Raegan stared at Lauren coldly.
âNo.
Why should I give you my phone?â
The doorman noticed the commotion and walked up to the scene.
âWhatâs wrong, Miss Murray?â
The doorman knew Lauren since she frequented the restaurant.
Words had it that Lauren was the design director of Alpire Studio and was supported by a big shot.
But it was the first time he saw Raegan.
He assumed Raegan was just one of those women who came to the restaurant to hook up with rich men.
Lauren pointed at Raegan accusingly.
âShe took photos of me secretly!
Help me get her phone and delete the photos!â
The doorman saw the opportunity as a good chance to get on Laurenâs good side.
He decided to seize the opportunity.
He put on a straight face at Raegan and asserted, âMiss, please cooperate.
Otherwise, Iâd have no choice but to call the security.
â
Lauren hadnât seen Mitchel in a long while and deep down, she was still scared of him.
Following Raeganâs incident, Mitchel cut ties with Lauren, never reaching out to her again.
Later, when Mitchelâs father paid Lauren a visit, she didnât hesitate to disclose everything.
She told him about Mitchelâs plan to oust him from the board using evidence gathered by Kyle.
This information allowed Mitchelâs father to turn the tables and assume control over the company.
In return, he promised Lauren a fifteen percent stake in Alpire Studio.
After the abortion, Lauren learned about Kyleâs fatal accident in the detention center.
Everything was falling into place just as she wanted.
Around this time, she decided against marrying Mitchel.
Mitchel, deeply affected by Raeganâs incident, nearly lost his position in the Dixon Group due to his fatherâs intervention.
His future seemed grim.
But, to everyoneâs surprise, Mitchel made a comeback a year later.
Lauren had to acknowledge Mitchelâs resilience.
Meeting Mitchel after such a long gap, Lauren felt a mix of fear and nervousness.
He seemed more charismatic than before.
Then, she found her old feelings for Mitchel stirring up again.
Lauren looked at Mitchel with a sad expression and said, âMitchel, Iâm just as clueless as you about why Raegan took photos of me.
â
Turning to Raegan, her voice shaky, Lauren remarked, âRaegan, if you want a photo of me, just say so.
I wouldnât say no, you know? Why sneak around to get one?â
Her tone and demeanor were a complete shift from moments ago.
Witnessing this, Raegan was taken aback.
Although she had no recollection of Lauren, such a gesture truly surprised Raegan.
âWow, sheâs really something.
Despite knowing the man was married, Lauren still pursued him.
What a bitch!â Raegan muttered to herself.
Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, âYou know, I think Laurenâs right.
â
Raegan was instantly furious.
âWhat the hell? Why is he defending her?â she cursed in her heart.
Raegan was pissed off the moment she heard Mitchelâs words.
This jerk was standing up for Lauren again.
It was not hard to tell how much she had been hurt in the past, judging from Mitchelâs reaction.
Raegan murmured under her breath, âIf Mitchel is fond of Lauren, I should make things difficult for this bitch.
Maybe if things get too tough, he will detest me and want a divorce.
