Letting out another maniacal laugh, Lauren swung the knife in and said, "Found you!"

The owner of the black shoes frantically moved back, startled by the knife.

Lauren swung the knife again, but this time, she aimed at the door.

Again and again, she stabbed the door with the knife like a mad woman.

"Wait!" Raegan's trembling voice finally came from within. "What do you want? You're making a mistake. Do you want to go to jail?"

Once again, Lauren let out a bone-chilling Laugh. Then, she spat, “My face and my body are completely ruined! Do you think I'm afraid of going to jail?"

After a pause, Raegan's firm voice came from inside the booth. "You had set me up first, remember? Besides, I'm not the one who ruined your face or your body. You should find the person responsible for 5, Lauren stared at the knife marks at the door with her chin tucked toward her neck and a mad glint in her eyes. "The person responsible for my suffering is Mitchel!"

Hearing this, Raegan felt a twinge of surprise. She couldn't accept that Mitchel was capable of such a thing. “Back then, Mitchel didn't completely push you into the fire, right?" she ventured.

"He left me an escape route that was worse than that," Lauren spat.

"I only had two choices. Either walk into the fire or go to the police station. What other choice did I have?"

Her eyes were full of resentment. Clenching her teeth, Lauren continued, "I was an esteemed lady of Ardlens, leading a life envied by all. How could I possibly end up in jail? Even death would have been better!"

Just recalling the scene filled her with newfound fury, causing her to stab the door again. “It's all because of you, you bitch! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Until Mitchel met you, he was never so heartless toward me!"

As she spoke, Lauren crazily stabbed the door over and over again, filling Raegan's heart with fear.

Raegan managed to convince Lauren, “Lauren, didn't you end up like this because of your own choices? You can't blame anyone else! Having the waiter doctor my drink won't hold you behind bars forever. Even if you turn yourself in, you won't be sentenced for long. You were given a chance, but you chose the wrong path, allowing your face and body to be ruined. Who can you blame but yourself?"

However, Raegan's words did not sound like consolation to Lauren.

Rather, they hit Lauren's sore spots one by one, driving her further to the verge of insanity.

With hatred in her eyes, Lauren shouted, "I blame you! It's all your fault! My life was great before you appeared. Mitchel loved and spoiled me. It's all because of you that I lost everything!"

Lauren stared at the door with loathing, as if she was staring right at Raegan's face, and continued, "You have to die. You should have followed your damn grandmother and that infant to their graves!"

From the other side of the door came Raegan's icy voice. "Lauren, are you the one behind the deaths of my grandmother and child?"

"Do you remember now, Raegan?" Lauren's face contorted with madness, a twisted sneer curling her lips. "Then you ought to know your damn grandmother and your child have no place in this world!"
