The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 This Is How I Raise My Daughter

“Seriously, not even a shred of manners. I don’t know what kind of parents raised you. If you’re this unreasonable at such a young age, once you grow up and step into society, someone’s bound to teach you a lesson.”

Alice’s words to the children were downright nasty.

What Lauren hated the most was Alice blindly defending Willow without any sense of right or wrong.

It was because Alice always took Willow’s side that Lauren had suffered so much in the Bennett family.

If it were just her being mistreated, fine. But now Alice had the nerve to insult her mother and brother too -Lauren couldn’t take that.

Just as she was about to explode, Madam Shirley suddenly stepped in.

“Let me show you how I raise my children.”

With that, she turned to Lauren and pointed at Willow.

“Sweetheart, was it her who tried to take your dress just now?”

Lauren nodded obediently, not quite sure where this was going.

Madam Shirley said solemnly, “Baby, if someone takes your things, you take them back. If someone bullies you, you hit them back hard. Don’t be afraid. We will always be your strongest support.”

Her face was full of encouragement, showing Lauren with her actions that if something felt right to her, she could go ahead and do it boldly.

Lauren’s eyes welled with emotion.

So this… this is what it feels like to be believed in and supported by a mom? I feel like I could take on the world right

now.

Lauren nodded firmly. “Mom, I understand.”

Then, she turned to face Willow.

You bullied me in the last life, and you’re still trying to bully me in this one?

Then let’s settle both lives‘ scores–right here, right now.

Lauren raised her little hand and, without a word, smacked Willow hard across the face.

Smack.

The crisp sound rang out loud.

Willow was knocked straight to the floor.

Lauren didn’t stop. She climbed on top of Willow and began pounding her face with fists like rain, making Willow wail with each hit.

Chapter 360 This Is How I Raise My Daughter

Alice and Elliot never imagined that Lauren would dare beat Willow right in front of them.

Furious, the two of them moved to stop her.

But Madam Shirley blocked Alice, and Victor stepped in front of Elliot.

Madam Shirley’s smile was cool and sharp. “Let the kids handle their own problems. Or what? Are you thinking of bullying a child as an adult?”

Alice’s face turned red with anger. “Is this how you teach your child?!”

Madam Shirley lifted her chin, the gentle and graceful demeanor gone. She was like a queen–her presence powerful and commanding.

“This is exactly how I raise my daughter. Got a problem? Swallow it.”

“You…”

“You what? Your daughter tried to take my daughter’s dress, and you think you have the right to act righteous? No wonder your daughter’s so rude and annoying–she learned it from you.”

Madam Shirley was in full–blown savage mode, verbally tearing Alice to shreds until she was speechless and on the verge of tears.

Meanwhile, Madam Shirley kept Alice at bay while still calling out to Lauren.

“Sweetheart! Left hook! Right hook! Hit her good–teach her a lesson she won’t forget!”

“Wow! Good girl! Just like that, don’t stop! Don’t let her fight back!”

Madam Shirley’s face flushed with excitement. Alice’s was red too–but from sheer rage. Watching her beloved daughter’s face get bruised and bloodied, she nearly fainted from the heartbreak.

“I’m done with you!” she yelled and lunged at Madam Shirley.

Madam Shirley dodged her sharp nails, reached up, and grabbed Alice’s hair with both hands, yanking hard.

Alice’s carefully styled hair turned into a rat’s nest in seconds. Clumps of it were ripped out.

“Ahhh-! I’ll kill you!”

And just like that, the two moms started brawling.

But Madam Shirley had the upper hand the entire time. Alice ended up with her hair completely messed up, bloody scratches across her face–her pretty looks ruined.
