Chapter 146: For the sake of dignity


    "Lauren, hurry up, the boat will be leaving soon."


    Watching the boat show signs of starting, Joshua rushed to urge Lauren.


    "It''ll be ready in a minute." Lauren, who was walking back and forth in the toilet, was also very anxious.


    Under Joshua''s repeated urging, she had to get out of the toilet.


    "Joshua, do you really n to go back? After we get outside, the two of us don''t have any financial


    resources, so life will fall into poverty."


    Lauren grabbed Joshua''s wrist, hoping she could get him to change his mind.


    "Snap."


    Joshua raised his hand and smacked Lauren hard in the face.


    "Lauren, are you thinking about Matthew, all this time, and you''re still thinking about that man?"


    Joshua''s eyes were glowing and his whole body radiated a fearful cruelty.


    Covering the painful cheek, Lauren''s phoenix eyes. Also filled with anger.


    "Joshua, you kill me. I''m not going to go with you, so die with that."


    "You''re noting with me?"


    Joshua''s emotions, which were already somewhat agitated, now turned even more agitated. The


    expression on his face slowly began to turn crazy and frighteningly crazy.


    "Joshua, you ...... what are you going to do?"


    Looking at the shiny knife, is step by step approaching their own, Lauren''s face, full of unease and fear.


    "If you don''te with me again, I don''t mind finishing you off here. The woman I can''t get for Joshua,


    I won''t let any other man get, especially not Matthew."


    Joshua took the knife and approached Lauren''s direction. The cold airing from the knife sent fear


    throughout Lauren''s body.


    "Help, help."


    Lauren turned around and ran to the back. joshua stepped closer. Seeing Joshua is about to catch up


    to Lauren, Lauren but at this time. Stepped on a stone. The whole person fell to the ground.


    By the time she tried to stand up, Joshua was already in front of him.


    "Still want to run?"


    Joshua crouched in front of Lauren, a sneer at the fear of Lauren, with a cold knife. In Lauren''s face,


    back and forth gestures.


    Lauren could clearly feel the chilling from the knife.


    "This face was onceplete and whole. Now I''ll scratch it so you can feel the pain of your skin once


    more."


    Joshua''s frantic eyes made Lauren even more uneasy.


    "Matthew, help. If you don''t show up again. I won''t let you go even if I''m a ghost." Lauren closed her


    eyes, ready to endure the pain of the knife shing at her face.


    "Ah."


    It was not Lauren who screamed, but Joshua with the knife.


    Lauren hurriedly opened her eyes, and when she saw Matthew standing in front of her, her face, tears


    of excitement flowed, and there was a feeling of being reborn after death.


    She stood up. Rushing straight into Matthew''s arms.


    "I knew that you would find me, that you woulde to my rescue."


    Lauren spoke excitedly.


    Matthew really felt like rubbing her inside him. But he couldn''t. He had to finish his n.


    He was restraining, restraining himself from getting as emotional as Lauren. Hands tightly clenched into


    fists, just not to hug Lauren.


    "Matthew, aren''t you d I''m alive?"


    Lauren, who hadn''t received any warmth for a long time, raised her eyes from Matthew''s arms, her


    eyes filled with disbelief.


    "Lauren, you disobeyed my orders again and actually nned to go meet with Nangong Lixin. Aren''t


    you taking me, your master, too far out of your mind?"


    The cold voice without any tenderness made Lauren''s whole body stunned, she did not expect that the


    man she had been looking forward to, brought herself, is such a heartless. Such coldness.


    "If you don''t care about me, why are you here? Why do I see concern and fear for me in your eyes? Tell


    me. You tell me."


    Lauren excitedly grabbed Matthew''s sleeve and shook it vigorously.


    "Because you are my pawn, an important person for me to find the evidence of Nangong Lixin, do you


    think I can let you die?"


    Matthew''s words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Lauren''s body hard, and Lauren felt the strength


    that supported her whole body was instantly drained. The pain in her body was a million times more


    painful than the one Joshua hit.


    The powerlessness made Lauren fall straight to the ground. She only felt a ckness in front of her


    eyes and instantly lost consciousnesspletely.


    When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was lying on the big bed in her room, looking


    at the familiar environment, but Lauren had a feeling that she didn''t want to wake up.


