As he spoke, he sounded calm and indifferent. It was as if he was only talking about what to eat for dinner.

But every word he said sent a chill down Lauren's spine. The cold penetrated deep down her bones.

Lauren shook her head desperately and said sorrowfully, "No, Mitchel.

It's not like that. Please let me explain..."

When a teardrop of Lauren's fell on Mitchel's wrist, he felt an inexplicable disgust surge in his heart. He pushed Lauren away violently.

Caught off guard, Lauren was pushed back forcefully.

There was a loud thud.

It turned out that her back hit the corner of the cabinet heavily.

The pain was so intense that she felt her spine shattered.

"Ah! Mitchel, it hurts. It hurts so much..."

Lauren's face contorted in pain. She was uglier than a monster.

But no matter how miserable she looked, she couldn't evoke an ounce of sympathy from Mitchel.

“Lauren, you know that I hated manipulative games the most. I tolerated you before because I thought I owed you my life. But now that I've paid off that debt, it's my turn to settle the score with you."

Actually, Mitchel had already suspected that Lauren had done something evil. But every time, he deluded himself into believing that she was still the innocent and kind-hearted girl in his memory.

Because of this, he didn't want to think about it or investigate further. But when the truth presented itself to him, his first thought was how he would face Raegan.

Raegan had told him countless times about Lauren's true color. But he always refused to believe her.

When Mitchel thought of Raegan's sadness and despair, he felt his heart was clenched by an invisible giant hand. It was too painful.

Raegan was hurt seriously because of him.

And it was his leaving her that caused her to lose their child.

That baby wasn't only Raegan's. It was also his.
