The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Securing a Future

Mia really cared for her, and Lauren could feel it.

During those five years in prison, not a single member of the Bennett family had visited her.

Only Marilyn and Mia had taken the time to visit her, allowing her to still feel some warmth in the world.

They were good people, so she had to protect them at all costs.

Lauren smiled at Mia, I will listen to you. Mia”

“Really?” A flash of surprise appeared in Mia’s eyes,

Yes, really” Lauren nodded.

But before I left the Bennett family I had to ensure a safe way for Marilyn and Mia. I couldn’t let Elliot use them as a bargaining chip against me again.

Thinking about this, Lauren changed the conversation’s subject and asked about Mia’s school life.

“Mia, how are your studies going?”

“Not bad. I get a scholarship every semester”

Seeing her confidence, Lauren felt relieved. “Mia, have you ever thought about studying abroad?”

If the Bennett family refused to let me go, I would fight them to the end and leave all the money to Marilyn and Mia.

That was why she had demanded 14 million dollars from Alice.

My life had been hard enough. I couldn’t let those who cared for me suffer the same fate.

For the next two days, Lauren’s life was peaceful.

The morning after finishing her morning routine, Willow went downstairs for breakfast but was surprised to find that David, Alice, and Elliot were nowhere to be seen.

I knew that Dad and Elliot had been extremely busy lately with the Eastgate project, leaving early and returning late every day.

But it was unusual for Mom to leave so early.
