Chapter 273 The Child Is Not Mine

The familiar remarks made Raegan want to laugh.

But she held back and listened quietly.

Mitchel stared at her intensely and confessed, "The child in Lauren's belly is not
mine."

Raegan sneered, “Mitchel, am I that stupid in your eyes? If the child isn't yours,
why do you still keep her by your side?"

"Yes, it's true that I took her out of the mental hospital.But I didn't do it out of pity
or sympathy.I have a reason for doing it,"

Mitchel explained.

Mitchel paused and added, "One day, I will tell you everything.But for now, please
just trust me.You will know when the right time

comes."

Unfortunately, Raegan was not convinced by his clumsy explanation.

She even wanted to laugh.

She looked at him expressionlessly.

It seemed she wasn't even worthy of his decent excuse.

Well, whatever.

When Mitchel noticed Raegan's silence, he immediately panicked.

He held her hand and said, "I will not divorce you.Please stop thinking about
leaving me.Do you understand?"

In the past few days, he didn't go home because he was afraid he wouldn't be
able to control his emotions.

He had been spending the nights at the company.He had sleepless nights,
thinking about Raegan.

He couldn't accept that she wanted to leave him.

And the reason why he lost his mind that day was that she wanted to leave
secretly.

Mitchel gave it careful thought.

In the end, he decided to accept the child in Raegan’s belly.

He couldn't afford to lose her, so he could only accept everything of her.
Besides, he still hoped that the child might be his.

When it came to Raegan, Mitchel had been impulsive several times before.

But this time, he couldn't just believe Henley's one-sided words.

After all, he knew how cunning and deceitful Henley was.

So, he would accept Raegan's child no matter what.

He would sincerely comfort her and help her let go of her worries.

He would make her confess the truth about the child one day.

However, anger surged in Raegan’s heart when she heard Mitchel's words.
She immediately exploded.

"Mitchel, haven't you been the one who lied to me all along?"

She thought this so-called contractual marriage was only his way of trapping her.
Mitchel said frankly, “I didn't lie to you.l admit that I had selfish motives when I
remarried you.But even if my grandfather wasn't

involved, I still wanted to remarry you.So, let's just spend our days together.Don't
overthink things.No matter what, I won't let you

go."

Raegan forced herself to be numb upon hearing his words.She knew that if she
got too emotional, Mitchel would lock her up

again.

And he would always keep a close watch on her.She felt bitter in her heart.

But she forced a smile and said in a low voice, "All right. Take me to see Nicole
first."

Mitchel was stunned by Raegan's reaction.

He looked into her eyes and asked again, "Raegan, what did you just say?"
Raegan put on a calm smile and replied softly, "l won't leave.” "Raegan..." Mitchel
held her tightly in his arms. His heart was filled with joy.He was like a happy child
who had retrieved the most precious toy he had lost. "Raegan, you must trust me
about Lauren's matter.l won't lie to you." Raegan stared blankly out of the car
window and said softly, "I trust you."

But deep down, she wouldn't place trust in him anymore.

The Raegan who always chose to trust Mitchel in the past no longer existed.
Mitchel felt something was wrong.

He couldn't believe Raegan would change so easily.

Raegan did her best to suppress the emotions in her heart.

She said in a low voice, "Can you take me to see Nicole quickly?"

Knowing what happened to the Lawrence family, Mitchel couldn't help frowning.
He focused on the road and drove Raegan to the mourning hall.

Raegan saw Nicole sitting on one side of the mourning hall.

The stream of guests came and went, but Nicole remained motionless.

It was as if she didn't see anything.

She sat there like a lifeless doll.

Jarrod was also there, but he kept a distance from Nicole.

He sat on the other side, far from the main hall.

Nicole always got agitated and lost control of herself when she saw Jarrod.
Jarrod was afraid of distressing her more, so he stayed as far away from her as
possible while watching her. Raegan didn't even spare a glance at Jarrod even
when Mitchel chatted with Jarrod. Raegan went straight to the main hall. After
paying respect to the dead, Raegan walked to Nicole and sat beside her. Raegan
called out softly, "Nicole..." Raegan realized she was at a loss for words. Her
tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She could only reach out and hug
Nicole tightly. Raegan's soft voice touched Nicole's numbed heart. Finally, Nicole
lost control of the emotions she had been suppressing. She broke down. She
hugged Raegan back tightly and sobbed in Raegan's arms. Both Raegan and
Nicole cried uncontrollably as if no one else was around. The depression and
pain were just too much for them to bear. After pouring out their emotions,
Raegan helped Nicole to the other side of the hall to rest. Mitchel and Jarrod
didn't follow them.They knew that Raegan and Nicole had a lot to talk about in
private. As soon as Raegan and Nicole stepped aside, Raegan asked at once,
"Nicole, why did your dad commit suicide?" Nicole sighed. "Because of the
company.”

