Chapter 240 Brewing Storm

A smile tugged at the corner of Lauren’s lips as she held a cold gaze. Axel never knew this side to her. If hatred could corrupt someone, Axel didn’t want to see Lauren being held in its clutches, but he was also furious at the treatment she received from her family.
He was in a predicament. While he didn’t want Lauren to be corrupted by hatred, he did want her to restore justice for herself. “Lauren, I will not object to your reclaiming of what is rightfully yours, but please promise me that you will treat yourself nicely no matter what happens in the future, okay?”
Upon hearing his words of concern, Lauren was overcome with sadness as she buried her face into his chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks before falling from her chin to leave a stain on the floor. “I promise you, Axel!” said Lauren with a sob.
