Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 116

? ? ? ? ?

Knowing that Mitchel was probably heading to see Lauren after leaving the room, Raegan felt a wave of frustration. Since Mitchel didn't want a divorce, he should at least do something to show that he meant it.

He was well aware of his contempt for Lauren, but it still hurt him to see her over and over again.

Why, then, didn't he end his marriage?

“Don't make a fuss, Raegan. "I have important matters to attend to."

Mitchel said evasively.

Are you telling me I shouldn't make a fuss about you going to see Lauren?

Mitchel remained silent. I had been meaning to see Lauren, but not without a reason. I was going to demand answers.

«Mitchel, don't treat me like a fool. She is in love with you and wants to marry you. You know it very well. You won't give me a divorce and yet you continue to see her. Do you think it's fair for me?

«I've already told you that I have no feelings for Lauren. "I visit her out of a feeling of guilt, nothing more," replied Mitchel, with tight lips.

«But do you realize that the innocent girl you are so worried about is not as virtuous as you think? She told me that I was nothing more than a toy for you, a means to satisfy your lust. That you didn't want to father my son, only his. My presence was only to keep your grandfather happy. Raegan snapped.

Mitchel's face tightened, but he said nothing, as if he were weighing whether Raegan was telling the truth.

Seeing his expression, Raegan's heart sank even deeper into despair.

Mitchel would never believe her.

Lauren's boldness came from the unwavering support she received from Mitchel.

After a heavy pause, Mitchel finally said, "Raegan, I know you've had problems with Lauren since what happened with your grandmother, but I questioned Tessa. "She confirmed that Lauren was not involved."

"Enough!" Raegan cut him off, fury about to overflow.

Mitchel should conclude that she badmouthed Lauren out of resentment. Ridiculous.

Raegan had hoped that exposing everything might raise Mitchel's suspicions about Lauren's involvement and offer her some semblance of justice.

It turned out that it was all his illusions.

She had only embarrassed herself once again.

«Very well, it's all my fault then. How could I forget that Lauren is as pure as an angel in your heart? How could I do something wrong?

Clearly, I'm the one always at fault here!

“Raegan!” Mitchel rarely found Raegan so irrational. His expression changed.

«Lauren is like a little sister to me. If it bothers you, I will 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 thinking twice, Mitchel replied: “Not today. Today I have to meet her. I have to ask you something crucial.

Although Raegan had prepared herself for it, she felt her heart constrict, almost leaving her breathless.

He collapsed on the bed, lacking the strength to say another word. He had no desire to continue arguing with Mitchel.

Mitchel's feeling was mutual. Their fights always left a bitter aftertaste.

«Rest here in the hospital, okay? Clear your mind. I'll take you home when you're better."

With those parting words, Mitchel left the room, placing two bodyguards at the door.

Raegan lay exhausted on the bed, her energy seemingly drained.

Mitchel was always the authoritarian and self-absorbed man.

Mitchel headed straight to Lauren's house after leaving the hospital.

The center of the Murray family's business was not at home, and Lauren lived alone. Mitchel was Lauren's only fraternal member here.

After an earlier altercation with Jocelyn harassing Raegan, Lauren had begged Mitchel to let Jocelyn stay. He had agreed then, but his patience was wearing thin now.

Mitchel walked into Lauren's house with a steely face. Lauren greeted him, her face radiant but her body seemingly fragile, as she coughed from time to time.

«I have prepared some dishes for you, Mitchel. “Sit down and try them.”

Remaining firm, Mitchel replied: “No need. I'll be leaving soon."

Lauren's smile faded in disappointment.

«It won't be long before I have a bite to eat, Mitchel. Can't you sit down to eat with me?

Mitchel looked at her contemplatively before relenting.

"Passed.

I had already grabbed something to eat at the hospital. You eat.

"I will sit with you."

Internally, Lauren was glad. As he had predicted, showing vulnerability melted Mitchel's resolve.

He knew that Mitchel had a weak spot. Whenever she cried, he never held her responsible for anything.

After eating, he signaled to the maid to bring tea, but Mitchel refused.

Clapping his hands, Matteo appeared, escorting a bound figure that was thrown to the ground of the courtyard.

Mitchel looked at Lauren with questioning eyes.

Is there anything you want to clarify, Lauren?

Lauren's mind spun, momentarily paralyzed by confusion. She wasn't sure what Mitchel meant.

He hesitated: “Mitchel, why is Kyle here? Have you done something wrong?

Mitchel raised an eyebrow and replied, “Kyle tampered with confidential company documents and tried to flee after being discovered. "In addition, we found a significant deposit in his bank account, which was transferred from your account."

“Teas I…” Lauren stammered, unable to find the words.

With a tap of his slender fingers on the table, Mitchel asked impassively, “So, are you in on this or not?”

Panic filled Lauren. Hadn't he asked Kyle to leave the country? How had they captured him so quickly? Had he betrayed her?

Just then, Jocelyn came running out of nowhere, throwing herself at Mitchel's feet and begging for mercy.

With tears in his eyes, he stated: "Mr. Dixon, my wife has nothing to do with this. "I am responsible."

As he said this, he sneakily winked at Lauren.

Lauren noticed. If Mitchel had been sure of his involvement, he wouldn't be asking him about it.

In other words, he still wasn't sure.

Feigning surprise, he asked, "Jocelyn, what the hell have you done?"

"I bribed Mr. Palmer to alter the results of Raegan's son's paternity test. I couldn't stand to see my lady suffer. Mr. Dixon, she had nothing to do with this. You can check with Mr. Palmer if you wish.

Mitchel frowned. There was no need to question Kyle again.

He had already tried and Kyle had remained tight-lipped. That's why he had brought Kyle. It was to see if Lauren was involved in this.

Lauren looked at Jocelyn with a pained expression, saying, “Jocelyn, how could you do something like that? You better apologize to Mitchel immediately and ask him for mercy..."

Jocelyn obediently began to bend over, her forehead bleeding and looking pitiful.

Mitchel intervened: «Enough. “This is a matter of corporate espionage.”

Lauren's expression darkened at his words.

How could this matter be considered corporate espionage? It was simply a matter of falsifying a paternity test.

Mitchel was using it as a pretext. He intended to put Jocelyn behind bars!