    Lauren let out a muffled grunt as she struggled to sit up from the big bed and rubbed her somewhat


    sore forehead.


    God, the head really hurts too much, no, I have to go see my dad, I haven''t seen his old man in thest


    few days, he will be anxious.


    Lauren, thinking about this, struggled to get out of bed. As soon as her feet hit the floor, she felt a


    dizzying sensation. She almost fell to the floor.


    "Miss, why are you up? The body won''t be able to take it."


    Wang''s mother rushed to Lauren''s front and carefully helped her lie down on the bed.


    The reason why she was kidnapped by Joshua was because she drank a bowl of soupced with


    medicine, and the one who brought the soup to her was the false-hearted Wang''s mother.


    "Wang Ma. That is, if you are Ling Xue''er''s person, why do you have to pretend to be in front of me? I,


    Lauren, am not a fool and won''t fall for your trick anymore."


    Ling Xue''er''s words made Wang Ma''s face weak. Although the young master had allowed himself to


    return to the mansion, but in her heart, she had always had a feeling of unease. It was as if the young


    master was going to find out something through himself.


    "Miss. I don''t understand what you mean. I only know that now I will serve you. Until you give birth to


    the young master''s child."


    "Children?"


    Wang Ma''s words made Ling Xue''er''s face, instantly turn pale. The hand covered her stomach.


    "Wang Ma, do you mean to say that I have a baby in my belly?"


    Wang Ma nodded.


    "Yes, the doctor has just checked. The baby inside your belly is one month old." Lauren couldn''t believe


    her ears.


    She stood up and pushed Wang Ma away despite her stopping her. Walked out of the room on her


    own.


    "Matthew, where are you?"


    Lauren, running down the hall, shouted Matthew''s name. She had to hear Matthew tell himself the


    news herself.


    After half a day of shouting, only to see Matthew with a smile on his face, hugging Ling Xueer, walked


    out of the room.


    "Why are you two together?"


    Lauren looked at the intimate Matthew and Cheryl Ling with a painful face. From the hickey on Cheryl


    Ling''s neck, Lauren could be sure that they had just had a wild romp.


    "Lauren, what are you yelling for in the middle of the night? Do you know that it will disturb my time with


    Matthew?"


    Ling Xue''er deliberately shows her sweetness.


    Lauren took a deep breath. Slowly, he came to Matthew''s face.


    "Matthew. let me ask you, am I carrying your child inside my belly?"


    "Yes, you are having a baby, but whether this baby is Matthew''s or not, who knows now, I have so


    many men, it might be that Nangong Lixin''s."


    Matthew did not say anything, but on the contrary, Ling Xueer, who was beside him, looked at Lauren


    with disdain.


    "Ling Xue''er, get lost, it''s not you I''m asking."


    The icy aura emanating from Lauren''s surroundings made Ling Xue''er a bit stunned and somewhat


    uneasy as she hid behind Matthew''s back.


    "Matthew, tell me, am I having a baby?"


    Matthew put his arm around Ling Xue''er and sat down on the sofa to the side.


    "That''s right, you are having a baby. But this baby, as Cher said, is not mine still needs to be checked,


    tomorrow I will personally take you to the hospital for a checkup, if if it proves that this baby is mine, I


    will let you have this baby, once it is not my Matthew''s seed, I promise to show you, what betrayal feels


    like."


    The raging suspicion in Matthew''s eyes seemed to swallow everything up.


    Emotionally broken Lauren, like a madman, rushed to Matthew''s front, picked up the teacup on the


    table and smashed it at him, she wanted to smash the disdain for herself off his face.


    Matthew quickly dodged away, but the Ling Xueer beside him was not so lucky. By the time she found


    the cup, the cup had already smashed on her body, and all the tea inside was poured on her body.


    "Ah."


    Ling Xue''er screamed in terror, her face pale as she cursed at Lauren.


    "Matthew, you saw it all, that''s how she bullied you, her fiancée."


    Ling Xue''er flung herself into Matthew''s arms with a resigned look on her face.


    Looking at the woman in his arms, Matthew''s face. Raised a sneer.


