The next second, Raegan seized Lauren's wrist and gave her another slap to her face.

Raegan might not be the strongest, but she was more than a match for the pampered and frail Lauren.

With her eyes narrowed, Raegan declared, "Try setting me up again, and I swear I'll never let you go."

As she pondered the events of that fateful day, she could not shake the feeling that Lauren had something to do with it.

Maybe Lauren had found out about her pregnancy and plotted with Tessa to get rid of both her and the baby.

That being the case, showing weakness in front of Lauren would be like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It would just make Lauren think she was a pushover and embolden Lauren to strike again.

With tears streaming down her face from the stinging slap, Lauren feigned innocence.

"What are you even talking about? When have I ever set you up?"

"Take this as a warning," Raegan said with a sneer.

"Leave me be, and I'll do the same thing. But cross me again, and I'll drag you down in flames."

The malice in Raegan's eyes sent a shiver down Lauren's spine.

Having made her point, Raegan shook her hand fiercely and didn't want to tangle with Lauren anymore.

Just as Raegan was about to leave, Lauren lunged at Raegan, intent on clawing the latter's face. But before Lauren could make a move, she noticed Mitchel approaching.

Lauren instantly loosened her grip, and Raegan seized this opportunity to push Lauren away.

“Ah! No!" Lauren screamed.

The next moment, the back of her head hit the railing with a thud.

It looked Like Lauren was hurt pretty badly.

Raegan turned around and found Mitchel walking their way.

His gaze was icy and filled with silent judgment.

Lauren seized the moment to play the victim. Fresh tears poured from her eyes, and she cried, "It hurts, Mitchel..."
