Chapter 59 The Trap As expected , the Brooker family of Balewood had lived up to their centuries old reputation .
They had casually thrown away .
1.4 billion without blinking an eye .
David and Elliot exchanged a glance , resigned to their fate .
It seemed that the only way to get involved in the Eastgate Project now was through Laurens marriage to Felix .
Elliot took a deep breath , stood up , and straightened his suit , trying to keep his composure .
He walked over to Felix and extended his hand with a friendly smile .
I have long heard of the Brooker familys reputation .
Seeing you in person today , your strength truly lives up to the rumors .
Felix showed no special expression but shook Elliots hand politely .
David suppressed his displeasure and forced a smile , wrinkles creasing his face .
Now that the auction is over , why dont we go to the banquet hall and have a chat ? What do you think , Mr.
Felix ? Felix nodded as a response .
As he left , he glanced at his assistant , Josh , who immediately followed the host to handle the transfer procedures for the Eastgate land .
By the time the group arrived at the banquet hall .
Lauren had also just arrived The driver immediately spotted Willow .
He quickly walked over to her , handed her something , and whispered , Willow , heres what you asked for .
After handing it over , the driver quickly left .
Willow glanced at Lauren , who was surveying the banquet hall .
Willow casually picked up a glass of juice , sprinkled the powder the driver had given her into it , and stirred it well .
Then she called a waiter over .
Please give her this drink , she said , tilting her chin toward Lauren .
The waiter nodded and carried the drink over to Lauren .
Lauren didnt think much of it .
It was normal for waiters to offer drinks at banquets .
Besides , she hadnt eaten all evening and was a little hungry .
So she took the drink and went over to the dessert area , sipping the juice while nibbling on some pastries .
Willow watched as Lauren drank the juice , her eyes filled with malice .
She swung over to Lauren , her hips swaying provocatively .
Look at you , acting like youve never seen good food before .
How embarrassing Lauren was about to take a bite of her cake when she heard Willows grating voice .
Willow , do I need to remind you of your position ? Stay away from me , or Ill smash this cake in your face .
Then well see whos really embarrassed .
Willows face twisted in anger .
She wanted to claw at Laurens seductive , fox like face .
But she hadnt lost her mind yet .
When she remembered the drugged juice that Lauren had just consumed , her mood instantly improved .
You little bitch , enjoy your moment while it lasts .
Lauren sensed that something was wrong .
What do you mean ? Explain yourself Willow mouthed silently .
The juice you just drank was spiked .
Just wait for your downfall 1/2 12:27 PM D Chapter 59 The Trap Laurens pupils contracted .
Finished At the same time , her body began to heat up .
The sensation was sudden and intense , like waves crashing against her last shreds of rationality .
Her cheeks flushed unnaturally red .
Furious , Lauren lunged at Willow , but Lauren easily dodged , crossing her arms and smiling .
You little bitch , youve been so smug lately , havent you ? You think youre going to marry the Brooker family Bossman , Felix ? Lets see if he still wants to marry you after you strip naked in front of everyone .
Ill make sure youre humiliated in front of Hoverdales elite .
Everyone will see what kind of whore you really are .
Hahaha ! Lauren could just feel the room spin around her .
The once glamorous banquet hall lights were now flickering like ghostly apparitions .
rip off her clothes .
The heat made her want to rip She wrapped her arms tightly around herself , her nails digging into her skin , trying to use the pain to gain some clarity .
Her panicked gaze swept the room .
The guests were deep in conversation , oblivious to her plight .
I couldnt lose control in front of all these people .
I had to leave the banquet hall immediately .
Gritting her teeth , Lauren turned and headed for the exit Bur Willow wouldnt let her go .
She grabbed Laurens arm and shouted loudly .
Laurie .
Mom and Dad are over there .
Lets go together .
As she spoke , she pulled Lauren violently .
David , Alice , and Elliot all turned around at the sound of Willows voice When Alice saw Lauren , she quickly called out , Laurie , youre here ! Come over and let me introduce you to Mr.
Felix .
Lauren was frantic .
If I stayed any longer , I would lose control .
