How she wished Raegan was dead in the car incident at that time.
That way, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Lauren pondered over it bitterly, wrongly blaming Raegan for everything.
As Raegan shifted her gaze toward Lauren, she couldn’t help but notice the fury burning in the latter’s eyes.
With a subtle smile, Raegan suggested, “Perhaps she should have a taste of the drink she made.”
It was such a straightforward and sophisticated solution.
Thoroughly impressed, Mitchel arched his eyebrows and ordered the waiter, “Make her a drink, the same as that day.”
“Okay. Eager to rectify his earlier mistake, the waiter hurriedly replicated the beverage within minutes.
Lauren’s expression transformed into one of horror. Frantically, she protested, No! You can’t do this to me! I won’t…”
The rest of her words were cut off as her mouth was pinched by a bodyguard, forcing the drink down her throat.
It was only when the cup was empty that the bodyguard loosened his grip on Lauren, letting her collapse to the ground like a dead fish.
The effects of the drug had not started to set in yet.
Lauren gazed up at Mitchel with a sense of despair. “What’s so good about this woman? I’ve loved you for so many years! Is your heart made of stone?”
Looking down at Lauren, Mitchel said coldly, “Do you remember what I said to you on your twentieth birthday?”
Lauren’s face turned pale as the memories flooded back.

On the night Lauren turned twenty, she had ended up on Mitchel’s doorstep, offering to give herself to him. But all she had gotten in return was his callous rejection.
With a furrowed brow, Mitchel reiterated, “I’ve never liked you. Not then, not now, not ever. If you had abandoned your wishful thinking and behaved yourself, you could have lived a life of luxury instead of ending up like this.”
Raegan found herself perplexed. It turned out that Mitchel really had no feelings for Lauren.
As for Lauren, she did remember every word Mitchel had uttered that night.
Yet, since her first encounter with Mitchel, Lauren found herself deeply attracted to him. It was not just his handsome and charming face that captivated her. She was entranced by his cold, noble, and mysterious temperament.
In the realm of business, Mitchel exhibited decisiveness, akin to a God casting judgment upon all living beings. His dual nature held a profound allure for Lauren.
Mitchel had become Lauren’s entire world since then, overshadowing any attraction she might have felt for others. Lauren firmly believed that Mitchel was the one who deserved her love the most.
However, at this moment, that enigmatic Mitchel bowed to Raegan, someone Lauren held in contempt.
Mitchel’s eyes and movements all said that he surrendered to Raegan, a declaration that completely broke Lauren.
Lauren couldn’t accept this. A mix of defiance and unwillingness twisted her pale face as she erupted in a vehement roar, “You treat this woman like a treasure, but do you even know what kind of life she led abroad for the last five years? Maybe she’s been with countless men. She’s no better than me!”
Lauren tried to smear Raegan, the rival she had contested against for so many years but still couldn’t win. If she was going down, she was determined to drag Raegan down with her. She would never let her adversary enjoy an easy life!
Scoffing, Lauren added a bitter twist, “By the way, she has a child.
I doubt the kid even knows who the father is!”
At this moment, Lauren was already drifting to a state of unconsciousness, clarity eluding her. All the vicious words hidden in her heart poured out at once.
With a maniacal laugh, Lauren continued, “Maybe that child is a mix of many men she slept with.”
Lauren was interrupted by a loud bang.

A transparent object was thrown at Lauren, barely missing her face before colliding against the wall behind her. The glass shattered into several fragments.
Lauren shivered with fear. The sound of the glass breaking had sobered her up a Little.
With an icy gaze, Mitchel said word by word, “Do you have a dead wish?”
Mitchel’s murderous gaze on Lauren was unmistakable. Under his gaze, Lauren shivered instinctively.
Lauren was drenched from head to toe with cold sweat, with skin that had gone pale. At the same time, the effects of the drug kicked in.
Before Lauren could utter another word, Raegan coldly strode toward Lauren.
Raising her hand without hesitation, Raegan delivered a powerful slap to Lauren’s face. Even after the striking contact, her anger persisted, causing her hand to tremble. “Shut the fuck up. You have no right to mention my daughter!”
