In the end, Vera decided to bring Lauren back to the hotel.
At first, Vera wanted Lauren to recover in the hospital while she came back to figure something out. But Lauren was unwilling, saying she was afraid that her husband would suddenly come for her if she stayed there alone. By then, she surely would be dead meat.
Lauren was in tears while she told Vera this. Vera helplessly asked her what they should do next.
Lauren wiped her tears away and asked, "Where are you staying? Can I stay with you for a couple of days? Don't worry. I'll buy a flight ticket home in two days. I won't get you into trouble."
Since she had said so, Vera still agreed even though it was a Catch-22.
Just like that, one more person joined their honeymoon trip. Vera was a little disappointed, but she let it go soon enough.
Lauren was taking a shower in the hotel bathroom.
As she looked at her misty reflection in the mirror, then at the spacious bathroom and the clothes that Vera lent her, her lips curled into a faint
smile.
Vera sure was a little girl. The clothes she wore were also so childish. She didn't know how Vera managed to get a man like Quill. Was that kind of little girl worth liking?
After finding out they were not husband and wife, Lauren had come up with other ideas.
Initially, she really didn't have other intentions. But Quill was simply too outstanding. Whether it was his appearance, words, or actions, something about him drew people in.
Lauren happened to look up and watched as Quill dislocated Austin's arm. She compared him to Quill.
Her husband was like a clown, while Quill... was as handsome and outstanding as a god.
Then she thought about Vera. Not only was she childish, but she was flat as well. Even her looks were incomparable to Lauren's.
However, such a woman was able to find such an excellent man.
What about Lauren?
Her appearance was better than Vera's. Why should she be beaten and scolded by such a loser? So, Lauren had an idea, and soon she arrived at a decision.
She wanted this man!
This was a good opportunity. First, she would use Vera to get close to him. Show him her good side and let him know she was better than Vera. Maybe...
With that thought, Lauren's smile grew cold.
My dear Vera, don't blame me for using you. You can only blame yourself for being a fool.
At that moment, Lauren felt that everything would go according to plan; she was not worried at all. With her superb skills, men would usually fall for her soon enough.
Only her b*stard husband was useless and liked to use her as a punching bag.
She must get rid of him!
Quill was her target!
Vera, who was chatting with Minerva in the hotel room, had no idea that her boyfriend had become a target. She was angrily telling Minerva what happened earlier that day.
"I've never seen such a cruel man. He pushed his wife to the ground and beat her. Isn't he her husband? He hit her as if he was hitting a bad person. How could there be such a man in this world?”
The two of them were on a video call. Minerva looked helplessly at Vera, who was so angry that her face had turned red. She comforted Vera softly, "Alright, don't be angry. No matter what, it's someone else's business. It's their own choice. If she wanted to solve it herself, you wouldn't even need to butt in."
