Get Rid Of The Bastard There was an unspoken threat in Tessa's words.

Meanwhile, a glint of malice flashed in Lauren's eyes.

It was then that she realized Tessa was of no use to her.

At this time, Jocelyn jumped in and cut Tessa off.

"Miss Lloyd, that’s not true.

Did she explicitly ask you to work against Raegan? No, she simply shared her suspicions about Raegan being pregnant because she deemed you as a close friend.

She never asked you to hurt anyone, especially not a child yet to be born." Hearing this, Tessa was stunned.

It seemed that Lauren had never said those words clearly.

However, it got her thinking.

Hadn't Lauren's constant grumbling and insinuations set the stage for her animosity toward Raegan? "Don't say that, Jocelyn," Lauren chimed in.

"I've always considered Tessa as family, and I feel it's my duty to help her when she's going through a rough patch." After saying these words, Lauren winked at Jocelyn, who went inside for a moment.

And when Jocelyn returned, she had several bundles of cash.

Lauren grasped Tessa's hand and said, "It’s not that I don't want to help you.

Mitchel has made it clear that anyone who helps you is going against the Dixon Group.

But I feel terrible seeing you like this.

Here's 60 thousand dollars.

It should help you get by for now.

Truth is, I've invested most of my money in portfolios over the years.

But I'll find a way to send you more, I promise." Tessa's face drained of color when she heard the amount.

Sixty thousand dollars would not even cover expenses for her and her mom in their home country, much less fees for going abroad.

"I also heard from a friend who works at the nursing house that Raegan's grandmother had been in poor condition for quite some time,” Lauren continued.

"But I never thought Raegan would go so far as to blame you for her grandmother's death and even push Mitchel to come after you.” As she said this, Lauren made a show of wiping away the tears had gathered at the corner of her eye.

"Tessa, I really want to help you.

But now, Mitchel is so obsessed with Raegan that he’s not listening to anyone else.

I have to say, we've underestimated her." Tessa's eyes welled up with tears.

And when she spoke, her voice was thick with loathing.
