Chapter: 83
Raegan's words irritated Lauren to the bone. Just as Lauren was about to charge at Raegan, she froze.
"Ah!" Lauren screamed. Somehow, the cup of coffee in front of her spilled on her body and hands. She looked a mess.
Raegan's eyes narrowed. This crazy woman was up to no good again!
Lauren blinked hard to force out tears. She looked at Raegan pitifully and said, "I have been nothing but nice to you, Raegan. I really don't get why you hate me. But if you want to vent your anger, just hit me. I promise not to fight back.”
Suddenly, she held her head and staggered back as if she lost all her strength.
“Lauren!"
A tall figure appeared out of nowhere and caught her in the nick of time.
“What happened?" Frowning, Mitchel asked coldly.
Raegan wanted to say something. But before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted when Lauren suddenly reached out her scalded hand and leaned against Mitchel's arms. Lauren cried pitifully and said between sobs, "Mitchel, don't blame Raegan. I understand how she feels. She thinks I took you away, so she is angry. But I know It's just a misunderstanding."
When Mitchel heard this, he couldn't help turning to Raegan. He looked at her with scrutiny in his eyes and asked, "Is it true?"
But Raegan didn't answer his question. She just looked at them expressionlessly. She found them so ridiculous that she wanted to laugh out loud.
Lauren's performance was so clumsy. If Mitchel was only fair in his judgment, he could find out the truth by simply checking the surveillance video. However, it didn't cross his mind. He just believed Lauren and chose to question her.
Since he had already made his judgment, why bother asking her? Did he expect her to confirm Lauren's lies?
Or did he want to give her a chance to explain her side before sentencing her?
As these thoughts came to her mind, she only felt more disgusted.
She wished the floor opened up and swallowed them.
Raegan didn't want to waste time with them anymore. So she sneered coldly, turned around, and left without saying anything.
When Mitchel saw this, the creases on his forehead deepened. His feet unconsciously moved as if he wanted to catch up with her and stop her.
However, he felt Lauren's grip on his waist tightened. It was only then that he came back to his senses. He looked down at Lauren and saw her pale and pitiful face. Lauren said weakly, “Mitchel... I...
I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you..."
