But Lauren hadn't silenced herself yet, yelling desperately, "I'll kill you, you bitch..."

Mitchel's cold and distant handsome face briefly turned darker. He turned and walked forward with his long and confident legs, one step at a time.

The light highlighted the shadows on Mitchel's sharp features, making Lauren feel she was facing death itself. Those dark, deep eyes seemed like a deep black hole as if they could overwhelm people in a moment.

Lauren trembled uncontrollably, but the drug twisted her into a strange form, resembling a dying snake. Her rotten lips kept trembling, barely managed to whisper, "Mitch... Ah! Ah!"

Mitchel's glossy black leather shoes stepped over Lauren's unharmed hand, the sole pressing down on all five fingers, crushing them with great force.

The surroundings became quiet.

Lauren could hear the sickening sound of her flesh and bones crunching, prompting her uncontrolled screams of desperation.

Only when Lauren's five fingers were nearly crushed flat did Mitchel's shoes finally lift away.

Mitchel, tall and wide, had a cold, merciless smile on his face as he looked down at Lauren. "You don't want to be taken away to the police station, right?"

Lauren's body shook violently, yet she had heard his words. The thought of staying away from the prison brought tears to her eyes as she nodded vigorously despite the pain.

She assumed as long as she wasn't imprisoned, she'd have an opportunity to return and make a comeback.

At this, a slight smile appeared on Mitchel's flawless face, giving off a cold yet charming vibe. "You've made your choice. I'll respect it."

Mitchel then turned and commanded, "Take her to the Velvet Alley."

At the mention of Velvet Alley, Lauren's hands and feet grew cold, and her eyes widened in horror! That was the gathering place for human trafficking. In Ardlens, that was the very one place where the rule of law didn't apply. Mitchel wanted to send her there, which was equivalent to Living hell!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Lauren was beyond scared, screaming like there was no tomorrow.

The bodyguards had already pulled her out quickly.

“Ah!" Lauren fought with all her might, leaving a trail of blood on the ground with her fingertips. It was too late. With her state, she couldn't fight against these strong bodyguards, having to accept her fate unwillingly.

Raegan could tell from Lauren's reaction that Velvet Alley was far from a good place. But Lauren had it coming.

At this time, someone rushed in from outside. There stood Victor, his face filled with worry. "Miss, are you alright?"

Raegan just shook her head, then noticed Matteo, who entered with Victor, half of his face swollen. She gave Victor a strange look.
