Raegan writhed in anguish, her voice trembling. "You staged your own kidnapping? Do you honestly think you can evade punishment after all the bad things you have done? The truth will come to light eventually. There is justice in Ardlens!"

"Who would dare to punish me?" Lauren chuckled, disdain evident in her smile.

She grew weary of Raegan's naive optimism, a smirk playing on her lips. "And do you know what became of the individuals I hired to stage my abduction?"

Before Raegan could respond, Lauren continued, “They took the bag of cash and planned to flee overseas, but I had meddled with the van's brake pads. ALL of them met their demise within this fucking country!"

Lauren mimicked a throat-slitting motion.

Lauren's lips curled into a malevolent smile. "You are going to meet your end tonight. As you descend into the abyss, you might even cross paths with them. You can't hold a candle to me, moron!"

After saying that, the sound of Lauren's departing footsteps echoed.

There was a brief silence for a moment.

Suddenly, a resounding crash filled the room as Lauren delivered a forceful kick. The dressing booth door was violently kicked open.

In the dimly lit dressing booth, Lauren caught sight of a figure with flowing hair. Her eyes instantly shimmered with malice and twisted intent.

With a surge of rage, Lauren brandished the dagger and charged forward, thrusting with all her might!

An onslaught of stabs followed!

With each plunge of the dagger, Lauren's jealousy fueled her relentless assault. How could Raegan be this lucky? How could Raegan be loved by Mitchel?

Lauren muttered through gritted teeth, "You deserve to die! Damn you!

Go to hell!"

Blood spattered across Lauren's face and body, obscuring her vision with red splatters. Everywhere she looked was a sea of red.

"Go to hell! Go rotten there! ALL you rotten scoundrels deserve to die!"

The hormones in her brain surged incessantly, the intense gratification rendering her unstoppable!

After Lauren plunged the dagger over a hundred times, exhaustion finally overtook her, and she collapsed to the ground, the dagger slipping from her grasp with a clutter.

Being weak, she had injected herself with the mysterious drug left by the enigmatic person earlier.