Raegan asked again, "So, what do you plan to do next?"

Nicole shook her head.She honestly didn't know what to do.

Dora was ill at home, and she had to handle all the arrangements for her father's
funeral alone.

Her head was a mess.

Until now, she still couldn't accept the fact that things had turned this way.
Nicole hoped everything was just a nightmare.

When she woke up, she could still find Wesson resting at home.

She, Dora, and Wesson would still live as a happy family of three.

They would be together until the end.

However, everything in front of her reminded Nicole of the truth.

No matter what, it was no longer possible for them to be together.

Raegan and Nicole hugged each other and cried for a while, hoping to pour out
the heaviness in their hearts.

Raegan stayed for a while to accompany Nicole.

When she was about to leave, she remembered something.

She asked Nicole, "Nicole, do you have your phone with you? Can I borrow it? I
just need to make a phone call."

Nicole handed her phone to Raegan without hesitation.

Nicole was surprised that Raegan couldn't even use her phone.

Raegan must be having a hard time under Mitchel's watchful eyes.

After Raegan left, Nicole returned to her seat and sat there again motionlessly.
The sun had set, and the sky was getting dark outside.

At this moment, an unexpected guest arrived at the mourning hall. Jamie walked
in with a bouquet of roses in her hand. She wore a black wool coat. Jarrod
happened to go out to smoke, so they didn't meet. Jamie walked straight into the
mourning hall, intending to pay respect. But she was suddenly stopped by a
furious roar, "Get out of here!" Although there were only a few people in the
mourning hall at this moment, Jamie was a little embarrassed after being shouted
at. She said angrily, “Nicole, I came here out of goodwill to pay respect to your
father.How can you be so rude to your guest?” Nicole glared at Jamie with red
eyes. She said through clenched teeth, "You are not welcome here. Your
presence will only tarnish my father's name and disturb his

peaceful rest.”

"Peaceful rest?"

Jamie smiled sarcastically and retorted, "Do you really think your father can rest
peacefully?”

Nicole no longer wanted to waste her strength arguing with Jamie.So, she said
coldly, "Are you going to leave on your own, or

should I have the security guards drag you out?"

"Whoa, you are so fierce," Jamie mocked.

“Look who's driving me away.Ah, it's Miss Lawrence from the bankrupt Lawrence
Group.Are you threatening me? Oh, I'm so

scared."Nicole clenched her fists tightly.She wished she could tear Jamie apart
right at this moment.

"Nicole, I'm actually here to tell you some good news," Jamie added with a smile
before Nicole could say anything.

"Don't you find it strange that your mother hasn't shown up even though your
father is dead?" Nicole asked vigilantly, “What are

you talking about?"

"Aren't you informed that your mother fell ill because of sadness and
depression?"

Nicole stared at Jamie, feeling uneasy.She had a hunch in her heart, but she
wasn't sure about it.

Someone from the company informed her that Dora was sick and was resting at
home.

"If you have something to say, spit it out now," Nicole demanded.

"Why are you so impatient?" Jamie asked softly.

"I went to the hospital today to visit someone, and I heard that your mother was
admitted to that hospital.”

Then, Jamie leaned closer to Nicole and showed the video she had taken.
"Your mother fell down the stairs and suffered a severe intracranial
hemorrhage. The doctors had already declared there was no

hope of saving her.She will never wake up again.”

The news came like a bolt from the blue to Nicole.

She was told that Dora was resting at home.

How could Dora be lying in the hospital, unconscious?

"Congratulations! You lost both parents in just one day!"

It was the most vicious congratulations, but Jamie said it in her gentlest voice.
"Don't you want to celebrate? Both of your parents can now rest in peace.lt
should be a double celebration, right? They will no

longer suffer.You will have to deal with everything alone,"

Jamie continued talking complacently without noticing the change in Nicole's
expression.

"I personally handed over your father's contract. didn't expect to take away two
lives in one go.Unfortunately, I arrived late.l

didn't witness your father's tragic fall. What a pity!"

Nicole's eyes were now bloodshot.

She glared at Jamie as if she wanted to swallow Jamie alive.

Her parents could have been enjoying their old age in peace.

But because of Jamie, they were now separated forever.

And Jamie still had the nerves to show up here and ridicule her father's wake.
This was so unfair, and she would manage to set the records straight.

"You are such a vicious woman! Go to hell!"

Suddenly, an unprecedented power burst out from Nicole's body.

She ruthlessly banged Jamie's head against the pillar with all her might.

The next second, horrifying and agonizing screams filled the mourning hall.
"Ah! Ah!"
