Chapter 265
A Tool
After probing whether Lauren was really ignorant of it, Patrick replied truthfully, "Benjamin took Harper directly to the hospital. I asked someone to inquire about it. She is indeed pregnant, and he didn't know it just now." Lauren fell silent, her face pale and bloodless.
He asked, "Lauren, he won't marry you. Do you still plan to wait for him? Look, Harper is now pregnant with his baby. He doesn't take you seriously. What keeps you so captivated by him?" Lauren gritted her teeth hard as Patrick's words gradually intensified her dissatisfaction.
She stood up from the sofa and glared at him blankly. "I'm going back now. I'll leave today's affairs to you."
Patrick squinted his eyes slightly, his face a little gloomy. He asked indifferently, "Lauren, so are you going to throw me away after using me?"
Lauren frowned.
Patrick sneered, "Lauren, I never do loss-making business."
With that said, he reached out, pulled Lauren into his arms, and directly kissed her on the lips without giving her any chance to resist.
Two hours later, Lauren drove away from the villa with messy hair, a mask, and a hat.
She gripped the steering wheel with both hands, expressionless and emotionless.
While driving along, Lauren felt a pang in her heart and was annoyed.
Arriving at the riverside, she stopped, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. With her cell phone in hand, she hesitated for a while and finally dialed a number. Soon the call was connected.
A man's deep voice came. "Hello? Are you still up so late?"
"Do you know Harper is pregnant?" Lauren asked coldly.
The man on the other side of the phone was quiet for a moment before asking, "Who told you?"
"It isn't important. What's crucial is your unawareness, isn't it? So she doesn't regard you as a friend at all Maybe in her eyes, you are just a tool to do things. If she really treats you as a friend, why doesn't she tell you such a significant thing?" Lauren was a little excited. She held the cigarette to her mouth and took a long drag. Just as she was about to speak further, the man abruptly ended the call.
She glared at her phone, snorted, and threw it aside. When she observed the night sky, her mood changed drastically. She wouldn't give up.
Lauren thought, "I won't let Harper succeed. Benjamin is mine, and he can only be mine. He owes me all this." She made up her mind firmly.
The next day, Harper was ordered by Benjamin to rest at home for a day. Moreover, he said, "If you want to go to the construction site again in the future, ask the driver to take you there. I will arrange a driver for you."
Harper glanced at him. "I won't pay him."
"I will."
"Whatever."
"Anything else?"
Benjamin looked down at Harper.
She didn't fully grasp his meaning and was slightly stunned before saying uncertainly, "Thanks?"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
