Naturally, Lauren wouldn't confess. She believed that denial would protect her, even if the truth was known.

With tears streaming down her face, Lauren said in a hoarse voice, “No, it wasn't me. Did Raegan say that, Mitchel? How could you trust her? You know she despises me..."

Hearing that, Raegan became more certain that Lauren was rotten to the death. She said bluntly, "I've come to realize it was you who had drugged me."

Lauren felt like she had walked into a trap. She stumbled and rushed desperately toward Raegan. “You bitch! You're trying to frame me!"

Before Lauren could touch Raegan, Raegan was startled by a loud sound.

Lauren had advised Cary to get laid with Raegan after drugging Raegan.

After directing the waiter to drug Raegan, Lauren deceitfully administered an aphrodisiac to Cary.

Lauren's intentions were hideous. Cary would fuck Raegan to death or Cary would fuck himself. She believed either outcome would be to her advantage.

Subsequently, Lauren handed the waiter three hundred thousand dollars, urging him to leave town discreetly. Given the waiter's modest salary, he complied with Lauren's demand and retreated to his hometown.

Lauren hadn't anticipated Mitchel uncovering her schemes.

Mitchel had his team investigate the restaurant staff who resigned post-incident, eventually tracing this very waiter. Now, the proof was undeniable.

Confronted by Mitchel, Lauren felt as if she were plunged into an icy abyss, his gaze paralyzing her with fear. She shivered, gasping for air.

However, Lauren continued to deny her actions, "No... It wasn't me...
