Willow looked reluctant , Stay and have lunch before you go .
No need .
Without that , Kenneth turned and left .
Willows gaze followed his figure until he disappeared completely from sight .
Then , she turned toward the tightly shut door at the end of the hallway , her eyes narrowing as jealousy filled her heart .
She turned and beamed at Alice .
Mom , its almost time for lunch .
Ill go upstairs and call Lauren Alice nodded in approval as she watched Willow happily dash upstairs , her eyes filled with motherly affection But Willows real intention wasnt to call Lauren down for lunch ; it was to check if Lauren was in Elliots bedroom .
And sure enough , when she pushed open the door , Lauren was nowhere to be found .
Looking at the lavish , princess themed decor , Willow gritted her teeth .
Ever since Lauren was hospitalized , Elliot had immediately hired people to renovate the room .
She had underestimated Lauren .
In just a few short days after returning home , she had already stolen his attention .
A cruel glint flashed in Willows eyes .
If Lauren wasnt in the bedroom , then she had to be in the storage room .
The mere thought of Lauren and Kenneth being in that tiny space together lit a fire of hatred so intense it nearly consumed her sanity .
Elliots love belonged to her .
Kenneth also belonged to her .
Lauren , you shameless thing .
How dare you lay claim to what isnt yours ? You deserve to die .
Her hatred for Lauren deepened , and in that instant , she had already come up with a plan .
She hurried downstairs .
Alice asked after noticing she was alone , Willow , wheres Lauren ? Willow looked disappointed .
She wasnt in Elliots bedroom .
She must have gone back to her own room .
Alices expression stiffened .
She already knew Lauren was staying in the storage room .
The moment Elliot had taken her there .
Alices heart had ached so much it felt like it might stop beating .
She couldnt fathom how Lauren had endured three whole years in that dark and damp space without a window .
So when Elliot decided to renovate his own bedroom into a princess themed room as a surprise for Lauren , Alice wholeheartedly supported it , hoping it would ease the tension between them .
But from the moment Lauren woke up until now , there had been no gratitude or emotion .
Fine , she could accept that .
But now Lauren had gone back to the storage room , as if purposely rubbing salt into her wounds .
Alice looked both heartbroken and frustrated .
She was upset that Laurens actions were so cold and resentful .
Just as she was about to get up and go to the storage room herself , Willow stopped her .
Mom , let me go instead .
Lauren and I are the same age so itll be easier for me to talk to her .
Alice sank back into the couch .
Willow was right .
Lauren was just a junior .
Was she , as the elder , supposed to humble herself and go begging ? Absolutely outrageous .
With that thought , Alice gestured for Willow to call Lauren .
The moment Willow turned away , her face turned into something sinister .
She walked up to the storage room door , and without bothering to knock , she pushed it open .
1/2 Chapter 47 Storage Room Laurens eyes snapped open , her gaze cold as she said .
Get out .
Finished Willow let out a laugh , as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world .
Youre telling me to get out ! Do you even have the right to say that ? She crossed her arms over her chest , looking down at Lauren with nothing but contempt .
Dont think you can act all high and mighty just because youre Mom and Dads biological daughter , Open your eyes and see for yourself ! Who do they truly care about ? So what if youre the real heiress ? Youre still just an unloved nobody Tilting her chin up arrogantly , she sneered .
Let me warn you ! Kenneth is my man .
Someone like you has no business eyeing him Lauren remained calm .
She slowly sat up and stood face to face with Willow Your man ! Then why cant you even keep an eye on him ? If you could , would Kenneth have chased me all the way to the storage room and refused to let me marry the guy from the Brooker family ? Send Gifts
