Chapter 138

? ? ? ? ?

Lauren's eyes widened at Mitchel's words and her jaw dropped.

I was totally incredulous.

All along, he firmly believed that his plan was foolproof.

Whether it was his fake illness or the kidnapping plan, he made sure that there were no loopholes.

So he thought Mitchel must be lying to him, trying to get something out of him.

She convinced herself that this was how it should be.

Lauren endured the excruciating pain and continued to play dumb.

Tears fell down her face like a waterfall.

«Mitchel, what are you talking about? I don't understand…"

«Oh, yes? So, I'll make you understand. The drug you took was delivered to you from Swynborough. Also, in the area where your kidnappers' car crashed and exploded off the cliff, Matteo found a car that was passing by at the time. The dash cam footage clearly showed that the car lost control because the brakes malfunctioned. Well, several people risked their lives to demand ten million dollars, and yet the car they took had defective brakes.

Mitchel paused. Then he calmly asked, "Lauren, do you really think you can treat me like a fool and lie to me just because those men are dead?"

As he spoke, he sounded calm and indifferent. It was like he was just talking about what to have for dinner.

But every word he said sent a shiver through Lauren. The cold penetrated to the depths of his bones.

Lauren shook her head desperately and said sadly: -No, Mitchel.

It's not like that. Please let me explain..."

When a tear from Lauren fell on Mitchel's wrist, he felt an inexplicable disgust rise in his heart. He pushed Lauren violently.

Caught off guard, Lauren was pushed back forcefully.

A loud bang was heard.

It turned out that his back hit the corner of the closet hard.

The pain was so intense that he felt like his spine was shattering.

«Ah! Mitchel, it hurts. It hurts so much..."

Lauren's face contorted in pain. She was uglier than a monster.

But no matter how miserable he looked, he couldn't evoke even an ounce of sympathy from Mitchel.

«Lauren, you know what I hated the most were manipulative games. Before I tolerated you because I believed I owed you my life. But now that I have paid off that debt, I have to settle accounts with you.

Actually, Mitchel had already suspected that Lauren had done something wrong. But each time, he deluded himself into believing that she was still the innocent, kind-hearted girl from his memory.

Therefore, I didn't want to think about it or investigate further. But when the truth was presented to him, the first thing he thought about was how he would face Raegan.

Raegan had told her Lauren's true color countless times. But he always refused to believe her.

When Mitchel thought about Raegan's sadness and despair, he felt like his heart was squeezed by a giant invisible hand. It was too painful.

Raegan was seriously injured because of him.

And it was he who abandoned her and made her lose her son.

That baby wasn't just Raegan's. It was his too.

Mitchel stared at Lauren with resentful eyes. It made Lauren feel like a condemned sinner awaiting judgment.

Finally, Lauren felt fear take hold of her heart.

She begged between sobs, “Mitchel, please don't do this to me. I only did those things because I love you so much. I don't want to lose you. I said those words because I was jealous of Raegan. Why can she have you? I've known you longer than she has.

Mitchel's eyes became cold and tired upon hearing this.

«Lauren, I have nothing left for you but gratitude. Don't you understand?

These words made Lauren's heart fall from hell into even deeper darkness.

«No, Mitchel! That's impossible. "You're lying!"

Tears ran down her face uncontrollably. I couldn't believe what Mitchel had just said.

“Mitchel, you're lying to me, right?

How can you say you've never loved me? You have treated me well because you love me. I already know. "I can't believe it."

Lauren was deeply in love with Mitchel's good looks and honorability.

Just one look from him could awaken her imagination, making her fantasize about countless scenes.

But he never thought that one day, his imagination would be shattered.

In front of Lauren, Mitchel took out his phone, called Matteo and ordered: “Matteo, contact Triclinium hospital. Ms. Murray is mentally unstable. "He needs urgent treatment."

As she listened to him, Lauren felt like something wasn't right.

I knew the Triclinium Hospital. It was a psychiatric hospital in Ardlens.

His mind instantly went blank, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

His eyes widened in disbelief. Mitchel was planning to send her to a mental hospital.

I wasn't crazy. Why would he send her there?

His lips trembled incessantly as he asked, “Mitchel, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me?

«You know what I'm talking about. Don't you desperately want to send Raegan there?

These words were like a thorny whip that slapped Lauren's face fiercely. The pain was unbearable.

She never expected Mitchel to pull the same trick she had adopted when dealing with Raegan.

A cold and mocking expression appeared on Mitchel's refined face. The words that came out of her mouth were like countless knives piercing Lauren's heart.

“I will send you there to experience it first.”

Lauren instantly trembled violently. Infinite fear filled his eyes.

He no longer cared about his dignity. She knelt in front of him and moaned, “Mitchel, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have framed Raegan. I won't do it again. Please don't send me to the psychiatric hospital..."

However, Mitchel only curled his lips into a cold smile. He turned around and started to leave without even looking at Lauren.

Seeing this, despair filled Lauren's heart. She knew that as soon as he left, she would be sent to the mental hospital with no way back.

She screamed desperately: “Mitchel, how can you treat me like this?

I still have family. Aren't you afraid that my father will come for you if you send me to the mental hospital?

Mitchel turned around and sneered in a low voice, “Ronan Murray must know that you are pretending to be sick.”

Lauren was shocked when she heard him mention her father's full name.

Mitchel always called his father "Mr. Murray." It was the first time he called his father by his full name.

Lauren avoided his gaze and stammered, “No… No. My father doesn't know.”

But her voice betrayed her. It was obvious that he was lying.

A trace of disgust crossed Mitchel's face. If she didn't know that the creator of the injectable drug had a close relationship with Ronan, she might believe Lauren's words. But now he knew everything.

He looked at Lauren coldly and snapped, “You and your family conspired to lie to me. Have you ever thought about the consequences? Do you really think you can fool me forever? Since Ronan wants me to take care of you so much, I'll do it. Sending you to the psychiatric hospital is already a great help. Will he come for me? Well…"

Mitchel paused. Then he asked, "Which do you think Ronan will choose, you or his career?"

Lauren's body stiffened. She felt like she had been struck by lightning.

He knew that his father would choose his career without hesitation.

Mitchel's words accurately captured the essence of his family's character.

As soon as Mitchel opened the door, Matteo was already outside with two strong bodyguards.

Mitchel said coldly without even looking back, “Take her away.”

Lauren looked at the two bodyguards in horror. As they approached her, she screamed hysterically: “No! Don't come close! I don't want to go! "I don't want to go!"

But everyone turned a deaf ear. Mitchel ignored her and was about to leave the room.

«I told you! Don't come any closer."

Lauren grabbed a fruit knife out of nowhere, pressed it against her neck, and screamed, "If you dare to take me, I will die in front of you!"
