She followed the police into the interrogation room with light steps and curiosity.
But...
When her eyes saw the man sitting in the room, her anger suddenly overflowed.
After Lauren asked the police to allow the two of them into the room, she rushed to sit across from the black-haired man, a man she had not seen for a long time.
"YOU! Why did you suddenly appear here?" She asked warily. This man is cunning. Whenever he appears, trouble will definitely follow. By now, she was already involved in a lot of trouble. So, she didn't want to add other problems anymore.
"Bryson!" The man chuckled at how panicked Lauren was now. "...It's only been a few months since we met, and you've already forgotten my name!?"
"Shut the fuck up, Bryson!! What the hell are you doing here?" Lauren tried to speak slowly, worried that their conversation would be overheard by the people in the control room. "...how did you know I was here?" She asked frantically.
"How did I know you were here doesn't matter. Most importantly, did you forget something!?" Bryson crossed his arms over his chest and casually laid her back against the seat. "I... can't wait too long, Lauren! And you know, I'm not a patient person!"
"You!!" Her face turned red, feeling mad at this man. "...listen to me, Bryson. I will take care of it after I leave this place. Don't come here again, this is very dangerous if someone sees us together. I will call you!"
"How do I know what you said wasn't an empty promise? Even now, you're a week behind schedule!" He snorted.
Lauren clenched her fists tightly in annoyance. But even though she was furious at this man, she did her best not to vent her anger in this place.
"Please trust me, Bryson! I'll send it to you... I promise!"
Bryson couldn't believe what he had just heard. He knew this woman was in trouble. How could the police detain her for almost two days!?
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ He has already tried to find out why the police detained her, but he has not been able to get the information.
"I don't believe you! I don't think you're leaving this place anytime soon, right!?" The corners of his lips lifted and revealed an evil teasing smile making Lauren glare at him.
"You have to trust me. I will be out soon. I need my lawyer to come over..." Lauren paused then something crossed her mind.
A sinister smile appears on her lips, and she feels thrilled. She said, "...Bryson, I have an assignment for you. If you can fulfill it, I will double your money. No, no, I will triple the money I will send you. Would you be interested?"
Bryson is in no rush to answer Lauren. He just sat there trying to read her rich expression. Upon noticing this woman had a deep wrath glint through her eyes.
"Tell me, what is it!?" He was curious, and at the same time, he was tempted by her offer.
Lauren asked Bryson to come closer to her, then she whispered. Hearing this woman's words suddenly made Bryson speechless. This woman is indeed evil.
But he didn't care how evil she was. As long as it was about money, he accepted her offer.
Bryson immediately left the room. Soon, the female police officer enters and escorts Lauren back to her detention room.
However, not long after she returned to her prison, the same policewoman came to her room again.
"Another visitor?" She asked before the police could say anything.
"Yes! Let's go..."
Lauren wonders who the next person will come to see her. She felt curious.
When she entered the interrogation room, she was surprised to see the company's attorney sitting in the room, staring at her.
She felt angry, seeing how calm he was; his expression showed no fear. There's also no sense of guilt for just showing up now since she had called him the moment the police brought her to this place.
This man was useless. After a day, he only appeared now.
Rage with anger, she said, "...You finally come, David!! How dare you make me wait?? You only show now, after I stay here almost 48 hours? I will make sure you get punished after I get out of here!!" She snapped.
David ignored Lauren, who was cursing at him. Then, he politely asks the police to leave them, as he needs to talk to his client alone. After seeing the police close the door, he sat back in his chair, staring back at the angry woman staring at him, and then said,
"...Mrs. Piers, please sit down. We need to talk!!" The lawyer politely said.
Lauren sat across from the lawyers and folded her arms.
"There is nothing to talk about! You must do whatever you can to get me out of here immediately! I need to get back to the hospital. Remember David... the company pays you well to do things like this. Now earn the pay!"
David didn't bother to listen to her words. Instead, he took out some paper from his bag and placed them in front of Lauren.
"Ms. Lauren Jones, please read and sign the paper!" His expression remains the same — he shows no anger at Lauren, who just insulted him.
Hearing David call her by her maiden name made Lauren raise her eyebrows in confusion. But then she put aside her confusion, she picked up the paper on the table.
Just reading a few lines of writing on the paper, her heart seemed to stop beating. She was so shocked. Slowly, she raised her head and looked at David.
"...Th-this... What is this?" Lauren's voice sounded shaky. Her shaking hands made the paper tremble.
"David, you're kidding, right?" She asked again after seeing David not saying a word. "How could a comatose person come up with such a ridiculous thing and sign this paper..." After saying these words, her body froze.
"OMG! Is my husband awake now? D-David... He's really awake?" Lauren's eyes widened in shock when she saw David nod.
She felt so happy. Finally, her husband Jonathan was recovering. She would soon be out of here, and all their troubles would be over quicker than she expected.
However, when she noticed the paper in her hands, her mind suddenly felt blank!
