“No, it's not true... It's all fake...
” Lauren stuttered, her complexion paler than a sheet of paper.
She raised her eyes to Mitchel's flawless visage. He seemed unchanged, yet to
Lauren, he appeared foreign and frightening.
“Fake?” His Lips curled into a semblance of a smile, but his grip on her jaw was
unyielding.
“Are you claiming your illness is a fake, or perhaps this entire abduction as well?”
Lauren's eyes widened at Mitchel’s words, and her mouth gaped open.
She was in utter disbelief.
All the while, she firmly believed that her plan was foolproof.
Whether it was her fake illness or the kidnapping scheme, she ensured there
were no loopholes.

So, she thought Mitchel must be lying to her, trying to fish something out of her.
She convinced herself that it must be the case.
Lauren endured the excruciating pain and continued to play dumb.
Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall.
“Mitchel, what are you talking about? I don’t understand...”
“Oh, really? Then, I will make you understand. The drug you took in was
delivered to you from Swynborough. Also, in the area where your kidnappers’ car
crashed and exploded off the cliff, Matteo found a car passing by at that time.
The dash cam footage clearly showed that the car lost control because the
brakes malfunctioned. Well, several people risked their lives to demand ten
million dollars, yet the car they drove away was with faulty brakes.”
Mitchel paused. Then, he asked calmly, “Lauren, do you really think you can treat
me like a fool and lie to me just because those men are dead?”
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.
