Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife
Chapter 146: For the sake of dignity

"Lauren, hurry up, the boat will be leaving soon."

Watching the boat show signs of starting, Joshua rushed to urge Lauren.

"It'll be ready in a minute." Lauren, who was walking back and forth in the toilet, was also very anxious. Under Joshua's repeated urging, she had to get out of the toilet.

"Joshua, do you really plan to go back? After we get outside, the two of us don't have any financial resources, so life will fall into poverty."

Lauren grabbed Joshua's wrist, hoping she could get him to change his mind.

"Snap."

Joshua raised his hand and smacked Lauren hard in the face.

"Lauren, are you thinking about Matthew, all this time, and you're still thinking about that man?"

Joshua's eyes were glowing and his whole body radiated a fearful cruelty.

Covering the painful cheek, Lauren's phoenix eyes. Also filled with anger.

"Joshua, you kill me. I'm not going to go with you, so die with that."

"You're not coming with me?"

Joshua's emotions, which were already somewhat agitated, now turned even more agitated. The expression on his face slowly began to turn crazy and frighteningly crazy. "Joshua, you ...... what are you going to do?"

Looking at the shiny knife, is step by step approaching their own, Lauren's face, full of unease and fear.

"If you don't come with me again, I don't mind finishing you off here. The woman I can't get for Joshua, I won't let any other man get, especially not Matthew."

Joshua took the knife and approached Lauren's direction. The cold air coming from the knife sent fear throughout Lauren's body.

"Help, help."

Lauren turned around and ran to the back. joshua stepped closer. Seeing Joshua is about to catch up to Lauren, Lauren but at this time. Stepped on a stone. The whole person fell to the ground. By the time she tried to stand up, Joshua was already in front of him.

"Still want to run?"

Joshua crouched in front of Lauren, a sneer at the fear of Lauren, with a cold knife. In Lauren's face, back and forth gestures.

Lauren could clearly feel the chill coming from the knife.

"This face was once complete and whole. Now I'll scratch it so you can feel the pain of your skin once more."

Joshua's frantic eyes made Lauren even more uneasy.

"Matthew, help. If you don't show up again. I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost." Lauren closed her eyes, ready to endure the pain of the knife slashing at her face.

"Ah."

It was not Lauren who screamed, but Joshua with the knife.

Lauren hurriedly opened her eyes, and when she saw Matthew standing in front of her, her face, tears of excitement flowed, and there was a feeling of being reborn after death. She stood up. Rushing straight into Matthew's arms.

"I knew that you would replace me, that you would come to my rescue."

Lauren spoke excitedly.

Matthew really felt like rubbing her inside him. But he couldn't. He had to finish his plan.

He was restraining, restraining himself from getting as emotional as Lauren. Hands tightly clenched into fists, just not to hug Lauren.

"Matthew, aren't you glad I'm alive?"

Lauren, who hadn't received any warmth for a long time, raised her eyes from Matthew's arms, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Lauren, you disobeyed my orders again and actually planned to go meet with Nangong Lixin. Aren't you taking me, your master, too far out of your mind?"

The cold voice without any tenderness made Lauren's whole body stunned, she did not expect that the man she had been looking forward to, brought herself, is such a heartless. Such coldness.

"If you don't care about me, why are you here? Why do I see concern and fear for me in your eyes? Tell me. You tell me."

Lauren excitedly grabbed Matthew's sleeve and shook it vigorously.

"Because you are my pawn, an important person for me to replace the evidence of Nangong Lixin, do you think I can let you die?"

Matthew's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Lauren's body hard, and Lauren felt the strength that supported her whole body was instantly drained. The pain in her body was a million times more painful than the one Joshua hit.

The powerlessness made Lauren fall straight to the ground. She only felt a blackness in front of her eyes and instantly lost consciousness completely.

When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was lying on the big bed in her room, looking at the familiar environment, but Lauren had a feeling that she didn't want to wake up.

Lauren let out a muffled grunt as she struggled to sit up from the big bed and rubbed her somewhat sore forehead.

God, the head really hurts too much, no, I have to go see my dad, I haven't seen his old man in the last few days, he will be anxious.

Lauren, thinking about this, struggled to get out of bed. As soon as her feet hit the floor, she felt a dizzying sensation. She almost fell to the floor.

"Miss, why are you up? The body won't be able to take it."

Wang's mother rushed to Lauren's front and carefully helped her lie down on the bed.

The reason why she was kidnapped by Joshua was because she drank a bowl of soup laced with medicine, and the one who brought the soup to her was the false-hearted Wang's mother.

"Wang Ma. That is, if you are Ling Xue'er's person, why do you have to pretend to be in front of me? I, Lauren, am not a fool and won't fall for your trick anymore."

Ling Xue'er's words made Wang Ma's face weak. Although the young master had allowed himself to return to the mansion, but in her heart, she had always had a feeling of unease. It was as if the young master was going to replace out something through himself.

"Miss. I don't understand what you mean. I only know that now I will serve you. Until you give birth to the young master's child."

"Children?"

Wang Ma's words made Ling Xue'er's face, instantly turn pale. The hand covered her stomach.

"Wang Ma, do you mean to say that I have a baby in my belly?"

Wang Ma nodded.

"Yes, the doctor has just checked. The baby inside your belly is one month old." Lauren couldn't believe her ears.

She stood up and pushed Wang Ma away despite her stopping her. Walked out of the room on her own. "Matthew, where are you?"

Lauren, running down the hall, shouted Matthew's name. She had to hear Matthew tell himself the news herself.

After half a day of shouting, only to see Matthew with a smile on his face, hugging Ling Xueer, walked out of the room.

"Why are you two together?"

