Laurenâs eyes flared with rage, a twisted smile emerging.
âAh, Mitchel, so youâve come at last!â
Mitchel exerted immense strength and focused on action, dragging Lauren out with all his might.
With Laurenâs grip broken, coughs sounded from Raegan.
Despite her coughing fit, Raegan stubbornly clung to the steering wheel, unwilling to release her grip.
Mitchel felt a bit relieved as the immediate danger seemed to ease up.
However, that relief was short-lived, as Lauren brandished a syringe.
Her manic laughter filled the air.
âMitchel, recognize this?â
Mitchelâs gaze turned icy and piercing.
âThe last time, I was ready to give her an injection, but you stepped in.
This time, I wonât mess up.
â Lauren smiled ominously.
Laurenâs job assigned by Katie was to give an injection to Raegan.
Lauren would do it even without getting anything in return.
Even if it meant her death, she intended to take Raegan down with her.
Still struggling to regain full consciousness, Raegan remained unaware of the confrontation unfolding behind her.
She bit down on her tongue, fighting to stay alert, trying vainly to decelerate the uncontrollable vehicle.
Yet, the SUV was messed with.
It couldnât halt!
Mitchel could only watch as Lauren poised the syringe at Raeganâs neck.
In a moment of urgency, he cried out, âLauren, please, stop!â
After not hearing her name for a while, Lauren stopped when she heard it again.
She turned to face Mitchel, her visage marred by blood and tears and twisted by intense feelings.
âMitchel, youâre indebted to me.
You owe me!â
Laurenâs voice escalated into a shriek.
âI loved you.
Why didnât you reciprocate? Why!â
Seizing the opportunity, Mitchel lunged for the syringe.
However, Lauren, flashing a menacing grin, thrust it forcefully toward him.
âIf thatâs how it is, letâs die together!â Lauren ranted uncontrollably, âIf I canât be with my beloved, then no one can, not Raegan, not Katie.
None of you will have Mitchel!â
Faced with a split-second decision, Mitchel didnât falter in his resolve.
His choice was clear.
He understood the significance of this decision.
No matter what, heâd always stick by Raegan, never letting her go.
As Lauren aimed to administer the injection, Mitchel reached for the SUVâs door handle, yanking it open.
The door burst open with a resounding âbangâ!
Caught off guard, Lauren tumbled out.
She hit the ground with a heavy âthud.
â
Matteo, witnessing the scene, immediately halted to check on Lauren.
The carâs high speed had left half of Laurenâs face disfigured.
She lay on the ground, not moving, as if she were dead.
