Chapter 550 Jerry shook his head


    Based on the leads provided by Mr.


    Rhodes, we conducted surprise inspections of all the hotels, but we didnt find her.


    Ive already reported the situation to Mr.


    Warren at the Jayrodale Police Department.


    If even he cant find her, then itll be a real problem.


    Michael frowned, visibly unsettled.


    Thats strange


    Troy was just captured theres no way Ruby couldve sensed it and escaped so quickly.


    Tiana snapped, Shut up.


    Do you think everyones as ipetent as you ? Keep searching for that wretch ! After the loss shes caused the Rhodes family, I wont rest until shes torn to pieces! Meanwhile, Lauren lingered at the Moonlit Sanctuary untilte at night before reluctantly returning home, The moment she stepped inside and turned on the lights, Tiana was already there, like a ghost waiting in the darkness.


    Laurent surprised


    She said calmly, Please leave.


    I need to rest.


    Without a word, Tiana strode forward, pulled up Laurens sleeve, and inspected her arm before exhaling in relief


    Lauren sneered.


    Rx.


    The mark is still there.


    Im still a virgin.


    Tiana instinctively wanted tosh out but, for some reason, her expression softened


    Taking Laurens hand gently, she asked in a quiet voice, Lauren, do you hate me as your mother?


    Lauren shook her head.


    Hate is too strong a word.


    Theres just no bond between us.


    You gave birth to me but didnt raise me


    When I finally grew up, you found me, only to talk endlessly about how amazing the Driscoll family is, how wealthy and powerful they are, and how deeply rooted their legacy is.


    All you wanted was for me to marry Joe for the familys sake.


    Ive never heard of a mother like you someone who didnt care for their child growing up but swoops in


    For a brief moment, a flicker of pain appeared in Tianas eyes, but she quickly concealed it.


    Without saying another word, she turned and walked out of the room.


    Lauren stood frozen, herposure finally breaking as she began to sob softly, Unbeknownst to Lauren


    , Tiana had stopped just outside the door.


    Leaning against it, she listened to her daughters quiet cries and murmured softly, My child, no one in this world loves you more than I do


    It breaks my heart to see you unhappy


    But there are things you dont understand yet.


    One day, youll know that everything Im doing is for your own good.


    Ms.


    Stevens, theres nowhere left for me in Jayrodale.


    Please arrange for me to leave the city immediately! At a secluded location, Ruby appeared in a state of panic, urgently pleading with Aspen.


    The Rhodes family had issued a powerful warrant against her within the aristocraticwork, effectively turning her into a fugitive with no choice but to run


    Chapter 550 Aspen gritted her teeth


    How did this n go so wrong? Where exactly did things fall apart? How did the Rhodes family find out you stole the forms ? Ruby cursed angrily.


    Its all because of that idiot Troy.


    He confessed everything to the Rhodes family! Aspens tone turned icy.


    Thats impossible


    Troy wouldnt be that foolish


    Besides, considering his infatuation and desire for you, he wouldnt betray you to the Rhodes family.


    Doing so wouldnt win him your favor it would only bring him their wrath.


    From what youve said, Troy was utterly obsessed with you.


    Men like that driven by lust are easily controlled


    Once youve got a hold of them, they be nothing more than obedient dogs


    Her words dripped with disdain and contempt for men, revealing her deep rooted hatred and scorn for them.
