Angelina lunged forward, seizing their hair in her grip. With a swift and forceful tug, she pulled back as
though intent on ripping their hair from their scalps.
"Ouch!"
Silent but lethal, Angelina exerted all her strength, yanking on the heads of these two individuals,
consumed by nothing but malevolent intentions. With a resounding crack, she brought their skulls
together.
Zoe and Betty were instantly knocked out. They slumped to the floor in a heap.
Angelina''s chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily. Her chest was filled with hatred and pain.
It wasn''t that Angelinacked the desire to end their lives, but for these two despicable scoundrels, she
believed they deserved to face justice at the hands of Landon and Jasper themselves. That would be
the only fitting conclusion for them.
"Madam Lauren!"
Angeline knelt beside Lauren''s bruised and battered body. Her bloodied hands lifted Lauren''s limp
torso into her shaky embrace.
"Angelina... Angie..." Lauren tried to muster up a smile, but her mouth merely twitched. She tried to
comfort Angelina. "I''m. fine. I covered my head. I fought back. I will never. let myself be bullied. by
anyone again."
"Good for you, Madam Lauren! I''m proud of you!"
Angelina wiped her tears furiously, her heart heavy with anguish. Gently, she cradled Lauren''s battered
body in her arms, feeling the faint pulse of life still within her. "Come, let me take you home... Let''s go
home."
She barely took a step out of the door before she froze.
The cold metal of two pistols was pressed against her forehead in the dark.

"Cyrus, have you found Mr. Harper Senior''s body?" Alyssa was diligently following up on the case.
Cyrus'' expression was grave. "We found it. It was discovered so quickly that even the Search
Department thought it was strange."
The three turned to stare at him. "What do you mean?"
"The eyewitness, Sylvia Jansen, testified that she overheard the suspect, Preston Harper, talking to his
secretary while they were handling the body. Harper instructed his secretary to move the body to the
west side, believing there was minimal surveince there.
"Ironically, the chosen location is a government development zone, heavily monitored by security
cameras. Furthermore, the body wasn''t buried but carelessly discarded on the highway shoulder. It was
as if they didn''t care whether it would be found."
A glint appeared in Jasper''s eyes. "Cornelius was murdered on the same night that Lauren got
kidnapped. The mastermind behind these two cases must be Preston!"
"No... That can''t be right!" Alyssa was shellshocked, and her face turned pale. An uneasy feeling rose
in her chest.
"Ms. Alyssa! Mr. Jasper! You have to see this!"
They nced at the phone screen, which disyed a mysterious livestream already attracting 20 to 30
thousand viewers.
Upon closer inspection, it showed Lauren being bullied by a group of people, led by Zoe and Betty—
from Freddy''s attempted rape to Lauren fighting back, and finally to getting beaten up by five people—
the entire harrowing process was recorded by a hidden camera and streamed online.
The livestream was even titled, "The Beckett family''s youngest daughter is actually a victim of bullying!
After being tortured by Zoe Harper for years, she will publicly execute her enemies tonight!"
"Lauren!" Tears fell heavily from Landon''s eyes.
His true love, the woman he prized above even his own life, was getting trampled and humiliated by
those monsters.
The livestream was publicly executing those monsters, but it was also ripping his heart to shreds.
"Lauren!" Jasper and Cyrus also called out in pain.
Alyssa suddenly thought of something even more horrifying. She yelled, "It''s Preston! Preston must
have set up this livestream! He did this on purpose! From the very beginning, he''s been setting us up.
Lauren''s life is in danger!"
