At this moment, Mitchel disengaged his clothes from Laurenâs grip and gazed down at Lauren.
âLauren, do you recall my previous warning?â
He was referring to the caution he had issued the night when he handed Jocelyn over to the police.
A wave of coldness swept over Lauren, sending shivers down her spine.
Pinching herself, tears began to flow freely.
âMitchel, itâs not true.
Donât trust her.
Sheâs siding with Raeganâ¦
She must be helping Raegan frame meâ¦â
âHa-ha!â Nicole scoffed.
âShould there be any doubts, I wouldnât hesitate to have an expert verify the recording.
â
âShut up!â Lauren snapped in anger.
âYouâre best friends, right?
Obviously, youâd collaborate to set me up!â
Lauren steadfastly refused to confess.
In her mind, if she didnât acknowledge it, it had nothing to do with her.
Nicole, unwilling to waste more time, pocketed her recorder, giving Lauren a pointed Look.
âIâm not here to argue, but consider this a warning.
If you torment my friend again, Iâll ensure your spiteful words go viral.
Everyone in Ardlens will hear this recording and know you as the shameless mistress.
Prepare to be despised by everyone!â

âHow dare you!â Lauren fumed.
With tears in her eyes, she turned to Mitchel and pleaded, âMitchel, sheâs defaming me.
I canât let her take this recording away.
â
âJust admit youâre scared.
Stop playing the victim,â Nicole retorted with a look of contempt.
âStay away from Raegan and this recording wonât see the light of day.
â
Nicole realized that, with the Dixon Groupâs influence, the recording might never go public even if she spent a fortune.
But just possessing it could serve as a deterrent, keeping Lauren from harassing Raegan.
âDonât worry.
Raegan has no interest in Mitchel,â Nicole added, her lips curling into a smile.
âA man who lets his wife lose their child to save his ex-girlfriend? Raegan will never want him back.
â
These words visibly unsettled Mitchelâs previously indifferent demeanor.
Nicole felt a surge of satisfaction.
