As soon as Lauren entered her room, a big hand grabbed her and pulled her in! The man covered her mouth with one hand, and grabbed her waist with the other, pressing her on the sofa. He took off his clothes and said with a vicious smile, ¡°Don¡¯t try to fight back! I will make youfortable tonight!¡± Until now Lauren realized that this man wanted to rape her! She used all her strength and kicked fiercely at the man¡¯s manhood. After getting up quickly, she grabbed the fruit knife and threatened the man with the knife. ¡°Who sent you here? Tell me!¡± Lauren said in anger and stared at the man. She had been an orphan since she was little, but yesterday the Bet family told her that she was Mr. Bet¡¯s daughter and they wanted to take her home. So it must be that someone didn¡¯t want Lauren toe back to the Bet family. ¡°No one.¡± The man looked at Lauren with disdain and he was not afraid of her threat at all and he was not afraid of being sent to the police station. Lauren pursed her lips and looked at the man with deep eyes, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Ye¡­ Yes!¡± As soon as the man finished saying, the knife had already pierced into his shoulder, which caused the man to tremble in pain! Lauren continued and said calmly but threateningly, ¡°What you are doing right now is burrizing and raping so even if I ¡®identally¡® stab you to death, it will just be legitimate defense. Now, are you going to tell me who sent you here?¡± The man immediately panicked and said, ¡°I will tell you everything!¡± The luxury car of the Bet family was already waiting in front of Lauren¡¯s apartment and Lauren took the evidence and went back to the Bet family¡¯s house. When she arrived, Lauren heard a woman crying from inside the house. In therge living room, a middle¨Caged couple and a tall teenager were gentlyforting the crying girl in the middle. ¡°Sally, don¡¯t cry. Even if shees back, we still love you the best,¡± Mrs. Bet said. ¡°Your mother is right. You have been our daughter for more than ten years so even if you are not rted, we still love you. Lauren is, actually a stranger to us,¡± Mr. Bet said. ¡°Sally, don¡¯t cry. You will still be our family, and if Lauren dares to bully you, I will immediately kick her Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. out of the family!¡± the teenager said. These three people were Lauren¡¯s biological parents and younger brother. Lauren sneered in her heart and walked in. After seeing her, these people immediately changed their expressions and greeted Lauren warmly. ¡°Are you Lauren? Mom misses you so much!¡± Mrs. Bet said. Lauren frowned indifferently and took out a piece of paper from her bag. Mrs, Bet was a little confused and asked, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°This is the evidence of Sally, your daughter, asking someone toe to my ce to rape me!¡± Lauren smashed the piece of paper on Sally¡¯s face. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Rape? Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet looked at the contents of that piece of paper in shock and turned to look at Sally, asking, ¡°Did you All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. really do this to Lauren?¡± Sally tried to shed her tears. And as soon as she was about to speak, she heard Lauren saying coldly, ¡°That man gave me the screenshots of your conversation online and transfers, so it is useless for you to say anything to deny this now.¡± Lauren didn¡¯t want to waste time with Sally. Sally trembled and cried even louder, ¡°Sorry, I admit I made a mistake! That¡¯s because I¡¯m afraid that Dad and Mom will give up on me¡­¡± Suddenly, she grabbed Lauren¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Please forgive me. I know you are the biological daughter of Mom and Dad. Now you can have anything you want. Please forgive me!¡°. Listening to Sally say those hypocritical words, Lauren frowned in disgust. It sounded like Sally was asking Lauren for forgiveness, but in fact, she was reminding Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet how innocent she was as if she was the victim. It turned out that they immediately forgave Sally. said. ¡°Sally, don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s not a big deal. We understand you,¡± Mrs. Bet said. ¡°Your mother is right. You are our daughter. Lauren wouldn¡¯t do anything to you since you didn¡¯t mean to hurt her,¡± Mr. Bet Hearing this, Lauren¡¯s expression changed immediately. She once wanted her parents to do justice for her. It turned out that her parents didn¡¯t care about her at all. Lauren felt disappointed While Lauren was still immersed in sadness, a cup of cold water was poured toward her face. She subconsciously dodged, but the water still wet her shoulder. It was her younger brother Darren who poured the water! ¡°Since you are alright, what else do you want by saying this? Do you want to drive Sally out of our family?¡± Darren was angry and grabbed a ss, throwing it at Lauren, straight to her eyes! If it hit her, Lauren might be blind! So she hurriedly retreated, but behind her were the stairs. Lauren twisted her ankle and then fell to the ground, screaming in pain. At this moment, all of Lauren¡¯s expectations for this family were ¡°What else do you want to say now?¡± Darren was very dissatisfied with Lauren¡¯s silence so he stepped forward and raised his hand, wanting to grab her hair to force her to raise her head. As soon as his hand reached over, he was stopped by a stern voice from upstairs, ¡°Stop!¡± It was his Grandpa! ¡°How can you hurt your sister!¡± Grandpa was so angry that he pointed his crutch at Darren. Seeing that Grandpa was angry, Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet quickly defended Darren. ¡°Father, Darren is still young. He didn¡¯t mean it,¡± Mr. Bet said. ¡°Yes, he just cares too much about Sally but he didn¡¯t mean to hurt Lauren,¡± Mrs. Bet said. Just now, when Darren used the ss to hit Lauren, Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet watched coldly, without saying anything to stop him. But now they couldn¡¯t wait to protect Darren. Lauren, who was sitting on the step, looked at them, and she didn¡¯t know whether her ankles hurt more or her heart hurt more. Mr. Bet junior took a look at Mrs. Bet and then changed the topic. ¡°Sally asked someone to rape Lauren so how are you going to deal with her?¡± Mr. Bet senior asked them. Although he was upstairs then, he heard the conversation. ¡°Father,¡± Mr. Bet was afraid that his father might strictly punish Sally, so he took the initiative to say, ¡°Lauren was alright now. So just let this go.¡± ¡°I agree,¡± Mrs. Bet said, ¡°Sally didn¡¯t mean to hurt Lauren. Maybe she just asked someone to scare her.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Mr. Bet senior sneered coldly and said, ¡°She should pay for what she did even if she didn¡¯t hurt Lauren.¡± He took a tough attitude toward Sally. Hearing this, Mrs. Bet was worried about Sally but she didn¡¯t dare to argue with Mr. Bet senior, so she had to turn around to look at Lauren, ¡°Since you are alright now, could you forgive Sally?¡± Chapter 2 Lauren raised her head to look at Mrs. Bet seriously, and then lowered her head. This was the feeling of having a mother, but it didn¡¯t feel good at all, Lauren thought. Mr. Bet junior said, ¡°Lauren, in the future, you will be a member of the Bet family. So I believe you want our family to be a harmonious one, right? Don¡¯t you think you should forgive Sally?¡± Lauren couldn¡¯t believe this was what her parents said to her after they knew Sally wanted to hurt her. Her father was even threatening and forcing her to forgive Sally. Did he mean that if she didn¡¯t forgive Sally, she was being unreasonable? me.¡± Lauren raised her head, suddenly stood up, and walked to Sally. ¡°Lauren,¡± Sally nced at her, blinking her big watery eyes which were pitiful, saying, ¡°I realize my mistake and please forgive Lauren faked a smile, then suddenly raised her hand, and pped Sally with all her might. ¡°Okay, I can forgive you now!¡± Lauren said. A loud pping sound echoed in the room. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Lauren had been working out so she knew how to control her strength. Sally¡¯s face instantly swelled. It happened too fast for people to react. People saw Lauren standing aside and checking her wrist. Mrs. Bet was the first tofort Sally. She checked Sally¡¯s cheeks and then ordered the maid to fetch the ice. Mr. Bet frowned and said coldly to Lauren, ¡°Why did you do this?¡± ¡°Sally did such a bad thing to Lauren and how dare you question Lauren?¡± Mr. Bet senior was so angry that he mmed his crutch a few times! He continued, ¡°Tonight, I will hold a banquet for Lauren, announcing that she is one of our family members. Since she is back, I will give her the shares of our Mr. Bet asked, ¡°Then what about Sally?¡± Mr. Bet senior nced at him and said, ¡°Sally is not my biological granddaughter.¡± Mr. Bet junior kept silent. Mrs. Bet was okay with that because she felt guilt about her lost daughter. Those shares of the familypany could make up for Lauren to some extent. Mrs. Bet was from the Betty family, which was also a wealthy family, and she had a lot of shares in her familypany. She could give those to Sally in the future. Lauren didn¡¯t want to stay with them anymore so she went upstairs to unpack her luggage. After that, she went to the research institute where she worked. Before the banquet started, the assistant sent by Mrs. Bet drove over to pick Lauren up. After Lauren was dressed up, the assistant took her for makeup and hair styling. On the way, Lauren fell asleep. ¡°You smell so good,¡± a man buried his head on Lauren¡¯s neck, sniffing lightly and said, ¡°You are mine. You are always mine.¡± She tried hard to open her eyes and see the man¡¯s face, but there seemed to be ayer of fog in front of her, and she couldn¡¯t see it anyway. Finally, she woke up from a dream. She patted her forehead with a sigh, unable to figure out why she had such a dream. Could it be that she wanted a romantic rtionship? When Lauren opened her eyes, the car stopped. ¡°Lauren, we have a small car ident,¡± her assistant Wendy looked at her in embarrassment and said, ¡°Could you take the subway? I¡¯ll deal with the ident here.¡± Lauren looked at Wendy carefully and felt she was very interesting and asked, ¡°Are you going to stay here?¡± Wendy nodded, ¡°I have to deal with this ident. I have to wait for the people from the insurance The reason seemed convincing. However, Lauren did not say anything but just raised her head to take a look at Wendy. Lauren¡¯s eyesight made Wendy feel like she was seen through by her, and she became nervous and said, ¡°Is that okay for you, Lauren?¡± ¡°Do you have spare clothes?¡± Lauren asked Wendy. If Lauren took the subway, her dress would definitely be crumpled, like dried vegetable leaves. How could she go to the banquet then? Lauren would always prepare spare clothes when she participated All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. in such a banquet several times before. ¡°Huh?¡± Wendy didn¡¯t expect Lauren to ask this. She thought Lauren knew nothing about this kind of banquet. But Wendy still reacted quickly and exined, ¡°Your clothes are all custom¨Cmade in Paris, so only this one is prepared.¡± Only this one? Lauren almostughed out and looked at Wendy, saying, ¡°Are you a qualified assistant?¡± Then Lauren got out of the car. At the same time, not far behind, inside a luxury car. Charlie Frank was leaning on the back seat and reading the documents, while Leo Frank, on the child seat next to him, was dangling with his legs, and asked the driver to y a song. Charlie put down the document and nced at Leo. Leo was very sensitive, and immediately knew his father was stopping him. ¡°Dad is a little busy now,¡± Charlie raised the document in his hand. Hearing this, Leo said loudly, ¡°But I want to listen to songs!¡± He bit his lips and even wanted to cry. Leo was not happy because. Charlie had promised to apany him, but all day, his father was just working and working. He couldn¡¯t take him to the amusement park. Leo didn¡¯t like this. Leo was a four¨Cyear¨Cold boy and in his kindergarten, everyone except him has a father and a mother, but he only has a father who even didn¡¯t stay with him often. Leo was only four years old, but he already knew what it felt like to be lonely. Charlie sighed and looked out the window carelessly. At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight! Charlie muttered and immediately ordered the driver to stop. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 ¡°Are you going to leave now? Again?¡± Leo turned his head and red at Charlie angrily. Charlie didn¡¯t have time to talk to his son, and said directly to the driver, ¡°Take good care of him.¡± After that, he got out of the car. The driver was nervous and said. ¡°Mr. Frank, where are you going? What about Leo? Do you want me to send him back home?¡± Charlie¡¯s gaze fell on his son, and then said, ¡°Send him to the Bet family to attend the dinner.¡± Let Leo attend the dinner party by himself. He was only four years old! The driver was stunned. Charlie got out of the car and raised his hand to touch Leo¡¯s head, saying. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to pick a wife for me? Now you can go and choose!¡± Lauren got off the subway elevator and Charlie immediately went to follow her. After Lauren left. Wendy was finally rxed, lying on the steering wheel and breathing. Thinking of Lauren¡¯s words when she left. Wendy was both afraid and guilty. After calming down, Wendy made a call. On the other side of the phone was Sally¡¯s best friend, Monica Carter. ¡°Wendy?¡± Wendy was tired and said, ¡°She went to the subway.¡± ¡°Great!¡± Monica said happily, ¡°Over there in the subway. I have arranged everything. There will be reporters, and I also hired a few men. When they saw Lauren, they would squeeze her and wrinkle her clothes, and then the reporters would take pictures of that. As soon as these photos are spreading, her reputation will be ruined!¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Monica was happy and she kept imagining, ¡°Why is the daughter of Mr. Bet crowded with the men on the subway? How would people think of her?¡± Wendy frowned when she heard this, ¡°Will it be too much?¡± ¡°Too much?¡± Monica sneered, ¡°Lauren is the one who did too much! Wendy, do you know how she bullies Sally in the Bet family? Sally is so kind so I know she would never take revenge so I will help her!¡± Monica was angry and continued, ¡°It is just a small punishment for Lauren.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Wendy was still afraid. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Monica interrupted Wendy and said, ¡°There is nothing you should be afraid of. They are not naked photos but some pictures of Lauren taking the subway. Sally is so good to you. Don¡¯t you want to repay her?¡± Speaking of Sally, Wendy turned silent. The reason why Wendy could be Mrs. Bet¡¯s assistant was that Sally rmended. her. Sally helped her get this job and helped her whether in her life or at work. So Wendy thought she should help Sally this time! The subway elevator arrived and the door opened, but she did not go out. When everyone else in the Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. elevator walked out, she closed the elevator and went back to the floor. Lauren took out her phone and made a call. Within a few moments, an RV arrived, and her assistant got off the car to open the door for Lauren. ¡°Miss. Bet, the makeup artist and stylist are here,¡± her assistant said. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Lauren nodded and got into the RV. In addition to cosmetics and styling products, there were also two spare dresses, both of which were from the YM brand. Lauren was an important shareholder of YM and also the backbone of the R&D department so she enjoyed great privileges. Sitting on the seat, Lauren closed her eyes and said, ¡°Let¡¯s to the Bet family¡¯s house.¡± The RV started smoothly and the makeup artist and stylist started working. The assistant sat in the co¨Cpilot, turned around, and asked Lauren. ¡°Lauren, do you need a personal assistant?¡± In the past, Lauren would stay in theboratory most of the day, and she seldom had a social life. But now since she went back to the Bet family, maybe she should have an assistant to help her deal with many trivial matters. ¡°I am okay with that,¡± Lauren said. She didn¡¯te back to the Bet family for benefits but for Grandpa. But Sally repeatedly harassed her, which crossed her bottom line. Lauren hated plots and hypocrisy most! Wendy¡¯s purpose was so obvious. She wanted to make herte for the dinner party or take photos of her when she was on the subway. Suddenly, coldness appeared in Lauren¡¯s eyes. Let¡¯s wait and see! Lauren thought. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Monica was very anxious because those reporters didn¡¯t see Lauren on the subway at all. She called Wendy and asked, ¡°Did she go to the subway?¡± Wendy was still negotiating with the people from the insurancepany and was stunned when she heard this, ¡°Yes, I saw her get into the elevator. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Those reporters said that they didn¡¯t find her and they kept guarding the elevator entrance,¡± Monica was very anxious. Wendy was confused and also became anxious, ¡°Could it be that she changed her clothes so they didn¡¯t recognize her?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Monica was excited, ¡°I even showed her photos to them and every one of them knows what Lauren looks like.¡± Monica did want to make Lauren lose face but she didn¡¯t want her to disappear. If the Bet family found out this, she would be in big trouble! The Bet family was powerful and if they send someone to investigate this matter, they will find out Monica and Wendy behind this matter. It would not be good for Sally! In the end, people would think that it was Sally who wanted to frame Lauren. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Charlie still didn¡¯t find Lauren! He had been looking for Lauren in the subway but couldn¡¯t find her. His handsome face showed exhaustion and irritation. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked at the patterns on the walls, and How could it be her? Charlie asked himself. She was smart so as long as she wanted to hide from him, he couldn¡¯t find her. Thinking of her, Charlie was depressed, and his ck eyes were full of destion. It had been four years! Where the hell was she? Didn¡¯t she miss him at all? Charlie thought. Even if she didn¡¯t miss him, she should miss Leo, her son! It was seven o¡¯clock and the banquet held by the Bet family was about to begin. There were also some media. Usually, the banquet held by the wealthy was all about business, so they rarely invited the media, but this time, it was different. The Bet family wanted to officially introduce Lauren, who had just returned to this family, so they needed the reporters to publicize the news. A group of reporters toured around, but they didn¡¯t see Lauren so they started discussing in private. ¡°How do you think of Lauren Bet? Will she be better than Sally Bet?¡± one of the reporters asked. ¡°She could not bepared with Sally at all! Sally is one of the best youngdies in the city. She often does charity. I don¡¯t think Lauren would be as good as Sally.¡± ¡°I agree. Even if Lauren Bet graduated from the best college in the city, she has a humble background. In terms of insight and vision, she must not beparable to Sally,¡± another said. ¡°She is just a joke of the Bet family! Ha ha~¡± The reporters couldn¡¯t wait to see Lauren. The banquet was about to begin. But Lauren still didn¡¯t arrive and Mrs. Bet was so anxious that her face even turned red. She called Wendy many times. She must find Lauren because today¡¯s banquet was a very important event for her. The banquet would start at eight o¡¯clock, and Mr. Bet senior would lead Lauren downstairs. Now it was 7:45pm, but Lauren was still not here. On the other side, Wendy looked at her phone in her hands, daring not to pick up the phone called from Mrs. Bet. She bit her lips hard. She didn¡¯t know how to exin Lauren¡¯s disappearance. Mrs. Bet would kill her if she told Mrs. Bet that she told Lauren to take the subway to attend the dinner party. As long as Mrs. Bet heard this, she must know that Wendy was lying to her. No matter what happened, she should not let Lauren take the subway to go to the banquet. This was a grave dereliction of duty for Wendy. Wendy looked at the constantly vibrating phone and finally broke down, squatting on the ground and crying. She picked up the phone with trembling hands. ¡°Wendy, why didn¡¯t you answer the phone?¡± Mrs. Bet¡¯s question came from the other side of the All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. phone. This was the first time that Wendy saw her so angry. ¡°Ma¡¯am,¡± Wendy wiped her tears and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t find Lauren.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mrs. Bet was shocked, and she even wanted to question Wendy in person about why would Lauren disappear. But it was not the time to hold Wendy ountable. They should find Lauren as soon as possible. Mrs. Bet suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself, saying, ¡°Tell me, what is going on?¡± Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Mas Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 7 Jeffrey Bet was standing next to Mrs. Bet, and when he saw that his mother was a little excited, he stepped forward to take the phone and said to Wendy, ¡°Exin now!¡± Hearing the male voice on the other side of the phone, Wendy got more anxious because she could recognize that it was the voice of the eldest son of Mr. Bet. Hearing the crying sound from Wendy, Jeffery¡¯s good¨Clooking eyebrows wrinkled and he said, ¡°Where are you now?¡± His voice was gentle and soft, which instantly made Wendy calm down. ¡°I am now at the intersection of Victory Road,¡± Wendy replied. ¡°Okay,¡± Jeffery nodded, and then signaled the assistant beside him to find Wendy immediately. Standing in the center of the room, Jeffery had the power to make people calm and had the ability to solve problems. Looking at him, the rest of the Bet family thought they had the backbone. Jeffery continued to ask, ¡°When did Lauren disappear?¡± ¡°About 7:10 pm.¡± ¡°Why did she get off and where did she go after she left?¡± Jeffery asked. Wendy bit her lip and said, ¡°The car was broken, so she went to take the subway.¡± ¡°Subway?¡± Jeffery asked, ¡°You let her get out of the car and take the subway alone?¡± After hearing this, Wendy¡¯s expression changed instantly and she immediately exined, ¡°I¡­I needed to repair the car.¡± Jeffery was confused and impatient, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you leave your business card and deal with it afterward?¡± Apparently, there was something wrong with Wendy. Since it was a small car ident, Wendy didn¡¯t have stay there and let Lauren leave alone. It was a low¨Clevel mistake for an assistant. Realizing this, Jeffery¡¯s gentle voice suddenly turned gloomy, ¡°Who asked you to frame Lauren? Who else is involved in this. matter? You¡¯d better tell me right now. If something happens to Lauren, you will be in trouble.¡± Jeffery¡¯s voice sounded gloomy. Wendy couldn¡¯t hold on anymore and told Jeffery everything. Hearing Monica¡¯s name, Jeffery frowned and then he turned his eyes to look at Monica behind Sally. Monica was super afraid and waved her hand, ¡°Not me! I know nothing about this! I don¡¯t know where Lauren is. I just let her take the subway.¡± Mrs. Bet was surprised and she didn¡¯t expect Monica to be involved. She looked deeply at Monica. Sally reacted quickly, and immediately looked at Monica in shock. ¡°Why do you let Lauren take the subway? She was wearing a dress. It must be inconvenient for her.¡± Hearing Sally mentioning dress, Monica instantly calmed down. This matter could just be a small deal if she knew how to exin it to them. Sally¡¯s words reminded her and Monica quickly exined, ¡°It¡¯s my fault! I just want to make fun of her, because she has been bullying Sally. I was so mad at her at that time but I¡­ I didn¡¯t make her disappear. She didn¡¯t take the subway at all!¡± Mrs. Bet was so angry that she was even speechless, pointing at Monica for a long time. How could she do this to Lauren? Mrs. Bet thought. Knowing that Mrs. Bet believed Monica, Sally raised her eyes and nced at Jeffery, who kept a calm face and did not say a word. Sally said to Monica, ¡°You did make a mistake this time so I can¡¯t All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. keep you by my side, But the priority now is to find Lauren. We will deal with youter.¡± It was almost 8 o¡¯clock, and people of the Bet family couldn¡¯t stay upstairs anymore, so they hurry down. They needed to tell the guests why Lauren did not appear. Because several members of the Bet family had gone upstairs in a hurry, some people in the hall had already begun to discuss and guessed whether something had happened. People all felt strange when Lauren still didn¡¯t appear at the banquet. Sandy Effie was far away from everyone, sitting on the chair and holding a goblet in his hand. He swayed the ss, watching the red wine inside ripple in a circle. A man came and said to him, ¡°Your fiancee is going to show up. Don¡¯t you go have a look?¡± Chapter 8 Chapter 8 His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 8 Sandy raised his head and looked at the man with displeasure. He was noble and a gentleman. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about this!¡± But the man didn¡¯t give up the topic and kept asking Sandy, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious about her? After all, she is your fiancee. I remember when we were kids, we yed together.¡± Sandy leaned back with his legs folded. He held the ss in one hand and supported his chin with the other. He didn¡¯t remember what happened between them when he was a child and what Lauren was like when she was a little girl. She must be beautiful. Because, Sandy was likely to y with beautiful girls since he was a child, and if she was not good¨Clooking, they would not y together. But no matter how beautiful a girl was, she couldn¡¯t stop time from passing by. The flowers would either wither or be stronger after the wind and rain. Whether it was the withering flower or the plum, Sandy didn¡¯t like it. Sandy didn¡¯t want toe to dinner today but he had a good rtionship with the Bet family so he had to. Seeing that Sandy was not interested in Lauren, the others were a little presumptuous and began to joke with Lauren, ¡°I really wanted to know what Lauren looks like. Will she be as pretty as Sally?¡± one person asked. ¡°What are talking about? No one couldpare with Sally!¡± another said. ¡°You are right. She was lost when she was very little and since then, she had been living as a poor girl. She must be a greedy woman now,¡± another said. At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman walked in. The long red skirt like fire wrapped her slim figure and her face was delicate. From Sandy¡¯s perspective, he could see her curl eyshes and tall nose. She came from the shadow and walked into the light. The fiery red long dress made her look outstanding among all the people. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Everyone present was attracted to her. In the silent hall, the clock on the wall made a small chime. It was exactly eight o¡¯clock! Chapter 9 Chapter 9 His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 9 People of the Bet family who walked downstairs and Lauren, who walked in through the gate, happened to meet each other. Lauren walked to them, nodded, and then turned her eyes to Mr. Bet senior. She called him Grandpa, which made everyone present believe that she was the lost daughter of Mr. Bet junior. All the bad spections, the malicious talk, and the mocking gazes stopped at this moment. People were quite shocked when they saw that Lauren was so beautiful. She was the truedy. With light makeup and a red dress, she surprised the audience without saying a word. She was shining all over her body at this moment. Lauren¡¯s timely arrival made every one of the Bet family breathe a sigh of relief. Mr. Bet senior looked at his granddaughter worriedly and asked, ¡°Where have you been?¡± Lauren smiled at him and replied, ¡°My friend sent me over.¡± Mr. Bet nodded and he didn¡¯t say anything. He was not going to talk about this at the banquet, which was a little inappropriate. He led Lauren to the front and announced her identity in public. He also offered to give her part of his shares in Bet¡¯spany in advance. Mr. Bet senior¡¯s words made the crowd shocked. Among his grandchildren, only the eldest son of Mr. Bet junior Jeffery had shares in his hands, and the rest, such as Sally and Darren, had none. Now, Lauren, who had juste back to the family, could get the share. The reporters and other business partners of the Bet family started to realize how important Lauren was in the Bet family. Even though Lauren had been lost for the past 18 years, she was the one who got benefits from Mr. Bet senior. The audience began to shift their eyesight to Sally. Sensing that everyone was looking at her with bad intentions, Sally suppressed her embarrassment and pretended that she didn¡¯t care about this at all. She told herself to be calm and she didn¡¯t allow people to look down at her. She believed that one day everyone would know that she was the realdy of the Bet family After the banquet, it was time for dance and Lauren did the opening dance. But with whom Lauren was going to dance? Mr. Bet¡¯s eyesight fell on Sandy. Sally, who had been paying attention to Mr. Bet senior and Lauren, immediately noticed that he was going to choose Sandy to dance with Lauren. Sally clenched her fists because she wouldn¡¯t want that to happen. If Lauren did the opening dance with Sandy, it was like telling everyone that Mr. Bet senior wanted Lauren to marry into the Effie Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. family instead of her. She could give up everything, but she couldn¡¯t let Sandy and Lauren be together. Thinking of this, she said to Sandy, ¡°Is your friend avable for the opening dance with Lauren?