Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1673

By now, Lauren had already been dragged in front of Liliana.

"Didn't expect this, did you, bitch?" Liliana sneered.

The moment they locked eyes, she was practically glowing with smug satisfaction.

Lauren stared at her, surprised. "Ms. Peck, I honestly don't get it. Why are you doing this?"

Liliana crossed her arms and glared at Lauren condescendingly. "Why? Obviously, I did it for Joe! I really can't understand what Joe saw in someone as trashy as you!"

Lauren's expression darkened. "Liliana, watch your mouth. As far as I know, there's never been any bad blood between us. If this is about Joe, you should take it up with him. Abducting me like this? It's pathetic."

Liliana's face twisted in rage, and she slapped Lauren hard. "You bitch! How dare you mock me! Now that you're in my hands, who gave you the confidence to keep mouthing off like that?"

The slap left a fiery red mark across Lauren's cheek, but she did not lash out. Instead, she let out a cold, mocking laugh.

"That's it? That's all you've got? Joe wanted me, not you. And now the man you like has been easily defeated by my husband! So, really, you're just a spoiled little heiress from the Peck family who turned out to be nothing."

Liliana's face went crimson with humiliation. She lost all control and screamed, "You filthy whore! I'm gonna tear your mouth apart! And once I'm done with that, I'm going to have a hundred men screw you!"

Then, she lunged forward, screaming like a madwoman.

This was exactly what Lauren had been waiting for. She spun and landed a slap across Liliana's face so fast and hard that it stunned her.

"Y-You dared hit me? You actually hit me? Lauren, you're so dead!"
