Chapter 541 No Way
Lauren blinked, her expression one of bewildered distress, but she couldn't tolerate Frank's scolding.
She scoffed, "What right do you have to judge me? Who gave you the authority to scheme against me? You should have told me your plans earlier, not hurt me behind my back like this."
Frank didn't want to waste more words. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he asked, "Were you hospitalized last night?"
"Yes, he found out."
Frank's expression darkened, becoming increasingly grim. He wondered the purpose of Benjamin orchestrating this drama.
It dawned on him ultimately.
Benjamin was forcing Larry to reveal himself.
Frank's face grew uglier by the second, and then he pointed at Lauren. "You will pay for your decisions today. Do you think Benjamin, having caught me, will let you go? You are mistaken. If he knows you planned to drug him, he must have figured out our connection. Do you think he'll keep you by his side? Lauren, this is a classic case of losing what you try to steal. We're both in the same boat; if I'm going down, you can't escape either. We're cut from the same cloth, aren't we?"
He smirked coldly, his face a picture of brooding ugliness.
After this tirade, Frank immediately turned and left the hospital room. He needed to get out before Benjamin arrived, or the police were alerted.
Lauren ruined all his careful plans... If it weren't for his concern for her, he would have made sure she disappeared from this world.
Enraged, Frank hurried to the parking lot, where he gradually relaxed, grateful that Benjamin had been slow to act.
A slight smile played on his lips as he walked briskly toward his car.
