The Lambert family left.
The Scott family instantly stopped pretending.
Wilbert said in a cold voice, “Laurel was so annoying today!”
Bruno didn’t say anything, but he couldn’t deny that Laurel’s behavior today irritated him!
“You said you had control over Laurel. Why did she suddenly change?” Elise asked her son. “She
made a fool out of us today!”
“I don’t know what happened.” Bruno was also puzzled. “I’m almost with Laurel every day, and we’ll talk
on the phone. when we’re not together. I didn’t notice any sudden changes, but her behavior today was
indeed strange.”
“I don’t think it’s Laurel’s fault.” Wilbert said, “Irvin must be responsible for it.”
“Dad, do you mean that Irvin asked Laurel to say those things?”
“We have known Laurel since her childhood, and you’ve been with her. A person’s change doesn’t
happen so quickly.”” Wilbert concluded, “Irvin must have told Laurel to do so because he was afraid we
wouldn’t repay the loan. Irvin is not as innocent as he looks. In the business world, few people aren’t

“I didn’t notice it. I always thought he was a good person.”

Bruno said angrily, “But Dad, it’s okay. The market value of the Lambert Group is over 8 billion dollars.
If I marry Laurel, it will all be ours, not to mention the 320 million dollars!”
Wilbert smirked, “I’m counting on you!”
“Rest assured. I have absolute confidence in dealing with Laurel!” Bruno said confidently, his eyes
revealing a cun ning and treacherous demeanor.
They were both so despicable!
After leaving the Scott’s place, the Lambert family got into. the car.
Irvin said excitedly, “Laurel, I was so impressed today. You didn’t even think about how to reject the
Scott family’s request, but you made them willingly write the loan. agreement. In this way, we don’t
have to worry about losing the 320 million dollars.”
Laurel smiled faintly.
She wasn’t thinking about the 320 million dollars, but the 6.67% shares of the Scott Group.
In the previous life, the Scott family had been planning to take over the Lambert family’s assets. In this
life, Laurel wanted the Scott family to lose everything!
“Wilbert is cheeky. He wants to run e-commerce projects, but he had the nerve to ask us for money. He
took us for fools! Laurel, I didn’t realize it before, but thanks to your reminder, I know that the Scott
family is selfish and cunning.” Irvin got a

“So, we shouldn’t take them lightly or be soft-hearted towards them.”
“Are you planning to call off the engagement?” Irvin was curious.
“Dad, you will know when the time comes.” Laurel pretended to be mysterious.
It was not necessary that Laurel had to hide it from them.
But Laurel was afraid that if she told them about cooperating with Hayden or even the possibility of
marrying Hayden, it would infuriate her parents.
In the eyes of all parents, Hayden would never be the ideal son-in-law!
It would be difficult to convince Laurel’s parents that Hayden was a good man.
So for now, Hayden didn’t want to upset her parents.
“Alright. I’ll be looking forward to it.” Irvin’s agreement showed great trust in Laurel.
Laurel nodded with a smile.
The car arrived at the Lambert’s house.
The moment Laurel got off the car, she finally said, “Dad, I have something to do. You and Mom can go
back first.””
“It’s so late. Where are you going?”

“I’m going… to find Shelley.”
“What happened to Shelley?”
“She got drunk.” Laurel lied.
Anyway…
Friends could always be sacrificed!

“Okay then, take care of yourself. Shelley should not always go to nightclubs. You should advise her.
She will be the one suffering if something happens.”
“I will talk to her.”
“Go and come back soon.”
“Okay.” Laurel obediently agreed.
Irvin and Blanca felt uneasy and reminded Laurel again before going back.
Laurel asked the driver to take her directly away from the villa.
In the car, Laurel made a phone call.
She heard a carefree voice on the other end of the line. “Ms. Lambert?”
“I need to talk to you. Where are you?”
“Ms. Lambert, didn’t you visit the Scott family today? You suddenly remember me. Am I supposed to
feel honored?”
“Are you jealous?” Laurel said straightforwardly.
The media exposed her visit to the Scott family earlier today.

Laurel saw it on her phone while at the Scott’s place.
But Laurel didn’t care.
It didn’t matter to her.
But apparently, it gave people the wrong impression.
Hayden chuckled coldly. Then he turned to someone beside him and said, “Come on, babe. Say
something to Ms. Lambert.”
“Honey, you’re so annoying!” A coquettish voice rang out.
Laurel’s face slightly changed.
She bit her lip. “Hayden, aren’t you afraid of getting sick?”
“Ms. Lambert, are you cursing me?”
“Where are you?” Laurel suppressed her annoyance.
“Ms. Lambert, are you in such a hurry?”
“Hayden!”
“Room 333, Acme Club.” Hayden hung up after saying that.
Laurel tried her best to suppress her anger.
She could now maintain a calm attitude towards Bruno, whom she hated and wanted to kill the most.
However, at this moment, Hayden’s few words made her feel breathless!
Laurel took a deep breath and told the driver the destination.
Then, throughout the car ride, Laurel kept adjusting her emotions.

The sedan quickly arrived at the largest nightclub in Rosegrad City, Acme Club. From afar, one could
see the splendid neon lights at the entrance, giving a dazzling feeling that they were illuminating half of
the sky.
A nightclub attendant quickly approached to open the car door for Laurel.
Laurel got out of the car, still feeling somewhat timid.
She even had the impulse to ask Shelley to come and help her.
Laurel gritted her teeth.
Laurel still followed the service staff at the entrance and walked into the nightclub.
This was the first time that Laurel had come to such a place.
Shelley used to invite Laurel to go out together, but Laurel always refused. After a while, Shelley
stopped asking. Occasionally, Shelley would complain and seriously tell Laurel that men would get tired
of a girl like Laurel who remained the same.
Laurel never took Shelley’s words to heart before.
Now, it seemed ironic.
Laurel fulfilled her duties as Bruno’s wife and kept herself chaste for him. Yet, Bruno said she was like a
corpse, cold and unyielding…
Laurel’s steps faltered as she looked up at the grand door before her.
The service attendant pressed the doorbell.

Laurel had never been to nightclubs before and didn’t know that the private rooms in nightclubs had
burglar-proof doors.
Of course, they were much more luxurious than ordinary. burglar-proof doors.
Laurel watched as the door slowly opened.
At that moment, she even wondered if she would see something… indescribable!
