    Chapter 148 No Mercy for Willow


    All Felix sand was one word. "Do it"


    The moment the clippers buzzed to life, Willow felt a cold shock run straight through her skull and down her spine, like someone had poured ice water into her soul.


    Her whole body trembled violently. A choked scream ripped out of her. "No! Stop, please!"


    Her long, sleek ck hair-her pride and joy-was shaved off piece by piece. The strands floated to the ground in soft, broken waves, scattered across the cold marble floor.


    She lost itpletely, thrashing like she was possessed. Her arms and legs iled in every direction, trying to break free.


    Then the de slipped


    It nicked her scalp, and a slow line of blood slid down her check, a shocking streak of red across pale skin.


    She let out a scream that shattered the room, raw and piercing, echoing into every corner of the hall.


    People froze, stutined into silence. Their faces turned ghost-white.


    And the women who''d once helped torment Lauren-they looked like their souls had left their bodies. Legs shaking, faces drained, they could already see their own punishmenting


    Having your head shaved was already a nightmare for any woman.


    But this? A bleeding scalp. A damaged hairline that might never grow back.


    For women who treated their beauty like it was life itself this wasn''t just harsh. It was devastating. Crueler than death.


    Casey saw everything and wentpletely limp. Her legs buckled, and she copsed onto the floor like a puppet with its strings cut. Her eyes were empty, staring into nothing, as if her soul had already left and only a shell was left behind.


    Keh, watching Willow go through that level of cruelty, snapped. He looked like a lit fuse ready to blow.


    He bolted forward, running straight at them, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Stop! Stop right now!"


    But he didn''t get far-Josh stepped in andnded a hard kick to his chest.


    Keh flew backward and crashed onto the ground


    Before he could recover, two guards had him pinned, forcing him t against the floor.


    He struggled with everything he had, roaring, "Felix, you seriously did this to Willow? I''m not letting this go


    His face was red, veins bulging, eyes full of bloodshot fury. But to Felix, it was meaningless noise. Felix didn''t even nce his


    way.


    When that didn''t work, Keh turned to Lauren instead


    "Lauren, she''s your sister! You''re just gonna watch while they humiliate her? What''s wrong with you? Are you even human?"


    Lauren let out a short, sharpugh. She didn''t bite at his usation-instead, she hit him where it hurt. "It''s been over a month. ine should be able to talk by now. So tell me-did she never name the real attacker, or did you just never give the chance to


    Keh''s face went bone-white.


    e her


    The truth was, he had sent ine overseas for one reason-he didn''t want to hear what she had to say. Hecause if she never spoke it, then maybe he could pretend he hadn''t done anything wrong. That he hadn''t betrayed Lauren. That everything he''d done had been justified.


    He didn''t want to go there. So he switched tactics. "I''m your fiance and you''re all over some other guy. You''ve got no self-respect. Lauren, tell them to stop right now or I''ll never forgive you."

    Lauren just looked at him, expression calm and unreadable.

    on a sad.


    His insults, his shouting-none of it mattered anymore. He looked ridiculous to her now. Like a clown putting on a messy performance. All she felt was pity. Maybe even a little amusement


    Felix''s brows pulled together. His voice was cold and t. Too loud"


    Josh didn''t need any more direction. He ripped off his sock and shoved it into Keh''s mouth without blinking.


    Keh''s eyes bulged wide with shock.


    He twisted and thrashed, trying to break free from the guards holding him down, but it was pointless


    He struggled to spit out the disgusting, sweaty sock stuffed in his mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, it stayed lodged there


    The stench was overwhelming. It filled his mouth and made him gag, nearly throwing up.


    All he could do was let out muffled groans, forced to watch as Willow''s hair was shaved off bit by bit


    Willow was now slumped on the ground,pletely still, her eyes vacant,


    The banquet hall had gone dead silent. The air was thick and heavy with dread.


    Felix''s eyes shifted again-slow, cold-andnded on the four wealthy women who had helped Casey beat Lauren


    His stare was sharp and unforgiving, like a st of icy wind. The moment his gazended on them, the women and their husbands started to shake all over.


    "Mr. Brooker, we didn''t know she was yours. If we''d known, we never would''ve


    touched her.” one of them said quickly, her voice trembling. Her eyes were wide with panic, her tone desperate and pleading
