Teaching Raegan A Lesson Lauren's heart raced in sheer panic.
Mitchel found out what she had done? No, no fucking way! She had been so careful.
Mitchel couldn't have found out.
He must only be fishing for information right now.
At this moment, Lauren managed to cool herself down, shaking her head vehemently, and cried, "Mitchel, I never hide anything
from you.
You know me well.
How could | ever lie to you? Why can't you trust me?” As she remained in denial, Mitchel coldly retorted, "That time I came back
from Tenassie, the director of the hospital that examined Raegan is an old friend of your father.
And those anonymous photos I received...
Want to know who sent those to me? Need I say more?” Lauren went as white as a sheet.
She never expected Mitchel would dig so deep.
However, she could never admit it.
If she did, that would be the end of everything.
With tears streaming down her face, she clung to Mitchel's arm and feigned innocence.
"I have no idea what you're talking about.
None of this is my doing.
You've got to trust me.
I would never lie to you." Mitchel pulled his arm back and backed away from her.
As he listened to Matteo report all of this, Mitchel felt his own disbelief was in no way less than Lauren's current expression.

Was this the same girl who had fought to save him years ago, lifted his spirits when they were stranded in the water, and urged
him to keep going because the world was beautiful? Luis was right.
Mitchel understood he had underestimated how far a woman could go for love.
If he did not love her, she might have lost it.
Lauren panicked when she saw the icy look on his face.
"It was Jocelyn’s fault, not mine.
I had no idea what she did...." Lauren tried to defend herself.
Mitchel narrowed his eyes and said in a chilly tone, "Just because I dealt with Jocelyn today doesn't mean I believe you, Lauren.

I'm leaving you some wiggle room." Lauren had ruined every ounce of trust he placed in her.
The once innocent and pure girl he knew was now gone.
Mitchel looked down at her and queried, "Do you want me to Keep digging?" The warmth once present in his eyes was replaced
by an arctic chill.
Flustered, Lauren clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
“Mitchel, you're misunderstanding.
I..." "Enough," Mitchel interjected, his patience wearing thin.

in three days." "Mitchel, how can you be so cruel to me? Is it all because of Raegan? She's fine, and Jocelyn's already paid the price.” Lauren dropped to the floor, clung to Mitchel's trousers, and weakly implored, "You can't do this to me, Mitchel...” With

rather die than live on." Before she could touch his hand, Mitchel recoiled in disgust and strode away. On the edge of total collapse, Lauren played her final card. "Mitchel, if you walk out that door, I won't have the surgery. I swear to God! I'd rather die than go through with it.” Arrogant as she ever was, she firmly supposed Mitchel would give in when she threatened him with her life. After all, he still thought she was the one who had saved him years ago. Mitchel wouldn't just stand there and

I won't force you to do what you don't want.
But just so you know, with this surgery, my responsibility of taking care of you ends." In other words, whether she had the surgery
or not, his decision would not change.
"What?" Lauren uttered in shock, her face ghastly pale.
She gazed up at him and stared at the man bathed in moonlight.
His good looks were the same, but the warmth she had come to expect was gone.
He was a stranger to her now.

turned and strode away. "No... No!" Lauren cried hysterically. Unhinged and bordering on madness, she muttered to herself, "This can’t be. Mitchel won't do this to me. He loves me. It's all because of that wretched Raegan and the baby in her belly!" With

she could skin them all! Beep. Suddenly, her phone on the table buzzed to life. Lauren crawled over and picked it up. She did not even wait for the person on the other end to speak and went straight to the point. "Change of plan.