¡± Sally was implying that she didn¡¯t want Sandy to dance with Lauren and Mr. Bet senior nced at her with displeasure. Sandy examined Lauren with a yful expression, who was standing next to Mr. Bet senior, and said, ¡°My friend is not avable now. But,¡± Sandy looked into Lauren¡¯s eyes and continued, ¡°Would you like to dance with me, Lauren?¡± Sally¡¯s face soon turned pale. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Sally looked at Sandy in disbelief and she didn¡¯t understand why he agreed.. ¡°Did he not care about me at all?¡± Sally thought. Mr. Bet senior was satisfied with Sandy¡¯s attitude and felt he was a suitable man for Lauren. He looked at him, and said with a smile, ¡°Take care of Lauren during dancing.¡± Sandy stopped being a yboy but an adult and reliable man in front of Mr. Bet senior. He smiled at Mr. Bet senior and then made a gesture of invitation to Lauren. Lauren didn¡¯t care who her dance partner was. For her, all she did today was to make her grandfather happy, and after today, she would leave the Bet family. She had more important things to do. Lauren raised her hand but when she was just about to put her hand on Sandy¡¯s palm, he left. Immediately, he strode to Sally, who was standing behind Mrs. Bet and said anxiously, ¡°Do you feel alright?¡± At this moment, Sandy waspletely different from his previous attitude. Lauren could feel that this was the true face of Sandy Effie. He was really worried about Sally. ¡°Hold on. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital now,¡± Sandy said. Soon he picked Sally up and walked toward the door. When he was passing by Lauren, he didn¡¯t stop and ignored her. Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet also followed Sandy, as well as Darren. No one said anything to Lauren, who was supposed to be the main character of this party tonight. Soon half of the Bet family. members were gone. The people present were silent. They didn¡¯t know whether they should care about Sally¡¯s situation or they should stay at this party. They quietly looked at Mr. Bet senior¡¯s expression, wanting to figure out who was more important in his heart. Facing everyone¡¯s gaze, Mr. Bet senior did not speak. A business tycoon like him, who had experienced ups and downs, would not let people easily see him through. But the housekeeper who has been in the Bet family for decades knew how angry Mr. Bet senior was now. This was a tricky situation.. If Mr. Bet senior kept staying here for Lauren, people might think that Lauren was more important in this family, but they might also think that Lauren was indifferent. However, if the dinner party was canceled now, it might damage the reputation of Lauren. It was known by everyone that today¡¯s dinner was Lauren¡¯s start for her future social life on behalf of the Bet family. If it was temporarily canceled now, all the people would think Lauren was not important in her family. What a dilemma it was! Even Mr. Bet senior didn¡¯t know what he should do now. Everyone at the banquet looked at Mr. Bet senior while secretly observing Lauren, wanting to see what her reaction was. If amon girl encountered this situation, she might cry out because of the Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. pressure. But Lauren didn¡¯t even react! She was rather calm and there were no other emotions on her face. She was not worried about Sally, and she was not irritated by people¡¯s leaving. She just stood there calmly. Mr. Bet senior was also surprised by Lauren¡¯s reaction. He thought that his granddaughter would be angry, at least there should be some displeasure. But she was very calm. ¡°Lauren,¡± Mr. Bet senior wanted to ask her what she was thinking, but he didn¡¯t know how to start. But someone asked. ¡°Why are you so indifferent? Your sister is sent to the hospital but you have no reaction at all? You are so cold¨Cblooded!¡± The person who spoke was Sally¡¯s suitor and he was mad at Lauren¡¯s indifference. Lauren turned around and looked at the man coldly. She was not angry with his words, but asked him with confusion, ¡°What do you expect me to do?¡± The man said. ¡°Do you have a little sympathy? Sally was in such great pain!¡± Lauren frowned and her calm expression finally changed. She said, ¡°It is just mild neurological stomach pain and it could be easily relieved by taking some medicine. If you are experiencing hair loss, will your friend cries as if you are going to die?¡± The man was speechless. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. But the man didn¡¯t give up and sneered, ¡°How do you know that it was just stomach pain for Sally? Are you a doctor?¡± Lauren nced at him and said, ¡°Are you a doctor? Then tell me what it was.¡± The man froze and didn¡¯t know what to say. He knew nothing about Sally¡¯s pain and he just want to criticize Lauren. The man snorted, ¡°I¡¯m not a doctor so I don¡¯t know. But I won¡¯t talk nonsense like you did.¡± ¡°How do you know I was talking nonsense?¡± Lauren rolled her eyes, saying slowly but firmly. The man actually wanted to give up talking about this anymore but he didn¡¯t want to lose face so he said, ¡°I am sure that you were talking nonsense. You said it was just stomach pain, but can you prove it?¡± Lauren nodded, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Prove it,¡± the man insisted. Lauren suddenly smiled, which made her more charming. She said in a yful voice, ¡°Are you sure you want me to prove it?¡± From the beginning to now, Lauren had been indifferent so everyone was ustomed to her cold face. When they saw her smile now, they were, shocked by her beauty. Her face and her smile were very impressive. The man also felt she was attractive so he didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for her and decided to end this topic. At this moment, Lauren said, ¡°You fear coldness and always feel fatigued. You have a bad kidney, sir.¡± All of the sudden, the man¡¯s face turned extremely red. Other people alsoughed at the man. The man intmediately became angry and yelled at Lauren, ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Lauren pretended to be innocent and said, ¡°You asked me to prove it.¡± Jeffery, who was standing on the side, watched Lauren showing naughtiness and his heart softened. He took a step to stop the man and said, ¡°You are in the Bet family, remember that.¡± As soon as Jeffery spoke, the man immediately calmed down. This was not the asion for him to yell. Jeffery looked around and took out his phone. Jeffery called the hospital where the Bet family members frequently go. Sally must be sent there. The director of the hospital answered the phone and exined Sally¡¯s situation to Jeffery. ¡°Wait a minute,¡± Jeffery turned on the speaker, and then said, ¡°Go ahead please.¡± At first, the director was a little confused and then he said, ¡°Sally is alright and it is just the stomach pain caused by pressure. After taking the medicine, she is much better now.¡± What Lauren said was true! But most of them did not think it was because of Lauren¡¯s great medical skills, they just thought that Lauren cared much about Sally so she knew that Sally had stomach pain. At this time, Mr. Bet senior stepped forward and said, ¡°Sally and Lauren are close to each other. Lauren cares about Sally very much. Okay, let¡¯s keep this party going!¡± Mr. Bet was finally relieved, thinking that if there was no suitable man, he would ask Jeffery to dance with Lauren. A young voice came, ¡°Are you still going to dance?¡± It was a child¡¯s voice! Everyone was surprised and they looked at the boy. They saw a little boy walking from the crowd who was too beautiful to describe. With curly hair, he wore a well¨Cfitting suit with a small bow tie on his neck. Someone recognized him and eximed! ¡°He is the son of Charlie Frank!¡± Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 When faced with so many people, the little boy did not fright at all, instead, he took a few steps forward confidently. When he saw Lauren, his face turned red. Leo cheered himself up quietly. He told himself to be brave because he liked Lauren very much. Then Leo walked to Lauren with small steps, raised his head, and said in a serious tone, ¡°Can I ask you to dance with me?¡± The whole room was immediately quiet. Everyone looked intently at the two people in the center. This scene was so special! It was inconvenient for Lauren to squat so she could only bend a little and then asked him, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Leo introduced himself in a serious way, ¡°My name is Leo. I am four and a half years old. And my father is Charlie Frank.¡± After saying that, he bit his lips and looked at Lauren with expectation, shyness, and happiness. Lauren¡¯s heart suddenly softened. She stretched out her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯d love to.¡± The music started, and Lauren held Leo¡¯s soft hand and danced with him slowly. People were kind of touched by such a warm scene, so they also started dancing. After dancing, Lauren found a seat to sit down with Leo. Leo was very curious about Lauren so he kept asking Lauren all kinds of questions, ¡°You said that your name is Lauren.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lauren nodded.. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Are you married?¡± Leo looked at Lauren nervously. Lauren was amused by Leo¡¯s nervous face, and deliberately teased him, ¡°Take a guess.¡± Leg shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you are married.¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Lauren asked. Leo had a good reason and said, ¡°If you are married, someone will dance with you tonight.¡± ¡°Wow, you are clever!¡± Lauren rubbed his head. Leo liked his hair very much so and even his father and grandmother were not allowed to touch it at home. But he would allow Lauren to touch it. ¡°Lauren,¡± Leo said to Lauren, ¡°Are we friends now? You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. You can call me Leo and I really want to be your friend. If I miss you, will youe to see me?¡± Leo and Lauren had stayed with each other for a very long time. In the end, the driver of the Frank family stepped forward and said to Lauren, ¡°I am sorry, Miss Bet. Did Leo bother you much?¡± Leo was very happy with a smile on his face, but when he heard the driver say that he bothered Lauren, he suddenly became nervous. Will Lauren still like me? Leo thought.. He looked at Lauren and there was nervousness and worried in his eyes. ¡°No! I like him!¡± Lauren touched Leo¡¯s soft face and said. Hearing this, Leo immediately became so happy that he even jumped, ¡°I like you too, Lauren!¡± That night, Charlie, who had been looking for the woman on the subway, returned home in vain. The driver told him that Leo liked Lauren Bet and hoped that she would be his mother. Charlie, Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 After the banquet, Lauren received a call. It was from that little boy called Leo that she met today. Leo said he wanted to invite Lauren to his home and he would show her his paintings. Hearing his voice, Lauren thought this little boy was cuter. Actually, she didn¡¯t like children, but she liked Leo very much. Even herself couldn¡¯t tell why. ¡°I¡¯d love to.¡± Lauren nodded and then said to Leo, ¡°Do you go to bed now? Have a good rest today if you want to grow taller. Ha¨Cha-¡± Hearing this, Leo was a little nervous. He was worried that if he would not grow tall, Lauren would not like him so he immediately nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep now, Lauren. Good night.¡± Then he added, ¡°I will grow taller and taller.¡± The maid Daphne was surprised to find that the light in Leo¡¯s room was out. In her mind, Leo liked staying up, and rarely went to bed so early. It was only 10 o¡¯clock now, and he turned off the lights. Yesterday, he stayed up until 12 o¡¯clock in the middle of the night, and got up at noon the next day. Mr. Frank was so angry that he said he would send him away. Could he be sick? Daphne was very worried about Leo. She gently pushed the door open and whispered, ¡°Leo, are you still awake?¡± Leo was trying to make himself sleep, but Daphne disturbed him so Leo immediately became unhappy and kind of lost his temper. ¡°Why did youe in without my permission?¡± All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Daphne felt sorry and immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I just want to make sure that you are alright.¡± After all, it was not easy for kids to control their temper and Leo was only four years old. But he soon realized his mistake. ¡°How can I be angry with Daphne? Daphne was so good to me,¡± Leo thought. Leo now was still very worried that I would not grow tall, but he couldn¡¯t fall asleep because he felt guilty about Daphne. He was just a four¨Cand¨Ca¨Chalf¨Cyear¨Cold boy and he couldn¡¯t handle such mixed feelings right now. He didn¡¯t how to express to Daphne so Leo had to cry, which made Daphne more worried. ¡°Why are you crying? Are you ufortable?¡± Daphne asked another maid to go find Mr. Frank, and she went to Leo¡¯s side and. touched his forehead. Daphne was sure that Leo didn¡¯t have fever and there was just sweat. So Daphne pulled the quilt a little bit down andforted him softly, ¡°Can you tell me why you are crying? Did someone bully you?¡± When Charlie came over, Leo had been crying for a long time, and his eyes, nose, and face were very red. His neck was very wet because of his tears. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Charlie asked. Leo said with a sad face, ¡°I can¡¯t fall asleep, but I want to fall asleep.¡± Leo thought that then he would grow taller. Charlie signaled Daphne to go out, and theny on the bed next to Leo, saying in a soft voice, ¡°Daddy will sleep with you.¡± Leo slept in Charlie¡¯s arms and told his father about Lauren, ¡°I will invite a friend to our home tomorrow.¡± ¡°Your friend? Are you going to the yground with your friend?¡± Charlie asked. Leo¡¯s grandmother loved Leo so much that she even built an amusement park for him. ¡°We are not going to the amusement park,¡± Leo said, ¡°Lauren is an adult and she would not like it.¡± ¡°What did you just say? What¡¯s your friend¡¯s name?¡± Charlie got up and looked at Leo in surprise. Leo was a little frightened, and replied in a low voice, ¡°Her name is Lauren.¡± Hearing this, Charlie suddenly remembered what his son said to him when he came back home. Leo said, ¡°Dad, I like Lauren from the Bet family and I want her to be my mother!¡± But at that time, Charlie was so immersed in sadness that he didn¡¯t listen to what Leo said at all. Charlie only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His lips trembled before he could speak normally, and he asked Leo, ¡°Lauren? Are you sure she is called Lauren Bet?¡± Leo nodded, and at the same time was a little puzzled. He constantly looking at Charlie, and asked, ¡°Do you know Lauren Chapter 13 before?¡± Leo was a smart boy. Although he is still a child, he knew how to observe people¡¯s expressions. Charlie was in a very messy mood now, and he didn¡¯t have time to reply his son, so he covered the quilt for Leo and said, ¡°Good night.¡± Then he got up and left. Back in the study. Charlie went to the window and smoked a cigarette. He didn¡¯t smoke often but he liked smoking very much some time. But because she said she didn¡¯t like the smell so he quit smoking ever since. When she disappeared, he started to smoke again. He was even kind of addicted to smoking, sometimes one. pack a day. But in recent years, he smoked less. It was partly because of Leo and partly because of her. He didn¡¯t want her to hate him when she came back and smelled it. Charlie realized that he was shedding tears and he blinked a few times. Then he walked to the the lost daughter 18 years ago of Mr.Bet. After he typed Lauren Bet, many pictures popped up. He was so familiar with this woman on the screen. Charlieughed lowly. Finally, she was back. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Lauren had another n today but she was more likely to see Leo. She got up early today and the servants downstairs were surprised to see her. One of them was called Edna, a very capable woman in her 30s. Edna led Lauren to the dinning hall and Jeffery was there too. It seemed that he was thinking about something, but when he saw Lauren, he immediately changed his expression and smiled at Lauren. He said good morning. Lauren liked staying with Jeffery. She nodded and smiled back to him, which made Jeffery even happier. During the breakfast, Jeffery said two things. The first thing was about shares that her grandfather decided to give herst night, and she would meet with awyer and sign a few documents. Lauren nodded. Another thing was about Wendy¡¯s dereliction of dutyst night. Jeffery exined and told Lauren Monica was also involved. ¡°They have been fired. I will not let anyone hurt you,¡± Jeffery said in a soft but serious voice. Lauren was still having breakfast. Edna was sent by Jeffery to take care of Lauren. Jeffery made great effort to find Lauren back and prepared almost everything when Lauren was back to the Bet family. This time, Jeffery just went back from abroad and he would help Lauren solve all the problems. Lauren was his sister and Jeffery didn¡¯t allow anyone to bully her. After a while, Lauren said, ¡°Isn¡¯t she Sally¡¯s assistant?¡± In fact, Lauren was asking Jeffery whether Sally would be okay with that after he fired her assistant. Jeffery did not directly answer Lauren¡¯s question, but just said one thing, ¡°In the second half of the year, Darren will go abroad and be an exchange student for one year.¡± Lauren raised her head and looked at Jeffery in shock. Jeffery replied with a gentle smile to her, and said, ¡°He is an adult No matter what the reason is, he shouldn¡¯t hurt you. This is his punishment.¡± ¡°Lauren, you are my sister and this is your home. If you encounter anything unpleasant, just tell me. I will support you all the time no matter what happens. Remember, no one can criticize you,¡± Jeffery continued. Lauren lowered her head, and cried quietly. She was lucky that Jeffery was her brother. She loved the feeling of being supported. Lauren thought she was not alone anymore. It turned out that it was not so bad toe back to the Bet family. Here, she could get love and support from her grandfather and brother. The maids in the dinning hall all went out, leaving Jeffery telling Lauren what happened after she was lost when she was five years old. ¡°After you got lost, the whole Bet family was in chaos. Mother was almost crazy and insane, and as long as she saw a little girl about the same age as you, she would rushed up and call her your nickname. Darren, who was less than one year old at the time, was once almost suffocated by mother.¡± ¡°Grandpa used all means, but still couldn¡¯t find you.¡± ¡°After a few months, mother¡¯s situation was getting worse and worse. She even couldn¡¯t recognize us so father took Sally back.¡± ¡°Mother thought of Sally as you, and she kept her in her arms all the time.¡± ¡°After Sally arrived, mother¡¯s situation gradually got better, and it was not until three yearster that she led a normal live like before.¡± Jeffery said a lot. Lauren could imagine the chaos of the Bet family after she was lost and could imagine her mother¡¯s grief. And after knowing everything, Lauren didn¡¯t know how to get along with Mrs. Bet. It had been 18 years since she was missing so things changed. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Lauren,¡± Jeffery suddenly called her, looking at her seriously, ¡°I¡¯m telling you this, not for mother, but for you.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Lauren was surprised. Chapter 14 you.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Jeffery smiled. He was always like a warm spring breeze. ¡°I¡¯m not forcing you to forgive mother, I just want to tell you the truth and I don¡¯t want you to think that Dad and Mom don¡¯t like Lauren touched the chain in her hand, and in the middle of the chain was a small sign with her name engraved on it. Because of this chain, she did not change her family name after being raised by her ¡®grandfather¡®. It was also because of this chain that she was found by the Bet family. Jeffery said that he didn¡¯t want Lauren to bear any grudge against her parents, but in fact, he was wrong. Lauren didn¡¯t hate them at all if she was lost for eighteen years. It had been so many years since she was missing. No one can turn back time. So Lauren had already decided to let things go. She never med her parents, but was just a little disappointed in them. Lauren didn¡¯t want to ask them to love her as they did to Sally. She just want them to be fair when facing Sally and her. After having an appointment with thewyer, Lauren went to see Leo. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Leo was waiting at home. He not only prepared several paintings he painted, but also asked Daphne to make some food that girls would like to eat. The first time Daphne saw Leo so excited before seeing a girl so she asked him, ¡°Do you know what girls like to eat?¡± Leo shook his head. He didn¡¯t know, but he could check it on the Inte. Then he asked Daphne to help him search it on the Inte. He pointed at her phone and said, ¡°Could you help me?¡± Daphne thought Leo was so cute. She has been taking care of Leo since he was little, but she was always overwhelmed by his sudden whimsy. Sometimes, Daphne would secretly wonder who could give birth to such a cute little boy. Daphne nodded and then sat down on the sofa. She input: What food do girls like to eat? Then a lot of answers came up, including bubble tea, chocte, cake, and so on. Leo smiled when he saw those answers, and said, ¡°It turns out that Lauren and I like the same food.¡± The two things they had in same food. Everything was prepared, and Leo sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for Lauren¡¯s arrival. Everything was perfect. The only thing that wasn¡¯t perfect was his dad sitting next to him. Leo was a little dissatisfied, and wondered why his father was still here. ¡°Dad, aren¡¯t you going to work?¡± Leo wanted to drive away his father. Charlie took a nce at Leo and folded his legs. He had already saw through Leo and asked him, ¡°Do you want me to leave?¡± Leo didn¡¯t say anything. Charlie looked directly at Leo and said, ¡°Your friend Lauren is an adult, so the adult must be Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. entertained by an adult. If there is only you, she might not be unhappy.¡± Hearing this, Leo immediately became nervous, and his hands clenched into fists, asking, ¡°Then what should I do?¡± Charlie sat up straight, stretched his long legs, and said in a casual voice, ¡°So I am here with you.¡± Leo was very moved because he thought his father was very considerate. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Before Lauren arrived, Charlie went back to his room to change his clothes.. When Daphne came out of kitchen with deserts, she ran across Charlie face to face who was wearing a pink shirt. Daphne almost identally threw the te when she saw Charlie. ¡°OMG, the world was so strange!¡± Daphne thought. Mr. Frank wore a pink shirt! That was so weird. Although he looked still very handsome in the pink shirt, he was much different from his previous image. Daphne quickly put the deserts on the table and soon left in a hurry. She returned to her room to talk with another maid in the Bet family about Charlie¡¯s unusualness. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. The another maid said. ¡°He also wore the perfume.¡± Daphne was like: (000) The world was so strange! Mr. Frank seldom did this at home and he never wore the suit of other colors except dark. When Lauren arrived at the gate of the Frank family, both Charlie and Leo went out to meet her. Seeing Lauren, Leo instantly wanted to plunge into her arms, but unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t break free from his father¡¯s hand so he could only stand in ce. Lauren knew Leo¡¯s identity, but she didn¡¯t expect that Charlie was also at home today. She didn¡¯t know much about the business circle, but she often saw photos of Charlie on newspapers and magazines. Some female colleagues in theboratory sometimes talked about Charlie. Such a busy person would actually stay at home to apany his child. Lauren thought he must be a good man and had a good impression of Charlie. ¡°Mr. Frank, it¡¯s great to meet you,¡± Lauren said to Charlie. Charlie was a little surprised when he heard Lauren say this and kept staring at her. Lauren frowned, wanting to take a step back. But at this time, Leo had already ran toward her. Because he was still grabbing his father¡¯s hand, Charlie, pulled by Leo, also took a few steps forward. Lauren and Charlie were really close to each other now. It was so close that Lauren could smell the cologne from Charlie. Lauren wanted to dodge Leo, but she was afraid that it might hurt him, so she stood still in ce. She thought Charlie would move. She remembered some colleagues in theboratory mentioned that Charlie was handsome and rich but he seldom dated with a woman. Then people started to guess whether he was gay. They thought the reason why he didn¡¯t get out of the closet was that he cared about his reputation and the Frank family¡¯s. They even fantasized about Charlie and some male stars. Lauren didn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s privacy, but she had a strong memory and rarely forgot what she had heard. However, Charlie did not move, and was even closer to Lauren. It seemed that he couldn¡¯t break free from a four¨Cyear¨Cold boy. Being so close, Lauren could clearly see Charlie¡¯s face. He was really handsome and impressive. ¡°Miss. Bet,¡± Charlie said in a low but sexy voice, ¡°Have we met before? You look very familiar to me.¡± That was too close! Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Lauren couldn¡¯t stand this anymore, so she turned slightly sideways to avoid Charlie. Seeing her movements, Charlie was a little upset, but he quickly calmed and looked as usual. He let go of Lauren and then stepped back. Then Lauren was a little more rxed. ¡°Maybe I have amon face, so you think I am familiar,¡± then Lauren picked Leo up in her arms. With Leo in the middle, Lauren thought she would be more rxed. Lauren took a look at Charlie and she thought he was quite different from what the rumors said. It was said that he liked to wear ck, but today he wore a pink shirt. In fact, Lauren always had no resistance to pink color, especially for men. She thought the pink color would neutralize the tough air of men, but this pink shirt didn¡¯t neutralize the coldness of Charlie but made him looked more powerful. ¡°Common face?¡± Charlie sneered and touched the pink diamond cuffs, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Outstanding, I would say.¡± Is he praising me? Lauren thought. She smiled and said to Charlie. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°I think I should thank you,¡± Charlie put his hands in his pockets, and squinted at Lauren, saying, ¡°Miss Bet, I really thank you for agreeing to Leo¡¯s invitation toe even if you don¡¯t like children.¡± When did she say to him that she didn¡¯t like children? Lauren now felt that Charlie was a little strange. It seemed that he enjoyed sneering at her. She was not a person without temper, and she just cared about Leo¡¯s feeling. She thought Charlie was a little too far. ¡°What are you saying? I love children,¡± Lauren said in an unfriendly voice. ¡°Really?¡± Charlieughed lowly and then looked at Lauren with sharp eyes saying, ¡°Do people who abandon their husbands and children like children?¡± What the hell was he talking about? Lauren lost her temper and sneered, ¡°I have no idea what you are talking about. You can¡¯t be angry with me for no reason. I was just invited by Leo, and if you don¡¯t like me, I will leave now.¡± Charlie carefully looked at Lauren¡¯s expression and frowned. He was quite confused why Lauren didn¡¯t know him. Leo put his arms around Lauren¡¯s neck and he didn¡¯t know why his father and Lauren were arguing. Charlie was his father and he liked Lauren very much so Leo didn¡¯t know whom he should support. He buried his face on Lauren¡¯s neck. Lauren suddenly felt that her neck was a little wet, and immediately realized that Leo was crying because Charlie and her. She suddenly felt sorry and held Leo more tightly. She directly ignored Charlie and walked into the room. her. Charlie stood in ce and did not move.He was staring at Lauren¡¯s back and fell into deep thought. Daphne was indoors, not knowing what happened. When she saw Lauren holding Leo in her arms, Daphne immediately greeted Leo raised her head and revealed a little face with tears. Daphne was surprised. Lauren was sitting on the sofa, holding Leo, and Daphne took a tissue for him. Leo turned his head to Lauren, and said, ¡°I want Lauren to wipe tears for me.¡± Lauren nodded the tip of his nose and wiped his tears. Leo obediently raised his little face and remained motionless. Daphne stood aside, looking at this scene in surprise. She couldn¡¯t believe that Leo liked this woman so much. In the past, Mr. Frank¡¯s mother brought back so many women, hoping that one of them could be Mr. Frank¡¯s wife to take care of Leo. Those women were gentle, or cute, or knowledgeable, and so on. But Leo liked none of them. But thisdy in front of her, could make Leo so dependent on her after the first meeting. Lauren wiped his face, tender and little, and looked at his red eyes, regretting her previous argument with Charlie. She thought she should control her emotions. She just met Leo twice and she already liked him so much. Leo¡¯s face was soft and slippery, and Lauren kept touching it. Leo looked up and asked Lauren, ¡°Do you want to see my paintings?