GoodReadHope You Two Assholes Stay Together Forever Before Lauren could react, Nicole asked, "Why did Raegan hit you if you claim
she did?" Lauren's expression froze, a wave of discomfort washing over her.
In a flustered tone, she responded, "I already told you she's mentally unstable.
How could I possibly know what goes on in her mind...” Nicole's smile vanished, her voice dropping to a whisper.
"But you called her a stray dog left behind by Mr. Dixon.
You branded her child a bastard, deserving of death, and labeled her a curse on her entire family...” Nicole recounted each
sentence with precision.
Hearing this, Lauren's face clouded over, and she burst out, "That's absurd!" She had once badmouthed Raegan, thinking it
remained secret, never expecting her words to reach Nicole.
Unperturbed, she believed she was beyond reproach, especially in the absence of any proof.
Nicole scoffed.
"Don't rush.
I haven't finished.
You boasted about altering Raegan's paternity and pregnancy reports.
Mitchel knows, yet he turns a blind eye.” Mitchel’'s expression remained stoic, yet there was an undeniable iciness in his
demeanor.
"Is this true, Lauren?” Mitchel inquired.
"I never said such things," Lauren quickly denied it, tears brimming in her eyes.
She turned to Mitchel, her voice soaked in sorrow.
"Mitchel, I swear ] didn't.
Nicole's slandering me." Facing Nicole, Lauren continued in a wounded tone, "I bear you no grudge, Nicole.
I know you're doing this for Raegan.
I could sue you for slander, but since you're her friend, I'll let it pass this time.
Just remember to stay in your lane and avoid framing others.” Nicole felt a surge of revulsion.
Lauren's words, seemingly generous, cleverly painted Nicole as a slanderer acting on Raegan's behalf.
Refusing to entertain Lauren's tactics, Nicole said dismissively, "Lauren, your confidence stems from the lack of cameras in the
"Let's see if this convinces you.” Lauren's face contorted with panic at the sight of it.
The next instant, her voice resonated clearly from the recording.
Clear as day, it broadcast Lauren’s voice, echoing Nicole's earlier words, and even more venomous remarks Nicole hadn't
mentioned.
Suddenly, Lauren felt a jolt, as if struck by lightning.
Observing Lauren's ashen face, Nicole grinned and remarked, "What a twist of fate! I had just left when you arrived, only to
realize my voice recorder was missing.
Returning to pick up the recorder, I overheard your delightful remarks in it.” Nicole habitually carried a voice recorder, intending to
extract some information from Jarrod.
Unexpectedly, during her visit to Raegan's ward, the recorder slipped under the bed as she reached for her phone, accidentally
turning on.
Lauren entered Raegan's ward soon after her departure, which was fortunate as the recorder's battery life was limited.
"No! You faked all these!" Quivering, Lauren clutched at Mitchel’s sleeve, imploring, "Mitchel, don't listen to her.
She's still slandering me.
These are fabrications, a result of Raegan's jealousy.
It's a plot to hurt me through Nicole, I'm sure of it!” Lauren vehemently denied her words and asserted she was being framed.
"Jealous of you?" Nicole responded with a smirk, "Don't you own a mirror? Is Raegan envious of your overdone hyaluronic acid
treatments, your talent for enticing married men, or perhaps jealous that you were born to be a bitch?” Each of Nicole’s words
pierced Lauren's heart like a dagger.
Had Mitchel not been here, Lauren would have lunged at Nicole in fury.
At this moment, Mitchel disengaged his clothes from Lauren's grip and gazed down at Lauren.
"Lauren, do you recall my previous warning?" He was referring to the caution he had issued the night when he handed Jocelyn
over to the police.
A wave of coldness swept over Lauren, sending shivers down her spine.
Pinching herself, tears began to flow freely.
"Mitchel, it's not true.
Don't trust her.
She must be helping Raegan frame me..." "Ha-ha!" Nicole scoffed.
"Should there be any doubts, I wouldn't hesitate to have an expert verify the recording." "Shut up!" Lauren snapped in anger.
"You're best friends, right? Obviously, you'd collaborate to set me up!" Lauren steadfastly refused to confess.
In her mind, if she didn't acknowledge it, it had nothing to do with her.
Nicole, unwilling to waste more time, pocketed her recorder, giving Lauren a pointed look.
"I'm not here to argue, but consider this a warning.
If you torment my friend again, I'll ensure your spiteful words go viral.
Everyone in Ardlens will hear this recording and know you as the shameless mistress.
Prepare to be despised by everyone!" "How dare you!" Lauren fumed..Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
With tears in her eyes, she turned to Mitchel and pleaded, “Mitchel, she's defaming me.
I can't let her take this recording away.” "Just admit you're scared.
Stop playing the victim,” Nicole retorted with a look of contempt.
"Stay away from Raegan and this recording won't see the light of day.” Nicole realized that, with the Dixon Group's influence, the
recording might never go public even if she spent a fortune.
But Just possessing it could serve as a deterrent, keeping Lauren from harassing Raegan.
"Don't worry.
Raegan has no interest in Mitchel,” Nicole added, her lips curling into a smile.
"A man who lets his wife lose their child to save his ex- girlfriend? Raegan will never want him back.” These words visibly
unsettled Mitchel's previously indifferent demeanor.
Nicole felt a surge of satisfaction.
"You two go on.I hope you two assholes stay together forever.” With that, Nicole turned to leave.
Whether or not Mitchel believed her words was irrelevant.
She had little expectation for a blind man to suddenly see the truth.
It was better if Lauren stuck to Mitchel, leaving Raegan in peace.
Before Nicole had taken more than a few steps, a chilling voice called out from behind her.
"Miss Lawrence.” Mitchel's icy words followed.
"I expect you to act appropriately around Raegan.
If not, I'll have Jarrod spend more time dealing with you." Fury ignited within Nicole.
Mitchel, so cunning, had pinpointed her vulnerability.
No wonder Mitchel and Jarrod were friends.
They were all bastards.
Her face contorted with anger, Nicole shot back, "You're threatening me!"
