The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Bargaining with Blood

David stared at Alice like he was looking at a ghost.

She knew?

“What’s wrong? Got nothing to say now?” Alice’s face was streaked with tears, every word laced with hatred

The truth was out–there was no point pretending anymore. David let out a sharp, cold laugh.

“So what if I did it? Your father forced me to marry into your family. That old bastard always looked down on me–he deserved to die. And once he was out of the picture, what could a clueless idiot like you do to stop me?”

His voice turned smug. “What I didn’t expect was you finding out so soon. So tell me–how’d you figure it out?”

“You bastard! I’ll kill your Alice lost control, rage rushing through her like a flood. She grabbed the broom beside the door and swung it wildly at David.

He barely managed to protect himself, grabbing Willow and running for the door.

Alice chased him a few steps before collapsing, breathless. The broom clattered to the floor.

She slowly dropped to the ground, curling into a ball, sobbing into her knees.

“Lauren my baby… when will you come back to me? I miss you so much. I just

a chance to make things right.”

The image of all those reporters outside the Mavis estate flashed through her mind. This life, Lauren seemed even more brilliant than before.

In her past life, Lauren had also been the top student in the province–but she was already eighteen at the time.

Now, at just five years old, she was already a college student, being interviewed by a swarm of reporters..

This brilliant litte girl should have been mine.

Elliot stood silently at the door, watching his mother cry her heart out. He felt a pain in his chest like he was being stabbed with a thousand needles.

Back in the room, Allcd lay flat on the bed, utterly drained.

No. She wasn’t going to let the Mavis family take Lauren from her.

Sure, they treated Lauren like royalty now–but hadn’t they also abandoned her in the past?

Lauren had suffered enough in her last life. This time, her birth mother would never let her go through that again.

Yes. She’d get Lauren back. She was still little–Alice just had to win her over slowly. With time, Lauren would understand. And if Lauren had truly become the province’s top student, then the Mavis family was bound to throw her a massive graduation party.

That was it

At the party, in front of all those people, she’d stand up and tell everyone the truth–that she w

was Lauren’s real mother.

The Mavis family could try to resist, but under the weight of public opinion, they’d have no choice but to give Lauren back.
