Chapter 272 Not Play Along

Lauren turned, feigning surprise.
"Raegan, what brings you here?"
Her tone was calculated as if she owned the place.
Raegan's eyes, rimmed red with emotion, studied Lauren coldly.
Raegan couldn't help but notice Lauren's slightly protruding belly.
As a woman, Raegan recognized the signs of pregnancy, not merely weight gain.
Lauren's pale, drawn face made the pregnancy more pronounced.
A wave of fury washed over Raegan.
Mitchel had deceived her all along! Lauren's being transferred to the mental hospital and Mitchel's alleged revenge for her sake
were nothing but fake.
Here was Lauren, by Mitchel's side.
Worse still, she was pregnant.
"Raegan, I've always wanted to apologize..."
Lauren's eyes brimmed with tears.
"I was naive and intrusive, always bothering Mitchel and upsetting you."
Her demeanor had shifted from arrogance to a feigned vulnerability.But Raegan was not impressed at all, her eyes full of hatred.
Tessa’s dying confession echoed in her mind.
Lauren had been the one who orchestrated the killing of her last unborn child.
With icy resolve, Raegan struck Lauren across the face.Lauren staggered, falling against the sofa.
"Ouch..."

Lauren clutched her belly, grimacing in pain.
But Raegan, facing her directly, saw the truth.

The slap couldn't have caused such a dramatic reaction.
Lauren was playing the victim again, trying to frame Raegan.
Seeing this, Raegan decided to play into Lauren's act, to expose her duplicity.
Approaching Lauren, Raegan asked with feigned concern, "Are you okay?"
Lauren, her lips bitten and eyes teary against her pale face, looked truly pitiable.
Yet, she seemed unaware of her appearance.
"Why did you hit me as soon as you came in?"
Lauren questioned.

It appeared she was insinuating that her relationship with Mitchel was exactly what Raegan suspected. Raegan, seizing Lauren's hair, slammed Lauren's head against the sofa, her gaze icy. "You know exactly why.You harmed my child.Did you think I'd let that

Suddenly, a wave of nausea overwhelmed Raegan, darkening her vision and unsteadying her feet.
Mitchel reached out to help, but Raegan stepped back, regaining her balance.
Through clenched teeth, she demanded, "Mitchel Dixon, I'm done abiding by our agreement.Sign the divorce papers soon, or I'll
make this public."
With that, Raegan turned and walked away, refusing to let their presence sour her mood any further.
Mitchel started to follow, but Lauren, clutching his trouser leg, cried out in pain.
"My stomach...I think I'm bleeding..."

after Raegan. Lauren bit her lip, feeling abandoned. She dared not cause further trouble, remembering the suffering she had in the mental hospital. Lauren knew she had to maintain her composure and avoid a confrontation with Raegan. Challenging Raegan openly could only make her life more miserable.