¡± Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Chapter 18 ¡°I¡¯d love to.¡± Lauren nodded. Leo happily held her hands and ran to an upstairs room. This was a beautiful room full of small toys and all kinds of childlike paintings on the walls. Leo pulled Lauren and introduced his toys one by one. ¡°This is Peggy.¡± Lauren knew the pig, and looked at it carefully but was a little curious, ¡°How is it blue?¡± She remembered it was a pink pig. Leo stretched out his hand and pointed to a ce in the lower right corner, ¡°This is what the child sees through the ss.¡± ¡°Is the ss blue?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Leo nodded heavily. ¡°You¡¯re so smart.¡± Lauren praised him. Leo was a little shy when he heard Lauren praised him. The more Lauren stayed with Leo, the more she loved him. She even wished that she could have a baby like Leo. After seeing the paintings, Lauren was taken by Leo to y space sand. Leo had a room of pink space sand which can be used to build castles and airne ships. Lauren took off her shoes and went to y with space sand with Leo. With their efforts, a majestic castle was built with a beautiful gate. Lauren looked at the gate, feeling that something was missing. She wanted to write something on the gate. So, looking down, she wanted to find a tool. However, before she could find it, she saw a big footing toward her. She was stunned for a moment, and the big foot stepped on her foot. It didn¡¯t hurt, he didn¡¯t put pressure on her foot. The skin¨Cto¨Cskin touch made her even shiver. She didn¡¯t wear socks, and that big foot was firmly attached to her foot, unmoving. Lauren suddenly felt annoyed and raised her head angrily. Before she could speak, she heard Charlie Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. say, ¡°There was no space for my feet. Give me some space.¡± Lauren held back her anger. This room was not very big and it was originally designed for children. With the castle and the gate piling up in the center, there is no ce at all. Only two corners were left. One corner is upied by Leo, and the other Lauren. There was no ce for him but Charlie actually squeezed inside, Lauren raised her head and looked at Charlie without saying anything. Her meaning was very clear, that is, she hoped that Charlie could leave as soon as possible. Charlie also looked back at Lauren, and he knew what she was thinking about. He thought, she still go her little temper. He ignored Lauren and turned to Leo, asking, ¡°You made this castle?¡± Leo was very happy when he saw his father, and proudly showed off this castle to him, ¡°Lauren and I built it. Isn¡¯t it beautiful?¡± ¡°Of course. It¡¯s very Beautiful,¡± Charlie said in a soft voice, ¡°Dad also wants to y with you.¡± Then Leo waved his hands and said, ¡°Dad,e here. Let¡¯s build a big ne.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Charlie soon sit right next to Lauren. Very close! Lauren red at him angrily, but ire exined, ¡°There is no ce for me.¡± Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Chapter 19 When Lauren was about to move a little bit, intending to stay away from Charlie, he had already moved and was no longer close to her. This man knew too well how to stay with a woman, not close and not far. Lauren was not dumb. Although she had no experience in romantic rtionship, she knew what men thought about. A smart All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. person like Lauren. immediately saw through Charlie. Charlie didn¡¯t do this for no reason. He must have feelings for Lauren. But Lauren had no interest in Charlie, and because of Leo, she didn¡¯t want the rtionship between them to be tooplicated. So she wanted to tell Charlie directly that she had no feelings for him at all. After thinking for a moment and organizing the words. Lauren raised her eyes and was about to speak. But Charlie said first. ¡°Miss. Bet, I am sorry about what I did just now.¡± Charlie said coldly and distantly, which was different from what he was like before. It seemed that he wanted to keep a distance from her. Lauren was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he changed so quickly and then looked at him in confusion. Charlie looked at her for a while and and then moved away his eyesight, as if he was looking at someone else through Lauren. ¡°You remind me of someone else in the past.¡± Someone else? Lauren took a nce of Leo and guessed it must be Leo¡¯s mother. People had various spections about Leo¡¯s mother, but the most believed that she had died. Thinking of this, Leo¡¯s heart softened, and she began to feel sorry for Leo who had lost his mother since he was little. At the same time she was a little ashamed, because she thought Charlie had feelings for her and she was about to turn him down at that moment. A person like Charlie must have seen lots of beautiful women and how could he fall in love with her at first sight. She thought she was a little narcissistic! Unlike Lauren¡¯s embarrassment, Charlie felt veryfortable. It seemed that he just came to y with his son. Sitting casually on the sand, he started his sand paintings with his sleeves rolled up. Fingertips glide on the t sand surface, and after a few strokes, a beautiful face appeared. It would be close to evening, and the warm sunlight fell on Charlie¡¯s face, making his outstanding facial features more attractive. Charlie was lowering his head, like a sculpture. From Lauren¡¯s perspective, Charlie was a serious and charming man. This man, even if he just sat on the sand, he would make people feel his powerful aura and noble temperament. Staring at his handsome side face, Lauren felt she had seen him before. His side face, his eyebrows, and his breath seemed to be engraved in her mind, but it was hard to remember when they met. Lauren was so immersed in her thought that her body even shook. She tried to support the wall before falling. But there was a pair of hands faster than her, holding her arms and protecting her from falling. Lauren looked up, and saw Charlie¡¯s eyes, which showed anxiousness. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Before she could react, Charlie had already released her, and the worry in his eyes disappeared instantly. ¡°Be careful, Miss Bet.¡± Charlie still said coldly. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lauren nodded politely to him. Seeing the alienation and politeness in her eyes, Charlie¡¯s face became colder, and said, ¡°I was just worried that you might destroy my sand painting.¡± Lauren was silent for a while and then said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll pay attention to it.¡± Lauren didn¡¯t believe that Charlie was worried about her just now. They only met once and were not even friends. They could only be regarded as strangers who had just be familiar with each other. If it weren¡¯t for Leo, they would probably never have intersected in this life. The sand painting on was finished by Charlie. But after painting, he seemed to lose his patience. Although he did not say anything, the irritable aura was almost running out of his body. Finally, he felt he couldn¡¯t stay here any longer so he stood up and looked at Lauren, saying in anger, ¡°I just can¡¯t believe this.¡± Charlie¡¯s voice trembled violently, as if he couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, but he forcibly calmed himself down and said, ¡°Miss Bet, I just can¡¯t believe you.¡± Charlie was still looking at Lauren seriously, trying to find a hint of emotional change on her face. But she was extremely calm and she just looked at him quietly. Finally, Charlie gave up. He smiled angrily and sneered before turning around and leaving. After he left, Lauren looked down at the sand painting that Charlie made. The face of the woman in the painting was simr to her but the woman in the painting was younger. If you didn¡¯t look at it in detail, you might think Charlie was drawing Lauren. But if you looked at the painting closely, you would find they had different temperament. One was delicate and affectionate. One was indifferent and cold. When Charlie went out of the door, he met Daphne who came to deliver fruits. Daphne saw Charlie¡¯s gloomy face and even didn¡¯t dare to call him. She had been a maid in the Frank family for so many years so she could know that Charlie now was in great anger. Daphne would not dare to say hello, so she could only step aside, held her breath, and hoped that Charlie would be mad at her. Until Charlie walked away, Daphne gasped for breath and she raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She did not even send fruit and went directly back to her room. It had been a long time since she saw such an angry Charlie. She remembered that thest time Charlie was so angry was four years ago when he returned home with Leo. She had no idea what happened to him, but she could feel that Charlie¡¯s behavior became more and more strange. He was a cold person inside, giving people a feeling that he was a difficult man. When he was angry, it seemed that the air pressure around him was low, making people afraid. That period of time, Daphne did not dare to say anything with Charlie, and she tried to not meet him face to face. Today, she felt exactly what she felt four years ago again. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Today Lauren brought a gift to Leo, but because of Charlie¡¯s sudden appearance, she did not take it out. After she and Leo finished, and washed their hands and feet, they sat on the sofa in Leo¡¯s bedroom. Then Lauren took the gift out of her bag. ¡°Wow!¡± Seeing the gift bag, Leo eximed in surprise and then raised his head with his bright eyes. He looked at Lauren with expectation. you.¡± Lauren took out the gift bag and ced it on the sofa. Leo was so excited and he couldn¡¯t wait to see what it was. Lauren took out the gift in the bag and handed it to Leo, ¡°This is for ¡°All?¡± Leo was surprised and also excited. Lauren had given many people gifts, but this was first time that she felt fulfilling. Her heart was full of happiness when she saw Leo was happy. ¡°Yes,¡± Lauren nodded and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you like, so I bought all of these for you.¡± She continued. ¡°See if you like them?¡± Leo looked at the gifts on the sofa, and his heart was full of joy. His little face showed happiness and he said, ¡°As long as they are from you. I would like them.¡± Lauren was a little touched by Leo, and she held him in her arms, saying, ¡°Why are you so cute?¡± Leo blinked his beautiful eyes, looking so happy. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Lauren likes me!¡± Leo thought in happiness. Lauren had been staying with Leo for the afternoon, and at first she wanted to stay Charlie. Lauren decided to leave before dinner. ith Leo a little longer, but when thinking of Leo didn¡¯t want Lauren to leave so he kept holding her hands for a long time at the door. To stop Leo from crying, Lauren said, ¡°If you cry, you won¡¯t be so cute anymore.¡± The vi of the Bet family was far from the city center, and there were no cars nearby. Lauren stood at the gate of the vi for a moment, and then took out her phone and hailed a car online. Lauren usually stayed in theboratory and rarely went out. If something urgent happened, the However, she wanted to buy a car now. With a car, she could drive to see Leo at any time and could drive him out to y. Lauren lowered her head and chuckled. A silver¨Cgray Porsche stopped in front of Lauren, but Lauren didn¡¯t notice that and she thought it was the car that picked her up. She didn¡¯t think much and pulled the car door, sitting in the back seat. But the car didn¡¯t move. Lauren looked up and she saw Charlie in the driver¡¯s seat! Charlie didn¡¯t wear the pink shirt, but a white one. He was not wearing a suit jacket, revealing a tight and firm chest. His arms were on the steering wheel. He nced at Lauren through the rear view mirror, and he sneered coldly, ¡°Am I your driver, Miss Bet?¡± Lauren¡¯s first thought was that she get into the wrong car and she also felt a little bit sorry about this. Charlie obviously misunderstood her. Lauren exined, ¡°I¡¯m Sorry. I thought it was the car that I hailed online.¡± Then she put her hand on the doorknob and prepared to open the door and get out of the car. But just before she opened the door, a small and crisp sound suddenly came. It was Charlie who pressed the door lock! Lauren raised her eyes and looked at Charlie in front of her with confusion, ¡°It is really a mistake, Mr. Frank!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you home,¡± Charlie stepped on the elerator, and drove the car. Lauren didn¡¯t say anymore and she said thanks to Charlie. Inside the car, it was very quiet. Neither of them spoke, but Lauren was not calm as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Strangely, she was used to be a calm person but today, she was very emotional when she faced Charlie. There were very few cars so there was no traffic jam at all, but Charlie drove very slowly. Lauren had no driver¡¯s license, let alone drove a car, but she knew the car was so slow! His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Who droves 20 mph? On a wide road? However, Charlie was not her driver, so Lauren would not ask him to adjust his speed. She could only take out her phone and cancel the order. Lauren med herself for being distracted, otherwise, she would not get into Charlie¡¯s car without looking at the license te. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Noticing that Lauren looked at her phone for a long time, Charlie was a little dissatisfied, and said coldly. ¡°Do you really treat me as your driver?¡± Lauren was still immersed in her thought of getting into the wrong car, so she said ¡®yes¡®. Charlie smiled and became considerate for Lauren, saying, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Probably you just don¡¯t like me and have no topic to talk with me, so you would rather spend time in your phone. It¡¯s my bad. I know that. I am just not as cute as Leo.¡± Lauren, ¡°¡­¡± Lauren was so tired that she didn¡¯t want to exin anything. If Charlie wanted to be angry and let him be. She didn¡¯t want to say anything. Then her phone rang and it was a call from her grandpa. She picked it up. The old man went fishing with the old guy today, and found that the old guy had an excellent grandson, thinking of his granddaughter, he wanted to match the two. ¡°Lauren, I wanted to ask you something,¡± Mr. Bet senior said. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡± Mr. Bet asked. I don¡¯t have a boyfriend,¡± Lauren shook her head. Mr. Bet continued, ¡°Have you been in a rtionship before? What kind of man do you like?¡± Lauren smiled and said, ¡°I have never been in a rtionship before. As for men, I like him to be gentle and good¨Ctempered.¡± Knowing that her grandfather was going to introduce some guy to her, Lauren just said it. She had never thought of falling in love with someone before, but after meeting Leo, Lauren suddenly thought getting married was not such a bad thing. She wanted to give birth to a cute baby like Leo. ¡°Are there any other requirements?¡°Mr. Bet still asked. Lauren was thinking about it and when she was about to say, here body suddenly jerked forward, with her head hitting the back of the front seat. It was Charlie who suddenly increased his speed! Lauren rubbed her forehead and found that the speed had reached 80 mph. She didn¡¯t know why and felt that Charlie was too strange. ¡°Grandpa, I am in the middle of something here and I will talk with you when Ie back,¡± Lauren said and then hung up the phone. She looked up at Charlie and said, ¡°Mr. Frank, please pull over. I can take a taxi back.¡± ¡°Why? Because I am driving too slowly? Can¡¯t you wait to go back to start your date?¡± Charlie said, frowning. Lauren also frowned, and said impatiently, ¡°It is none of your business, Mr. Bet.¡± The car came to a sudden stop, making a sharp and screeching sound. He was such a crazy man! Lauren thought. ¡°You can leave now,¡± Charlie said, wearing a cold and depressed face. After Lauren got out of the car, Charlie smashed the steering wheel angrily. Charlie couldn¡¯t understand why Lauren said that she had never been in a rtionship before. Did she forget him at all! Did he mean nothing to her? Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Because of Charlie, it was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening when she returned to the Bet family¡¯s house. They all finished the meal. Lauren went to the dinning hall to eat something, and decided to went back to her room. Her leader had urged her toe back many times, so she had to go back tomorrow. Going back to her room, Lauren took a shower. After that, she sat on the edge of the bed with a bath towel and dried her hair. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Lauren, are you still awake? It¡¯s me.¡± It was Mrs. Bet¡¯s voice so Lauren put the towel on her shoulder and went to open the door. Standing at the door, Mrs. Bet was dressed in a simple style, which made her look more gentle and Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. soft. ¡°I want to see you so Ie here,¡± Mrs. Bet said in a soft voice. Lauren turned sideways and let her in. Mrs. Bet sat on the sofa and, cing a car key on the table. Lauren took a look at it and it was a Ferrari. ¡°This is a gift for you.¡± Mrs. Bet said and smiled, ¡°I nned to give it to you yesterday, but I missed the chance and during the day, you were not at home.¡± It was a gift from Mom! Looking at the car key on the table, Lauren turned soft. She remembered what Jeffery had told her about Mrs. Bet. She knew how much she loved her when Lauren was linle But she was lost for 18 years. At that moment, Lauren didn¡¯t know what to say Neither of Lauren and Mrs. Bet was going to say anything but Lauren still felt warm inside. ¡°Thank you,¡± Lauren wanted to add ¡®Mom¡¯, but when she opened her mouth, she found it was hard to say that. Lauren lowered her head in annoyance, a little angry with herself. Mrs. Bet had been looking at Lauren nervously, and when she saw Lauren kept her head down, she thought that maybe Lauren didn¡¯t like her gift. When she was about to say something, she saw Lauren¡¯s wet hair. Mrs. Bet stood up, picked up the towel on Lauren¡¯s shoulder, and carefully dried her hair. Lauren was surprised by Mrs. Bet¡¯s actions, and she even froze. ¡°Sit down,¡± Mrs. Bet¡¯s voice was still very gentle. Lauren sat on the sofa, while Mrs. Bet standing behind her to dry her hair slowly. At this moment, Lauren suddenly wanted to turn back time and be a child, so that she could throw herself into her mother¡¯s arms without hesitation. So there wouldn¡¯t be a eighteen-year river between them. Lauren reviewed herself and thought she shouldn¡¯t take a tough attitude before. There must always be someone who takes a step backwards first. She should do that for her mother. She was her mother¡¯s daughter. After practicing saying Mom quietly, Lauren clenched her fists and summoned up her courage to pronounce the word Mom which she had been reading in her dreams for more than ten years. However, before she could say it, Mrs. Bet said, ¡°You have really beautiful hair.¡± Lauren observed her mother¡¯s hair, which was also very silky. ¡°I got in from you,¡± After saying that, Lauren immediately lowered her head in shyness. Mrs. Bet said. ¡°Yes, you are my daughter and of course you like me.¡± Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Mrs. Bet was finally relieved By the way, do you have a boyfriend? Mrs. Bennen asked Lauren Lauren shook her head Mrs. Bet thought and then asked. ¡°What kind of man do you like? I can introduce some good guy to you.¡± Lauren thought that her mother, like her grandfather, cared about her so she repeated what she said to her grandfather After lining. Mrs. Bennen seemed a little relieved and said, ¡°It turns out that you like gentleman, then it¡¯s good.¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. What did she mean? Lauren was a little confused and she heard Mrs. Bet say ¡°Bandy was not gende at all. He and Sally. grow up together and they have a deep rtionship. I think he likes Sally¡± Lauren had a good memory and she remembered that Sandy was the one who was supposed to dance with herst night. Lauren was still siming on the sofa, but all the warm and soft feelings disappeared, and only the coldness remained. It turned out thur Mrs. Bennen did note to give her gift, nor did she care about her, but she came because of Sally: She didn¡¯t know Sandy at all so she couldn¡¯t have any feelings for a man who she only met once. If Mrs. Bet hadn¡¯t mention it today, she would probably never think of him. After Mrs. Bennen mentioning him, Lauren remembered that Sandy was the reason why Sally fainted at the banquet. Was her father threatening her not to be close to Sandy? Suddenly, Lauren felt bored and she withdrew the towel from Mrs. Bet. Lauren said. ¡°I want to rest now.¡± Mrs. Bennen did not notice Lauren¡¯s mood change, and she still had some words to say. She was a litde anxious, and said directly, ¡°¡°Lauren, you saw Sally faint yesterday, right? That was because she was worried that you and Sandy might get together.¡± Mrs. Bet grabbed Lauren¡¯s hand, and her tone was a little pleading. ¡°Lauren, please, don¡¯t et involved in their rtionshipt They grew up together so Sandy won¡¯t like you.¡± ¡°When did 1 get involved?¡± Lauren raised her head with sharp eyes, but the other hand hidden behind her back was shaking terribly ¡°I know you are not involved now,¡± Mr. Bet nodded and continued. ¡°You just came back to the Bet family and you are still not very close to Sandy But I know you hate me and you hate Sally, because Sally took everything from you. Jealousy is unavoidable and it is human nature so I understand you.¡± ¡°After all, when you were trying to survive outside, Sally was living as a little princess in the Bet family. When you studied hard at night for ess to a good university, Sally can easily apply to famous colleges: When you took part-time jobs just to earn living expenses, Sally yed the piano in a beautiful mansion ¡°Sally did take your ce, but that was not her fault, Lauren. Don¡¯t hate her. You can me me for not taking good care of you but please don¡¯t take revenge on Sally and get involved in her rtionship with Sandy¡± Lauren did not say anything but slowly withdrew her hand from Mrs. Bet¡¯s. She raised her head to look at Mrs. Bet seriously Even Mrs. Bet was a little scared. ¡°Mrs. Bet, Lauren said coldly and there was only indifference on her face. Lauren no longer cared about Mrs. Bet but just asked, ¡°Who said that I lived a bad life? When did I say I couldn¡¯t y the no and do part-time jobs? ¡°You dider)¡ª¨C say th ¡®Mrs. Bet even stammered when she spoke. Then Lauren said. ¡°That was just your guess and I don¡¯t need your pity¡± can leave now.¡± Lauren opened the door When Mex. Bet stood outside the door, there was a car key in her palm, which she nned to give to Lauren. She stared at the closed door and suddenly realized Lauren was not what she had imagined! Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Chapter 25 After leaving Lauren¡¯s room, Mrs. Bet called her sister Lydia Betty. After hearing what her sister said, Lydia was speechless and said. ¡°How could you say this to Lauren? It only makes Lauren dislike you and Sally more.¡± ¡°So what should I do now?¡± Mrs. Bet was anxious and she still remembered that when she was in the hospital, Sally tightly held Sandy¡¯s hand even if she was in aa. Sally liked Sandy since she was a child, and it had been more than ten years. Everyone thought that Sandy and Sally would get married one day, but now Lauren appeared. At yesterday¡¯s banquet. Sally looked at Lauren seriously, which made her and Sally start to get worried. That was clearly a sign of a man¡¯s interest in a woman. If it weren¡¯t for Sandy¡¯s obvious behavior and Sally¡¯s fainting, Mrs. Bet wouldn¡¯t have gone to Lauren and asked her not to get involved. ¡°Tiffany,¡± Lydia interrupted Mrs. Bet and said, ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± Hearing her sister¡¯s serious tone, Mrs. Bet became a little nervous and then asked Ly, ¡°What Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. happened?¡± ¡°You must be honest with me,¡± Lydia¡¯s voice sounded not friendly, ¡°Half a month ago, did you have lunch with my husband?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Mrs. Bet nodded. She met him by chance and had lunch together. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you keep distance from him? Don¡¯t you know he is your sister¡¯s husband?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? That¡¯s nonsense!¡± Mrs. Bet was anxious and also angry. She even wanted to face Lydia in person right now, ¡°How can you think of me like that? I¡¯m your sister!¡± Mrs. Bet¡¯s chest rose and fell with her eyes turning red. Since you know this,¡± Lydia sneered, ¡°You should now know how your daughter Lauren feel when you said those things to her. Lauren didn¡¯t do anything yet but you started to me her.¡± Mrs. Bet was immersed in thinking and she immediately understood what her sister meant. Mrs. Bet said, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t mean to hurt her.¡± ¡°Of course you didn¡¯t mean to do that,¡± Lydia kept saying. ¡°You care so much about Sally that you even ignored Lauren¡¯s feelings Your heart was full of Sally and there was not even a tiny ce for Lauren. You went to see Lauren and criticized her without any evidence. Lauren must be very disappointed in you now!¡± There was silence for a long time before Mrs. Bet said, ¡°I¡­I just forgot.¡± She forgot to think about Lauren as her mother. Lydia sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. It was not your fault anyway. Lauren had been lost for 18 years and now you might not ustomed get along with her when she is back.¡± ¡°No, it is my fault.¡± Mrs. Bet said, ¡°But I just hope that Lauren could not hate Sally. After all Lauren was supposed to enjoy h life in the Bet family.¡± Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Chapter 26 ¡°I feel sorry for Lauren,¡± Lydia nodded and said. ¡°But even if Lauren envy and hate Sally, I could understand her. After all, everything belongs to Sally is supposed to be Lauren¡¯s, including Sandy.¡± ¡°I could make it for her.¡± Mrs. Bet hurriedly said, ¡°but Sandy loves Sally¡± Lydia didn¡¯t agree and sneered. ¡°Only you think so. Lauren is the offspring of the Bet family and the Betty family and she was better than Sally in very respect.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Mrs. Bet was not happy and said, ¡°What is wrong with Sally? In the circle of celebrities, Sally is one of the best. She is good at ying the piano and even held a personal concert.¡± ¡°How do you know that Lauren couldn¡¯t y the piano?¡± Lydia asked. Hearing this. Mrs. Bet was stunned for a moment and she felt she had heard it before. After a while, she remembered that it was what Lauren said to her before. Mrs. Bet was silent for a moment, and then told Lydia what Lauren said to just now. She wanted to say that Lauren didn¡¯t want people to talk about her past life, but Lydia thought differently. ¡°Don¡¯t look down on Lauren. Maybe she was raised by a more powerful family.¡± ¡°She had no adoptive parents,¡± Mrs. Bet frowned. She once heard Mr. Bet mention that Lauren was adopted by an old man and they only knew his surname was Bach, who also adopted two other children. It was said that his situation was not too bad and was iparable to the Bet family. After listening to Tiffany¡¯s words, Lydia nodded and said. ¡°Then you¡¯d better not to mention Lauren¡¯s past. Young girls at this age have the strongest self-esteem.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I think about,¡± Mrs. Bet agreed. It was what she meant. She didn¡¯t mean to mock Lauren at all and she just felt sorry for Lauren and her past. Sally had been in the Bet family for more than ten years so this was a fact that could not be changed. Sally¡¯s knowledge, temperament, and vision, belong to her. Even if Lauren was jealous, she couldn¡¯t take them away. Mrs. Bet felt that she cared about Lauren, but unfortunately no one understood her. She said, ¡°I¡¯m really afraid that my two daughters couldn¡¯t get along well,¡± she gave an example, ¡°Take clothes, Sally worn luxury brand since she was a child while Lauren doesn¡¯t even wear earrings. Lauren must be ufortable when she sees it.¡± The more Mrs. Bet said, the more she was worried. Sally knew much more about the sight, the understanding of big brands, and the appreciation of jewelry. Lauren knew few about this and if she didn¡¯t have a good rtionship with Sally, she might be embarrassed in the future in the social event. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Then others will definitelyugh at her andugh at the Bet family.¡± Lydia said, ¡°It¡¯s useless to say this now. It¡¯s better to give apetent assistant to her, who might help her in the future.¡± It was not an easy thing to handle different kinds of people for Lauren who just came back to the Bet family. ¡°But I¡¯m afraid that Lauren won¡¯t trust me,¡± Mrs. Bet was angry when she said this. Because of Wendy and Monica, it made Lauren and Sally harder to get together. So Mrs. Bet was afraid that Lauren might not trust her anymore. Lydia said, ¡°You can ask Jeffery to do this for you.¡± At the mention of her eldest son, Mrs. Bet¡¯s eyes lit up. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Chapter 27 After Mrs. Bet left, Lauren stood at the door for a while. She suddenly sneered and then grabbed a towel to dry her hair. Her hair was no longer dripping water, but it was still a little wet. There was messy hair stering on her cheeks, reflecting her delicate and beautiful face. Lauren always looked perfect on any asion. At that time, someone knocked on the door! It was so noisy! Lauren thought. She frowned and threw the towel in her hand. Darren outside the door behaved impatiently as Sally knocked on the door in front of him. He looked rather irritated. Til knock the door!