Rape?
Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett looked at the contents of that piece of paper in shock and turned to look at Sally, asking, "Did you really do this to Lauren?"
Sally tried to shed her tears. And as soon as she was about to speak, she heard Lauren saying coldly, "That man gave me the screenshots of your conversation online and transfers, so it is useless for you to say anything to deny this now." Lauren didnt want to waste time with Sally.
Sally trembled and cried even louder, "Sorry, I admit I made a mistake! Thats because Im afraid that Dad and Mom will give up on me..." Suddenly, she grabbed Laurens arm and said, "Please forgive me. I know you are the biological daughter of Mom and Dad. Now you can have anything you want. Please forgive me!"
Listening to Sally say those hypocritical words, Lauren frowned in disgust.
It sounded like Sally was asking Lauren for forgiveness, but in fact, she was reminding Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett how innocent she was as if she was the victim. It turned out that they immediately forgave Sally.
"Sally, dont cry. Its not a big deal. We understand you," Mrs. Bennett said.
"Your mother is right. You are our daughter. Lauren wouldnt do anything to you since you didnt mean to hurt her," Mr. Bennett said.
Hearing this, Laurens expression changed immediately. She once wanted her parents to do justice for her. It turned out that her parents didnt care about her at all. Lauren felt disappointed
While Lauren was still immersed in sadness, a cup of cold water was poured toward her face. She subconsciously dodged, but the water still wet her shoulder. It was her younger brother Darren who poured the water!
"Since you are alright, what else do you want by saying this? Do you want to drive Sally out of our family?" Darren was angry and grabbed a glass, throwing it at Lauren, straight to her eyes!
If it hit her, Lauren might be blind! So she hurriedly retreated, but behind her were the stairs. Lauren twisted her ankle and then fell to the ground, screaming in pain. At this moment, all of Laurens expectations for this family were completely gone!
"What else do you want to say now?" Darren was very dissatisfied with Laurens silence so he stepped forward and raised his hand, wanting to grab her hair to force her to raise her head.
As soon as his hand reached over, he was stopped by a stern voice from upstairs, "Stop!" It was his Grandpa!
"How can you hurt your sister!" Grandpa was so angry that he pointed his crutch at Darren.
Seeing that Grandpa was angry, Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett quickly defended Darren. "Father, Darren is still young. He didnt mean it," Mr. Bennett said.
"Yes, he just cares too much about Sally but he didnt mean to hurt Lauren," Mrs. Bennett said.
Just now, when Darren used the glass to hit Lauren, Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett watched coldly, without saying anything to stop him. But now they couldnt wait to protect Darren.
Lauren, who was sitting on the step, looked at them, and she didnt know whether her ankles hurt more or her heart hurt more.
Mr. Bennett junior took a look at Mrs. Bennett and then changed the topic.
"Sally asked someone to rape Lauren so how are you going to deal with her?" Mr. Bennett senior asked them. Although he was upstairs then, he heard the conversation.
"Father," Mr. Bennett was afraid that his father might strictly punish Sally, so he took the initiative to say, "Lauren was alright now. So just let this go."
"I agree," Mrs. Bennett said, "Sally didnt mean to hurt Lauren. Maybe she just asked someone to scare her."
"Nonsense!" Mr. Bennett senior sneered coldly and said, "She should pay for what she did even if she didnt hurt Lauren." He took a tough attitude toward Sally.
Hearing this, Mrs. Bennett was worried about Sally but she didnt dare to argue with Mr. Bennett senior, so she had to turn around to look at Lauren, "Since you are alright now, could you forgive Sally?"
Lauren raised her head to look at Mrs. Bennett seriously, and then lowered her head. This was the feeling of having a mother, but it didnt feel good at all, Lauren thought.
Mr. Bennett junior said, "Lauren, in the future, you will be a member of the Bennett family. So I believe you want our family to be a harmonious one, right? Dont you think you should forgive Sally?"
Lauren couldnt believe this was what her parents said to her after they knew Sally wanted to hurt her. Her father was even threatening and forcing her to forgive Sally. Did he mean that if she didnt forgive Sally, she was being unreasonable?
Lauren raised her head, suddenly stood up, and walked to Sally.
"Lauren," Sally glanced at her, blinking her big watery eyes which were pitiful, saying,"I realize my mistake and please forgive me."
Lauren faked a smile, then suddenly raised her hand, and slapped Sally with all her might.
"Okay, I can forgive you now!" Lauren said. A loud slapping sound echoed in the room.
