Tessa looked around the cramped room and frowned disgustedly. She had never
stayed in such a shabby place in her life. She couldn't imagine living here for a
few more days, so she had to find another way out.
She walked around the motel, trying to call everyone in the phonebook for help.
But unfortunately, she couldn't contact any of them. Her last resort was Lauren.
At this moment, Lauren's phone vibrated on the desk.
When Jocelyn checked it and saw who was calling, she asked Lauren, “My lady,
do you want to answer it?”
Lauren had just come back from outside, and she was still wearing a mask. She
was in a good mood, so she said, “Give me the phone.”

Jocelyn hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss Lloyd is in the doghouse. You'd
better not get involved with her anymore, lest Mr. Dixon finds out the secrets
between you two.”
But Lauren said, “It's okay. Put her on speaker.”
Jocelyn obediently followed Lauren's instructions. Then, Tessa’s miserable cry
sounded from the other end of the line.
“Lauren, can you lend me some money? All my cards are frozen now. I don’t
have cash with me at the moment. I promise you I will pay you back as soon as
possible.”
“Tessa, I really want to help you. But how can I send you money if your bank
account is frozen? I'm out of the country now.”
“You are out of the country?” Tessa murmured absent-mindedly.
“Yes. And I might stay here for a while.”
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Jocelyn went to the front door and looked at the peephole. And she was stunned
when she saw Tessa standing outside the door.
Tessa raised her hand and knocked. Then she said, “Lauren, open the door. I
saw you come in just now.”
A cold light flashed across Lauren's eyes when she heard Tessa’s words on the
phone. She hung up and asked Jocelyn to open the door.
Tessa looked terrible at the moment. And as soon as she stepped into Lauren’s
house, she cried hysterically, “Lauren, I have nothing now.
Are you going to abandon me, too? We both know what I have done is for you.
I've helped you a lot. I did many things for you, remember?”
Lauren had cried a lot in front of Tessa, slandering Raegan over and over again.
Moreover, Lauren had promised Tessa a large amount of money after marrying
Mitchel. Because of these, Tessa did many nasty things to Raegan and Raegan’s
grandmother under Lauren's instructions.
Lauren comforted Tessa softly, “Tessa, calm down. You are a member of the
Lloyd family. Your grandparents won't leave you alone.”
However, Tessa became even more emotional when she heard this.
“They don’t care about me anymore! They stopped giving me money. I can’t even
enter the Lloyd family’s house now.”
Tears streamed down her face.
“Lauren, you are the only one who can help me now. I can’t stay in the country
anymore. Please lend me some money. I want to go abroad for a while.”
