Just yesterday, Kyle revealed that Matteo was investigating him. Upon learning this, Lauren bribed him with two million dollars and promised him the cash if he took the fall. On no account could he tell the truth.

Earlier, before Mitchel showed up, Jocelyn had given Lauren an emergency escape plan. If things went south, shift the blame onto Jocelyn.

Lauren had brushed it off at that time. She assumed Mitchel was just suspicious of a fake paternity test. How bad could the situation be?

Previously, a few tears and Mitchel would surely forgive her. But now, it was a different case. Mitchel was deadly serious.

Left with no choice but to follow the plan, Lauren masked her nervous voice with sobs and pretended to reprimand Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, how could you be so vicious? Mitchel has always treated me well. He wouldn't abandon me..."

"My lady, I was out of mind back then. Please, take good care of yourself from now on..."

Their collective misery tugged at the heartstrings of anyone listening.

With teary eyes, Lauren turned to Mitchel and pleaded, "Mitchel, Jocelyn's been with me for years and has always been diligent. Could you find it in your heart to forgive her just this once?"

Mitchel shifted his gaze back to Lauren and asked back, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Lauren was caught off guard. She was unsure what Mitchel already knew, so she could only feign innocence.

"Mitchel, I've never hidden anything from you. Don't you know me inside and out?”

"If you say so." Mitchel withdrew his gaze and turned to Matteo.

"Matteo, leave the rest to the police."

With anxiety written all over her face, Lauren blurted out, "Mitchel, wait..."

Mitchel cut her off with an icy stare.

"Lauren, people should pay for their mistakes."

Lauren was stunned and silenced by his cold gaze.

At this moment, she was brimming with hatred. Raegan was unscathed despite all her schemes, while she was losing a trusted servant.

Jocelyn's loyalty to her was beyond doubt. Jocelyn's family were puppets of the Murray family.

Without such a loyal servant, it would be hard to carry out her schemes in the future.

Once Matteo took Kyle and Jocelyn away and the tension deflated, Lauren felt herself on the verge of breaking down. She lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Mitchel, wetting his shirt with her tears.

"Jocelyn's gone. Mitchel, you're the only one I have."

Mitchel's frigid eyes met hers as he gently pushed her away.

"Lauren, I've arranged for you to see a specialist in Swynborough. He can provide a complete cure for what ails you."
