Chapter 373 Danger Approaching "I've asked someone to verify the body," Mitchel replied.

"Good. I'll be away on a business trip for half a month," Erick said.

"Understood." Mitchel nodded.

As the two men exchanged glances, Mitchel discerned Erick's silent request to watch over Raegan in his absence.

When Mitchel was about to leave, Erick suddenly stopped him. "Is Lauren from the Murray family of Swynborough, known for their chain hotels?" "Yes. Erick, are you acquainted with the Murrays?" "My father knows Mr. Murray," Erick replied. "You mentioned Miss Murray

saved you. Can I ask what exactly she did for you?" Instead of responding, Mitchel maintained a prolonged silence. His mind drifted to that fateful day. It seemed to be quite a coincidence since it happened on Lauren's birthday when she saved his life.

At that time, the Murray family held a birthday party for Lauren in Swynborough.

It was during the celebration when Mitchel accidentally walked into the storeroom of the villa and stumbled upon the disconcerting scene of his father having an affair with a maid.

Catching them in the dirty act had filled him with disgust.

Walking away absent-minded, Mitchel had fallen into a frozen lake. It was Lauren who spotted him under the ice and smashed through it with a

hammer to rescue him, He vividly remembered her words of encouragement in his ear, urging him not to give up and extending her hand to him.

Back then, Lauren exuded innocence, kindness, and charm. Mitchel could never have foreseen that Lauren would one day end up like this.

Even though Mitchel had granted Lauren numerous chances to redeem herself, Lauren chose again and again to inflict harm on others, ultimately harming herself.

Observing the pensive look on Mitchel's face, Erick sensed his reluctance to discuss the matter. His eyes abruptly turned cold. "Mr. Dixon, it's perfectly fine if you'd rather not delve into it. It's late now. Please head back." No, I can talk about 1t Mitchel

snapped back to reality. "When I was a child, I fell into a frozen lake. Lauren was the one who rescued me." "A frozen lake?" Erick asked, furrowing his brow. "Are you talking about the lake in the manor of the Duke of Moss?" Mitchel's gaze darkened. "How do you know about that?" "I..." Erick was about to disclose something but stopped midsentence.

He was about to set off to Swynborough. He would like to verify the details with the concerned parties first before he revealed anything to Mitchel.
