It was him! It's a setup!"

Lauren wildly accused the waiter, shouting, "He's trying to set me up!"

Caught off guard, the waiter replied, "She's a lying bitch! Luckily, I saved proof. I had set up a hidden camera in another chamber to capture photos of a celebrity who never showed up. Instead, it recorded our entire conversation."

While explaining, the waiter passed his phone to a man in black.

The man in black then gave the phone to Mitchel, and they played the recording aloud. It perfectly captured Lauren's instructions to the waiter.

Next, the waiter presented a small bag of powder, explaining, "This is the leftover drug she handed me."

With the evidence exposed, Lauren was at a loss for words. Her complexion turned ghostly white. She tried to escape to the door, but a bodyguard crushed her hand under his foot.

Mitchel's cold stare bore into Lauren, his face emotionless.

Lauren was seized with panic. Uncertain of her fate under Mitchel's intimidating look, her body shook uncontrollably.

Mitchel, without sparing Lauren another glance, turned to Raegan and inquired, "This is the woman who harmed you and Janey. What do you think her punishment should be?"

Mitchel's eyes emitted an unmistakable chill, devoid of any warmth when Lauren was mentioned.

If Lauren hadn't had Alexis backing her up back then, Mitchel would never have given Lauren the chance to make a comeback in Ardlens.

Rather than conducting herself with poise, Lauren made the choice to harm someone she shouldn't have. She deserved to suffer the consequences!

The unexpected cruelty Mitchel displayed toward Lauren left Raegan astonished. After all, Lauren was his first love, right?

When Lauren was thrown out of the restaurant the last time, Raegan thought Mitchel was just trying to make a point. But her perception shifted when the audible snap of Lauren's wrist broke through the air.

Raegan looked at Mitchel curiously and asked, “Don't you feel sorry for doing that to Lauren? Isn't she your first love?"

From the report Erick had gathered, Raegan had seen how Mitchel used to indulge Lauren.

Mitchel clarified in a low voice, "She's not."

Raegan blinked in disbelief. Lauren was not his first love? Who was he trying to fool?

Sporting a sly smile, Raegan asked, "So I can do anything to her?"
