Chapter 87 A Desperate Struggle


    Lauren ignored the stinging pain on her face, her focus entirely on ine.


    Finished


    ine, newly awake from a vegetative state, was frail. When Lauren''s body


    crashed into her, she fainted instantly.


    "ine! ine!" Lauren''s voice shook as she called our tears streaming down her face.


    “ine, wake up, please. Just hold on a little longer."


    Lauren thought to herself, if ine couldn''t pin the crime on Willow today, getting


    a confessionter would be nearly impossible.


    David, Alice, Elliot, Willow, even Lucas and Sharon, all seemed relieved that ine was unconscious.


    Keh rushed over, shoving Lauren aside and calling anxiously, "ine, what''s wrong? Don''t scare me!"


    But no matter how he pleaded, ine didn''t stir.


    His heart ached as he red at Lauren. This is your fault. If you hadn''t kept causing trouble, ine wouldn''t have fainted. If anything happens to her, I won''t


    let it go."


    He scooped up ine and snapped at Sharon and doctor, "What are you standing there for? Save my


    sister!"


    A flicker of satisfaction crossed Sharon''s eyes as she hurriedly ushered the doctor and Keh out.


    Lauren tried to follow, but David blocked her. "You troublemaker, get home now!"


    With Willow''s exposure imminent, everyone was obstructing her. A wave of dizziness hit Lauren, despair overwhelming her.


    She threw her head back andughed, the sound echoing through the room, tinged with misery and madness. "You''ve all wronged me, every one of you."


    David, startled by her outburst, red with anger. He kicked her to the ground, raising his fist to strike.


    Madam Kate, Anna, and Marilyn rushed forward to restrain him. Having witnessed everything, Madam Kate understood Lauren''s suffering and was heartbroken, appalled by the Bet family''s cruelty.


    "What kind of parents are you? Neglecting your own daughter to protect a wicked-adopted child, have you no heart?"


    "Old hag, my family affairs are none of your business. Get lost!" David shoved the three women aside.


    He aimed his fist at Lauren again. Throughout, Alice, Elliot, and Lucas watched, none intervening.


    As the punch neared, suddenly, a pig-like squeal erupted from David.


    Lauren had seized a fruit knife and plunged it into his arm, the bloodied tip piercing through.


    All her fury from five years of injustice, misunderstandings, pain, betrayal, burst forth.

    Finished


    She yanked out the knife, blood spraying across her face. Like a demon unleashed, she lunged again, aiming for his heart.


    Her eyes burned with lethal intent. Fear gripped David memories of her previous attempt shing back. This time, her resolve was even fiercer, chilling him to the


    core.


    Shock and terror dted his pupils, his legs heavy as lead. As the knife neared his heart, Alice shoved him aside. The de sank into his shoulder instead.


    His agonized scream filled the room..


    Lauren pulled the knife free without hesitation. Her eyes held no mercy, only hatred, as she targeted his


    stomach.


    Terrified as ever, with the pain on the shoulder, David begged, “Lauric, I was wrong this time. Please don''t kill me!"


    But Lauren was deaf to his pleas, her knife plunging forward. Each of the three stabs carried years of resentment, her gaze unyielding, she''d vowed to take his


    life.
