The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Karma Comes for Willow and Kenneth

Finished

Kyle’s lips kept trembling, but no sound came out. He looked completely broken, like whatever he’d been through had shattered him inside. His mind was gone, wrecked beyond recognition.

Felix walked toward them slowly, calm and collected, his steps graceful.

He glanced down at Casey and Kyle lying on the floor and spoke in a light, almost breezy tone. “Looks like there was a fight between husband and wife. Madam Casey tried to hurt herself to punish Mr. Kyle. Good thing my people stepped in when they did. Who knows how bad it could’ve gotten.”

His voice was casual, like he was making polite small talk. There was even a faint smile on his face–but it was cold. Completely empty. The kind of smile that sent a chill down your spine.

Everyone in the banquet hall stared at Felix in stunned silence

They knew exactly what had happened. But none of them had actually seen it. And without proof, no one could say a word.

People had always said Felix was dangerous–but now that they’d seen it for themselves, they realized those stories didn’t even scratch the surface.

In the back of every mind, one thought took hold loud and clear–never mess with this man

Felix raised his head just slightly. His icy gaze swept across the banquet hall like a blade, sharp enough to cut

In a heartbeat, everyone dropped their heads, silent and afraid. No one dared to meet his eyes–like just locking eyes with him might get them caught up in something they’d never escape.

Right then and there, the message was loud and clear–Felix, the man who ruled the Brooker family from the top, was not someone you crossed. Ever.

His face stayed calm, unreadable. He gave a small wave of his hand and spoke with a quiet authority that left no room for argument. “Take them back to Balewood.

The bodyguards moved at once. Without ceremony, they hauled Casey and Kyle away like they were dragging dead weight.

Casey’s limp body slid along the floor, leaving behind a trad of blood that made everyone’s stomach turn.

Kyle’s eyes were vacant. He didn’t fight, didn’t react. He was like a shell of a person. The two of them vanished slowly out of sight

Silence fell over the banquet hall like a heavy curtain.

And then, like their heads were pulled by strings, every guest turned to look at Willow and Kenneth–still kneeling, still pinned to the floor by guards.

Willow might’ve gotten off the easiest–her punishment was just having her head shaved–but right now, the fear inside her was crashing down like waves in a storm, one after the other, threatening to completely swallow her.

Her heart was pounding like it was about to explode, and every breath she took came with a shaky tremor.

She couldn’t stop thinking about it–Felix had turned her bald just because she messed up Lauren’s hair.

But she’d done worse than that to Lauren. Much worse. Things way more spiteful and cruel

If Felix ever found out

She couldn’t even imagine what kind of horrific punishment she’d face.

The thought alone made her body start trembling, her teeth chattering without control.

And then came the part that made her stomach drop–Kate, the guest of honor at today’s banquet, turned out to be the same elderly woman who had helped Lauren at the hospital that day.

That realization felt like someone had stabbed her right in the heart. Whatever hope she had left evaporated, replaced by

Chapter 153 Karma Comes for Willow and Kenneth

She didn’t dare look up at Felix. She was terrified she’d meet his eyes and see the end coming.

Finished

Chopped fingers… stripped down shattered limbs, broken teeth… Scene after scene played out in her head like a nightmare reel. Every one of them made her blood run cold.

All she could do now was pray like crazy that she wouldn’t be next.
