Chapter 1053
Meanwhile, observing the scene from afar, Hallie clenched her fists, her knuckles popping. Subconsciously, she
brought her hand up to her still-masked face. "D*mn it!"
Lauren froze, completely forgetting to react to his actions. When she cback to her senses, she was pulled
out of her thoughts by a violent force. At that moment, she was half-hidden behind Willy, and Kylie was staring at
her scornfully. One of Kylie's hands was still in mid-air, with her wrist clutched by Willy. She looked like she was
about to pick a fight.
"What're you doing?"
Willie swung his hand and pushed Kylie away. He moved half a step back, shielding Lauren behind him. His face
was totally ashen.
"Don't makeraise my hand against you! Scram!"
Kylie stumbled and bared her teeth. Hearing that, she stomped her foot angrily.
"You two... Lauren, you trashy b*tch, don't think that you can hide forever just because someone is protecting
you! You hurt Zedd to this extent. Aren't you ashamed to go back to school?"
"Ruining someone's future is akin to killing their parents. You ruined my marriage, gotsuspended from my
job, and madea laughingstock! You're so evil and unforgivable, your conscience doesn't even exist. Can you
even sleep well at night?" "Zedd will never let you go when he gets released!"
"You wicked woman! You deserve to be an orphan, to be all alone! | curse you to be abandoned by others for all
your life and suffer alone forever!"
As she roared, Kylie's face turned into a grimace of distortion. Many people were watching the noisy scene. For a
moment, Willy's face was very gloomy.
As soon as he was about to speak, Lauren suddenly stepped up.
"Those words that you've said, I'm directing them right back at you. God watches everything. You don't have to
worry about me. | can eat and sleep well. Even if | have no support in life, | wouldn't stoop so low and steal

Staring at her, Lauren was not intimidated or giving in to her at all.
"Those whose beliefs don't align would not work together! Kylie, don't you haveto thank? That man fell in
love with me, but cheatedof all my money. Aren't you afraid that one day you will wind up in my footsteps as
well? Also, don't tell| should be afraid of you just because you're young, pretty and have a rich family. If we
really are to compare these things, I'm worried that even all of you guys combined won't be enough to come
against me!"
She was not a petty or nosy person and did not want to draw attention to herself. However, right then, Lauren
was particularly reluctant to be misunderstood as people looked at them, even if they were just strangers.
She was telling the truth without exaggerating at all. However, to Kylie and Willy, her last sentence sounded
weird. Kylie thought she was just putting on an air of superiority for show, while Willy thought that it was just her
anger speaking.
"It's your business if you love him, but you have no reason to askto pay the price for your so-called love for
you and him! So, stop bothering me! It's only ten years. Perhaps, his sentence will be reduced to five years. If
you like him so much, why don't you behave yourself meanwhile?"
Once she was done, she tugged on Willy's shirt. "Let's go!"
As soon as they turned around, another roar cfrom behind them.
"You're disgustingly hypocritical! On one hand, you put up a pleasant looking front, but at the stime, you're
trying to set him up while in prison. | just went to visit him, and he's lost his eligibility for a reduced sentence
because of the fight! It's still uncertain if he'll ever get out for the rest of his life!"
When she snapped back, Kylie couldn't help gritting her teeth in anger.
"Hey! Don't be fooled by her playing the victim! Be careful, or you'll go down the spath as Zedd one day,
and you won't even know what hit you!"
Obviously, the last sentence was addressed to Willy. Lauren paused for a moment, clearly shocked, but on the
surface, she was calm.
"Either you wait for him, or you stop pretending to be someone who's drunk in love! | owe you nothing, Kylie!"
What right did Kylie have to condemn her there?
With those words, she glanced at Willy again and the two walked hand in hand into the mall.
Behind them, Kylie was puffing with rage, her face turning pale. She had no idea how long she had been standing
there. When she came
back to her senses, there was
already nothing in front of t
Just
as she turned around, a female figure donned in a mask suddenly cinto her sight. Her eyes
widened as their gazes met.
Was it Hallie?
Pulling Willy all the way into the mall, Lauren's mind wandered and her pace picked up noticeably. She only
slowed her pace when she couldn't catch her breath.
"I'm sorry to have made you..." She had made him the victim of those criticism for no reason as well!
At first, she had felt a little sorry. Suddenly, something occurred to her and Lauren's eyes fell on him. "Was it
you? Kylie wasn't lying, was she?"
If Kylie's blood was boiling because of what had happened in prison, and if it wasn't her doing or an accident,
then the only possibility was him! "I'm talking about what happened to Zedd in prison..."
When she had been in prison in the
past, whether he was acting or not, Zedd had kept telling her to cooperate and behave well so she could get a
reduced sentence! For crthat was done accidentally; the chances of getting a reduced sentence were high,
and Zedd knew that well! How was it possible for him to have just gotten in and already made such mistakes,
and destroyed his chance to get out sooner?

"Why do you care?"
His tone was nonchalant, but the words sounded unhappy, and he wasn't denying it. In a flash, Lauren
understood that it really was him!
Shaking her head, Lauren grinned. "Thank you..."
Her expression suddenly relaxed. It was only then that Lauren realized how hot she felt. Subconsciously, she
lifted her hand and pulled the thick coat away. She was actually trying to unbutton it, but Willy mistakenly
thought she was cold and even adjusted the coat tighter for her, and pulled up the collar again.
"I'll go with you to buy a thicker down jacket!"
Lauren rolled her eyes and felt speechless.
He wasn't blind, and could sense the obvious distaste. Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Lauren took his hand and pressed it directly to her forehead. "It's so stuffy, quickly take it off for me!"
Willy couldn't help and laughed.
First, he wiped the sweat off her forehead to calm her down a little, then he helped her take off the heavy coat,
He took her on a casual stroll and picked out a maternity dress for her. Then, he went to a
women's bag store and chose a navy blue tote bag that was light and had a low-profile design. The kind of bag
was best for carrying a notebook, and the classic contrast between yellow and blue was both simple and
standard, well suited to her style!
After trying to carry it, Lauren liked it very much. "Does it look good?"
"Indeed, it's not bad! Why don't you choose a pink one?" The weather was going to get warmer soon, and this
color was clearly more appropriate for winter.
Lauren chuckled. "I don't have to worry about it getting dirty with this color! Let's get this one!"
"Thank you for your patronage! If you purchased our new products today, you're entitled to a small gift. It's right
over here. Why don't you choose first, and I will help you wrap it up!"
As they walked to the accessories section, Willy's eyes were instantly drawn to a pair of cloudshaped earrings...
