Chapter 1713
Such corruption would not have been allowed in the district under Cyrus' jurisdiction.
"Sir, |... | know your... pain..." Lauren opened her swollen eyes slowly. Her soft voice was devoid of the fear when she was firstheld hostage. Instead, she sounded heartbreakingly resilient. "| have. had similar experience. as your daughter.”
Looking shocked, Denver gasped, "What did you say?"
"Please. trust that | will. stay by Joanna's side. until she puts behind her trauma. | will avenge her." Lauren struggled to speakdue to the debilitating fear that suffocated her.
“What can you do, you weak woman?"
"I'm. the daughter of Javier Beckett. You can. search me up. on your phone." Covered in sweat, she added, "Jasper Beckett, thepresident of the Beckett Group. is my brother. My sister-in-law is Alyssa Taylor of the KS Group. Don't you think they are powerfulenough to. avenge Joanna?"
Cyrus had a newfound respect for Lauren. Anyone else would have been crippled by fear, but Lauren held onto what remained ofher sanity and persuaded Denver to release her.
"Is Alyssa Taylor. your sister-in-law?" Denver did not think that Lauren was bold enough to lie to him. After all, anyone couldperform a fact-check on their phones to ascertain her claim.
This time, he was utterly swayed by Lauren. Alyssa Taylor, despite being born into wealth, had the guts to seek justice forordinary female victims like Nina Carle and Maggie Madison. For that, she made enemies with the Becketts and the Schmidts.However, her brave acts had spread far and wide.
Denver thought, "Oh, if only Alyssa Taylor could help my poor daughter." Still, he doubted Alyssa Taylor's capability to deal withevery injustice in the world, even though she might be morally upright. Besides, she had no good reason to help his daughter.
"Can Ms. Taylor. really help Joanna?"
"Yes. I'm sure." Overwhelmed by emotions, Lauren shed tears despite having already calmed down. Tears flowed uncontrollablydown her pale cheeks. "I was once a school bullying victim too."
Cyrus widened his eyes in disbelief. He was shocked by what he had heard.
"But | chose to endure and avoid the bullying. Until now. my bullies haven't been held responsible and punished. I'll take this as away of avenging myself to fulfill one of my wishes. | certainly hope | can help Joanna.
"Sir, please do not. walk down the wrong path. You won't be able to see justice served if you die here today."
