Chapter 1673

By now, Lauren had already been dragged in front of Lilian.

“Didn’t expect this, did you, bitch?” Liliana sneered.

The moment they locked eyes, she was practically glowing with smug satisfaction.

Lauren stared at her, surprised. “Ms. Peck, I honestly don’t get it. Why are you doing this?”

Liliana crossed her arms and glared at Lauren condescendingly. “Why? Obviously, I did it for Joe! I really can’t understand what Joe saw in someone as trashy as you!”

Lauren’s expression darkened. “Liliana, watch your mouth. As far as I know, there’s never been any bad blood between us. If this is about Joe, you should take it up with him. Abducting me like this? It’s pathetic.”

Liliana’s face twisted in rage, and she slapped Lauren hard. “You bitch! How dare you mock me! Now that you’re in my hands, who gave you the confidence to keep mouthing off like that?”

The slap left a fiery red mark across Lauren’s cheek, but she did not lash out. Instead, she let out a cold, mocking laugh.

“That’s it? That’s all you’ve got? Joe wanted me, not you. And now the man you like has been easily defeated by my husband! So, really, you’re just a spoiled little heiress from the Peck family who turned out to be nothing.”

Liliana’s face went crimson with humiliation. She lost all control and screamed, “You filthy whore! I’m gonna tear your mouth apart! And once I’m done with that, I’m going to have a hundred men screw you!”

Then, she lunged forward, screaming like a madwoman.

This was exactly what Lauren had been waiting for. She spun and landed a slap across Liliana’s face so fast and hard that it stunned her.

“Y–You dared hit me? You actually hit me? Lauren, you’re so dead!”

Lauren flew into a rage. “You want me dead? Then you’d better be ready to go down first! You think I’m scared of you? Sure, the old Rhodes family might’ve cowered before the Pecks. But now? Andrew is the most powerful man I know, and I don’t owe you a damn thing!”

Before Liliana could recover, Lauren charged at her like a storm. She shoved Liliana to the ground and straddled her in one swift move.

She slapped her twice, growling, “I’ll beat the hell out of you for having me abducted, you crazy bitch!”

She slapped her again. “And for being a disgrace to all women everywhere. Here’s another one!”

Liliana thrashed beneath her, absolutely furious. However, she could not break free. She did not know how to fight, and when it came to brute strength, she was no match.

Lauren got more excited as she hit her. She was surprised to discover that she seemed to have grown stronger.

“Aunt Caroline, help me, help me! Come quickly, kill this bitch, kill her!”

Unable to win the fight, Liliana screamed toward the door.

The door burst open, and a woman with a fierce look, who looked like a typical evil character, stormed in with a dark expression.

“You bitch, how dare you hurt someone from the Peck family! You’re asking for it!”

With a shout, the woman kicked Lauren away.

This kick was extremely vicious, hitting Lauren right in the side of her waist. Moreover, it carried the strength of someone trained in combat.

Lauren let out a sharp cry and spat out a mouthful of blood. She clutched her side, curling into herself, pain written all over her face.

Meanwhile, Liliana crawled to her feet, her hair now a wild mess.
