Chapter 72: Male and Female Confrontation
The threat in Matthew's words made Lauren feel fearful, especially with Cindy and Tom's two pairs of innocent eyes, which made her even more worried.
"Miss Li, what are you going to do? Do you really plan to leave?"
"Tom, do you think I should leave?"
Lauren didn't answer Tom's words positively, instead, she threw the question to him, whether he was really pleading for her or not, he was also the person beside Matthew. "I don't know."
Tom shook his head.
"When I see the way you are hurt, I will feel sympathy and pity, but you heard what Mr. just said, once you leave, Cindy and I will be punished by him. Miss Li, the two of us are innocent, please think of me and Cindy in everything you do, I don't want Cindy and me to be hurt in any way."
The corners of Lauren's mouth, lifted into a light smile.
"Tom, I always thought you cared about me for my situation, but now I realize that you and Matthew are on the same side. Now I realize that you and Matthew are on the same side. On the surface you care about me, but in fact you are a spy that Matthew has placed around me. If you hadn't sent someone behind me, I believe Matthew and I would still be living happily together."
Lauren's words made Tom's face a little less natural.
"But don't worry, once I decide to really leave, I will consider you and Cindy's situation, I will not let anyone get hurt in any way because of me. You guys go out now, I want to take a break."
Tom wanted to say something else, but when he saw Lauren close her eyes, he swallowed his words and pulled Cindy out of the room.
Soon it was time for dinner. Originally it should have been Cindy who brought dinner, but today it was someone Lauren didn't know who brought dinner.
"Miss Li, it's time for dinner." The woman's face was not filled with fear and dread as the others were when she saw Lauren being put in the cage.
Nestled in the cage, unable to move freely, Lauren simply did not have the desire to eat dinner, but when hearing this voice, Lauren instinctively raised her head, and when she saw the woman carrying dinner in front of her face, a smile appeared.
Putting her hand through the gap in the cage, she took the bowl in the woman's hand.
"Miss Li, your favorite food is specially prepared inside, you must finish it." At the corner of the woman's mouth, there was an intriguing smile, then she turned to leave.
Lauren unhurriedly put down the bowl in her hand, glanced at the silver ring on her ankle, and suddenly ripped off a piece of clothing on her body and covered her ankle.
Then she quickly picked up the bowl and began to eat the contents in one big gulp, and when she was halfway through, what she had imagined, finally appeared. She was afraid that Matthew would find out through the video that she had covered the silver ring and then let the maid in. Lauren hurriedly opened the little note in the bowl and when she saw what was on it, a happy smile lifted her face. She hurriedly swallowed the note into her stomach as fast as she could. Just as this was done, Cindy and Tom had already panicked and ran into the room.
"Miss Li, how can you put your clothes over the silver ring?"
The two hurriedly opened the cage and ripped off the pieces of clothing on Lauren's enlarged ankles.
"Matthew, do you think you're smart? Just put the rags on the silver ring, you will not see any picture of me at all, even if you know my direction, you can't do anything with me."
Lauren said with a big smile on her face to the silver ring, she knew that Matthew on the other side of the computer, can clearly hear her words, she can also imagine that when hearing what she said, his face must have turned more and more ugly.
"Keep an eye on her, and if this happens again, I'll make sure I break both of your arms in front of her."
Matthew's demonic voice came from the roof, and Cindy and Tom's faces turned pale with fear. They were afraid that Lauren would do something like this again. Cindy hurriedly took her luggage and slept outside the cage.
"Cindy, do you really think you can keep an eye on me? Don't you forget that Matthew is abroad now, and if I let my friends come here and take me away, there's nothing you can do to stop it." Lauren calmly said to Cindy, who was lying outside and not sleeping at all.
Hearing her words, Cindy instantly got up from the ground and knelt directly in front of Lauren.
"Miss Li, please don't. If you leave, Tom and I will definitely be punished by Mr., and then we will only die. Miss Li, you are so kind, surely you won't let such a thing happen, right?" Lauren's face, raised a smile.
"Cindy, you know, Matthew is taking advantage of the sympathy in my heart and holding me back. But once I'm really gone, Matthew won't do anything to you guys. His coldness, his cruelty, will only be used on me."
Lauren's calm and somewhat cold words made Cindy a little uneasy. She kept her eyes on Lauren all night without taking her eyes off of her, afraid that if she closed her eyes, Lauren would disappear into thin air.
Cindy did not sleep all night, but Lauren slept soundly. Although her body could only be curled up, not lying flat, but once she thought of the contents of the note, Lauren miraculously fell asleep.
The next morning, Lauren took the opportunity to go to the toilet and walked out of the cage. In order to have a good activity of some stiff body, Lauren deliberately extended the time of going to the toilet. Until the physical exhaustion is somewhat relieved, Lauren only came out of the bathroom. When he saw Cindy outside with a nervous face, who was about to rush into the bathroom, Lauren could no longer control the loud laugh.
"Cindy, you don't have to be so nervous. The silver ring is on my ankle, Matthew can know any of my movements, so why are you so scared?"
Lauren pointed to her ankle, the shining silver ring, said with a funny face.
Cindy also felt embarrassed, but she had no choice, in order for her not to be punished by Matthew, she could only watch Lauren's side every inch of the way until Matthew returned.
Three days on time, Matthew appeared in the room on time, and when he saw Lauren still nestled in the cage, his somewhat tired face, showing a smile. The three-day trip overseas had left him in a very haggard state of mind. He lay down with his clothes directly on the bed.
"Matthew, are you in such a hurry, are you afraid that I will leave?"
Lauren looked at Matthew, who was lying on the bed but did not close his eyes, with a bemused look.
"I won't let you leave." I don't know if he was saying it to Lauren or to himself. In any case, this sentence, Matthew said very sure, said very dry.
"Matthew, I'm just going to leave on your watch so you don't take the punishment and use it on someone else."
"You ......"
Lauren's words caused Matthew to jump off the bed at once and rush directly to Lauren's face.
His large hand poked through the gap in the cage and hooked Lauren's chin in preparation.
The pain on her jaw made Lauren's eyebrows furrow together, but this time, she didn't let out a painful scream.
"I won't let you go."
Those words again, but they couldn't make any difference to Lauren.
"I will leave. And leave in just a few days, Matthew, if you can, you'll be by my side twenty-four hours a day, or you'll close your eyes and I'll disappear from this room, and then you'll lose track of me completely."
Instead of getting angry, Matthew loosened his grip and the corners of his mouth lifted into a devilish smile.
"No, even if you leave from this room, I can still find your location quickly through the silver ring, and then I will bring you back, and when I bring you back, I will let you know what happens when you run away."
"Is that so?"
The corners of Lauren's mouth, lifted into an intriguing smile.
"All I can say is that some things cannot be said too absolutely. Do you think that the silver ring will allow you to get me? All I can say is that you are very wrong, and I will show you in the next few days what happens when you are too confident."
Matthew grunted coldly, physically exhausted, making him not want to waste his time arguing with Lauren about things, but Matthew didn't know that it was this confidence that had cost him Lauren and any news of his relationship with her.
