George looked dejected after hanging up the phone.

Judging from the phone calls and his expressions, Lauren understood the Quinn family’s company was in trouble, just like last time.

“George, what’s going on?” Lauren walked to him and held the handle of the carved sandalwood chair with a trembling hand.

Hearing that, George glared at Lauren and slammed his fist on the wooden table beside him.

“Did you do something again?” he growled.

“They’re saying we have offended someone powerful.All the partnering companies have called me to terminate the collaboration with us.”

Lauren didn’t dare to tell the truth.

George’s attitude toward her had changed greatly ever since he found out that she had hired a criminal to rape Natalie. He had become cold and distant.

Lauren couldn’t tell him that she had hired people to harm Natalie again.

“Why are you always blaming me when something bad happens? I’ve been staying at home all day long.I would never do anything reckless under your watch.Maybe you’ve offended someone during one of your business deals,” Lauren explained in an aggrieved voice.

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the chair to hold back her fear and guilt.George believed Lauren’s words.

He had been watching her closely so he believed she didn’t do anything reckless again.

However, little did he know that Lauren was more cunning and vindictive than he had imagined.

She had ways to execute her plans right under his watch without garnering his suspicion.

“All right.I’ll apologize to the partners and find a way to deal with the issue.” George was burning with rage.He picked up his coat on the chair and stood up to leave.

“Stay at home.Don’t make any trouble again.” Lauren picked up her bag and followed him.

“George, I’ll come with you.How can I let you endure all the hardships yourself? We are a couple, and we’ll face it together,” she said, holding his arm.
