Her former bedroom was near Lauren’s room. From talking to the maids, she learned that
Lauren
had taken a break from her studies. She thought of checking in with the girl
Standing at Lauren’s door, she overheard Betty’s bitchy rant “You little bitch! What did you
do to

“No, I didn’t Betty, I didn’t do anything to him” Lauren’s teary voice was heart–wrenching

“Bullshit” Lauren’s denial only fanned Betty’s anger Betty believed that her sister was

“I don’t know I don’t remember a thing, I swear Ouch!”
What followed was the sound of a shattered vase Alyssa clenched her fist and busted the

A–Alice Lauren curled up into a tiny ball and shivered in a corner. She started crying
agitatedly after seeing Alyssa
“Alyssa Taylor, you crazy bitch!” Betty was seething. Her face was numb from the attack,
as the
slippers were harder than the palm of a hand.
She continued, “You think you’re something just because you’re a Taylor? I am a Beckett,
and I’m
as powerful as you. I will not let this slip!”
“Please keep your word. I, too, need a good reason to punch you.” Alyssa did not give a

Betty at all. Her eyes spelled mockery.
She added, “You’re just a good–for–nothing who bullies your sibling. Pretty impressive,

“Did she hurt you?” He looked at Alyssa and questioned with a concerned tone.