Lauren looked at the intimate Matthew and Cheryl Ling with a painful face. From the hickey on Cheryl Ling's neck, Lauren could be sure that they had just had a wild romp. "Lauren, what are you yelling for in the middle of the night? Do you know that it will disturb my time with Matthew?"

Ling Xue'er deliberately shows her sweetness.

Lauren took a deep breath. Slowly, he came to Matthew's face.

"Matthew. let me ask you, am I carrying your child inside my belly?"

"Yes, you are having a baby, but whether this baby is Matthew's or not, who knows now, I have so many men, it might be that Nangong Lixin's."

Matthew did not say anything, but on the contrary, Ling Xueer, who was beside him, looked at Lauren with disdain.

"Ling Xue'er, get lost, it's not you I'm asking."

The icy aura emanating from Lauren's surroundings made Ling Xue'er a bit stunned and somewhat uneasy as she hid behind Matthew's back. "Matthew, tell me, am I having a baby?"

Matthew put his arm around Ling Xue'er and sat down on the sofa to the side.

"That's right, you are having a baby. But this baby, as Cher said, is not mine still needs to be checked, tomorrow I will personally take you to the hospital for a checkup, if if it proves that this baby is mine, I will let you have this baby, once it is not my Matthew's seed, I promise to show you, what betrayal feels like."

The raging suspicion in Matthew's eyes seemed to swallow everything up.

Emotionally broken Lauren, like a madman, rushed to Matthew's front, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it at him, she wanted to smash the disdain for herself off his face.

Matthew quickly dodged away, but the Ling Xueer beside him was not so lucky. By the time she found the cup, the cup had already smashed on her body, and all the tea inside was poured on her body.

"Ah."

Ling Xue'er screamed in terror, her face pale as she cursed at Lauren.

"Matthew, you saw it all, that's how she bullied you, her fiancée."

Ling Xue'er flung herself into Matthew's arms with a resigned look on her face.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Matthew's face. Raised a sneer.

"Wang Ma, take her back to her room, no one is allowed to approach her room without my order, plus no one is allowed to let her out of the room."

Wang's mother hurriedly pulled Lauren, and headed for the room upstairs.

"Wang Ma, let go."

Lauren shook off Wang's mother's hand and ran to Matthew with an angry face.

"Matthew, are you going to hold me captive again like you did before?"

The pain on Lauren's face made Matthew's heart flash with a touch of pain, but when he thought of the information he had gotten, he couldn't bring himself to be soft, if he let this woman go so easily, then his mother in heaven would not be at peace.

Matthew's thin lips curled into a smile.

"Lauren, you are going to pay for what your mother has done. Remember, if you don't do what I ask, you will soon get the news that your dad has left this world."

"Matthew, how can you be so heartless? Does the three years of waiting and waiting have no meaning for you? Three years of bitter love, can not exchange a little sympathy for you? Three years of dedication. Can't counteract what my mother once did?"

Lauren lost control of herself and yelled at Matthew, the pain inside her could not be described in words.

Matthew slowly walked up to Lauren and hooked her chin with his long index finger.

"For what I do not care, I Matthew have no interest, from now on, you must depend on my orders to do things, or wait for the consequences that you can not bear." Lauren clenched her lower lip in order to keep herself from rushing to Matthew's face.

"Matthew, you've done it again. Once again you have struck a blow to my fragile heart, before it was for my mother and I obeyed any request you made. Now you threaten me with my father, and once again I am a plaything in your hands. Okay, I will do what you want, but I tell you, when the day the baby is born, it will be the day of my Lauren's death, and even if I die, I will make you live in guilt for the rest of your life and never know what it means to smile."

The desperation and disinterest in life under Lauren's eyes made Matthew very angry and froze the smile on his face.

"Let go, Matthew, on the count of three, if you don't let go, right here, right now, is the time of my death."

Looking at Matthew's large hand on his wrist, Lauren gave a cold laugh.

"One."

"Two."

The hatred under Lauren's eyes struck Matthew's heart, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was true that he was doing this.

"Three."

No sooner had Lauren's words left her lips than Matthew snapped her jaw.

"How dare you bite your tongue?" Matthew's handsome face was now filled with fierceness because of his anger. A chilling aura that no one dared to ignore emanated from his entire body. "Don't you dare bite your tongue again. I'll call right away, cancel the treatment for your father, and once again throw your father into the refugee zone and let him live that life as a pig and a dog."

"Matthew, you are despicable, threatening me again and again, but this time, I will not be threatened by you, if you don't let go again, I will die directly in front of you, you should know that if a person is determined to die, any method can succeed."

Matthew had no choice but to release his grip on Lauren's hand, fearing that she would do something to hurt herself in her anger.

"Wang Ma, take Miss back to her room and remember what I just told you."

Wang's mother nodded and hurriedly helped Lauren towards the room upstairs.

Looking at Lauren's back as she fell mo, Matthew had an uneasy feeling.

"Matthew, let's go try on the dress, with Wang's mother watching her, nothing will happen, and it's our engagement ceremony in three days, there's no room for sloppiness."

Ling Xue'er pulled Matthew's arm and pouted.

Looking at the woman beside him, Matthew's eyes, a flash of ridicule and contempt.

"Xue'er, just now in the study, I've been asking you if you recognize Nangong Lixin, but until now, you haven't talked to me clearly, is it that you don't put me as your fiancé in your eyes?" Matthew sat on one side of the sofa, narrowed his black pupils, and stared at Ling Xue'er with unblinking eyes.

"I......" Ling Xue'er did not dare to touch Matthew's lofty pupils.

"Well, let's go try on a dress, no matter what you think you know Nangong Lixin, it's just a woman for me alone. I won't care."

Matthew took Ling Xue'er's hand and walked towards the door, no one could guess, under his profound expression, what was he thinking?
