Chapter 275
Michael rushed over, pulling the gag from Thalia’s mouth. “Miss Parker! What happened?”
Thalia gasped for air. “Brother! Help Laurel! That psycho Audrey’s trying to kill her!”
1 headed straight for the bathroom, pushing the door open.
The scene froze me in place. Audrey had Laurel bent over the toilet, repeatedly dunking her head while water splashed everywhere.
“Having fun?” Audrey’s voice was unrecognizable with rage. “Let’s see how you like it!”
Laurel spotted me from the corner of her eye and immediately went limp, turning her frantic struggling into pathetic sobs.
Audrey didn’t notice me, still focused on Laurel. I studied them for a moment, then put on my best outraged face.
“Audrey Sinclair! What the hell are you doing?” I pulled her away, pinning her against the wall. “This is too far!”
I helped Laurel up, cradling her gently. “Are you hurt?”
She buried her face in my shirt. “I’ll be okay…”
“I’m taking you to Dr. Clarke.” I lifted her into my arms and headed for the door. “Michael, bring the others. We’re leaving.”
Michael nodded. “Ladies?”
Thalia and Olivia, now freed, shot venomous looks at Audrey as they followed us out.
Audrey’s POV

The nail half-hammered in for the painting stuck out from the exact spot my head hit.
I felt it pierce the back of my skull.
White-hot pain exploded through my head as the metal drove into my flesh. My vision blurred, darkness creeping in from the edges.
I couldn’t even scream.
