Chapter 84 The Truth Unveiled Marilyn , seeing Willows struggle , also stepped in to help Lauren restraiti her .
* Finished Next , Lauren asked Elaine in a firm , clear voice , Five years ago , during Willows graduation banquet at the Bennett Residence , was it me who pushed you down the stairs ? Elaines look at Lauren was filled with guilt .
Without hesitation , she blinked twice .
Kenneth , who was standing nearby , felt as if he had been struck by lightning .
No ? It really wasnt Laurent All this time , I had been convinced that Lauren had harmed Elaine .
I had hated her to the core , even going so far as to use any means to ensure that she suffered in prison .
But now , Elaines reaction was like a sledgehammer, shattering the beliefs he had held for the past five years .
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists .
If Lauren really hadnt harmed Elaine , then what was the point of his five years of relentless revenge against her ? Elliots eyes widened as he stared at Elaine , unable to believe what he was seeing .
As Laurens biological brother , I had always favored Willow , Jurned a deaf ear to Laurens complaints , and even kicked her when she was down .
Back then , I had been a key witness , confidently pointing the finger at Lauren in court .
Now , he felt like the world was spinning .
His legs became weak , and he almost collapsed .
Lucass face was a mixture of shock and panic .
As a lawyer , he was supposed to seek the truth and uphold justice .
wever , when it came to Willow , he had repeatedly lost his mind, blindly defended her , and even tried to convince Lauren to take the blame .
Back then , he had refused to believe that the kind and innocent Willow could be the culprit .
Since the Bennett family insisted that Lauren had framed Willow , he had accepted their story .
Only now did he realize that what he had believed all along was wrong .
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead , his eyes darting around uncomfortably .
Lauren took in their expression .
She had thought that seeing them so shaken would bring her satisfaction , but it didnt .
Her heart only became more bitter .
Even if her name was cleared , the bloody five years she had endured could never be erased from her memory .
The pain she had suffered would haunt her for the rest of her life .
I hated and despised them and loathed them ! 1/2 Chapter 84 The Truth Unveiled IfI had to suffer , they would suffer with me .
No one would esepe unscathed .
Finished Lauren turned back to Elaine and asked , Elaine , tell them .
Was it Willow who pushed you down the stairs ? The question made Elliot , Lucas , and Kenneth hold their breath .
Suddenly , they didnt want to know the answer .
If the answer was confirmed , everything they believed would crumble .
The consequences they would face would be terrifying , something they couldnt bear , Elliot suddenly interrupted , Laurie , Elaine has just woken up .
Shes still very weak .
Let her rest .
Ill take you home .
As he spoke , he reached out to grab Lauren , but she dodged him .
Lucas tried to smooth things over with a forced smile , not even daring to meet Laurens eyes .
Laurie , your brother is right .
There are too many of us here , and were disturbing Mr.
Kenneths sister .
Lets talk about this later , okay ? Laurens expression was icy .
Scared ? Are you so afraid of the truth ? Or are you afraid that the kind , innocent person youve been defending is actually a complete monster ? Cant you accept that youve been played for fools ? The two men gritted their teeth , no longer having the courage to lecture Lauren .
There was even a hint of pleading in their glances at her .
Huh ! Lauren sneered , then turned to Kenneth .
Her gaze was like an arrow , piercing and sharp .
Even without words , Kenneth understood her meaning .
Kenneth , even you , her own brother , dont want to know the truth ? Kenneths face turned pale , his eyes filled with struggle and pain .
On the one hand , he was afraid to hear the answer he didnt want to accept , afraid to face the unforgivable mistakes he had made over the past five years .
On the other hand , as Elaines brother , he desperately wanted to know the truth and seek justice for his sister .
These conflicting emotions clashed violently within hirn , leaving him torn .
