The Heiress Revived from the Ashes Chapter 71 The Breaking Point The hero in her words had changed to What kind of person are you ? Finished Lucas stared at Lauren as if he were seeing her for the first time , his eyes filled with shock and unfamiliarity .
Laurie , how did you become so unreasonable ? Five years in prison , and you still havent realized that beating people is illegal ?? He seemed to be trying to use the law to suppress her , but there was a slight tremor in his voice .
Is that so ? Lauren raised her chin defiantly , unafraid .
Then , Mr.
Lucas , go ahead and sue me .
Laurens unyielding attitude made Lucas feel like he was beating cotton ; all his anger and accusations were effortlessly deflected by her calm demeanor .
The frustration of not being able to vent his emotions was unbearable .
Seeing Lucas get hit , Willows eyes immediately filled with tears .
Luca , are you okay ? Without waiting for his answer , she turned her anger towards Lauren .
Laurie , its okay for you to hit me , but why did you hit Lucas as well ? Do you know how worried he was when he heard that you were injured ? Thats why he came with me to visit you .
Is this how you treat someone who cares about you ? Her tears shone in her eyes , and her pitiful expression made it seem as if she was the victim of injustice , while Lauren was the unreasonable villain .
Lauren was disgusted by Willows fake concern .
The exaggerated act made her stomach churn .
I know exactly what Willow was up to , which is using Lucas to deal with me .
In the past , being misunderstood by my childhood friend would have broken my heart .
But now , Lucas meant nothing to me.
Lauren raised her hand and pretended to strike again .
Willows face immediately turned pale , shrinking back and hiding behind Lucas , only daring to peek out with a shy expression .
Laurie , you are really going too far , she muttered softly .
But her eyes gleam with glee .
Enough ! Lucas grabbed Laurens wrist , his grip tightening unconsciously .
His eyes burned with suppressed anger .
If you want to act out , at least have some boundaries .
No one has to put up with your bad temper .
If you keep hitting people , dont blame me for … Thwack ! Laurens other hand slapped Lucass face again , cutting off his lecture with a crisp sound .
Lucas was stunned , his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Lauren .
It took him a moment to recover , his teeth clenched as he roared , Lauren ! Thwack ! Another slap landed , this one even harder than the last , forcing Lucass head to the side .
1/2 51 % 2 Chapter 71 The Breaking Point Finished Three consecutive slaps left Lucass once fair face redd marked with clear fingerprints .
The image of the once graceful and composed man was completely shattered .
Lauren met his gaze without flinching , her eyes showing no trace of fear .
The more I had trusted him in the past , the more I despised his now .
The beautiful memories in the past had turned to ash under his repeated betrayal and hurt .
All that remained was endless hatred .
I told you , what kind of person are you ? What right have you , an outsider , to interfere in our family affairs ? Even if I am not favored , I am still Willows sister in name .
As her sister , its my right to discipline her .
Mr.
Lucas , your reach is a bit too long .
Lucass lips trembled slightly , his eyes filled with grief and a sense of loss , as if something precious had been taken away from him .
After a long pause , he finally managed to utter a lamenting sentence .
Laurie , you hit me .
His voice was filled with endless despair .
We had grown up together and shared fifteen years of memories .
I had stood up for her when other children bullied her , she had shared her food with me when I was sick .
Those moments of laughter and play in the orphanage , those times of sharing and warmth , had that all vanished like smoke ? Could she really be so ruthless as to cut me off without a second thought ? Did she really not care about me at all ? Wasnt I her Lucas ? How could I be an outsider ? I didnt want to be an outsider to her .
We were supposed to be next of kin But Lauren just looked at him coldly , her expression blank .
Her gaze was like two icy swords that cut right through Lucas .
To her , Lucass question was absurd .
He couldnt handle a few slaps ! Then how did he treat me ? When I needed him the most , he had sent me to prison without hesitation , all for Willow .
