NovelEnglishDid You Get Involved In This Matter Aware that Mitchel was likely headed to see Lauren after leaving the ward, Raegan felt a
surge of frustration.
Since Mitchel didn't want to get a divorce, he should at least do something to show that he meant it.
He was well aware of her disdain for Lauren, yet he continued to hurt her by seeing Lauren over and over again.
Why, then, wouldn't he just end their marriage? "Don't make a fuss, Raegan.
] have important matters to attend to," Mitchel said evasively.
"So are you telling me that I shouldn't make a fuss when knowing you're going to see Lauren?" Mitchel fell silent.
He did intend to see Lauren, but not without a reason.
He was to demand answers from her.
"Mitchel, don’t treat me like a fool.
She's in love with you and wants to marry you.
You know it very well.
You don't grant me a divorce, yet you still keep seeing her.
Do you think it's fair for me?" "I've already told you I don't have any feelings for Lauren.
I visit her out of a sense of guilt, nothing more,” Mitchel retorted, lips tightly pressed.
"But do you realize the innocent girl you're so worried about isn't as virtuous as you think? She told me that I was nothing but a
plaything to you, a means to satisfy your lust.
That you didn't want to father my child, only hers.
My presence was just to keep your grandfather happy!” Raegan spat out.
Mitchel's face tightened, but he said nothing as if pondering whether Raegan was telling the truth.
Seeing his expression, Raegan's heart sank further into despair.
Mitchel would never believe her.
Lauren's audacity stemmed from the unwavering support she received from Mitchel.
After a heavy pause, Mitchel finally said, "Raegan, I know you've had issues with Lauren since what happened with your
grandmother, but I've interrogated Tessa.
She confirmed that Lauren wasn't involved.” "Stop it!" Raegan cut him off, fury nearly bubbling over, Mitchel should conclude that
she spoke ill of Lauren out of resentment.
Ridiculous! Raegan had hoped that laying it all out might make Mitchel harbor a bit of suspicion of Lauren's involvement and
offer her some semblance of justice.
It turned out that they were all her wishful thinking.
She had only embarrassed herself once more.
"Alright, it's allon me then.
How could | forget Lauren is as pure as an angel in your heart? How could she possibly do anything wrong? Clearly, I'm the one
His expression shifted.
"Lauren is just like a younger sister to me.
If it bothers you, I'll reduce my interactions with her in the future.” "Mr.
Dixon, forget about the future.
Let's focus on the present.
Can you stop seeing her now?” Without a second thought, Mitchel retorted, "Not today.
I have to meet her today.
I've got something crucial to ask her." Though Raegan had braced herself for this, she still felt her heart constricted, almost
leaving her breathless..
She slumped onto the bed, drained of the strength to utter another word.
She had no desire to continue this meaningless argument with Mitchel.
The feeling was mutual for Mitchel.
Their quarrels always left a bitter aftertaste.
"Just rest up here at the hospital, okay? Clear your mind.
I'll bring you home when you're better." With those parting words, Mitchel exited the ward, positioning two bodyguards at the
doorway.
Raegan lay exhausted on the bed, her energy seemingly drained away.
Mitchel was ever the authoritative, self-absorbed man.
Mitchel headed directly to Lauren's place after leaving the hospital.
The center of the Murray family business wasn't at home, and Lauren lived alone.
Mitchel was Lauren's only brother-like member here.
After a previous altercation with Jocelyn vexing Raegan, Lauren had pleaded with Mitchel to let Jocelyn stay.
He'd agreed then, but his patience was running thin now.
Mitchel entered Lauren's place with a steely countenance.
Lauren greeted him, her face bright but her body seemingly frail as she coughed from time to time.
"I've cooked some dishes for you, Mitchel.
Have a seat and try them.” Standing his ground, Mitchel responded, "No need.
I'll be leaving shortly." Lauren's smile faded into disappointment.
"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.
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." "I...
L.." 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 donee" "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." Mitchel's brow furrowed.
There was no need to question Kyle again.
He'd already tried, and Kyle had remained tight-lipped.
That's why he brought Kyle here.
It was to see if Lauren was involved in this.
Lauren glanced at Jocelyn with a mournful expression, saying, "Jocelyn, how could you do such a thing? You'd better apologize
to Mitchel right away and beg for leniency..." Jocelyn obediently began to kowtow, her forehead bleeding, her appearance
pitiable.
Mitchel intervened, "Enough.
This is a matter of corporate espionage.” Lauren's expression darkened at his words.
How could this matter be regarded as corporate espionage? It was merely about falsifying a paternity test.
Mitchel was just using this as a pretext.
He intended to put Jocelyn behind bars!
