Lauren Broke Down With eyes wide open in shock and tears streaming down her face, Lauren reasoned, “Mitchel, Jocelyn just
wasn't thinking straight.
Besides, she's old.
How could she survive in jail?" Mitchel's eyes met hers, and his following words sent a chill down her spine.
"Jocelyn gave Kyle two million dollars.
Where would she get that much money? I need an explanation." Two million was not a small amount.
For a maid like Jocelyn, it could be her life's savings.
Who would spend all they had just to set someone up? Mitchel suspected the money had come from Lauren.
In other words, he did not buy their story one bit.
In a heartbeat, fear washed over Lauren.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, her make-up smeared.
In desperation, she clutched at Mitchel’s trousers and pleaded, "Mitchel, I swear I don't know anything about this.
I'm weak.
How could I scheme against anyone?” At this moment, Jocelyn fell to her knees and shuffled forward alongside Lauren.
"My lady, I'm really sorry.
I sold your jewelry to get the money.
I acted on my own, thinking I was protecting you.
This is all my fault.” "Is that how it is, Lauren?" Mitchel questioned while staring at Lauren with narrowed eyes.
Before Lauren could muster a reply, he added, "Think twice before you answer.
This might be your last shot at earning my trust." Lauren felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She was petrified and at a loss for words.
Just yesterday, Kyle revealed that Matteo was investigating him.
Upon learning this, Lauren bribed him with two million dollars and promised him the cash if he took the fall.
On no account could he tell the truth.
Earher, before Mitchel showed up, Jocelyn had given Lauren an emergency escape plan.
If things went south, shift the blame onto Jocelyn.

Lauren had brushed it off at that time.
She assumed Mitchel was just suspicious of a fake paternity test.
How bad could the situation be? Previously, a few tears and Mitchel would surely forgive her.
But now, it was a different case.
Mitchel was deadly serious.

Mitchel and pleaded, "Mitchel, Jocelyn's been with me for years and has always been diligent. Could you find it in your heart to forgive her just this once?” Mitchel shifted his gaze back to Lauren and asked back, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Lauren was caught off guard. She was unsure what Mitchel already knew, so she could only feign innocence. “Mitchel, I've never hidden anything from you. Don't you know

gaze. At this moment, she was brimming with hatred. Raegan was unscathed despite all her schemes, while she was losing a trusted servant. Jocelyn's loyalty to her was beyond doubt. Jocelyn’s family were puppets of the Murray family. Without such a loyal servant, it would be hard to carry out her schemes in the future. Once Matteo took Kyle and Jocelyn

Mitchel, you're the only one I have." Mitchel's frigid eyes met hers as he gently pushed her away.
"Lauren, I've arranged for you to see a specialist in Swynborough.
He can provide a complete cure for what ails you.” A wave of panic washed over Lauren.
The truth was, she had recovered a long time ago.
She was injected with a new type of medicine in Swynborough to make her look sick and win Mitchel’s trust.
If he sent her to another doctor in Swynborough, her secret would be revealed.
"Mitchel, the healthcare here in Ardlens has been gentle and effective.
I'm not in pain anymore.
Can't | just continue my treatment here?” "I want you to recover fully as soon as possible.
This isn’t up for discussion," Mitchel firmly said.

said, "I'll do as you say, Mitchel. Once I'm better, we can start a family. Maybe then, your mother won't be so hard on me." Truth be told, Lauren had zero desire to have kids. Besides, she never liked children. But if having a child was the golden ticket to earning a