¡± He pulled Sally aside and raised his fist. Knock knock! It was like dense drum beat and it seemed that he wanted to smash the door. Seeing this, Sally was nervous and said, ¡°Darren, don¡¯t knock the door so hard.¡± Darren frowned impatiently. He had a bad temper and it was like he was in a bad mood at any time. He often got angry for no reason. At this moment, Darren was already on the verge of rage, but he suppressed his anger because Sally was there too. Sally came closer to the door and whispered, ¡°Lauren, are you still awake? I really want to talk to you.¡± Inside the door. Lauren took a sip of water and changed her clothes. Sally and Darren were waiting for a long time outside the door, but Lauren still didn¡¯te out. Sally bit her lip and didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°Darren,¡± Sally raised her head and said, ¡°Maybe Lauren is sleeping now. We can see her tomorrow.¡± Darren hit the door so hard that several servants had noticed it. Sally didn¡¯t want her Grandpa to know about this. Darren didn¡¯t want to see Lauren at all and it was Sally who asked him toe here so Darren now of course wanted to leave. They turned around and wanted to go downstairs. The moment they raised their feet, the door opened. Darren and Sally turned around together and looked at Lauren, who wore a set of sportswear. Even though it was the most ordinary style but it made Lauren look tall and energetic. Her hair was a little messy but it didn¡¯t make her look less beautiful. Sally never thought of Lauren as a threat, but in the face of such a beautiful woman, no man could remove his eyesight from Lauren. When Sally thought of the surprise in Sandy¡¯s eyes when he met Lauren at the first sight, she lowered her head and suppressed the gloom in her heart. Lauren nced at them and said, ¡°You cane in.¡± Sally turned calm and showed a smile on her face. She stepped forward and said enthusiastically, ¡°Lauren, I am sorry to bother Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. you¡± Hearing this, Lauren quietly looked at Sally. Sally suddenly turned a little nervous and she subconsciously apologized to Lauren, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. We shouldn¡¯t knock the door so hard. Sorry to bother you!¡± After saying this, Sally froze for a moment. It was a little strange. She didn¡¯t know why she apologized to Lauren before Lauren said anything. It seemed that as long as she faced Lauren, she would be nervous. This was not a good thing, Sally thought. She should be more proud in front of Lauren. After entering the room, Sally changed her attitude. Her expression was gentle but she said with a faint condescension, ¡°Lauren, we want to talk to you now.¡± His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Lauren sat on the edge of the bed and when she heard what Sally said, she raised her head and asked, looking at Darren on the sofa, ¡°Is it because you don¡¯t want to go abroad?¡± How did she know? Sally was surprised and so was Darren. After a while, Sally came back to her senses and she had to say, ¡°Lauren, Darren will be very lonely if he goes abroad. I know you also care about him and don¡¯t want him to go abroad, right?¡± Lauren didn¡¯t say anything and just stared at a ce. Sally continued, ¡°Moreover, It is because of you that Darren has to be sent abroad by Jeffery. As long as you tell Jeffery that you forgive Darren, he will not have to go abroad.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t beg her!¡± Darren couldn¡¯t allow Sally to be so humble in front of Lauren. ¡°Darren!¡± Sally whispered, ¡°Do you want to go abroad?¡± Darren frowned, and his tone was contemptuous, ¡°I don¡¯t but I don¡¯t want you to beg her.¡± Sally patted Darren¡¯s hand, and then turned her head to look at Lauren, saying with a smile, ¡°He is still young, so I hope you can forgive him.¡± Lauren finally began to look at them and said, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to beg me so why do youe?¡± Sally and Darren had nothing to say. Sally smiled. She rarely smiled, but as long as she smiled, she was like a flower blooming. Sally said, ¡°Do you think you can ask me to do anything? Is it my fault? Should I be sorry to you?¡± ¡°I just returned to the Bet family and I am not close to you now so you think I will definitely do what you tell me.¡± ¡°In this family, I have no power to make any decision. Grandpa was the one who can make the final decision. Jeffery would not say no to Grandpa. You can also go to beg Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet to help you.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to turn to Grandpa or your parents, you two can go to see Jeffery yourselves since he is your elder brother. You can cry and beg, and swear that you will never make the same mistake in the future. Then Jeffery might forgive Darren.¡± ¡°There are so many things you can do,¡± Lauren sighed, and then asked, ¡°Why do you ask me for help? There is nothing I could do to you, actually,¡± Lauren said calmly and coldly. ¡°Is it because you two think that I am weak and I will do anything you tell me?¡± Lauren said. ¡°If I don¡¯t do it, I think you are going to criticize me of being cold and indifferent; If I do that for you, you will think I am supposed to do that, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s so smart! Who came up with this idea?¡± Lauren asked and looked at Sally and Darren. Sally immediately became embarrassed. Darren didn¡¯t like Lauren at all so he would never apologize to her. Darren said to Lauren in anger and arrogance, ¡°I just want to know whether you are going to help me. Just tell me that.¡± Lauren raised her head and nced at him coldly. She didn¡¯t care how angry Darren was because that Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. was none of her business. Darren was irritable in his heart and he could no longer suppress the anger so he raised his foot and kicked the small table in front of him. Bang! The wooden table was kicked to pieces by Darren! Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Sally was sitting next to Darren and she was startled by his sudden movement. Her face immediately turned pale and then turned around to appease Darren, ¡°You should calm down.¡± Darren failed to calm down and his fists clenched tightly as if he was going to beat Lauren. ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble here! I don¡¯t care if you help me or not!¡± Darren said. Lauren raised her eyes to look at him, and still said calmly, ¡°You are just such a simple man. Do you solve problems only by force?¡±Darren was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at Lauren and said, ¡°Who are you? How dare you judge me?¡± ¡°Then get out of here right now,¡± Lauren pointed to the door.. In fact, when she heard Sally¡¯s voice, Lauren knew her and Darren¡¯s intentions. But Lauren wanted to give them a chance. The moment she opened the door, Lauren had an idea: They came here because they were family but not because they wanted use her to beg Jeffery. But the truth was cruel. Suddenly, Lauren felt everything was very boring, and she didn¡¯t understand why she kept staying in the Bet family these years since they never treated her as a family member. What am I expecting? Lauren thought. Probably, she really looked forward to having a family. She knew Grandpa and Jeffery in this family loved her so Lauren wanted to ask for more. She wanted to be part of the family. But now, the illusion and expectation were finally gone, and she didn¡¯t want to talk with Sally and Darren anymore. Lauren told them to leave but Sally didn¡¯t want to leave. She came to Lauren¡¯s room tonight, not because she hoped that Lauren would intercede for Darren and make him stay, but because she wanted to make Darren dislike Lauren and hate Lauren. But now, the goal had not been achieved, because Lauren saw through Sally¡¯s intention. Darren was also a little embarrassed. Sally grew up with Darren since he was a child, and she knew him well. Darren was angry but he also knew today it was his fault. No matter if Lauren helped him. Darren would not hate Lauren. Therefore, Sally grabbed Darren¡¯s arm and looked him with tearful eyes, saying. ¡°Darren, do you really want to go abroad? I will be worried about you if you are out alone. No one could take care of you then. Mom and I will miss you so much.¡± Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Darren looked helpless and said, ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Darren of course didn¡¯t want to go abroad Darren was not afraid to go abroad, but this time he didn¡¯t want to because Jeffery will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him, and will not give him much money. It was like staying in prison so Darren did not want to leave. Lauren had already turned back to pack her backpack. When she looked up, she found they still standing in her room. She raised an eyebrow and picked up her backpack. Her backpack made Lauren easy toe and go. ¡°Why don¡¯t you leave? She walked over to them who were now standing in the doorway, ¡°Then I have to go.¡± Sally was talking to Darren just now so she didn¡¯t pay attention to Lauren. Now seeing this, Sally said, ¡°Are you going to leave here?¡± Lauren nodded. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Chapter 30 ¡°If you leave now, what about Darren?¡± Sally was anxious and subconsciously grabbed Lauren¡¯s arm.Lauren sneered, ¡°It¡¯s none of my business.¡± And then she dodged Sally¡¯s grip. But Sally leaned forward and took a few steps. Then she fell to the ground. Darren immediately pulled Sally up with one hand, and raised his other hand, about to p Lauren. At this moment, Darren¡¯s face was red and his chest rose and fell in excitement. He looked at Lauren in disgust. It can been see through Darren¡¯s reaction that he didn¡¯t tale Lauren seriously at all. He treated Lauren like a ve and subordinate. This was not Lauren¡¯s fault, but Darren still med Lauren for this. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. The moment Daren raised his hand, Lauren¡¯s eyes suddenly became cold. Do they really think that she was weak? Since her arrival, she had been tolerant with them all the time and even if Darren wanted to hurt her, Lauren didn¡¯t say anything. In an instant, she took off her backpack and threw it at Darren¡¯s face. Darren was immediately stunned for a moment. For the first time in so many years, he was pped in the face by someone. He panicked, but because he had practiced martial arts for several years, his reaction was quite fast. He raised his leg and aimed at Lauren. He was wearing leather shoes, and if he kicked Lauren with such force, Lauren might hurt badly. Such a ruthless man! Seeing this, Lauren¡¯s pupils narrowed violently. In such a situation, she still had time to observe his expression. It seemed that she wanted to make sure whether he was intentional. This kick did not fall on Lauren¡¯s body. She just stood quietly in ce and took her backpack to stop Darren¡¯s attack. After that, she threw her backpack on the bed, and then picked up Sally. Sally didn¡¯t know what had happened, and she was somehow standing in the corridor. She was pushed out. Sally was so anxious that she didn¡¯t know what to do and at this time, a call came. ncing at the familiar number on the phone, Sally immediately said after picking up, ¡°Mom, didn¡¯t I tell you not to call me when I was in the Bet family?¡± The caller was Sally¡¯s biological mother, Mona Tyler. Sally was not a orphan brought back to the Bet family from the orphanage by Mr. Bet. She was the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Bet and his mistress Mona. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Chapter 31 ¡°But I am worried about you,¡± Mona said to Sally, ¡°I heard that Tiffany attached great importance to her lost daughter and even bought her a car.¡± Hearing this, Sally frowned and asked, ¡°How did you know this?¡± Mona said, a little unhappy. ¡°You would never tell me about this, right?¡± Sally was a little impatient and said, ¡°Don¡¯t make any more trouble for me. If you hadn¡¯t asked someone to hurt Lauren, Grandpa wouldn¡¯t have given her shares of thepany. Don¡¯t make matters worse here.¡± Mona said in a low voice, ¡°It was my fault.¡± Sally sighed, and raised her hand to press her temples. She was already struggling in the Bet family, but Mona kept causing troubles for her. If what Mona did was known by the public, Sally¡¯s reputation be ruined, and even her marriage with Sandy would have been ruined. Who would want to marry a vicious wife? Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Mona sighed and regretted it, ¡°I should have sold her into a remote vige in the first ce. I didn¡¯t expect her toe back after these years!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Sally couldn¡¯t prevent herself from roaring, and she warned Mona, ¡°Never ever mention this in the future. Never let Dad know that you deliberately make Lauren missing.¡± ¡°I know. I¡¯m not that stupid,¡± Mona muttered. Sally knew Mona too well, and as soon as she heard this, she knew Mona didn¡¯t pay attention to what her said. Eighteen years ago, Mr. Bet took Lauren to have a secret meeting with Mona but in the middle of the meeting, he had something urgent to do so he asked Mona to take care of her. But Mona purposely made Lauren missing and then told Mr. Bet that Lauren was lost. Mr. Bet believed her and everyone thought it was Mr. Bet who identally made Lauren missing. No one knew that it was Mona who nned to do this. Although Mr. Bet loved Sally more than Lauren, Lauren was still his biological daughter. And as Mona grew older, Mr. Bet¡¯s feelings for her faded. If he knew that Mona deliberately made Lauren missing, Mona would definitely be in trouble. At that time, not only Mona but also Sally would be punished. Even if Mrs. Bet loved Sally very much, she would not be able to ept the fact that Sally was the daughter of her husband and another woman. Indoors, there was only Lauren and Darren. That kick did not fell on Lauren¡¯s body and Darren himself was also relieved. He didn¡¯t want to hurt Lauren in his heart but sometimes he lost his temper and couldn¡¯t control himself. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Darren frowned and asked Lauren. Lauren raised her head and said indifferently, ¡°You think you are powerful?¡± Darren replied, ¡°So are you gong to teach a lesson to me?¡± Darren knew it was wrong to use force, but even if he injured someone, the Bet family would help him to solve the problem. Darren still didn¡¯t realize his mistake. For the first time, Lauren saw such an arrogant person who used his fists and power to hurt others, and even was proud of himself. Lowering her head, Lauren clenched her fist and the raised her head, asking, ¡°How do you think of my fist?¡± What is she talking about? Darren was confused. While he was still thinking, he suddenly felt that his world turned dark. Lauren gave him a punch on his eyes. Hu Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Darren was a little surprised and then immediately turned angry. He subconsciously wanted to fight back, but strangely, his lost all his strength. When his fistnded on Lauren¡¯s shoulder, Lauren didn¡¯t move at all while he himself took a few steps back. ¡°What is going on?¡± Darren thought. He looked down at his fist and didn¡¯t understand why he suddenly lost his strength. In order to figure it out, he punched the wall but screamed in pain. ¡°What did you do to me?¡± Darren raised his head in shock and looked at Lauren in disbelief. Lauren suddenly raised her hand and then pulled out a silver needle shining with cold light from his neck, saying, ¡°I rarely did this to other people.¡± This tone made Darren feel that he should feel honored. After speaking. Lauren applied something on her arms, cheeks, neck, and so on. Immediately, bruises appeared on those ces, as if she had been beaten hard. After doing all this, she pushed down the chairs and tables, making a mess in the room. Then Lauren walked to the door, put her hand on the doorknob, and nced back at Darren. Her look made Darren feel that he was firmly nailed in ce. ¡°Do you know the feelings of being weak and helpless?¡± She asked Darren. Darren trembled, looking at Lauren who was like a devil, and thought, ¡°What did she do? Why did my strength disappear? Why is this?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer my question?¡± Lauren said in a low but pleasant voice. But it made Darren tremble more violently. He shook his head in a panic and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Lauren smiled, ¡°You will know soon.¡± Then Lauren opened the door. Outside of the door, stood a lot of people, inchiding Mr. Bet senior, Mr. Bet junior, Mrs, Bet, Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Jeffery, and some servants. Because of the big noise, Sally hurried to call everyonee, and some of them were even about to kick the door before Lauren opened it. At this moment, everyone found the bruises on Lauren at the door and Darren, who was full of anger. After seeing this, everyone almost froze. Though Mr. Bet senior didn¡¯t like Lauren, he turned extremely angry, roaring and rushing up to beat Darren. ¡°What are you doing??? It is violence!¡± In the past, if Darren beat someone, the Bet family could use money to deal with the matter. But now, Darren was beating his own sister. How could he do this? Mr. Bet couldn¡¯t believe this and Mr. Bet senior¡¯s hand supporting the crutch even trembled lightly because of anger. If Jeffery hadn¡¯t supported him, Mr. Bet senior would fall to the ground.Mrs. Bet and Sally both gasped in surprise. It was so terrible! They knew that Darren had a bad temper, but they never thought that he would be so fractious. If they hadn¡¯te in time, Mrs. Bet thought Lauren might even die. There was fear in Sally¡¯s eyes when she looked at Darren. In the past, Darren had always been unafraid of nothing, no matter how big trouble he caused. He didn¡¯t care what his parents would punish him. But at this moment, he was really afraid. He dared to admit what he had done, but no one could me him for something that he didn¡¯t do. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Chapter 33 While Darren was dodging his father¡¯s beat, he raised his head and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t beat her! She made those bruises herself!¡± When people outside the door heard this, they started to look at Darren in contempt, even including the maids. In the past, although Darren was irritable, he would never deny what he had done. But now he lied! The maids thought in their heart. The Bet family was disappointed in Darren, and the servants showed disgust in their eyes. Darren wanted to exin, but when he saw people¡¯s eyes, he suddenly lost the strength to argue. No one would believe him, no Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. one. Everyone thought he was lying. Lauren was right in front of him, indifferently watching him being beaten by his father. Darren suffered great pain because he couldn¡¯t avoid Mr. Bet senior. He raised his head to look at Lauren. As if sensing his gaze, Lauren lowered her head, smiling quietly. Seeing this smile, Darren even trembled and he realized that he was afraid of Lauren at this moment. In his lifetime, Lauren was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she was also very dangerous at the same time. ¡°Is she a beautiful demon? Hadn¡¯t she lived a miserable life for 18 years? How could she be so clever? Is she really my lost sister? Who is she?¡± Darren thought. ¡°Stop,¡± Lauren said with a cold face and voice. Mr. Bet, who was in a rage, didn¡¯t know who was speaking but he finally stopped. And then he realized that it was Lauren who stopped him. Facing Lauren, Mr. Bet junior felt guilty in his heart because it was he who caused Lauren¡¯s missing while he was dating with Mona, his mistress. So the sight of Lauren would always reminded Mr. Bet of his mistake that he made eighteen years ago. He loved his daughter Sally very much, but he didn¡¯t like Lauren after these eighteen years. He didn¡¯t want to get along with her and wanted to make it up for Lauren with money. But anyway, Lauren was his daughter. Thinking of Darren, Mr. Bet turned angry again and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to beat him to death.¡± Lauren looked at him and did not speak because she was not interested in Mr. Bet punishing Darren. The reason why she stopped Mr. Bet was that they blocked the door and Lauren wanted to take her backpack and leave. Lauren¡¯s indifference surprised Mr. Bet senior. ¡°Even if she didn¡¯t care about her father beating her brother, she should at least pay attention to her injuries. Why is she so emotionless?¡± Mr. Bet senior thought. So she stopped Lauren who was about to leave and said, ¡°Lauren, could you stay here?¡± Lauren raised her eyes and her curled eyshes flickered, like a fluttering butterfly. It could make people felt pity for her. Lauren said to Mr. Bet senior, ¡°But it hurts, Grandpa.¡± Her words made everyone present silent. Everyone seemed to care about her. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Care came so easily at this moment but Lauren thought it was not truth care and love. The true concern and true love, in Lauren¡¯s mind, should be something from the bottom of one¡¯s heart. No one should pray or beg for love. Because she had expectations for the Bet family and she wanted to get true love in this family. But, now¡­ She lowered her eyes which turned indifferent and disappointed. Lauren knew how to get people¡¯s love but she didn¡¯t want to. She just wanted to be loved wholeheartedly. Lauren thought she didn¡¯t need sympathy of any others. So she calmed herself in an instant, as if nothing had happened. Lauren¡¯s face turned cold again. Lauren turned her head to Mr. Bet senior and said, ¡°Grandpa. I have to leave now. I have some work urgent to do these days.¡± ¡°Do you have to leave now?¡± Mr. Bet hurriedly said and she worriedly looked at those bruises on Lauren¡¯s body, saying, ¡°Do you need to go to the hospital at first?¡± Lauren replied, ¡°No need. It is not a big deal. I can take care of myself. I have to leave.¡± ¡°What is so urgent? Your health shoulde first,¡± Mrs. Bet was so worried that she was even about to cry. She wanted to get close to Lauren but she didn¡¯t dare to do it. ¡°If you¡¯re too tired, you can just quit. You needn¡¯t to work hard now since you are back to the Bet family. I can give you as much money as you want.¡± Mrs. Bet was worried about Lauren. In her opinion, a girl shouldn¡¯t work hard since the Bet family is enough rich. Mrs. Bet thought Lauren just needed to be dressed up and hung out with otherdies at the same age of her. Lauren just ignored Mrs. Bet and said. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Mrs. Bet stood at the entrance of the stairs, watching Lauren leaving. She sighed, ¡°Lauren is so stubborn.¡± Sally stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Bet, silentlyforting her. Mrs. Bet turned her head and smiled at Sally. She thought, ¡°Sally is really a good daughter.¡± After this. Mr. Bet took Darren to the study and taught a lesson to him. The others returned to their rooms. Sally still apanied Mrs. Bet, who recalled Lauren¡¯s leaving, andined to Sally, ¡°Why is Lauren so stubborn?¡± Sally was careful and intelligent and she knew although Mrs. Betined about Lauren, she actually cared about her. In front of Mrs, Bet, and even in front of the Bet family, Sally never say bad things about Lauren, nor would she imply that Lauren is bad. She had always been acting as a gentle and considerate girl. What Sally wanted was the power of the Bet family, the trust of her eldest brother Jeffery and her parents and the dependence of Mrs. Bet on her. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Sally wanted to be in charge of the Bet family one day, but not a pitiful one hiding under her parent¡¯s wings, crying and begging. ¡°Mom,¡± Sally patted the back of Mrs. Bet¡¯s hand andforted her, ¡°I know you care about Lauren, but you need to give her some time to let her ept it.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Mrs. Bet nodded. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask her to ept me and get close to me immediately, but I just want to care about her. She got so many injuries on her body but she insisted on going back to the college. I just don¡¯t understand her. Why didn¡¯t she care about her own body?¡± His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 ¡°Mom, maybe Lauren was afraid of her teachers criticizing her in the college,¡± Sallyforted Mrs. Bet patiently. Mrs. Bet nodded and agreed with Sally. She thought Sally was right. Lauren must care much about her studies, so that she could have a bright future. After understanding this, Mrs. Bet decided to call Lauren¡¯s teacher. When the teacher was about to have a rest, she received a strange call and then picked it up, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hi. This is Lauren Bet¡¯s mother.¡± Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Lauren¡¯s mother? The teacher was rather surprised because as she knew, Lauren was an orphan who was raised up by an old man. She didn¡¯t know why Lauren¡¯s mother called her. Worrying if something bad happened to Lauren, the teacher was a little nervous and asked, ¡°Is there something wrong with Lauren? What happened?¡± ¡°Lauren is alright,¡± Mrs. Bet shook her head and said, ¡°I just want to talk with you Lauren.¡± The teacher was relieved when she heard that Lauren was alright and she said, ¡°Okay, what do you want to know about Lauren?¡± Mrs. Bet said that she wanted the teacher to reduce the burden on Lauren¡¯s shoulders and she also asked the teacher to find someone else to rece Lauren. After listening, the teacher did not speak for a long time. Mrs. Bet continued, ¡°Lauren is my daughter and I didn¡¯t want her to be so tired. She didn¡¯t have to work so hard and she just needed to stay at home.¡± ¡°What are you taking about?¡± The teacher was so shocked that she didn¡¯t know what to say at that moment, and it took a long time before he continued, ¡°Do you know about Lauren¡¯s research?¡± Mrs. Bet didn¡¯t care about her research at all and she just didn¡¯t want Lauren to be so tired. Even if it was a great research, Lauren wouldn¡¯t take a big part of it. Mrs. Bet said. Her mentor would be the core leader of that research. Mrs. Bet didn¡¯t want to talk to the teacher anymore, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t Lauren too tired.¡± The teacher, ¡°¡­¡± After the phone was hung up, the teacher was still stunned. One teacher came over and then she finally returned to her senses. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lauren¡¯s teacher slowly turned her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s too crazy. Just now Lauren¡¯s mother called me and asked me to find someone else to do that research. Lauren is the leader of her team! How could her mother say this?¡± The other teacher said, ¡°You mean Lauren Bet? The girl who got the National Youth Science Fund?¡± Lauren¡¯s teacher nodded. Lauren in the college was known as the most promising genius. Her mother actually ran over and said that she didn¡¯t want Lauren to be so tired! At this moment, Lauren¡¯s teacher thought Lauren¡¯s mother was so ignorant or arrogant. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Chapter 36 After all this, it was pretty sure that Darren had to go abroad. Since that, he was not in the mood to go to school, and he hung around all day. He went to the hospital for several examinations, but no abnormalities were found. The doctors, including everyone in the Bet family, felt that he was alright and he just had a bad mood because he had to go abroad. His grandpa and others in the Bet family were all disappointed in Darren, thinking that he lied. People thought Darren even lied that he had no strength after the doctors said that he was alright, Darren was going crazy in the family because everyone didn¡¯t believe him. Even Sally thought he was Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. lying too. Darren could see the disbelief in Sally¡¯s face. Bang! Darren got up and his movements were so fast that he identally hit the table. He really couldn¡¯t stand staying at home so he ran outside irritably. However, after running a while outside, he stopped. The outside was vast, but there was nowhere to go. Realizing this, Darren became even more irritable. How could he have nowhere to go? The phone in his pocket came to ring at this time. He picked up and said in an unfriendly voice, ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Why are you so angry?¡± Someone on the other side of the phone asked deliberately. Darren frowned. He knew this voice and it was from Bob who did not like him in the college. At the beginning, Bob liked a girl and confessed to her, but that girl ignored him, and went to confess to Darren, which, Bob thought, made him lose face. Bob couldn¡¯t bear this humiliation, so he just came to Darren for a fight. Darren was not afraid of Bob so they had a big fight and Darren beat Bob up. Bob was also from a powerful family so he was as proud as Darren. He wanted to beat Darren up one day. So Darren knew that it was not a good thing when Bob called him and Darren was about to hang up the phone. But Bob kept angering Darren so they made an appointment. Darren went there directly. Bob hit a ball with a billiard cue and nced up at Darren. Darren leaned on the billiard case, and said, ¡°What do you want to do?¡° Bob raised his chin and signaled people around to rearrange the billiards, saying, ¡°You are going abroad, and I won¡¯t see you again in the future, right?