“It won't take long to have a bite, Mitchel. Can't you sit and eat with me?”
Mitchel stared at her contemplatively before relenting.
“I'll pass.
I had already grabbed something to eat at the hospital. You eat.
I'll sit with you.”
Internally, Lauren rejoiced. As she had anticipated, showing vulnerability melted
Mitchel’s resolve.

She knew Mitchel had a soft spot. Whenever she cried, he’d never hold her
responsible for anything.
After their meal, she signaled for the maid to bring tea, but Mitchel declined.
Clapping his hands, Matteo appeared, escorting a tied-up figure who was tossed
onto the courtyard ground.
Mitchel fixed his gaze on Lauren, his eyes filled with inquiry.
“Is there something you'd like to clarify, Lauren?”
Lauren’s mind whirred, momentarily paralyzed with confusion. She wasn’t sure
what Mitchel was getting at.
She faltered, “Mitchel, why is Kyle here? Did he do anything wrong?”
Mitchel arched an eyebrow and responded, “Kyle doctored the confidential
documents of the company and attempted to flee after being exposed.
Additionally, we found a substantial deposit in his bank account, which was
transferred from your account.”
“Teas I...” Lauren stammered, unable to find her words.
With a tap on the table from his slender fingers, Mitchel asked impassively, “So,
are you in on this or not?”
Panic flooded Lauren. Hadn’t she asked Kyle to leave the country? How was he
captured so quickly? Had he betrayed her?
Just then, Jocelyn rushed out of nowhere, throwing herself at Mitchel’s feet and
begging for mercy.
Tears streaming, she asserted, “Mr. Dixon, my lady had nothing to do with this.
I'm the one who's responsible.”
As she said this, she covertly winked at Lauren.
Lauren caught on. If Mitchel had been sure of her involvement, he wouldn't be
asking her about it.
In other words, he was still uncertain about it.
Feigning shock, she queried, “Jocelyn, what on earth have you done?”
“I paid off Mr. Palmer to alter the paternity test results for Raegan’s child. I just
couldn’t bear to see my lady suffer. Mr. Dixon, she had no part in this. You can
verify with Mr. Palmer if you'd like.”
