The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Same Scene, Different Fate.

It happened at the stairwell–again. Just like before, Willow shoved someone down the stairs. This time, it was Corinth, and she landed at the bottom with blood pouring from her head.

Willow stood at the top of the staircase, panic frozen on her face. Beside her stood Elliot.

Lauren stood below, watching it all happen with her own eyes.

She stared upward, dumbfounded. The same scene, all over again.

Willow was only five, yet already this cruel?

“Willow, are you out of your mind?” Lauren shouted up at her.

Willow’s face twisted in fear. “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me–it was you! You pushed her!”

She pointed straight at Lauren, screaming at the top of her lungs.

The same accusation. The same setup. Just like in her past life–Willow was once again trying to pin the blame on her,

Only difference was, this time, it wasn’t David standing next to Willow.

It was Elliot

Lauren’s heart clenched. Her fists tightened as she locked eyes with Elliot.

In her last life, he had testified against her in court without even knowing the truth. All it took was Willow’s word, and he lied under oath. She’d gone to prison because of it.

But this time, he had seen it himself.

This life, she wanted to see what he would do now that he’d

witnessed everything with his own eyes.

To him, Willow had always been the perfect little sister–sweet, well–behaved, adored by all.

He never imagined she’d do something like this. That she’d push someone down the stairs and then try to pin it on someone

else.

His gaze met Lauren’s. Her eyes were cold, searching–and he suddenly felt a wave of guilt, like he’d wronged her somehow

before.

Which was strange. They’d only met twice.

Just then, Willow clutched Elliot’s arm and pleaded with him, full of desperation. “Elliot, help me! I’m scared! I didn’t mean

“Help you? What am I supposed to do?”

“There’s only the three of us here. If you say it was her who pushed Corinth, everyone wi

believe you.”

He looked at Willow–his sweet, innocent little sister–and suddenly, she seemed like a stranger.

A flicker of uncase crept into his heart. But she was still his sister. The pride of the Bennett family

Silence.

The stairwell fell utterly quiet.

As soon as he said it. Elliot felt like the air had been sucked out of him. He lowered his head, ashamed, unable to meet Lauren’s eyes–afraid of seeing the hatred he knew would be there.

But what he didn’t know was she wasn’t angry

And she definitely wasn’t surprised.

She’d already come to understand in her past life that Elliot would always take Willow’s side. That to the Bennett family, she was nothing.

She’d seen through all of that long ago. So what was there to be disappointed about now!

Instead, her lips curved into a mocking smile.

Same scene. Same betrayal.

But she wasn’t the same girl.

Back then, she’d cried, screamed, desperately denied the accusation-“It wasn’t me! It was Willow!“–but no one had listened.

Now, she didn’t need to fight back. Didn’t need to defend herself..

Because she had faith the Mavis family would stand by her.