¡± Darren¡¯s face was gloomy and said in anger. ¡°Are youughing at me?¡± ¡°No!¡± Bob smiled yfully and said, ¡°I just want to say ¡°Congrattions!¡±¡± Before Bob finished, Darren¡¯s fist had already hit the table. Bob nced at him and snorted coldly, ¡°Why are you so weak now? That¡¯s not you!¡± After that, he stepped forward with bad intentions, clenched his fists, and took a hit on Darren¡¯s chest. Darren was irritable and raised his hand to push Bob¡¯s hand away, but as a result, Bob didn¡¯t move at all. Seeing this, Bob smiled, ¡°It turns out that you really lost your strength! I thought it was a rumor.¡± Bob eyes were cold. ¡°You are in trouble today.¡± Throwing him to the ground, Bob said to the people around him, ¡°Teach him a lesson! There is no safety cameras!¡± Bob said evilly, ¡°Today is not a good day for you, Darren.¡± The people around slowly gathered. Darren¡¯s face was calm, but his heart was panicked. It was the first time he felt afraid. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Lauren¡¯s words: Do you know the feeling of being weak and helpless? It turned out that this was how it felt. No one could help Darren so he had to squat and covered his head with his hands. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Chapter 37 This was the only thing could do to prevent himself from Bob¡¯s fists. However, Bob finally didn¡¯t beat him and Darren only heard a sneer from Bob. So Darren raised his head and looked at Bob who was sitting on the table, supporting his arm with a cue, and looking at Darren narrowly. Darren had never seen Bob behaving like this before. In Darren¡¯s mind, Bob had always been arrogant and he had never looked like this. Bob was so calm and there was even a trace of jealousy in his eyes. ¡°What is he jealous of? Is he jealous of me?¡± Darren thought in surprise. Darren suddenly wanted tough because he couldn¡¯t understand why someone would be jealousy of him. ¡°You can leave now,¡± Bob nodded his chin. But Darren didn¡¯t move. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Bob sneered, ¡°Do you still want to stay here? Do you want me to beat you?¡± Darren looked at Bob seriously and asked, ¡°Why do you let me go?¡± Darren didn¡¯t believe that Bob would be so kind and just Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. wanted to scare him. They were the children of powerful families, and Darren knew that Bob would not seriously injure him. Because in the end, their parents would solve the problem for them. It was a perfect chance for Bob to beat Darren but Bob didn¡¯t, which made Darren confused. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you beat me?¡± Darren asked again. This obviously irritated Bob and he threw the billiard cue, stepped forward, and grabbed Darren¡¯s cor. Bob clenched his fist tightly, wanting to punch Darren hard. But he controlled himself and didn¡¯t do that. Seeing this, Darren was even more confused. ¡°You are just lucky!¡± Bob released Darren and said in anger and jealousy. ¡°What did Bob mean?¡± Darren frowned and thought. They were both from rich families and did whatever they wanted to do. Why did Bob say that Darren was lucky? Darren was very confused by Bob. Bob didn¡¯t want to talk to Darren anymore and took out a simple small wooden box from his pocket. He threw it over and said to Darren, ¡°Take it. This is good for your health.¡± Darren became more and more confused. ¡°Lauren told me to give this to you,¡± Bob said with red eyes. He followed behind Lauren for several years, and even chose to study medicine for her. But Lauren was still cold and indifferent to him. ¡°Why Lauren is so kind to Darren? Is it because he is her brother? Why did he get so much attention from her?¡± Bob thought in anger, sadness, and jealousy. ¡°You¡¯d better have a blood test,¡± Bob said angrily ¡°Lauren said that since your childhood, you were fed medicine which could make it easy for you to be irritable. She was not sure whether there was a cure for this and she told you to restrain yourself when you lose your temper.¡± Darren was confused, not knowing if what Bob said was true. How could Bob know Lauren? ¡°Remember to have a blood test. She said you have something in your blood but I can¡¯t remember what it was,¡± Bob took out a note with a molecr form written on it from his pocket and threw it over, ¡°It is this.¡± After speaking, he left with a group of people, leaving Darren alone reading the note. ¡°This was what Lauren wanted to say to me?¡± Darren thought. From childhood to adulthood, he had been facing preaching and scolding so Darren was now surprised by Lauren¡¯s care! His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Chapter 38 After returning to the college, Lauren rushed to theboratory and spent all her time doing research, even without eating and sleeping. Her tutor was worried that it might influence her health, so her tutor asked someone to remind Lauren to have meals at specific time. Lauren was really busy. Although she was just an postgraduate, she was in the charge of everything about the research. Because she stayed in the Bet family for some time, she had to work harder to make some progress. Some teammates in her team made some mistakes, and she had to correct them. After a busy morning. Lauren stayed in the rest room, having lunch. Several Lauren¡¯s seniors came to her to ask her for advice on their research. Lauren took a bite of her hamburger, thinking about how to answer the question. The questions that her seniors asked were not difficult but a littleplex so she wanted to answer them in a way that they can understand easily. But at that moment, her phone rang. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to hang up the phone but when she saw it was a call from Leo, she was hesitant. Her heart softened with joy. She put down her hamburger and picked up her phone, nodding to the people around her and saying. ¡°Excuse me, I have a phone call.¡± Then she walked to the window and picked up the phone. ¡°Lauren!¡± Leo said with excitement on the other side of the phone and asked, ¡°Are you busy recently?¡± Lauren shook her head and said, ¡°I am not busy.¡± Leo was a little disappointed and thought, ¡°Why didn¡¯t Lauren call me since she wasn¡¯t busy? Did Lauren not like me?¡± Thinking of this, Leo became nervous, and his beautiful eyes were bright, saying, ¡°Lauren, thank you for the gift you gave mest ime. I like it very much, so I want to call you to thank you.¡± Leo was a polite boy and he used the gift as an excuse to call Lauren. He didn¡¯t want to bother Lauren so he immediately changed he topic. Charlie, who was sitting next to Leo and watching him calling, raised his eyebrows. Charlie didn¡¯t expect Leo was so smart. ¡°Really?¡± Lauren said in a gentle voice, ¡°I¡¯m d to know that you like my gift.¡± Leo looked down at his watch, pursed his lips, and did not speak for a long time. Noticing this, Leo took a nce at him. Leo looked up at Charlie and suddenly stood up, running to the door. He turned his back to his father because he didn¡¯t want harlie to know what he said to Lauren. Seeing that there was no sound over there, Lauren thought Leo hung up the phone so she asked, ¡°Leo, are you still there?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Leo said in a cute voice, ¡°Lauren, I want to invite you toe to my home tomorrow.¡± Coming to his home? Lauren thought of Charlie and then hesitated. Leo immediately became nervous and said, ¡°Lauren, will youe?¡± Even if Lauren didn¡¯t see Leo, she could still feel disappointment in Leo¡¯s voice. So Lauren quickly replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go to see you omorrow.¡± Leo immediately became happy, tiptoed around and giggled. The happiness almost overflowed. ¡°Lauren, I can¡¯t wait to see you tomorrow,¡± Leo happily hung up the phone and then ran back to the ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . living room. Seeing Charlie, eo ran to him and asked his father with cunning, ¡°Dad, why do you let me call Lauren?¡± It was Charlie who wanted Leo to give auren a call. Charlie sat on the sofa, leaning back with his legs folded. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Chapter 39 He did not answer Leo¡¯s question, but asked him, ¡°Don¡¯t you like Lauren? Why don¡¯t you call her these days?¡± Leo was staring at his father, but after hearing this question, he suddenly became sad as if he remembered something bad. Charlie was very surprised. ¡°Why was Leo sad?¡± Charlie thought in surprise. Leo thought for a while and then said to Charlie, ¡°I miss Lauren very much, but¡­¡± He lowered his head and looked a little ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . hesitant. day. ¡°But what?¡± Charlie took Leo into his arms and asked him. ¡°But Lauren doesn¡¯t like you,¡± Leo said with sadness, ¡°If I she could be my mom, I will be very happy. But she does not like you.¡± Charlie was a little embarrassed and he gritted his teeth, saying, ¡°How do you know that she doesn¡¯t like me?¡± ¡°I just know it!¡± Leo crossed his arms, and suddenly became excited, ¡°She was not happy with you that day.¡± Though Leo was just four year old and he didn¡¯t know what was going on between adults, he was aware of Lauren¡¯s anger that Charlie didn¡¯t say anything for a long time, as if he didn¡¯t believe this was what Leo said. He looked at Leo for a while. It wasn¡¯t until Leo stood up that Charlie came back to his senses. He held his son and put him on the sofa, sitting side by side with Leo. Charlie tilted his head and thought for a while. He exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t make Lauren angry.¡± Leo also tilted his little head, not very convinced. Charlie continued, ¡°I just started to know Lauren, so we were not very close yet. She just didn¡¯t know what to talk about with me. That didn¡¯t mean she didn¡¯t like me.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Leo was ready to trust his father. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo¡¯s expression was serious and he said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, you can call her and ask her if she likes me.¡± Leo lowered his head and hesitated. Seeing this, Charlie continued to say, ¡°Are you worrying that Lauren would be unhappy when she sees me? If you are, then you should ask her if she likes me. If she says that she doesn¡¯t like me, we will never bother her again.¡± Leo touched his little feet, frowning and thinking. ¡°You can call her now,¡± Charlie persuaded his son to call Lauren, ¡°If you don¡¯t call her right now, she will be busyter.¡± Hearing this, Leo immediately called Lauren again. Receiving the call from Leo again, Lauren was a little surprised. Leo was silent for a long time, and then asked Lauren carefully. ¡°Lauren, is it true that you don¡¯t like my dad?¡± ¡°Why did Leo ask this question?¡± Lauren was confused and she didn¡¯t expect that this four-year-old boy would be so sensitive. He could actually detect her emotions. Lauren was always very soft-hearted when she faced Leo and she herself didn¡¯t know why. The moment Lauren remembered that Leo had no mother since he was little, she felt sad for him. So she quickly replied, ¡°That¡¯s not true! I like your father very much.¡± Lauren just wanted tofort Leo. But after Charlie who overheard his son¡¯s phone call heard it, his whole body was full of happiness. Hearing this, Leo was relieved and said goodbye to Lauren before hanging up the phone. ¡°I told you that Lauren won¡¯t hate me. She likes me,¡± Charlie smiled brightly and his face showed delight. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Chapter 40 The Bet family sent an assistant to Lauren, but Lauren was in college these days, so Lauren didn¡¯t meet her. Because Lauren was going to see Leo the next day, she called her assistant in advance This assistant was called Kelly Bush with short hair and a round face. She was a very capable girl The next day, Kelly came to Lauren early in the morning with breakfast and gifts for Len Because the stores were closed yesterday when Lauren called Kelly so she didn¡¯t mention the gifts for Leo, but Kelly still brought gifts that were suitable for boys aged four or five. That was so considerate of Kelly to do that. This was really a surprise for Lauren because she didn¡¯t know what to buy for Leo right now. ¡°Thank you,¡± Lauren said. Kelly was a little shy and her face was blushing. She was very happy when Lauren thanked her. Because Kelly knew Lauren and liked her very much. Kelly had been admiring Lauren for a long time, and she had already heard about Lauren in the without Lauren, there would be no brand of YM. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . To work as Lauren¡¯s assistant, Kelly made great effort to get this chance. The breakfast she brought was simple but Lauren liked it very much. Obviously, Kelly had worked hard to inquire clearly about Lauren¡¯s habits and preference. Lauren was not in a hurry to go to see Leo, so Lauren said to Kelly that she could stay in her ce and then Lauren went to read books in her study. Kelly was nervous and looked around Lauren¡¯s home. She especially admired Lauren and in MY the age of 20. She extracted a special substance for the irst time and was the youngest biological scientist, Everyone in MYpany knew how great Lauren was. The MYpany had been thinking about using yeast substances to make a mask that was both safe and effective, but it failed everal times. It was hard to find a bnce between safety and effectiveness. A group of top cosmetics experts at home and abroad in theboratory studied for half a year, but they could not solve the roblem and they even wanted to give up the project at that time. But after Lauren came to theirboratory and stayed there for less than three days, the problem was solved. Those top experts vere dumbfounded. They couldn¡¯t believe that such tricky problem was solved by Laurence so quickly. Since then, YM hoped that auren coulde to itsboratory when they were difficulties. However, Lauren had a higher goal and was not interested in cosmetics research and development. So she just asionally came o thepany to solve problems. What¡¯s more, Lauren not only had a high IQ, but also was beautiful and Kelly thought Lauren was even more beautiful than movie stars and she just a little indifferent. Lauren was sorting out the literature at the desk. Kelly was bored and she didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. It was a one-room living oom, so Kelly was not far from Lauren. Kelly was afraid of disturbing Lauren. However, sitting motionless was really ufortable, so Kelly frequently looked at Lauren, thinking that maybe she could help auren sort out the literature. Thinking so, Kelly quietly walked over and said, ¡°Lauren, do you need my help with your literature?¡± Then Kelly¡¯s gaze fell on he literature on the desktop, and she started to be extremely surprised! Lauren didn¡¯t look up, and gave Kelly a few pieces of literature, saying. ¡°Do you know French or German?¡± Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Kelly was like: (OO) and she thought. ¡°Can I take back everything I just said?¡± Seeing that Kelly didn¡¯t move. Lauren raised her head and took a nce at Kelly. Soon she understood what was going on and then said, ¡°I will finish this very soon.¡± Lauren was so gentle so Kelly curiously looked at the literature and said with embarrassment, ¡°I thought it was in English.¡± ¡°A lot of it has been tranted into English,¡± Lauren nodded, ¡°But I like watching the original.¡± Lauren thought seeing the trantion version might make her lose some information. Kelly took a nce at Lauren¡¯s desk and asked her, ¡°How manynguages do you speak?¡± Lauren thought for a while and said, ¡°Seven or eight.¡± Kelly didn¡¯t know what to say. She should know Lauren was very smart. ¡°Do you have any good ways to learn?¡± Kelly asked Lauren. Kelly thought Lauren must take special learning method to learn foreignnguages. Lauren thought she just learnednguages step by step, and then replied, ¡°Memorizing words.¡± The foreign words were so difficult to memorize for Kelly so she kept asking. ¡°Do you have any good ways to memorize words?¡± Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Lauren nodded. This question was also asked to her by others in the past. Kelly was pleasantly surprised. She thought, ¡°Great! I could finally learn a good way.¡± Lauren said, ¡°You can¡¯t just read the words once.¡± Kelly nodded and agreed with Lauren. Repeating was very important in memorizing. Then, Lauren continued, ¡°You have to watch it twice and then you can remember.¡± Kelly had nothing to say. Lauren was so talented so she could always achieve goals with less effort than others. Kelly found that she had nothing to do and in order not to affect Lauren, she sat in a corner to y with her phone. Then she started to y Sudoku. This game got harder and harder and Kelly thought she had to use paper and pen to do the math. She changed her posture and nned to continue to y but she saw Lauren standing up and walking toward her. ¡°Are we leaving now?¡± Kelly quickly stood up. Lauren nodded. Kelly quickly walked over and showed her phone to Lauren, saying, ¡°It is so difficult.¡± Lauren nced at it, and then took the phone, entering a few numbers. Then she said to Kelly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± That didn¡¯t even take half a minute! Kelly was shocked while Lauren had already walked to the door with gifts. She watched her phone and thought that the problem that had gued her for a long time just now had been solved so easily. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Kelly brought a lot of gifts to Lauren¡¯s ce because she thought Lauren could choose one or two from these gifts. After all Leo was a baby boy that Lauren knew just for a few days. But Lauren squatted, fiddling with those gifts. She said she wanted to give all of them to Leo. It was a wonderful feeling for her. At the thought of Leo, Lauren¡¯s heart was soft, and she couldn¡¯t help but to give him everything. After a long time, Lauren decide to give Leo Lego and a model car. She wanted to surprise Leo, but when she arrived, she was told that Leo was not at home. Lauren was a little disappointed and then wondered why Leo was not at home. The living room was empty. The maid Daphne stepped forward to greet Lauren, enthusiastically took the gift in her hand and said while walking. ¡°Leo must be very happy if he knows that you are here. Yesterday he talked about you all day and asked me to prepare delicious food for you.¡± Imagining Leo¡¯s beautiful face, Lauren pursed her lips and then smiled. After Lauren sat down on the sofa, Daphne said, ¡°Leo was waiting for you, but yesterday he was took to his grandparents¡¯ home. Leo wille back at noon, and he left a letter to you.¡± Daphne took out a pink piece of paper, on which was the childish handwriting: Dear Lauren: I¡¯ll go to my grandma¡¯s ce today ande back at noon. Please wait for me and I wille back soon. At the end of the letter, two people were holding hands. After reading the letter, Lauren¡¯s heart seemed to be drenched in warm water. Holding the letter, Lauren didn¡¯t want to leave and she just wanted want for Leo. Daphne was afraid that Lauren might feel boring, so she served some fruits and snacks, and then gave Lauren a book to read. Daphne said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Bet. I still have some work to do in the kitchen so I cannot apany you.¡± Lauren didn¡¯t need anyone to apany her, so she nodded and then opened the book. This was Gone with the Wind, and Lauren liked reading this book very much when she was in junior high school. She liked the heroine. At that time, she was young and she admired her ssmates who could get love and support from their family. So she told herself that she must be as strong as Scarlett O¡¯hara. Later, when she grew older, she had less desire for parents¡¯ love. And she would still read this book frequently. Lauren was not in the mood reading, but there was nothing to do, so she flipped through the book. She identally discovered a line of words in the book. It was beautiful handwriting, very simr to hers. ¡°Charlie will love Lauren for a lifetime!¡± Lauren froze and stared at this line of words. The handwriting was so familiar. It was strange! Lauren put the book on the coffee table, took out her pen from her bag, and them wrote the same line. After finishing, the two lines werepared by Lauren. The handwriting was almost identical. Lauren had been practicing writing since she was a child. So she knew how simr these two lines were. The simr handwriting, as well as same names, made Lauren feel strange. She stared at that line for a long time. After that, she flipped through a few pages to see if there was any simr handwriting, but she didn¡¯t see it. At the end of the book, in the corner of thest page, she found a reply. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Chapter 43 It was different handwriting and it looked like from a man. ¡°I will¡± It replied the previous line. Lauren¡¯s fingertips suddenly itched, with subtle emotions drilling into the bottom of her heart. She closed the book and took a sip of water, calming herself down. At this moment, Charlie walked in from outside the door. He was wearing a ck suit with documents in his hand. He walked really fast as if there was something urgent and when he saw Lauren, he just nodded to her and then quickly walked upstairs. But suddenly he retreated and then stood beside Lauren, with his eyesight falling on the book ced on the coffee table. Lauren exined softly, ¡°Daphne is afraid that I will be bored, so she brought it for me to kill time.¡± Charlie ignored Lauren, and leaned down to pick up the book. Then he patted it carefully and put it in Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. his arms. It looked like he cherished this book very much. ¡°I will ask Daphne to give you another book,¡± Charlie said and then walked upstairs. Hearing Charlie¡¯s voice, Daphne ran out of the kitchen immediately. Charlie turned to Daphne and said, ¡°Don¡¯t touch this book in the future.¡± Daphne nodded repeatedly and said, ¡°I am sorry, Mr. Frank. I will never touch this book again.¡± Lauren, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little embarrassed. Daphne just wanted to give this book to her for killing time so Lauren felt sorry for Daphne. ¡°It seemed that this book was very important to him,¡± Lauren thought. While Lauren was thinking whether she should apologize to Charlie, Charlie asked Daphne to clean up the garage. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the garage? I just went to clean up it this morning,¡± Daphne thought in confusion. But since Mr. Frank said this, she would better go take a look. When Daphne passed by Lauren, she said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Bet. I¡¯ll bring you another bookter.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Lauren waved her hand to Daphne. Lauren remembered Charlie¡¯s cold face and thought, ¡°It is better not to touch his things.¡± ¡°Then help yourself,¡± Daphne pushed the fruit te toward Lauren and said, ¡°Mr.Frank probablye back to get the documents and I heard that he had an important meeting today. So he won¡¯t stay here for a long time.¡± Lauren just smiled and did not say anything. After Daphne went to the garage, there was only Lauren in the living room. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was almost 12 o¡¯clock but Leo still didn¡¯te back. Lauren felt a little bored. So she unlocked her phone to search for the literature on the Inte, but as soon as she tool out her phone, she heard a ¡°bang¡±. which startled her. It was from upstairs! Lauren raised her head and looked up worriedly, guessing if something had happened to Charlie. While she was still hesitating whether to go upstairs, another ¡®bang¡¯ came, apanied by Charlie¡¯s moan. So Lauren no longer hesitated and decisively got upstairs. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The door of Charlie¡¯s study was not closed, and Lauren walked to the door, leaned over, and listened for a while. There was no sound again so Lauren knocked the door, ¡°Mr. Frank, are you alright?¡± No one answered. Lauren was worried about Charlie, so she pushed the door and walked in. The study wasrge, with the bookcases and floor in the color of wood. On the right hand side was a and a stack of papers on it. At the first nce, Lauren did not see anyone in the study, and when she looked closely, she saw Charlie. It turned out that he was blocked by the curtains. Charlie sat on the bay window, almost invisible in the dark curtains. Lauren walked over. There was a solid wooden chair on the ground, and Charlie sat on the bay window, with his legs folded. From Lauren¡¯s perspective, she could see the bruises on his toes. Lauren guessed that maybe he was smashed by the chair identally. ¡°Are you all right?¡± Lauren bent down in front of Charlie and asked with concern. Charlie now realized that there was a person in his study. He was a little surprised and then looked up at her. Charlie said to Lauren. ¡°Sorry to disturb you.¡± He was very polite and soft,pletely different from the previous days. It seemed that he had changed a lot. Seeing that Charlie was injured, she was worried about him. ¡°Do you feel alright? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?¡± Lauren asked. Charlie shook his head and said, ¡°Thank you for your caring. I will apply the medicer by myself.¡± ¡°I want to know if there is anything that I can help.¡± Lauren asked. Charlie lowered his head, but in fact, he was smiling. There was a hint of apology in his expression and he said, ¡°I should have said sorry to you on that day.¡± Lauren raised her head with confusion, but she still looked gorgeous, which made Charlie want to pull her closer and kiss her fiercely. Charlie turned his head because he thought he would lose control if he kept looking at Lauren who was so beautiful. Then he said, ¡°I am sorry for what I did a few days ago.¡± Now Lauren understood. Charlie exined, ¡°There were many women trying to approach me through Leo because they knew Leo was my son and he was very important to me. So I was not very polite to you that day. I am sorry.¡± Lauren didn¡¯t speak and in her heat, she had forgiven Charlie. Charlie took a nce at Lauren and when he saw she had no reaction, he immediately gave an example to imply that he didn¡¯t lie to Lauren, ¡°Last year, there was also ady whom Leo liked very much and frequently invited her to our home. Thatdy also liked Leo very much and gave him a lot of gifts. Leo even told me that he wanted that woman to be his mother.¡± Hearing this, Lauren subconsciously frowned, and felt a little ufortable in her heart. Lauren herself didn¡¯t know why. Charlie continued and his voice was very charming and convincing. ¡°At that moment, I thought that woman wanted to use Leo to approach me and marry into the Frank family. But I didn¡¯t expected her¡­¡± Charlie paused for a while, and suddenly Lauren had a bad feeling. Soon Charlie said, ¡°She was much ¡®ambitious¡¯ that I thought. She deliberately got close to Leo, and wanted to kidnap him to threaten me.¡± pain. Hearing this, Jennifer felt sympathy for Leo and her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, which even made her shiver in Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Lauren couldn¡¯t control herself and squatted down. She looked up at Charlie and said, ¡°She didn¡¯t hurt Leo, right?¡± But Charlie looked at her without speaking, which made Lauren more nervous and worried about Leo. Lauren felt she couldn¡¯t even breathe as if her heart was grabbed by someone. Charlie was originally very satisfied with the story he made up. But when he saw that Lauren was only concerned about Leo, but didn¡¯t care about him at all even if he was standing right before her. Charlie was a little disappointed and thought, ¡°Why did she just ask about her son? Didn¡¯t I mean anything to her? Why didn¡¯t she show any concern to me?¡± Though Charlie was a little disappointed, he didn¡¯t show it on his face. He was pretending to tell a true story to Lauren and implied her he was a good father. Charlie knew Lauren too well. It was more effective to take a soft attitude when he was facing Lauren. Although now Lauren forget himpletely, but Charlie could feel her personality had not changed. When he came to know that Lauren had forgotten him, Charlie even wanted to see her immediately and tell her about everything. Charlie wanted Lauren to remember what happened between them. But he decided not to do that. Charlie thought if he told her everything, Lauren would definitely not Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. believe it. And she even wanted to take Leo away. Therefore, Charlie made a n. He wanted Lauren to remember all that by herself. Lauren now didn¡¯t know about what Charlie was thinking and she came to believe him and buy his story. Lauren put her feet into Charlie¡¯s shoes and thought if Leo was her child and someone tried use Leo to threaten her, she would also put on her guards to protect Leo. Thinking of this, Lauren forgave what Charlie did before. She took a deep breath and asked Charlie, ¡°What happenedter? Was Leo injured?¡± ¡°She only cares about Leo! Didn¡¯t she see his bruises? Why didn¡¯t she care about me?¡± Charlie thought. He nced at Lauren and didn¡¯t want to mention Leo, ¡°I don¡¯t wan to talk about this right now. Then Charlie lowered his head and pretended to look painful. Seeing this, Lauren got more worried. She wanted to ask Charlie more but she was afraid that she might hear some bad news. She couldn¡¯t imagine that the lovely Leo got hurt. ¡°Miss. Bet,¡± Charlie said to Lauren and continued his story, ¡°I hope you can understand me.¡± Lauren nodded. She knew the reason why Charlie treated her like that was that he cared so much about Leo.¡± Then Charlie continued. ¡°I admitted my mistake. Now I know that you are actually the lost daughter of Mr. Bet. I hope you can forgive me.