Gary tried to calm her down from the side. "Ms. Peck, you'd better not do anything reckless! The Rhodes family
might not be a big deal, but Andrew is someone we really can't afford to mess with right now!"
However, Liliana was losing it. She screamed like a madwoman, "I don't care anymore! Joe didn't lose! The man
I've loved all my life would never lose! It's all because of that bitch Lauren!"
She shrieked, "It has to be her! That's why Joe chose to back out! | hate that bitch. | swear, I'm going to kill her!"
Gary looked completely panicked and still tried to stop her, but Liliana snapped at him, "Gary, stay out of this! If
you're too scared to get involved, then move aside! | don't believe for a second that | can't take down one bitch!"
Gary groaned. "But Ms. Peck, even if you do get rid of Lauren... Mr. Driscoll still won't be happy about it!"
Liliana's eyes turned ice-cold. "I know he won't be happy. But so what? | want him to see that | am the woman he
should've chosen all along!"
At 6:30 p.m., Lauren finally got off work from Rhodes Corporation. The company had shifted nearly all of its
operations to Blumedale, and her workload had been piling up by the day.
She was supposed to work late into the night, as usual. But today, she could not help it. She missed Francesca
and Aspen and, most of all, her beloved Andrew.
So, for once, she clocked out right on time.
She had just stepped into the underground parking lot. She had not even started her car yet when two unmarked
vehicles suddenly boxed her in-one in front, one behind.
Lauren did not flinch. She narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Who are you people? What do you want?"
Several masked men stepped out of the cars, grinning. "Ms. Rhodes, someone wants a word with you. Cwith
us."

Lauren let out a chilly laugh. "And what if | refuse? Are you planning to roughup?"
One of them sneered. "Better not push your luck, lady. We've got our orders. The person who hired us said it
doesn't matter if you cback dead or alive."
She did not wait and hurled her handbag straight at the man in front, hitting him square in the face. Then, she
bolted sideways at full speed. Even though she was in heels, she actually ran surprisingly fast!
However, these guys were pros. She had not gotten far when more of them
popped out from the shadows and blocked her path.
Breathing hard, Lauren raised her hands in surrender. She said coldly, "Fine, I'll
go with you, but letwarn you-my husband's nis Andrew Lloyd.
"I'm sure you've heard of him. He's the one who won first place at the Grand Medical Summit, and he's tight with
Governor McCormick. On top of that, he's the chairman of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce.
"If you so much as touch a hair on my head, he'll cafter you, and he will hunt every one of you down."
One of the masked men growled, annoyed. "Damn it, she even tried to run. | don't care who her husband is! Let
However, someone yanked him
back. "Don't be stupid! The girl's not bluffing. Everything she said about
drew is true. That guy's no joke.

We were told just to bring her in, so don't touch her."

Even with the mask covering his face, the color drained from the man's expression.
