Chapter 78 The Final Betrayal


    Her shoulders trembled slightly, her hands hanging helessly at her sides as if all her strength had been drained..


    "Lucas..." Her voice was hoarse, filled with endless grief and sorrow. But before she could finish, her emotions crupted. She screamed at Lucas, "It wasn''t me. But Lucas didn''t believe her.


    Not only did he not believe her, but his eyes looked at her as if she were a madwoman trying to cover up her crimes.


    He let go of her shoulders in disgust.


    The next moment. Lauren was treated even more harshly.


    Arge hand suddenly grabbed her head, forcing her to turn around and look at the lifeless ine on the hospital bed.


    Elliot''s face was filled with rage as he shouted, "We all saw it! How dare you lie? If it wasn''t you, where did. those marks on ine''s necke from? Lauren, how did you be so vicious? ine just regained consciousness, and you couldn''t wait to strangle her to silence her, could you?"


    Elliot''s heart ached..


    How could my own sister be like that?


    I had once been angry about how she had been mistreated in prison.


    But now, it seemed that I had been too naive. Even after being beaten and bullied, Lauren''s evil nature hadn''t changed.


    Perhaps someone like her belonged in a ce as ruthless as prison.


    Every word Elliot spoke was like a sharp knife stabbing into Lauren''s heart.


    Lauren''s body shook violently. She shook her head in desperation. "It wasn''t me;


    it really wasn''t me. It was Willow. She was the one who strangled ine..."


    Her voice became more and more desperate, ending in a near scream.


    But Keh, Lucas, and Elliot still looked at her with anger.


    "You''re just as stubborn as you were five years ago."


    "Five years ago, you pushed ine down the stairs and framed ine. Now, five yearster, you are trying to strangle ine and frame ine again. Using the same trick twice. Do you think we''re fools?"


    "Lauren, someone as evil as you really deserves to die."


    The three of them condemned Lauren one after the other.


    Just like five years ago, no matter how much she exined or cried, no one believed in her innocence.


    This time, Lauren felt like the world was spinning.


    Chapter 78 The Final Betrayal


    Finished


    Back then, it had been the same. My brother, my childhood fend, and my so- called fiance had all stood together, condemning me with their words and wishing they could droon me in their spit,


    Five years had passed, and although the time and ce were different, the same people were using me of murder again.


    When Kate saw these men treating her future grandsons wife so roughly and using her of murder, she was furious.


    She stepped forward, pped Elliot''s hand away, and stood in front of Lauren like


    a mother hen protecting her chick. "What is wrong with you guys? using her without even understanding the situation! It was this woman who tried to strangle the patient on the bed!"


    The old woman pointed at Willow,


    Anna and Marilyn also chimed in. "Yes, we all saw it."


    Keh, Lucas, and Elliot all turned to look at Willow,


    "No, it wasn''t me. It was Lauren who strangled ine. I was trying to protect ine, so..." Willow pleaded desperately; her voice choked with tears.


    Willow''s hair was a mess, strands sticking to her tear-stained face, making her look disheveled.


    The scratches on her face from Lauren''s nails stood out against her tearful expression, making her look even more pitiful.


    She sobbed, her body shaking slightly, her voice filled with tears. "It wasn''t me, it really wasn''t. ine is my best friend. How could I hurt her? It was Lauren. She suddenly rushed in and attacked ine. I tried to stop her, but she scratched me."


    As she spoke, she burst into sobs again, and her appearance was enough to make anyone feel sorry for her.


    Keh''s already angry eyes turned even redder. He suddenly turned around, grabbed Lauren''s neck, and mmed her against the wall. "How dare you lie!"


    Lauren felt as if her back had been struck by lightning, the pain spreading through her body instantly.


    Her head was spinning from the impact, and her vision was blurred.


    Her neck was crushed, cutting off her breath, and her face turned blue.


    But she ignored her own pain and struggled to make a weak plea: "Call a doctor... Save her..."