¡± Lauren smiled and looked sincere, saying, ¡°I know it was because you cared too much about Leo.¡± Charlie stared at Lauren for a while, and suddenly said, ¡°Leo likes you and I also think you are a good person. Can I call you ed her eyebrows. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Charlie immediately continued and said to Lauren, ¡°You can call me Charlie. No ¡®Mr. Frank¡¯ anymore.¡± Lauren repeated Charlie¡¯s name quietly several times and suddenly felt that his name was so familiar to her. It seemed that she once called this name thousands of times. Lauren blinked her eyes, suppressing the strange feeling. Since Lauren met Charlie and Leo, she always had strange feelings sometimes. ¡°Leo was such a cute baby,¡± Lauren thought. Then Lauren took a nce at Charlie¡¯s bruises, and she thought it was not a big deal. She bent over and wanted to take a closer look. But Charlie¡¯s feet retreated. Charlie turned his head and his ears turned red. It seemed that he was a little shy. He said, ¡°I am alright and I can take care of Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. myself. Why don¡¯t you wait for me downstairs?¡± Usually when Lauren heard this, she would leave immediately but Charlie was Leo¡¯s father so she was a little concerned about him. Then she said to Charlie, ¡°I know some medical skills so maybe I can help with your injury.¡± Charlie raised his head to look at Lauren and he became a little upset. ¡°She changes her attitude so fast,¡± Charlie thought. Before he mentioned Leo and exined, Lauren was so indifferent to him and now she began to care about his injury just because of Leo! ¡°Do you only care about Leo? Is it because you are afraid that I couldn¡¯t take care of Leo that you showed concern?¡± Charlie hought in anger and then took a look at Lauren. Lauren noticed his eyesight and then raised her head to look at him. Charlie turned his head and his voice became cold, ¡°I don¡¯t want to bother you, Miss. Bet.¡± ¡°Why does he call me Miss. Bet again? Didn¡¯t he just say that he would call her Lauren?¡± Lauren thought with confusion and en took a few steps, saying, ¡°I am going downstairs.¡± Charlie lowered his head and did not look at Lauren without saying anything. Lauren took a nce at him before she walked out of the study. After making sure that Lauren had left, Charlie suddenly jumped up from the bay window. He just couldn¡¯t believe this! She tually left him! Lauren circled around in his study in sadness and there was nothing wrong with his feet. When Lauren went downstairs, she happened to meet Daphne who came back from the garage. ¡°Why did you go upstairs?¡± Daphne was a little confused and asked Lauren. Lauren pointed at Charlie¡¯s study and said, ¡°Mr. Frank identally hurt his foot.¡± Then Daphne immediately went to find the medical kit, and ran upstairs quickly. In the study, Charlie was still upset, but he soon heard someone running upstairs. ¡°It must be Lauren!¡± Charlie thought with delight. He soon sat back on the bay window and pretended to check his bruises. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Soon the door opened. Charlie was waiting to see Lauren¡¯s face and even thought proudly, ¡°I know you care about me!¡± As a result, what he saw was Daphne¡¯s face. Charlie immediately copsed and his eyes turned cold. There was shock, anger, loss, and even a trace of injury in his eyesight when he looked at Daphne. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Daphne was very confused. She thought. ¡°Why is Mr. Frank looking at me like that? Did she make some mistakes?¡± Charlie suppressed the irritation in his heart and said to Daphne, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Daphne said carefully, ¡°Miss Bet asked me to take care of you.¡± ¡°Really? Did she say this to you?¡± Charlie asked Daphne. Daphne nodded vigorously. Well, Charlie immediately changed his emotion from irritation to cheerfulness. He knew that she still cared about him. Charlie stretched his legs and then nodded to Daphne, returning to his previous cold face, ¡°I don¡¯t need your help right now. I am right.¡± Cathy was used to Charlie¡¯s coldness. In the eyes of others, Charlie had always been like this. He rarely talked to people, and was willing to waste time on useless things. But at the same time, he was a sharp and decisive businessman. Daphne had been in the Frank family for more than ten years. She was serving Charlie¡¯s grandparents at first, but after Leo was m, she started to take care of him. So Daphne had deep feelings about the changes of the Frank family. In the past, the Frank family was already powerful and had very high status in this city. However, there were still many families who were powerful than the Frank family. Until Charlie rted to be in charge of the Frank family, it waspletely different, in a good way. Last year, the Frank family held a banquet at home for Charlie¡¯s mother¡¯s birthday, and many of the guests were famous people t she could only see on TV. Such people actually were invited to the birthday because of Charlie. Lauren sat downstairs for a while, and then Leo arrived. He trotted, carrying a small schoolbag. The garage was not far from the main entrance, but because Leo was still a baby, it took for a while for Leo to meet Lauren. The ment Leo saw Lauren, his eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Lauren!¡± Leo ran toward Lauren and kept following her. He even didn¡¯t want to separate with Lauren for a second. He raised his e head and said, ¡°When did youe? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?¡± Lauren lowered her head and touched Leo¡¯s forehead. She pulled out a tissue to wipe his sweat. Leo was very happy, tilting his little head and staring at Lauren without even blinking. ¡°Are you hot?¡± Lauren helped Leo take off his bag. ¡°I am okay.¡± Leo shook his head and he only knew that he was happy to see Lauren. He grabbed his small schoolbag and pulled zipper, but he failed to do that so he looked at Lauren with his cute face. Lauren asked him softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Leo was a little shy and lowered his head, saying, ¡°I have a gift for you.¡± Then he took out a pink box from his bag. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Chapter 48 ¡°What gift would Leo give to me?¡± Lauren thought. Lauren guessed maybe it was a doll or Lego. That was also what Leo liked. What¡¯s more, the box was wrapped in pink color, so Lauren believed it might be a small toy. However, after opening the box, she was surprised. It was actually a piece of white jade in the shape of a cat¡¯s w, which was delicate and pure. It was really a lovely gift. Rubbing and pinching the jade with her fingertips. Lauren felt like she was touching the real cat¡¯s w. She also found that there was a bead with a name on it. It was KITTY. When Lauren saw this name, she was super surprised. ¡°How could it be so coincidental?¡± Lauren thought because she had a cat called Kitty when she was seven or eight years. Leo was a sensitive and careful child and since Lauren opened the gift box, he had been looking at her nervously. When he saw Lauren frowning and not speaking for a long time, he started thinking that maybe Lauren didn¡¯t like his gift. Leo was a little sad and his hands were clenched. He was on the verge of breaking out. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lauren noticed Leo¡¯s emotions and turned to look at him, touching his head tofort him. Hearing this, Leo uddenly copsed and his chest rose and fell violently with tears falling down his cheek, ¡°Don¡¯t you like this gift?¡± Lauren didn¡¯t know what to do when Leo cried, and she hurriedly took Leo in her arms and wiped his tears for him, saying, ¡°I ike this so much! As long as it¡¯s from you.¡± Leo¡¯s head was buried in Lauren¡¯s arms, and when he heard this, he raised his face and said seriously, ¡°This gift is not good. I will ive a better one to you next time.¡± ¡°It is great and I like it,¡± Lauren hugged Leo and said. ¡°This is the best gift.¡± Leo lowered his head and insisted, ¡°No, this gift is not good.¡± In fact, Leo promised his father that he would not tell Lauren this gift was picked by Charlie. Lauren didn¡¯t want Leo to cry so she repeatedly said that she liked this gift very much and would carry it wherever she went. nally, Leo smiled. Because of crying, Leo¡¯s eye turned red and swollen so Lauren took him to the upstairs room to wash his face and change his othes. Daphne hurried over and wanted to take Leo to wash his face. But Leo held Lauren tightly. Lauren smiled at Daphne and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help wash his face.¡± Daphne said, ¡°Thank you for that, Miss Bet.¡± When they reached Leo¡¯s room, Lauren helped Leo take off his coat and then led him to the bathroom to wash his face and hands Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Leo thought himself was no longer a baby boy so he was a little embarrassed to be held in Lauren¡¯s arms, so he said to her, ¡°I will wash it myself.¡± Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Lauren was surprised but she respected him and let him go. The bathroom sink in Leo¡¯s room was a little high, so he stepped on a small stool, and then washed his hands and face. He even knew how to use facial cleanser. This facial cleanser was chosen by Daphne, with no additives and no fragrance, specially designed for children. After washing his face, Leo turned to Lauren and showed his clean face. ¡°You are so great!¡± Lauren kissed Leo on his cute face, and took him back to the bedroom. His bedroom has not changed much, except for a dog-like stuffed toy at the head of the bed. This was a gift from Lauren. Leo¡¯s room was neatly cleaned up, and his toys were all ced in a cab. There was not a single toy ced randomly. The pencils and notebooks on the small desk were also neatly arranged. There was not even a wrinkle on the sheet. Because everything was so neat, that red dog toy was very conspicuous. Leo cherished this dog toy very much and he even dressed it with a small hat and cute little leather shoes. Seeing Lauren staring at this toy. Leo was a little shy. He lowered his eyes and blinked his eyes. He told Lauren that because he liked this toy very much, he always held it to sleep. After Daphne washed this toy, Leo thought it was no longer cute, so he put clothes on it. After Lauren heard this, there seemed to be a soft little brush, brushing her heart. It was a pleasure that her gift was cherished ke this. Lauren found that this cute and innocent boy always brought her special feelings. The more time she spent with beo, the more she would like him. Sometimes, she even couldn¡¯t believe she could get such sincere and wholehearted love from a child. She squatted down, looked to Leon¡¯s eyes level, and told him seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will give you many, many gifts.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Leo¡¯s eyes widened, and he looked at Leo with surprise and expectation. Lauren turned around and led Leo downstairs. She showed him the two gifts she brought this time. After Leo saw the gifts, he happily circled her, and said, ¡°I like them so much! I feel so happy! I am happier than yesterday. I like u, Lauren.¡± Lauren was almost caught in Leo¡¯s sweet words. At this moment, Charlie walked downstairs and saw Lauren and Leo. He even vied his son of staying with Lauren! ¡°Why didn¡¯t Lauren care about me?¡± Charlie thought in his mind. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Chapter 50 It was about one o¡¯clock and they were going to have lunch prepared by Daphne. Charlie had something to do so he left and there was only Lauren and Leo having lunch Daphne served the dishes one by one. Lauren turned her head to Leo to roll up his sleeves The temperature was a little high recently Leo was wearing a light coat and a T-shirt The dishes were already on the table and most of them were spicy Lauren was surprised and raised her eyebrows, saying, ¡°Do Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Leo like spicy food?¡± Daphne smiled and brought over a te of spicy dish and ced it in front of Lauren, pointing to a few dishes in front of Lauren and saying. The spicy dishes were especially prepared for you, Miss. Bet.¡± ¡°By the way, this is for you,¡± Daphne returned and brought a cup of yogurt to Lauren Lauren looked at this cup of yogurt and seemed to be lost in her memory, some images shing in her mind. I want to eat spicy, spicy food!¡± a girl said on a man¡¯s back. ¡°But it¡¯s not good for your health,¡± the man said firmly with care. Although Lauren couldn¡¯t see his face clearly in her memory she could feel the man was gentle and soft. That¡¯s okay. I can drink a cup of yogurt. Drinking yogurt before meals could protect the stomach,¡± the girl turned her eyes at the man, implying that she must eat spicy food. This time, the man did not stop her but held the girl¡¯s head and kissed her. His voice was as gentle as the spring wind and he said. ¡°Do you have to eat something spicy today? I really think it is not good for your health.¡± The girl had to give up. The fragments of the memory were vague, but the affection between the two cannot be obscured. Lauren was sure that this couple in her memory was in deep love with each other. ¡°Lauren?¡± Leo¡¯s child voice pulled Lauren out of her memory. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Lauren pressed her temple and tried not to recall those strange memories. She lowered her head and smiled at Leo, ¡°I was thinking that those dishes looked so delicious,¡± Hearing this, Leo looked at the dishes on the table and then said, ¡°But they look so spicy. I want to have a taste too.¡± Lauren touched Leo¡¯s soft hair and then said, ¡°You can taste when you grow older.¡± Leo nodded and said, ¡°Dad also said so. He said that I would have a same taste as Mom¡¯s.¡± Lauren raised her eyebrows. This was the first time Leo mentioned his mother. Speaking of this, Lauren felt that Leo was different from other single-parent children who usually avoided talking about their arents. But Leo seemed to have no troubles in this. Lauren had avoided talking about this issue, for fear of hurting Leo, but since that he took the initiative to mention his mother. auren asked him, ¡°Do you miss your mother?¡° ¡°Yes,¡± Leo nodded seriously, and said, ¡°My mom loves to eat spicy food and she knows medical skills. She is also very beautiful.¡± men Leo lowered his head and raised his head again, ncing at Lauren a few times. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Lauren, do you know medical skills?¡± Hapter 51 Hapter 51 Chapter 51 Lauren thought for a while and then shook her head, saying, ¡°No.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Leo raised his head in shock and looked at Lauren with helplessness. His chest rose and fell, and his eyes quickly turned red. ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡± Leo almost cried. Lauren¡¯s head went nk for a moment. Then she said, ¡°I know a little.¡± ¡°What do you mean by a little?¡± Leo was very nervous and his little hands grabbed her clothes. Lauren exined softly. ¡°I knew a little before, but I forgot.¡± ¡°So, does this count as ¡®yes¡¯ or ¡®no?¡± Leo was a little confused, He decided to ask his father when he was back. So Leo became happy again, leaned into Lauren¡¯s arms, and said to her, ¡°My Dad told me that my mother was an angel, and after giving birth to me, she goes back to the heaven. She wille back when I grow up.¡± After saying this, Leo quickly raised his head to nce at Lauren, then lowered his head, and crossed Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. his little fingers, ¡°I met many people, but I didn¡¯t tell them that I was looking for my mother.¡± Lauren now realized that Leo asking her whether she was his mother. Lauren didn¡¯t know how to reply. She saw the expectation in Leo¡¯s face so she didn¡¯t want to disappoint him. Fortunately, Daphne came over with thest dish. Lauren handed Leo fork and knife and said, ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Leo was a little depressed without getting a reply from Lauren. However, when he saw so much delicious food, he immediately became happy again. Though he was only four years old, he could took care of himself well. Today¡¯s dished were very appetizing, so Lauren had a lot until her lips turned red. Leo was also very happy, and while eating, he watched carefully Lauren eating spicy food. ¡°Dad said that Mom likes to eat spicy food!¡± Leo thought happily. After lunch, Daphne brought a ss of coconut milk, saying that it was for Lauren. After taking a sip of it, Lauren was surprised. There was familiar medicinal fragrance in it. Lauren could taste well and when she was a child, whatever Grandpa Bach made, she could distinguish the medicinal properties as long as she tasted a little. So after drinking the coconut milk, she could taste every kind of medicinal herbs. Lauren pinched her fingers but didn¡¯t change her expression. ¡°How could it be so coincidental?¡± She thought. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chapter 52 On the way back, Lauren had been absent-minded. Kelly, who was driving, nced at Lauren quietly through the rear view mirror and thought, ¡°Lauren looks so great even if she was just thinking.¡± Kelly couldn¡¯t help but peek repeatedly, and when she peeked for the third time, Lauren turned her head and said to Kelly. ¡°Keep focused.¡± ¡°I am sorry.¡± Kelly straightened. Lauren left Leo at about four o¡¯clock in the afternoon and because his house was far from Lauren¡¯s college, it would take Lauren a long time to arrive. She leaned back, lowered her head, and looked at the jade that Leo gave her. She was familiar with this jade in the shape of cat¡¯s caw. But strangely, no matter how hard she tries, she couldn¡¯t remember where she saw this jade. She also looked at the name KITTY on the blue Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. bead. She once had a cat when she was a child, and its name was Kitty. Lauren closed her eyes and pondered that the Frank family seemed to have a lot to do with her, but she couldn¡¯t remember anything. After thinking for a while, she had a headache again so she quickly pressed her temples and stopped thinking. Noticing Lauren¡¯s expression, Kelly took a nce at her. But just at this moment, she hit a Land Rover in front of her. Fortunatel both cars¡¯ speed was not fast, and they did not cause major damage. As soon as Kelly stepped on the brakes, she got out of the car to deal with this ident. ¡°Hey, do you know how to drive? Where are your eyes?¡± Out of the car in front of Kelly, a beautiful woman with big breasts cam with a strong attitude. Kelly immediately calmed down. Though she was young, but since she could be selected as Lauren¡¯s assistant among so many candidates, it showed she was sophisticated enough to help Lauren deal with things. After getting out of the car, Kelly closed the door so as not to disturb Lauren. Then, she said to the woman, ¡°It was your fault. Don¡¯t you know that?¡± It was not Kelly¡¯s fault but because the other car forcibly changednes. The woman patted her car and said, ¡°See? You rear-ended me!¡± ¡°Rear-end?¡± Kelly was amused. ¡°You are talking nonsense.¡± ¡°You are talking nonsense? It was your fault,¡± the woman took a look at Kelly, and then at the Bentley behind her. That was an expensive car, but she was not wearing any big brands so the woman believed that Kelly was not the car owner and guessed Kelly was just a mistress of the car owner. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Thinking of this, the woman looked at Kelly with scorn. She was impatient to talk to Kelly and took out her phone, ready to find someone to deal with this. As soon as she took out her phone, another woman came down from the Land Rover and stopped her, ¡°Dana, let¡¯s go.¡± Dana turned her head and frowned. ¡°I can deal with this.¡± Kelly was standing in the middle of the two cars, taking a picture with her phone as evidence. When she saw the woman who got out of the car, Kelly was surprised and stared at the woman for a long time, asking. ¡°Are you Sally Bet?¡± ¡°Do you know me?¡± Sally was a little surprised. In order to be apetent assistant, Kelly made all the preparations. She got all the information about everyone in the Bet family, and knew everything well. She had seen Sally¡¯s photos but never saw her in person, so Kelly was not very sure. But Kelly now was sure that the woman in front of her was Sally Bet. Kelly subconsciously looked at Lauren. At this moment, Lauren opened the car window. Sally saw Lauren sitting in the back seat. ¡°Lauren?¡± Sally was also very surprised. Kelly ran to Lauren and introduced herself to Sally. ¡°My name is Kelly and I am Miss. Bet¡¯s assistant.¡± Hearing this. Sally took a nce at Kelly and then at the Bentley. She smiled and said, ¡°I Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. didn¡¯t expect to meet you here!¡± Then, Sally pulled Dana and said to Lauren, ¡°It¡¯s our fault and we are so sorry about that. I¡¯ll ask someone to repair your car.¡± Lauren was still having a headache so she didn¡¯t want to talk with Sally anymore. Lauren nodded and then asked Kelly to leave. ¡°We are leaving, Miss. Bet,¡± Kelly said to Sally. After this, the car window slowly closed. When Dana and Sally returned to the car, the round-faced woman sitting in the co-pilot looked excited and said, ¡°She is your sister? Good-looking but a little proud, I think.¡± Dana sneered coldly and said, ¡°I guess it was because she dared not to meet Sally face to face.¡± The round-faced woman nodded and said, ¡°You are right. Since she had been lost for eighteen years, she couldn¡¯t bepared with Sally at all.¡± Then she turned to Sally who sat in the back seat, ¡°Do you see that Bentley? A few days ago, she was still a poor student and toda the drives a Bentley¡­ But this car isn¡¯t a new car. Why do your family get a second-hand car for her?¡± Hearing this, Sally took a look at Lauren¡¯s Bentley and frowned, ¡°Mom bought her a Ferrari.¡± ¡°How much is it?¡± ¡°About 2000,000 dors.¡± ¡°But her Bentley was about 5000,000 dors.¡± ¡°Such a greedy woman,¡± Dana sneered. His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Chapter 54 When the three of them were talking, a girl sitting in the back seat remained silent, as if she was invisible. The other th used to this because she didn¡¯t like to talk But when Dana called Lauren a greedy woman, the girl raised her head. She frowned and seemed that became impatient and was not happy about what Dana said. ¡°Look at the license te. her index finger arched and knocked twice on the window, and then she said, ¡°This is Herman Shaw¡¯s car.¡± Immediately the car turned silent. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Lisa Walter, are you sure about this?¡± Dana asked Lisa in shock, ¡°How could it be Herman Shaw¡¯s car? Lisa was already impatient. Though her face had no expression, her voice was very cold, ¡°You can check it yourself. That license te obviously showed that Herman was the owner and you only cared about sneering at Lauren.¡± If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they grew up together and had a good rtionship, Lisa didn¡¯t want to stay with them at all They were all in their 20s but they still behaved like children. Though they can¡¯t help with their family business, at least they should know where the bottom line was. How could they not recognize Herman¡¯s car? Lisa thought. Herman Shaw, not a local of this city, was a very special person. He was not a famous business leader, and only a professional manager, working at MYpany. But no one afforded to offend him because he had a very powerful family behind him. He was very low-key so few people knew about his identity, but most top families were very well- informed and as soon as Herman arrived in this city, they all knew it. They would tell the juniors in the family not to offend him. Although Herman did make his identity public in this city and was extremely low-key, no one would forget how powerful his family was. Herman was different from the rest of the Shaw family, most of which were engaged in politics, education, industry andmerce, and so on. It was said that Herman¡¯s father might be the next President. When Herman was a child, he followed the path designed by his family. Herman did everything that his family expected him to do. He studied extremely hard and then was admitted to a prestigious university. People thought he was the one who would go into politics. His future was bright ahead of him. Unfortunately, when he was 22 years old, he had a serious car ident, which destroyed his life. He couldn¡¯t walk since then! Lisa didn¡¯t know more details about that ident but she heard that after Herman was paralyzed for half a year, the Shaw fam find a hermit doctor and healed his leg. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Though Herman could stand up and walk, because of the effect of previous car ident, he didn¡¯t walk like a normal person. I was not obvious when he walked slowly, but once he walked faster or ran, he would limp. After Herman could stand up, he did not follow the path nned for him by his family but entered the business circle. The Shaw family didn¡¯t force Herman to do anything, hoping that he could live freely. Herman¡¯s father still has decades to go in politics, so he could still support his family. Knowing the car where Lauren was sitting was Herman¡¯s, Dana and others dare not say anything about the car. There were many things that money could not buy. The round-faced girl was called Theresa Hood and she knew many luxury brands, Her family was not as powerful as others, but she had a good personality, so she often hung out with other girls. Although Theresa did not dare to talk about Herman¡¯s car, her face turned gloomy when thinking of Lauren. She nced back at Sally and said with malice, ¡°Sally, I didn¡¯t expect your sister Lauren could drive Herman¡¯s car. What¡¯s her rtionship with Herman? His mistress?¡± Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. After Theresa¡¯s family got rich, many women approached her father and some of them everr offended her mother. Theresa thought that Lauren might be Herman¡¯s mistress, and she hated her even more. ¡°You were saying that Lauren was Herman¡¯s mistress?¡± Dana, who was driving, couldn¡¯t believe it and continued, ¡°Did you say that she studied at a top university?¡± Dana¡¯s family even praised Lauren for this. ¡°So what? Education does not show her character,¡± Theresa looked down at her newly made nail art and said, ¡°Her college is great but that doesn¡¯t mean she is great. I admit that she is pretty but she is just a poor student. Why would Herman let her drive his car? There must be something between them.¡± Lisa, at this moment, said, ¡°Herman Shaw is not married yet.¡± Theresa nced back at Sally and they said at the same time, ¡°Connected by marriage!¡± ¡°Lucky girl,¡± Theresa¡¯s eyes widened. Since now Lauren came back to the Bet family, there would be no obstacles to her marriage with Herman. Hearing this, even Dana admired Lauren. The Bet family would not have a problem with their marriag What a luckydy! Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Chapter 56 ¡°She is so lucky.¡± Theresa shook her head and sighed. And soon she turned around to talk to Sally. ¡°Sally would deliberately reveal her rtionship to the Bet family?¡± Sally raised her head and looked at Theresa with confusion. Seeing this, Theresa was more worried about Sally and said. ¡°You are so pure. Be careful with your sister. I don¡¯t believe she in kind person.¡± Sally had always been a knowledgeable and well-knowndy in front of everyone but she rarely made the judgement and never talked about her jealousy of others. Most of the time she was a quiet and elegantdy of the Bet family. But in fact, she was the backbone of her group and many decisions were made by her. She rarely talked, but her words were organized and impressive. Therefore, she got along with almost everyone. Theresa was worried about Sally and said, ¡°I think you¡¯d better marry early, otherwise, Lauren would definitely bully you in the Bet family.¡± Dana nodded and agreed too. They thought Sally was too kind. Lisa did not agree with them and she put down her phone, saying: ¡°You guys underestimate Sally. Sally will not take the initiati to harm people, but she would also not allow people to bully her. You don¡¯t have to worry about Sally. I think she is smarter than Lauren. Lauren had just returned to the Bet family and there was not much she could do to harm Sally¡± Hearing this, Theresa nodded and said, ¡°I agree with you but I am still worried about Sally because she is so soft-hearted. I am afraid that she would not fight back after Lauren bullies her. Lauren is just a barbaric person and knows nothing about decency ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that at this moment,¡± Theresa looked at Sally and said, ¡°I guess Lauren will definitely let the Bet fam know her rtionship with Herman. Then the Bet family might put pressure on Herman and ask him to marry Lauren Dana nodded and she agreed with Theresa that Lauren was a sophisticated woman. Theresa continued, ¡°Since she can be admitted to a top university and climb the socialdder, it shows that she is not a fool. definitely knows how to seek benefits for herself. Although she is a member of the Bet family, she just came back. She had b missing for 18 years and it is not possible that she had a deep rtionship with the Bet family. She might now use the Benn family¡¯s power to approach Herman.¡± Theresa felt that Lauren was very scheming and she knew how to n for herself. Sally didn¡¯t agree with what Theresa said. She didn¡¯t think Lauren was Herman¡¯s mistress. But after all, Herman was a grea and no woman wanted to miss him. ¡°How about making a bet?¡± Theresa looked at Dana. Dana raised her head and asked, ¡°About what?