    Chapter 379 No Forgiveness, No Redemption.


    After Lauren finished speaking, she turned around without a moment''s hesitation.


    "No-!" Alice screamed, grabbing hold of her. "You''re my daughter! I carried you for ten months-you can''t treat me like


    this!


    Lauren looked back, her eyes brimming with scorn.


    Alice met that mocking gaze and instantly lowered her head in shame.


    She had no right to say Lauren couldn''t treat her this way. After all, in their previous life, she had shown Lauren no mercy as her mother.


    She had poured all her love into that wretched Willow, while Lauren hadn''t even been treated as well as the servants in the Bet family.


    "Let go" Lauren''s voice was cold.


    Still, Alice clung to her, clinging to herst bit of desperation. "I won''t."


    That''s when Victor charged over and bit down hard on Alice''s hand-the one gripping Lauren.


    Alice yelped in pain and instinctively let go.


    Victor grabbed Lauren''s hand and pulled her back toward Mr. Timely and Madam Shirley.


    Mr. Timely scooped Lauren up in one arm and wrapped his other around the tearful Madam Shirley. His voice was icy as he ordered, "Get those two lunatics out of here."


    At once, the bodyguards stepped forward and dragged David and Alice out.


    Alice kept screaming the whole way, but no one paid her any attention. The banquet hall fell into a dead silence.


    Mr. Timely''s sharp gaze swept across the room, lingering especially long on those who had whispered support for Alice earlier those who had swayed with the wind and sided with whoever seemed the weakest at the time. His look was so cold it seemed to freeze them in ce.


    Feeling the pressure of Mr. Timely''s unyielding aura, the guilty ones lowered their heads, filled with dread, silently praying that he''d be magnanimous enough to let it go.


    They hadn''t meant any harm. They''d just been moved by sympathy for a mother.


    But even if they hadn''t meant harm, they had spoken rashly without understanding the full situation. As adults, they should''ve had better judgment. That kind of gullibility-falling for Alice''s words so easily-made them unfit to work with the Mavis family.


    Coborating with such people would only drag the Mavis family down


    Mr. Timely''s expression didn''t change, but his next words hit like a hammer,


    to leave."


    "Anyone who felt sympathy for that woman-feel free to


    The stunned guests lifted their heads, eyes wide in disbelief.


    Just because of a fewments, he''s kicking an out?


    This was a public p in th

    Was he really cutting ties with them?

    Chapter 379 No Forgiveness. No Redemption


    But with those fools people gone, the atmosphere finally quieted, and the celebration resument.


    Though the chaos mused by Alice and David had interrupted things, everything proceeded smoothly afterward.


    As for Alice and Dunnd-


    After being thrown out they kept banging on the Mavis family''s vi gates.


    But no one came out. No one even acknowledged them.


    Alice turned toward David eyes filled with hatred so intense it was practically tangible.


    David, catching her murders re, stumbled back in fear.


    "Baby, listen, I can exin-


    "Exin? You abandoned my daughter at an orphanage! What exnation could possibly justify that?"


    -5 Pearls


    "Oh. I get it now. This was all about bringing your bastard child into our home. You let me raise your illegitimate daughter like a fool while you sat back and wanted. You must ve felt real smug, huh? David, this is all your fault. Everything- everything-is because of you"


    Alice flew at him like a madwoman her sharp nails wing at his head and face. Blood streamed down David''s cheeks.. making him look utterly pitiful. "You crazy b*tch! Get off me!"


    "Crazy b*tch? Hahaha, yeah. I''m a crazy brich I''ve been crazy for a long time!" She''d gone mad the moment she lost Lauren in their past life


    Alice''s strength in that moment was terrifying-even Duvad couldn''t fight her off,


    She pinned him down and pummeled him, again mod


    With every blow, her mind shed back to Lauren a suffering thest life.


    She''d refused to give her own daughter a single penny-


    med Wow''s allowance to a million.


    When Willow pushed ine down the stairs, turning her into a vegetablice had personally deleted the security footage to protect her.


    When Willow repeatedly provoked Lauren, their entire family had responded with


    beatings and scoldings, until Lauren had been so desperate that she''d cut off one of her own fingers just to break tits with them
