With a click of her tongue, Nicole continued, âOne might look human but acts worse than animals, blinded to distinguishing good from evil.
â
Her insinuating words visibly darkened Mitchelâs expression.
Undeterred, Nicole added, âMr.
Dixon, I know an excellent Ophthalmologist.
Do you need me to introduce him to you?â
Her implication was clear.
She was chastising Mitchel.
Mitchelâs patience wore thin as he commanded coldly, âLeave!â
Lauren was increasingly irritated because Nicoleâs intrusion had ruined her moment with Mitchel.
She seized the moment and stepped in, feigning a gentle tone, âMiss Lawrence, I understand youâre here because of Raegan.
But sheâs not in her right mind, and her words arenât reliable.
Laurenâs implication was clear.
She suggested Raegan was mentally unstable.
Nicole couldnât help but sneer at Laurenâs attempts to besmirch Raegan.
âSo, Lauren, youâre proposing that Raegan prompted me to cause you trouble?â
Lauren hastily clarified, âThat wasnât my intention.
Itâs just⦠She seemed so deranged earlier.
I just thought you should knowâ¦â
Nicole laughed bitterly.
âIt appears you wonât accept the truth until itâs staring you in the face.
â
Before Lauren could react, Nicole asked, âWhy did Raegan hit you if you claim she did?â
Laurenâs expression froze, a wave of discomfort washing over her.
In a flustered tone, she responded, âI already told you sheâs mentally unstable.
How could I possibly know what goes on in her mindâ¦â
Nicoleâs smile vanished, her voice dropping to a whisper.
âBut you called her a stray dog left behind by Mr.
Dixon.
You branded her child a bastard, deserving of death, and labeled her a curse on her entire familyâ¦â
Nicole recounted each sentence with precision.

Hearing this, Laurenâs face clouded over, and she burst out, âThatâs absurd!â
She had once badmouthed Raegan, thinking it remained secret, never expecting her words to reach Nicole.
Unperturbed, she believed she was beyond reproach, especially in the absence of any proof.
Nicole scoffed.
âDonât rush.
I havenât finished.
You boasted about altering Raeganâs paternity and pregnancy reports.
Mitchel knows, yet he turns a blind eye.
â
Mitchelâs expression remained stoic, yet there was an undeniable iciness in his demeanor.