¡± ¡°I guess after Lauren arrives today, she would immediately tell her rtionship with Herman to the All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Bet family.¡± Ther quite sure about that. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Theresa thought, ¡°Lauren was even driving Herman¡¯s car. She mist want to tell the Bet family about her rtionship with Herman.¡± Dana sneered, ¡°I think you overhear this. I don¡¯t think Herman would like her. Maybe she is not Herman¡¯s mistress.¡± After saying Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. that, Dana looked ahead and drove the car The other three girls in the car looked at each other and couldn¡¯t believe this. In the end, Theresa asked Diana, ¡°Do you like Herman?¡± Dana immediately admitted, ¡°Yes, I like him. We were both single and there is nothing wrong with that.¡± ¡°But¡­ ¡°Theresa said in disbelief, ¡°he has a mistress.¡± Dana sneered when she heard this, ¡°This is man. I can pretend to know nothing about this.¡± ¡°You are right.¡± Theresa leaned back and said, ¡°my father has a young mistress too. This is man.¡± Lisa nced at Dana and said, ¡°However, Lauren is different. She is not a normal person but the eldest all.¡± Dana didn¡¯t say this because she looked down on Lauren. That¡¯s because it was the truth for her. After all, Dana was raised in a rich family, not like Lauren, who had been missing for eight years. The three other girls agreed with Dana. They never saw Lauren wearing any luxury brand. To be Herman¡¯s wife, they didn¡¯t think Lauren was qualified. Thedies of th pig families had been trained to behave properly since they were little but Lauren was not. ¡°Since Dana likes Herman, let¡¯s not go out to y today but go to the Bet family,¡± Theresa said, ¡°We have to stop Lauren from elling her rtionship with Herman to the Bet family.¡± Dana said, ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± She never treated Lauren as an opponent at all and she didn¡¯t believe Herman would like Lauren. ¡°I agree with Theresa,¡± Lisa said. Sally looked at Lisa in surprise because Lisa seldom got involved in their n. Lisa smiled and said, ¡°Since the matter can be resolved peacefully, then why not seize this opportunity to do it? We shouldn¡¯t nderestimate the enemy, and you should take the initiative.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Theresa apuded and then said to Dana, ¡°Go, let¡¯s go to Bet¡¯s house.¡± They had to hurry up and arrive before Lauren. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Chapter 58 All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. When they arrived in Bet¡¯s family, the maids were very busy Dans was a linie impatient, and the said to Sal leave.¡± Sally nodded and ordered the maids to leave. Theresa looked around and asked, ¡°What about your family? Where have they gone? Sally didn¡¯t know and she raised her head to look at the housekeeper Sally used them Leithame The housekeeper soon said. ¡°Mr. Bet senior went fishing. Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet went to a party Lauren and jeffery did not live here recently, as for Darren¡­¡± The housekeeper shook his head and continued, ¡°I don¡¯t know where he went.¡± ¡°Sally¡± Hearing this. Theresa gossiped. ¡°Is Darren really going abroad in the second half of the year? Sally nodded, ¡°It¡¯s true. He will leave after this semester.¡± Theresa sighed twice and said in surprise, ¡°I thought it was just a rumor. Didn¡¯t he say something or refuse to leave? Although Theresa and the other girls had a good rtionship with Sally, they were quite afraid of Darren, who seemed to be angry anytime and anywhere. They didn¡¯t know what word would igrate him. Lisa was now a little curious about Darren Speaking of Darren, Sally also felt strange. Since he ran out of the house that day, he didn¡¯t return. They were worried about Darren but they were not afraid that he would have no ce to live. Mrs. Bet thought he was in a bad mood and did not wantin go home, so she sent a maid to take care of him. Sally frowned and said, ¡°It was useless for him to say no this time. He didn¡¯te back home these days.¡± ¡°Probably he was angry,¡± Theresa guessed. Sally did not speak and she agreed with Theresa. They sat in the living room, chatting while eating fruit. Theresa even felt tired but Lauren didn¡¯te back. Then she turned hi yes to Lisa and asked, ¡°What time is it?¡± ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Laurene yet?¡± Theresa thought. Lisa shook her phone and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost six o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote!¡± Theresa¡¯s eyes widened and she rubbed her stomach, saying, ¡°It is almost time for dinner. I feel so angry now The housekeeper said immediately, ¡°Dinner is ready. You can go to the dining hall.¡± Sally stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to have dinner.¡± Then they went to the dining hall, and Theresa said, ¡°Will shee back?¡± Sally didn¡¯t care at all whether Lauren came back. It was none of her business if Lauren said that she liked Herman, after all, ally loved Sandy. But Sally knew that Dana liked Herman. So Sally raised her head and looked at Dana, wondering what Dana was thinking. Dana was already impatient and said angrily, ¡°Let the housekeeper call and ask. Will shee back or not?¡± ¡°Do you want me to call Lauren?¡± the butler overheard their conversation. Sally smiled at the housekeeper and exined, ¡°We met Lauren on the way so I thought she would go home tonight.¡± The housekeeper nodded, and then asked, ¡°So do I need to give her a call?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call her,¡± Sally took out her phone and called Lauren. Lauren was nestled on the sofa reading. She had a terrible headache today so she didn¡¯t want to work. There were a few call om theboratory, but she didn¡¯t want to pick them up. She just wanted to nest on the sofa alone. The book she was reading wa ne with the Wind. us years, she would often read it, but after she went to college, she had less time to read. ###novel### Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Lauren picked up the phone. Listening to the voice on the other side of the phone, Sally was aletle surprised and then the ked af Dansking ¡°Will you ¡°I didn¡¯te back either yesterday,¡± Lauren said. It meant that Lauren was asking Sally not to beat around the bush Sally exined, ¡°I want to ask someone to repair your car as soon as possible.¡± Lauren closed her eyes, and her tone was careless, ¡°Kelly has already had it repaired, and she will send the bill to youter Sally had thought Lauren might use this opportunity to let everyone know about her rtionship with Herman but surprisingly she didn¡¯t. After a moment of silence, Sally said, ¡°Your car looks good. Even if it is repaired, it may not be as good as before. If you need to assess the damage, you can tell me.¡± Lauren nodded and said, ¡°Well, Kelly will contact youter.¡± After speaking, Lauren hung up the phone. ¡°Did she just hang up the phone?¡± Theresa¡¯s eyes widened and so did the other two girls. Dana stared at the phone and didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Lisa tilted her head and thought about it, and then she suddenly burst outughing. Theresa looked at her and asked, ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°Iugh at you,¡± Lisa said, ¡°You guys are immersed in making up a story while Lauren didn¡¯t take it seriously at all Hearing this. Theresa¡¯s face was a little red because of embarrassment. She couldn¡¯t believe that Lauren would be so calm. It such a great opportunity for her but she didn¡¯t seize it! Sally put down her phone, raised her eyes to look at the housekeeper, and signaled him to take the maids to leave. So there only four of them left in the dining hall. Sally said, ¡°We got it wrong. Lauren has nothing to do with Herman.¡± ¡°Then why did she drive Herman¡¯s car?¡± Theresa was puzzled. ¡°Could it be¡­¡± Dana turned to Lisa. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me,¡± Lisa knew what Dana wanted to say and her voice was affirmative, ¡°That was Herman¡¯s car and I am pr sure about this.¡± ¡°Could it be that she was waiting for Herman to make their rtionship public,¡± Theresa said. Dana held her phone, without saying anything. Lisa was silent too, In the end, it was Sally who concluded the matter, ¡°She should know Herman, but they are not close to each other.¡± After this, Dana looked at Sally. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Sally exined, ¡°The Bet family once investigated her in order to find her and I saw her information in my mother¡¯s ¡°Go ahead,¡± Theresa urged. Sally thought for a while and said, ¡°Her background is very clean. She was adopted by an old doctor called Mr. Bach and always the top student in school. Then she was admitted to a top university with excellent grades and has been in theborat since. If she and Herman are very close, Jeffery will know that. So I guess she knows Herman but is not very close to him.¡± Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Chapter 60 ¡°So far, there is nothing wrong with Lauren but this doesn¡¯t mean anything.¡± Theresa thought and raised her eyebrows. She ce believed that if a person was powerful enough, he or she could know everything in the world but that was not true Theresa believed that the investigation done by Jeffery was not thorough and there must be something that they didn¡¯t know about Lauren. So Theresa didn¡¯t believe what Sally said and Dana and Lisa didn¡¯t believe either. They didn¡¯t believe that Lauren was a simple woman. Since Lauren sat in a man¡¯s luxury car, there must be a reason. So Theresa came up with an idea, ¡°Maybe we can ask a private detect to keep an eye on Lauren and Herman.¡± Lisa immediately red at Theresa and said, ¡°Are you crazy? If Herman knows¡­¡± Theresa¡¯s face turned pale, knowing she went too far so she quickly said, ¡°I am just kidding.¡± Dana frowned and said, ¡°If Lauren really has a rtionship with Herman, we will know.¡± Lisa, Dana, and Theresa stayed until after seven o¡¯clock in the evening. Sally did not leave with them but went back to her room to rest. Before Lauren came back to the Bet family, she was a little wary of her but after these days, Sally had already lost her defense. Lauren waspletely different from what Sally imagined. She was super cool and calm as if she cared about nothing. Even though the Bet family was one of the most powerful families, Lauren still decided to move out and did not show up for more than half a month, as if she had nothing to do with the Bet family. These days, Sally even sometimes forgot Lauren. Jeffery rarely returned home, but it was because he had a lot of work to do so Sally could often hear his name at home. Lauren was different. She had nothing to do with the Bet family. She didn¡¯t stay in the Bet family and she didn¡¯t want work at Bet¡¯spany. Even the shares of thepany that Grandpa gave her were entrusted to Jeffery. Sally was a little confused. Didn¡¯t Lauren care about money at all? Holding the pillow on the bed, Sally¡¯s mind was a mess and the really couldn¡¯t think of any answer, so she took her phone and called her mother Mona. Deep down in her heart, Sally looked down on Mona, feeling that she was simple-minded and ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . foolhardy, but Sally admitted th Mona had great intuition. Although Mona was not smart, she had good instincts. The reason why Mona could stay with Mr. Be or so many years was that she knew what to do in the critical moment. Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Though Mona made Lauren missing. Mr. Bet didn¡¯t me her for this. What¡¯s more, the gained huge profits from this mater Sally had to be elegant and kind in front of everyone so there were some things that couldn¡¯t be told to others. That was why the decided to give a call to her mother. Receiving her daughter¡¯s call, Mona was very happy because she was lonely and bored alone at home. She picked up the phone, ¡°Sally!¡± When facing Sally, Mona was always soft and even ttering. She was proud of Sally, who was smart and beautiful. In the past, Sally hated Mona¡¯s show-off posture. But today, Sally was a little happy to hear that. She then told Mona that she met Lauren today and saw Lauren sitting in a man¡¯s luxury car. Mona immediately asked, ¡°Was she someone¡¯s mistress?¡± Mona didn¡¯t think much and the first thing she thought was: if people know Lauren is someone¡¯s mistress, the Bet family must be ashamed of her. ¡°That is a good opportunity for us,¡± Mona said with excitement. ¡°You must make the Bet family know about Lauren being someone¡¯s mistress, so Mr. Bet would not tolerate her and Jeffery will definitely look down on her.¡± Sally frowned, a little regretting calling Mona because she didn¡¯t understand anything at all. Sally was silent for a long time so Mona asked her directly, ¡°Do you think I am rude and don¡¯t understand anything? But I know what you are thinking. You are waiting for the Bet family to put pressure on the Shaw family and to force Herman to marry Lauren.¡± Sally turned over on the bed and hugged the pillow, saying, ¡°Then why do you ask?¡± Mona sighed and thought her daughter thought too much. Then she said to Sally, ¡°I know what you are thinking. You want Lauren to marry into the Shaw family because you don¡¯t want her to marry well.¡± Sally was her daughter and Mona knew her well. Sally lowered her head. Mona continued, ¡°Sally, you should be focused before you could achieve your goals. Don¡¯t think you can get anything you want. otherwise, you might lose everything you have.¡± Sally was stunned when she heard this. Mona said, ¡°Don¡¯t care about whom Lauren was going to marry, and just do you want to do. You should keep in mind that if Lauren is someone¡¯s mistress, she would never be able to marry Sandy again.¡± The Effie family would never ept her if this was Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. true. Mona was different from Sally. Although she is simple-minded, if she had a clear goal, she would stick to it. For example, she wanted money so she tried her best to stay with Mr. Bet as his mistress for more than 20 years. It didn¡¯t matter if she lost her self-respect, because she got what she wanted. Later, she hoped that her daughter lives a good life so she deliberately made Lauren missing, and sent her daughter to the Bet family. Although Mona had been separated from Sally for more than ten years, Mona was still happy because her daughter lived a better life in the Bet family. The more focused one was, the easier he could seed. If one wants too much, he might not get a single one. So if Sally wanted to marry Sandy, so she shouldn¡¯t care if Lauren married well or not. His Secret Mama Wie Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Arms. Mona¡¯s words made Sally think. After hanging up the phone, Sallyy on the hedging the ears of the cuffed de Although Mona was hot smart, one of her biggest advantages ges will that she was clear about what she wanted and socks it. She was right. If Sally wanted to marry Sandy, she shouldn¡¯t care too much about others Dana¡¯s love for Herman had nothing to do with me and the first thing for me to do was to make it impossible for Lauren in marry into the Effie family.¡± Sally thought. Her fingertips tapped a few times on the doll¡¯s head and then came up with an idea In the living room of the Bet¡¯s house Almost all members were there, including Darren, who had not appeared for a long time. He was lying on the sofa and supporting his chin. Mr. Bet senior was still upstairs and Sally sat down next to Darren, saying, ¡°How are you recently? Are you going toe back home? Seeing this, Mrs. Bet also looked at Darren with expectation. Darren raised his eyes but ignored Sally. He came back because of Lauren. If it weren¡¯t for Lauren, he would note back forever. Receiving a call from his mother, saying that Lauren might be Herman Shaw¡¯s mistress, Darren was so shocked. He couldn¡¯ believe it. He thought that was impossible. Darren would never believe that Lauren was someone¡¯s mistress. Darren also remembered that Bob called Lauren his friend with envy in his eyes ¡°What is he envying? Was Bob envying that I am Lauren¡¯s brother?¡± Darren thought and was still very confused. Darren actually was very smart, but sometimes he couldn¡¯t control his temper. He remembered Lauren¡¯s indifference in her room that day and was immersed in thinking. After leaving Bob, Darren went to test his blood. The result really surprised him! There was actually that substance in his blood which meant someone in his family tried to hurt him! Since then, Darren moved out and he didn¡¯t know who to trust. He didn¡¯t tell his to anyone yet. Darren loved and trusted all his family members so he did not want to suspect them or face them, and that was why he moved ut. Perhaps, going abroad was a good thing for him. After knowing that irritability was not his nature, Darren deliberately suppressed it. Therefore, during this time, he was much almer than before. Mr. Bet senior still had note downstairs, and Mr. Bet junior was already burst into a rage. He called Lauren man imes, wanting to know about the rtionship between Lauren and Herman Shaw. Mrs. Bet said next to Mr. Bet junior, ¡°We still don¡¯t know the truth yet. Let¡¯s wait for your father toe down to mak lecision.¡± After knowing Lauren might be Herman Shaw¡¯s mistress, Mrs. Bet All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. was also very angry. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Though Mrs. Bet was angry, she also felt more sorry for Lauren. She was guessing that maybe Lauren met some difficulties so she had to be Herman¡¯s mistress. It was difficult for a beautiful woman to climb the socialdder without the support of the family ¡°Dad,¡± Sally poured a cup of tea for her father and patted his back, saying. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry Please believe Lauren. Maybe it is not true at all. Anger is not good for your health¡± Mr. Bet junior turned to look at Sally and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. ¡°Sally is a great daughter! She is smart and considerate!¡± Mr. Bet junior thought,¡± As for Lauren, I shouldn¡¯t have found her back. She was a shame! I will lose face because of her!¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . When Mr. Bet junior thought of Lauren, he said in disgust, ¡°But it is true that she was sitting in a luxury car. She is just a student and how could she afford this car? Even if this car is not Herman¡¯s, it must be others.¡± Sally thought for a while and exined, ¡°Maybe she bought it herself. Didn¡¯t grandpa just give the shares of thepany to her?¡± ¡°Silly girl,¡± Mr. Bet junior was amused and patted Sally¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Shares are not cash. I know your mother gave her a car and I gave her a credit card, but it was definitely not enough to buy a car like that.¡± Of course Sally knew this and she just pretended to care about Lauren to make a good image for herself. Jeffery had been sitting on the sofa, using his phone to do his work. He was asked to go back home by his mother in a panic so he thought something big happened, but it turned out to be just a rumor. Jeffery wanted to leave soon after arriving home, but because his grandfather had note down yet, so he was still here. After a while, Mr. Bet senior took the elevator down. His legs became worse and worse, so he needed help when walking. ¡°Father,¡± Mr. Bet junior supported his father to sit down while holding his phone, saying, ¡°I have asked someone tu investigate this matter.¡± Mr. Bet Senior raised his eyes and nced at Mr. Bet junior quietly, sighing, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid if the Shaw Family knows about this?¡± ¡°This is not a business matter but it is rted to the reputation of the Bet family so I have to be cautious, ¡°Mr. Bet junior seemed to be sure that Lauren was Herman¡¯s mistress and wanted to punish her as soon as possible. Mr. Bet senior did not directly scold Mr. Bet junior but said, ¡°Call Lauren back. After all, she is family and we should ask her about this first.¡± ¡°Will she tell us the truth?¡± Mr. Bet junior frowned and insisted, ¡°I am afraid that she would deny it!¡± Mr. Bet senior couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and hit Mr. Bet junior hard with a crutch, ¡°She is your daughter! How can you not believe her?¡± Seeing this, Mr. Bet junior was even angrier. He thought he was caring about the Bet¡¯s reputation. If it was true that Lauren is Herman¡¯s mistress, she would be a shame for the Bet family! All the family members would lose face because of her! Mr. Bet senior didn¡¯t agree with Mr. Bet junior, so he asked the housekeeper to take his phone and decided to call Lauren himself. At least they should have a talk at first. It took a long time before the phone was picked up. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Sally sat quietly on the sofa with a calm face but she was still acting like she was worried about Lauren. She didn¡¯t care whether Lauren was Herman¡¯s mistress or not, because it was not easy for Lauren to deny it. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. If Lauren was Herman¡¯s mistress, that would be the best result for Sally. But even if she was, the Bet would not ask Herman in person if Lauren was his mistress. As long as Lauren was sitting in his car, she couldn¡¯t deny that she had something to do with Herman. No matter what Lauren said, the Bet family would not let her marry Sandy. After all, marriage could be a good way to connect two families. Sally also believed that if Grandpa called, Lauren would have to answer the phone. Sally guessed that Lauren might deny this or keep silent if Grandpa asked her about her rtionship with Herman Anyway, Lauren had toe back and exin this in person. Thinking of this, Sally couldn¡¯t control the excitement in her heart because Sally had been thinking about this for a long time. However, things did not happen as she thought. The person who answered the phone was not Lauren but Kelly. Kelly said with excitement. ¡°Lauren is in theboratory right now and she couldn¡¯te out to pick up the phone. Is it okay that she calls backter? Should I take a message for you?¡± Sally sneered silently. Mr. Bet junior, who heard this, frowned and looked impatient, saying, ¡°Father, let her call Lauren right now.¡± Mrs. Bet senior ignored Mr. Bet junior, but instead chatted with Kelly, ¡°Are you Lauren¡¯s assistant?¡± ¡°Yes, my name is Kelly,¡± she introduced herself enthusiastically. Mr. Bet senior smiled and said, ¡°I once wanted to send Lauren an assistant. It¡¯s great that you are with her right now.¡± Hearing this, Kelly was a little embarrassed and said, ¡°I was sent to help Lauren by Mr. Shaw.¡± In fact, Kelly was not the best potential for Lauren¡¯s assistant, but because she and Lauren were close in age, so Herman decide to let her be Lauren¡¯s assistant. Mr. Bet senior didn¡¯t turn on the speaker but every one of the Bet family in the living room hear it clearly. They heard Herman Shaw¡¯s name. Mr. Bet junior began to frown and Mrs. Bet became nervous. It seemed that Herman was very concerned about Lauren Was it possible that Lauren and Herman were in love with each other right now? Mr. Bet senior paused and then asked Kelly, ¡°Were you saying Mr. Shaw from the MYpany?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Kelly exined, ¡°He is from MYpany.¡± Kelly knew Mr. Bet senior was a little confused, so she exined, ¡°Laure is the leader of the research and development department in MYpany.¡± His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Hearing what Kelly said, everyone in the living room was stunned. They almost forgot that Lauren was a high-achieving postgraduate student in biology so she could work at well-known enterprises. The strange thing was that she was just a stuff member but Herman chose an assistant to her in person. Mr. Bet senior also thought of this. He smiled and asked, ¡°It seems that Mr. Shaw pays much attention to Lauren.¡± Kelly also smiled and said. ¡°Yes, Lauren is very important to MYpany She is one of the shareholders of MY and she made great contributions to the research and development of the products in MY.¡± And then Kelly continued, ¡°You can even google her. She is an excellent scientist and schr and known as he most outstanding young scientist in biology in the past ten years.¡± Everyone was pretty shocked and Darren said, ¡°I had to leave now.¡± Jeffery also said that he had to leave because of work. Only Sally sat on the sofa with an embarrassed expression on her face. She Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. remembered what she just said and bit her lower lip hard, feeling more embarrassed. ¡°How could it be? How could Lauren be a scientist? She doesn¡¯t look like a scientist at all,¡± Sally thought. In order to verify it, Sally took out her phone and searched Lauren on the Inte. Soon Lauren¡¯s information popped up. Most of it was her wonderful achievements and honors. Sally stared at a line of words in disbelief: the first prize of the International Biology Olympiad. Mrs. Bet was also surprised and she took out her phone, starting to search Lauren. She started to realize how great her daughter was and suddenly felt embarrassed when she remembered that she once called Lauren¡¯s teacher and asked her to let Lauren quit her job in theb. That teacher must haveughed at her at that moment! Mr. Bet senior was extremely happy to know this and then asked more about Lauren. Actually, Mr. Bet senior didn¡¯t know much about what happened after Lauren was five years old so he wanted to know from Kelly. ¡°Lauren is so great!¡± Mr. Bet senior eximed and was very proud of Lauren. ¡°Yes,¡± Kelly agreed excitedly because she admired Lauren very much. Kelly continued. ¡°The brand of MY was set up by Lauren who extract the important substance. Lauren was not only the shareholder but also the most important member in research and development department.¡± ¡°There was a trick problem that remained to be solved but the R&D team could not solve it for half a year. Mr. Shaw invited Lauren to MY and just within three days, it was solved! Lauren gained much respect in our R&D department which was made up of many famous scientists.¡± Mr. Bet senior smiled and said, ¡°I am so proud of Lauren!¡± Kelly nodded and said, ¡°Lauren was capable of doing everything!¡± His Secret Millionairess Wife Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Chapter 66 After hanging up the phone. Mr. Bet senior was still smiling. When the servants saw this, they all Lauren. Suddenly a female voice came, ¡°Father, I heard that Lauren was back! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Hearing this voice, everyone in the room was surprised and then the housekeeper took the maids to wee her. ra Bet, the eldest daughter of Mr. Bet senior, was back! Seeing his daughter, the smile on Mr. Bet senior¡¯s face became even brighter. He said, ¡°You never answer my phone and how can I inform you?¡± Speaking of this, Mr. Bet senior seemed to remember something, and the joy on his face was All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. reced by dissatisfaction. Heined, ¡°How many years you haven¡¯te back home?¡± He was getting older, and the most important thing for him was to sta with his family. Mr. Bet senior almost cried when he saw his daughter ra. At this moment, Mr. Bet¡¯s feelings were veryplicated. He was happy to see his daughter but he alsoined to his daughter about noting back for so many years. He missed her very much. The loss of Lauren back then brought a very heavy blow to both the Bet and the Betty family. Mrs. Bet¡¯s mother held up crutch to beat Mr. Bet junior. At that time, Mr. Bet and Mrs. Bet were almost on the verge of divorce. At that time, Jeffery was still very young, only 10 years old. After knowing his sister was missing, he locked himself in his room and didn¡¯t eat anything for three days. The whole Bet family was in chaos. Mr. Bet senior was lying sick in bed and Mr. Bet had to kneel on the ground apologize to everyone. The Betty family med him, and Tiffany almost went crazy. The family was a mess and only supported by ra Bet, who was just less than 30 years old. While reassuring her family, she was trying her best to look for Lauren. She also had to work at her praised her. However, only Mr. Bet senior knew how much pressure she was under. Tiffany loved Lauren because she was her mother but for ra, Lauren was her spiritual pir. When she knew Lauren was missing, it was a disaster for ra. ra¡¯s life was not smooth. Not long after her marriage, her husband died in a car ident, an the shock caused her to miscarry. ra even wanted tomit suicide. It was Tiffany who brought the newborn Lauren to her hospital bed and told her that sh would be her daughter in the future. ra watched the baby and held her little hand. She thought she shouldn¡¯t give up. After she recovered, ra regarded Laure her daughter. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Chapter 67 It can be said that when Lauren was little. ra spent more time with her than her mother. After the Bet family was stabilized, ra went abroad alone and didn¡¯t return for more than ten years. ra came back with a girl in her twenties. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. When Mrs. Bet saw this girl, a smile appeared on her face and she said, ¡°You must be Erica.¡± ra, who was talking to Mr. Bet senior, heard this and immediately said with a smile, ¡°I forgot to introduce her! She is Erica Finn.¡± The Bet family knew Erica, but they didn¡¯t see her in person. Erica was the daughter of ra¡¯s assistant, who had been with ra for many years. ra liked Erica very much because she didn¡¯t have her own child. Erica was not supposed to be so close to ra but when she was 12 years old, her mother, ra¡¯s assistant died of liver cancer, and Erica became a child without a mother.

