I Apologize For Her Lying in the hospital bed, Lauren was diagnosed with a mild concussion and needed to rest for some time.
Mitchel stood by her bedside, seemingly indifferent to the doctor's diagnosis.
Lauren stole a glance at him.
She was captivated by the way his handsome face looked under the soft glow of the incandescent lamp.
There was no denying that he was handsome.
His features were cool, almost icy, but magnetizing.
He had that kind of allure that made it hard for Lauren to look away.
The yearning in her eyes was as clear as day.
She had no intention of ever letting go of this man who seemed like a gift from the gods.
At the thought of this, Lauren's eyes welled up with tears again.
"Mitchel...
Why does it still hurt? I’m not feeling well.” Mitchel frowned.
"You still don't feel well? I'll have Luis come and examine you." "No, there’s no need," Lauren disagreed at once.
"I'm actually feeling better.
Plus, Luis is so busy.
I don't want to bother him." Lauren was flustered.
She did not want to see Luis since he was too sharp and perceptive and could easily see through her lies.
“Fine,” Mitchel said, unfazed.
"By the way, why did Raegan hit you earlier?" At the mention of this, tears quickly filled Lauren's eyes, and she lamented,
"Raegan accused me of setting her up at the banquet earlier.

She blamed me for everything.
Mitchel, why would I do something like that to her? You can look into it yourself." She was not afraid at all.
After all, she had made sure she was clean from all angles.
"It's Raegan's fault,” Mitchel said nonchalantly.
Lauren abruptly stopped dabbing her eyes.
Why was Mitchel so indifferent? Raegan had slapped her hard enough to leave red marks on her face, and her face was still
swollen and tingling from the hit.
Mitchel should be furious and demand an apology from Raegan on her knees, right? Aggrieved, Lauren's chest heaved violently,
and tears slid down her cheeks.
Just then, Jocelyn burst into the room.

Upon seeing Lauren's face, she was in utter shock.
"My lady, who did this to you? If my lord knew about this, he'd be devastated! Oh, my God! Nobody has ever dared to treat you
like this." Jocelyn turned to Mitchel and appealed, "Mr.
Dixon, we're alone here in Ardlens, so we're depending on you to set things right!” Jocelyn had overheard their conversation and
knew Mitchel was taking Raegan's side.
However, she was savvier than Lauren and knew how to leverage Lauren’s family influence to pressure Mitchel.
Mitchel, visibly irritated by Jocelyn's theatrics, impatiently looked down at Lauren and asked, "What do you want to do then?” A

of the magnanimous socialite while making Raegan seem petty in comparison. Even better, acting graciously might win her some sympathy with Mitchel. As for Raegan, well, Lauren was just biding her time. Sooner or later, she would make sure the score was settled. Sure enough, Mitchel's icy demeanor softened because of her words. After being silent for a long time, his lips finally parted, and he said, "Lauren, I apologize to you on Raegan's behalf.” What the hell! Lauren's face drained of color. For a second, she thought she was dreaming. Why was Mitchel apologizing? What the hell was wrong with him? Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Lauren blurted out, "Mitchel, she slapped me and shoved me against the railing! Don't you think I deserve an apology from her?” "Mr. Dixon, you're being unfair!”