    "Wang Ma, take her back to her room, no one is allowed to approach her room without my order, plus


    no one is allowed to let her out of the room."


    Wang''s mother hurriedly pulled Lauren, and headed for the room upstairs.


    "Wang Ma, let go."


    Lauren shook off Wang''s mother''s hand and ran to Matthew with an angry face.


    "Matthew, are you going to hold me captive again like you did before?"


    The pain on Lauren''s face made Matthew''s heart sh with a touch of pain, but when he thought of the


    information he had gotten, he couldn''t bring himself to be soft, if he let this woman go so easily, then his


    mother in heaven would not be at peace.


    Matthew''s thin lips curled into a smile.


    "Lauren, you are going to pay for what your mother has done. Remember, if you don''t do what I ask,


    you will soon get the news that your dad has left this world."


    "Matthew, how can you be so heartless? Does the three years of waiting and waiting have no meaning


    for you? Three years of bitter love, can not exchange a little sympathy for you? Three years of


    dedication. Can''t counteract what my mother once did?"


    Lauren lost control of herself and yelled at Matthew, the pain inside her could not be described in


    words.


    Matthew slowly walked up to Lauren and hooked her chin with his long index finger.


    "For what I do not care, I Matthew have no interest, from now on, you must depend on my orders to do


    things, or wait for the consequences that you can not bear."


    Lauren clenched her lower lip in order to keep herself from rushing to Matthew''s face.


    "Matthew, you''ve done it again. Once again you have struck a blow to my fragile heart, before it was for


    my mother and I obeyed any request you made. Now you threaten me with my father, and once again I


    am a ything in your hands. Okay, I will do what you want, but I tell you, when the day the baby is


    born, it will be the day of my Lauren''s death, and even if I die, I will make you live in guilt for the rest of


    your life and never know what it means to smile."


    The desperation and disinterest in life under Lauren''s eyes made Matthew very angry and froze the


    smile on his face.


    "Let go, Matthew, on the count of three, if you don''t let go, right here, right now, is the time of my


    death."


    Looking at Matthew''srge hand on his wrist, Lauren gave a coldugh.


    "One."


    "Two."


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    The hatred under Lauren''s eyes struck Matthew''s heart, and he couldn''t help but wonder if it was true


    that he was doing this.


    "Three."


    No sooner had Lauren''s words left her lips than Matthew snapped her jaw.


    "How dare you bite your tongue?" Matthew''s handsome face was now filled with fierceness because of


    his anger. A chilling aura that no one dared to ignore emanated from his entire body.


    "Don''t you dare bite your tongue again. I''ll call right away, cancel the treatment for your father, and


    once again throw your father into the refugee zone and let him live that life as a pig and a dog."


    "Matthew, you are despicable, threatening me again and again, but this time, I will not be threatened by


    you, if you don''t let go again, I will die directly in front of you, you should know that if a person is


    determined to die, any method can seed."


    Matthew had no choice but to release his grip on Lauren''s hand, fearing that she would do something


    to hurt herself in her anger.


    "Wang Ma, take Miss back to her room and remember what I just told you."


    Wang''s mother nodded and hurriedly helped Lauren towards the room upstairs.


    Looking at Lauren''s back as she fell mo, Matthew had an uneasy feeling.


    "Matthew, let''s go try on the dress, with Wang''s mother watching her, nothing will happen, and it''s our


    engagement ceremony in three days, there''s no room for sloppiness."


    Ling Xue''er pulled Matthew''s arm and pouted.


    Looking at the woman beside him, Matthew''s eyes, a sh of ridicule and contempt.


    "Xue''er, just now in the study, I''ve been asking you if you recognize Nangong Lixin, but until now, you


    haven''t talked to me clearly, is it that you don''t put me as your fiancé in your eyes?"


    Matthew sat on one side of the sofa, narrowed his ck pupils, and stared at Ling Xue''er with


    unblinking eyes.


    "I ......" Ling Xue''er did not dare to touch Matthew''s lofty pupils.


    "Well, let''s go try on a dress, no matter what you think you know Nangong Lixin, it''s just a woman for


    me alone. I won''t care."


    Matthew took Ling Xue''er''s hand and walked towards the door, no one could guess, under his profound


    expression, what was he thinking?