Erica was very filial to ra and was kind to her. Slowly, ra treated Erica as her daughter. When ra was abroad alone, everyone in the Bet family was worried about her, and they were a little relieved when they knew she was apanied by Erica. Mrs. Bet lovingly grabbed Erica¡¯s hand and praised her repeatedly. ¡°She is so good-looking.¡± Sally sat next to Mrs. Bet, hugged her arm, and said, ¡°Mom. Don¡¯t forget me! I am your daughter!¡± ¡°You little girl,¡± Mrs. Bet turned around and nodded the tip of Sally¡¯s nose. Because ra returned, the maids started to get busy, some preparing lunch while some cleaning up the room. Mrs. Bet wa happy and asked ra, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ra said with excitement, ¡°I am not hungry right now. Where is Lauren? I really miss her!¡± ra suppressed the tears in her eyes. Hearing this, Erica, who was sitting beside ra, lowered her head in sadness. Erica had been concerned about this since she was abroad, not because she was curious about Lauren and cared about her, but because she was always reminded of Lauren by someone around her. Erica was adopted by ra, but she still had no right to inher ra¡¯s property. ra had no children and she would definitely give Erica arge inheritance in the future. But now the situation was different Lauren, who ra cared about most, was back now! Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Mr. Bet senior called Lauren and it was still Kelly who answered the phone, saying that Lauren was conducting a very important experiment and that it would take a long time before she finished. After Mrs. Bet heard this, she frowned and said with displeasure. ¡°How could Lauren still be doing her stupid experiment? Is that experiment more important than her family? You go straight into theb and ask her toe back home right now.¡± Kelly hesitated. Mr. Bet, different from Tiffany, knew how important the experiment was to Lauren. The research that Lauren was doing was of great value. So he asked Kelly, ¡°So Lauren can¡¯te back home right now?¡± Kelly didn¡¯t know much about Lauren¡¯s experiment but she asked Lauren¡¯s ssmates and they said the experiment was very important. Hearing this, Mr. Bet hurriedly said. ¡°Then don¡¯t disturb her. Please tell her toe back home and tell her Aunt ra is back.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Kelly responded, ¡°As soon as Laurenes out of theb, I will tell her immediately.¡± Hanging up the phone, Mr. Bet senior looked at ra. ra smiled brightly and there was no displeasure on her face. She said proudly, ¡°Lauren is so great!¡± For so many years, ra had thought about many possibilities for Lauren¡¯s life. She even thought Lauren was sold by the human trader into a poor country. But fortunately, Lauren was better than she thought. For so many years, ra had been praying for the safety of Lauren and she did a lot of good deeds, including donating a lot of money to the impoverished area. She believed Lauren could be helped if she spread kindness. Since Lauren was back. ra could wait for her. ¡°I am okay with that. I am going upstairs to sleep for a while. Don¡¯t urge Lauren toe back since the experiment is very important to her. Safetyes first. I could wait for her toe back. Mr. Bet senior nodded. The maid quickly led ra and Erica upstairs. And then Mr. Bet senior turned to Tiffany. Now that Erica had gone upstair he reprimanded Tiffany, ¡°What were you talking about? Even if you don¡¯t know Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. how important the experiment is, don¡¯t act like a fool.¡± This was the first time that Mr. Bet, who was most of the time a peacemaker in the family, criticized Tiffany so Tiffany looked at him in shock. Mr. Bet couldn¡¯t understand why Tiffany, Lauren¡¯s mother, didn¡¯t care about Lauren. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense in the future. Remember that Lauren is your daughter,¡± Mr. Bet said. Hearing this, Tiffany¡¯s face turned red because of embarrassment.

Kelly was an excellent assistant, and she immediately brought food. Lauren sat in the rest room and Kelly poured a cup of water for her and then sat next to her. Kelly whispered, ¡°Lauren, your grandpa just called, saying that your Aunt ra is back and she wants to see you as soon as possible.¡± Lauren paused for a while. Jeffery once mentioned ra to her and said she loved her very much. But ra was abroad and could not be contacted. So Lauren decided toe back home to see her aunt. After finishing lunch, Lauren changed her clothes and then returried to the Bet family with Kelly The Bet¡¯s house was near the foot of the mountain, surrounded by a tourist area, but only part of it was open, and the rest was used by the Bet family The Bet family even builtrge tourist areas, which include hospitals, resort hotels, and ¡°office areas. Hospitals and hotels were open to the public but the ¡®office area¡¯ was where the Bet family lived. Kelly drove the car and was stopped at the gate.

Kelly entered the scenic area and then drove to a ce close to the house. Lauren got out of the car and slowly walked towards the house. All the way was electronic equipment. The Bet¡¯s house was surrounded by many precious trees. Lauren, who was wearing a pair of light shoes, stepped on the gras and walked slowly, but suddenly a familiar voice came into her ears. She stopped. ¡°Why are you so unhappy?¡± The man¡¯s voice was a littlenguid. ¡°No, I am not,¡± it was Sally¡¯s voice. ¡°Come on,¡± the manughed, ¡°We grew up together and I know you so well.¡± The man leaned on the tree. And after a while, he asked, ¡°Is it because of Lauren?¡± ¡°No,¡± Sally stopped the man. The man sighed. He knew what was going on. When he arrived at the Bet family just now, ra kept repeating that she liked him very much and also mentioned the marriage between him and Lauren. ¡°Are you afraid that I might love her?¡± the man suddenly approached.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, which startled Lauren and Sandy who were behind the tree. They turned their heads and saw Kelly running to Lauren who said, ¡°Lauren, why didn¡¯t you go into the house yet?¡± pale. It turned out to be Lauren! Sally and Sandy widened their eyes. Did she hear their conversation? Sally¡¯s face immediately turned Sandy grabbed Sally¡¯s trembling hand andforted her silently. Even though Lauren heard their conversation, what she can do? There was nothing wrong to call her greedy. Sandy walked from behind the tree, intending to argue with Lauren. Dressed in a casual suit, Sandy walked out and blocked Lauren¡¯s way. ¡°Did you hear our conversation?¡± Sandy said with his hands in his pocket. He raised his chin and his expression was arrogant. He was ready to argue with Lauren and he would take responsibility if Lauren med Sally. Lauren raised her eyes and nced at him. She just passed by him and walked toward the house. Lauren was rather calm as if she didn¡¯t hear anything. She ignored Sandypletely. Sandy was surprised! No one had ever neglected him like her. He walked quickly and blocked in front of Lauren. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Lauren was a little confused and she looked a little innocent. ¡°What should I say?¡± Lauren asked. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Suddenly, Sandy didn¡¯t know what to say. He had always been the center of his social life and the best among his peers. It was the first time that he didn¡¯t know what to say in front of a woman. However, he quickly restarted the topic. ¡°Did you hear my conversation with Sally?¡± Lauren thought for a while and said, ¡°If you mean what you and Sally said behind the tree 3 minutes ago, then I did hear it Hearing this, Sandy sneered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you have a hobby of eavesdropping on others.¡± Lauren raised her eyebrows as if she was saying, ¡°So what?¡± Again, Sandy didn¡¯t know what to say. He deliberately wanted to anger Lauren and then argue with her. But he didn¡¯t expect Lauren would act like this. She was not a normal person. Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Sandy was surprised with Lauren¡¯s reaction but he had to keep arguing with her. ¡°Since you heard our conversation, I will be straightforward,¡± Sandy¡¯s voice suddenly became cold and Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. he continued, ¡°Don¡¯t be so greedy. For so many years, it has always been Sally who takes care of Mr. and Mrs. Bet. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed to get the shares in the Bet¡¯spany without doing anything?¡± Lauren was silent for a moment and actually, she agreed with Sandy in certain degree. So she nodded and said, ¡°Well, I really shouldn¡¯t take the shares in thepany.¡± Sandy was dumbfounded again and he was like: (0) ¡°Why is she so calm?¡± Sandy thought. Sandy didn¡¯t know how to continue this topic, because he had thought that Lauren would refute him and say that she should take the shares. Then he could be righteous and refute her with reasons. But now he had to change the topic, saying, ¡°Our families had decided to be connected by marriage but I hope you should know that the one I love is Sally.¡± This time, Lauren did not say anything but raised her eyes to take a nce at Sandy. Sandy was a little embarrassed under her eyesight, as if in Lauren¡¯s eyes, he was just an unimportant object. Sandy frowned because he didn¡¯t like being treated like this. Lauren had always been calm and she rarely got too excited or angry with something. However, this did not mean that she would tolerate others again and again. She didn¡¯t want to argue with Sandy and Sally at all but they kept irritating her. So Lauren made up her mind. Since they didn¡¯t take a step back, then she would not tolerate them again. There was no need to be kind to them! Lauren thought in mind. ¡°Who are supposed to get married ording to our families¡¯ decision?¡± Sally asked and she was still expressionless with a very powerful vibe. Sandy changed his expression, feeling that he was being suppressed by Lauren. Then he spoke, ¡°They wanted us to get married, but¡­.¡± Before he could finished, he was interrupted by Lauren. Lauren was impatient already, and said, ¡°Then things would be easy for us.¡± When Sally on the side heard this, her heart suddenly beat fast and she thought Lauren was going to marry Sandy. At this moment, Lauren said, ¡°Since we don¡¯t like each other, we should just call off the engagement.¡± What? Sandy and Sally were both shocked. Sally immediately said to Lauren, ¡°What are you talking about? This is decided by two families! How can you call off it?¡± Sandy also said to Lauren in a mocking voice, ¡°Who do you think you are? You have no right to call off it!¡± Hearing this, Lauren chuckled. After raising her head, she said proudly. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Hearing this, Sally suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately apologized, ¡°Lauren, please don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s all my fault. You didn¡¯t take any things from me. All this is yours.¡± ¡°Sally!¡± Sandy pulled her over and protected her behind him, sneering. ¡°I don¡¯t believe she has the right to call off the engagement.¡± ¡°You can say that I have no right,¡± Lauren raised her eyes, saying. But I am sure that your family would never allow you to marry an illegitimate child of the Bet family.¡± At that moment, Sally immediately raised her head and stared at Lauren with red eyes. ¡°How does she know?¡± Sally was surprised. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Lauren ignored Sally and continued, ¡°A bastard.¡± She wanted to say that Sally¡¯s mother was just a mistress, but she felt this might hurt Sally so she stopped. But she continued, ¡°Do you think the Effie family would ept you when they know you are the illegitimate child of the Bet family.¡± Sandy looked at Sally, not knowing how to react. Sally clenched her fingers, stared at Lauren, and said word by word, ¡°How do you know?¡± ¡°It is impossible! She couldn¡¯t know that!¡± Sally thought. Sally couldn¡¯t figure it out why Lauren would know this secret. In fact, she looked like Mona and had the slightest resemnce to Mr. Bet. No one would thought she might be his illegitimate daughter at all. ¡°Is it hard to guess?¡± Lauren calmly asked, ¡°In the whole Bet family, only my parents and Darren are biased to you. Darren grew up with you and you once apanied my mom for that hard period so I could understand their bias to you.¡± There was surprise and fear in her eyes when Sally looked at Lauren. Sally couldn¡¯t believe that Lauren could be so careful. ¡°What do you want?¡± Sally gave up pretending to be a soft and gentle woman, and asked, ¡°You want to tell this to the members of the Bet family?¡± Sally sneered, ¡°Your mother almost went insane after you were lost. If you tell this to her right now, aren¡¯t you afraid to make her crazy again? How could she ept this?¡± Lauren lowered her head and seemed to considerate. Seeing this, Sally continued, ¡°Grandpa knows this and he acquiesces to my existence. Do you still want to tell this to them? If you tell this to Mom, it must be bad to her health and the Bet family would not like you as a result. Even Grandpa and Jeffery would me you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Lauren said to Sally. Sally thought she finally managed to persuade Lauren into not telling this to the Bet family. However, she saw Lauren suddenly turning to Sandy. ¡°Now you know this,¡± Lauren¡¯s tone was still calm, I think now you don¡¯t want to marry such a scheming woman.¡± Sally was shocked. She focused on preventing Lauren from telling the truth to the Bet family, but she forgot that Sandy was Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. also here. In Sandy¡¯s mind, Sally had always been kind and knowledgeable. If he knew that she was hiding her identity in order to stay in the Bet family, he would definitely dislike her. Thinking of this, Lauren was extremely nervous, and subconsciously looked at Sandy pleadingly, but he didn¡¯t look at her. Sandy just left, leaving Sally and Lauren alone. ¡°Sandy!¡± Sally was desperate. ¡°It¡¯s over! They are done because of Lauren!¡± Sally stared at Lauren in anger. Lauren lowered her head and fiddled her fingers, saying, ¡°I told you to piss off!¡± Sally immediately said, ¡°This is your real purpose! You want to separate Sandy and me!¡± ¡°From beginning to end, her purpose was to make it impossible for her to marry Sandy.¡± Sandy thought. Lauren ignored her and directly walked towards the door, saying when she passed Sally, ¡°Don¡¯t make any trouble for me.¡± Lauren didn¡¯t like ying tricks unless someone kept irritating her. She doesn¡¯t like the twists and turns of the intrigue, and rarely shoots, but when she shoots, she will hit the snake seven inches! Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Lauren walked toward the gate of the vi, and as soon as she walked into the door, a maid rushed out from inside. Lauren had no time to dodge her and was hit hard. She looked up saw disgust in the maid¡¯s eyes. Lauren was a little surprised. She knew this maid but was not sure about her name. Everyone called her Larry, who had been serving the Bet family for a long time. She apanied Aunt ra and Sally when they were little so everyone in the Bet showed respect to Larry: Larry no longer worked but she was still allowed to stay in the Bet family. After Lauren returned to the Bet family, she only met Larry a few times and they seldom talked. Larry ignored Lauren and hurriedly ran to the phone, saying, ¡°Drive a car here! Erica was in danger! Be quick!¡± Sally took a few steps forward and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Erica?¡± Larry held Sally¡¯s hand with tears falling down her face. Her lips even trembled, ¡°She, shemitted suicide by taking a lot of pills!¡± ¡°What?¡± Sally was shocked. She didn¡¯t have much contact with Erica, and just had a brief chat with her this afternoon. She thought Erica was a gentle and soft girl and was also very considerate to other people¡¯s feelings. Why did shemit suicide? Hearing this, Larry took a nce at Lauren with angry eyes, and said in a gloomy voice, ¡°There is no other reason. She shouldn¡¯te back to this family.¡± Even Larry red at Lauren and even if she didn¡¯t say her name, they all knew she was talking about and ming Lauren. Sally was a little confused. Why did this have to do with Lauren? She juste back. Then Larry said, ¡°After Erica knew that Lauren was back, she thought someone could take care of ra. She didn¡¯t want Lauren and ra to be embarrassed. You know, she is a sensitive girl. So she took pills to Lauren stood behind them and did not say anything for a long time. Actually, she didn¡¯t know what she could say. How could they me this on her? She had never seen Erica so far. The Bet family was already in chaos and no one cared about Lauren at all. ra looked at Erica, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and weak breath. She was still unconscious. After the car arrived, ra left, followed by Mr. Bet and Sally. Lauren took a nce at the gate and Mrs. Bet quickly blocked in front of her, saying in a cold voice, ¡°Don¡¯t follow. Erica wouldn¡¯t want to see you, Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. Larry, who was standing next to Mrs. Bet, saw Sally expressionless and no worry on her face, so she said angrily to Laurer ¡°Ericamitted suicide because of you and you don¡¯t even feel guilty. How could you be so indifferent? Erica suffered this all because of you!¡± Thinking of Erica, who was lying on the bed with a face as white as paper, Larry feel sorry for her. In Larry¡¯s eyes, Erica was a great girl. Even she didn¡¯te back for many years, Erica would send many things to Larry and told her to take care of herself. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Thinking of Erica, such a beautiful girl, whomitted suicide because of Lauren, a selfish and indifferent person. Larry became more and more resentful of Lauren, Mrs. Bet frowned with disgust on her face. ¡°Your grandfather is upstairs. You go and see him. After that, you should leave. Don¡¯t stay here in recent days.¡± Lauren did not say anything and went upstairs directly to see her grandfather. ¡°Wait,¡± Mrs. Bet stopped Lauren after she took a few steps, ¡°Although you are my daughter, Sally and Erica are also the members of the Bet family. If I know that you are bullying them, I will never spare you.¡± Seeing that Lauren did not react, Mrs. Bet became more irritable and said angrily, ¡°You¡¯d better be kind, otherwise, I will chase you out of this family!¡± This time, Lauren finally reacted. She looked back at her mother. Mrs. Bet continued. ¡°Even if your grandpa protects you, I will let you leave here!¡± Lauren was speechless. She didn¡¯t want to stay here at all and if it weren¡¯t for her grandfather, she wouldn¡¯t have stepped into this house at all. Lauren ignored her mother, went upstairs, and talked with Mr. Bet senior for a while. And then she returned to college. Erica¡¯s situation was not good and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, the Bet family asked the best doctors with superb medical skills to save Erica. After sleeping for three days, Erica woke up. Her once beautiful red lips was now pale. ra was worried about her so much. ¡°Mom,¡± Because she had been sleeping for too long, her voice was hoarse, ¡°Am I in a dream?¡± ra held Erica¡¯s hand. It seemed that Erica was surprised by ra¡¯s grip, and then she revealed a satisfied smile, saying, ¡°I must be in a dream! Only in dreams would Mom hold my hand.¡± Erica closed her eyes and put ra¡¯s hand on her cheek, saying, ¡°I am so happy. I wish I was your daughter! But only in my dreams, I dare to think of this and call you Mom.¡± Hearing this, ra finally cried, ¡°You are my daughter.¡± At this moment. Erica opened her eyes immediately and her eyes were bright like stars. ¡°Really?¡± Erica looked at ra with expectation. ra nodded heavily and said, ¡°From now on, I will tell the public that I am your mother.¡± Erica smiled brightly and muttered, ¡°Even this is a dream, I am still satisfied.¡± Two monthster, Lauren was told by Herman that ra was going to hold a banquet to tell everyone that Erica was her daughter.

They even don¡¯t inform you that ra was going to tell the public that Erica is her daughter.¡± At first, Kelly was happy that Lauren would go back together with her family but now she thought it would be better if Lauren hadn¡¯t returned to the Bet family. Now they were going to hold a big banquet and they even didn¡¯t tell anything about this to Lauren! So if she didn¡¯t attend that day, many people would criticize her. Kelly chanted next to Lauren for a long time, but found that Lauren did not react. Kelly turned her head, and saw Lauren immersed in the research again. Some time ago, Lauren¡¯s paper was published in several top scientific magazines, and many famous universities invited her to give lectures. So Lauren didn¡¯t care much about the Bet family. During this time, she spent a whole day in the think about others. Sometimes she would call Leo. Lauren rubbed her sore neck, and looked at Kelly, saying, ¡°What did you just say?¡± Kelly, ¡°¡­¡± It turned out that Lauren didn¡¯t hear anything about herint. So she repeated what she said again, telling her that her aunt ra was going to tell the public that Erica was her daughter. Lauren nodded, calmly. Kelly leaned over and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you think Ericamitted suicide on purpose?¡± Hearing this, Lauren turned her head to look at Kelly. Seeing Lauren looking at himself, Kelly immediately widened her eyes, like a dog waiting for Lauren¡¯s praise. ¡°In some degree, you are smart,¡± Lauren said. Kelly was so happy because of Lauren¡¯s praise and she continued, ¡°How could your aunt not know that?¡± This time, Lauren did not say anything, but chuckled. Kelly blinked her eyes, not knowing why. Lauren nced at her and said, ¡°Aunt ra is a very smart and sophisticated woman and I am sure she know about this. She must know that Erica didn¡¯tmit suicide because of me.¡± The more Kelly listened, the more confused she became. Since ra knew this, why did she tell the public that Erica was her daughter?

Though it was not Lauren¡¯s fault, ra chose Erica over Lauren. Because of her partiality, even if ra knew Lauren was innocent, she was still not willing to me Erica.

No matter what they do, they could not change me a little bit.¡± ¡°Will you go to the banquet after 7 days?¡± Kelly asked. ¡°On that day, there was something more important,¡± Lauren answered. Before Kelly could remember what important thing was, she flew abroad with Lauren. Lauren gave speeches at various famous colleges.

Although ra missed Lauren so much, who had been lost for many years, she cared more about Erica, who had been by her side for more than ten years. Before Erica¡¯s suicide, she didn¡¯t find out. Now ra realized how important Erica was to her. They had already established their rtionship as mother and daughter for so many years of apany.
