Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 41

Lauren POV

"No...That's not true..." Janice panicked and yelled, "Lauren! How could you do that?! You're a doctor! Why did you forge that to set me up?"

Janice was such a good liar and she made that up in a few seconds. Now she used that against me but thank God I had prepared myself for this earlier. I looked at her as she was shaking out of anger in front of me and then I said, "I set you up?" "Hold on for a sec," I said coldly and showed them what I prepared for today, "don't say anything until you listen to that tape."

It was the recording of what happened in the parking lot.

"Did you take an abortifacient?"

"You're smarter than I thought you are...your mother's company, your arranged marriage, and your father's love for you...These will all be mine!"

Michael might love Janice for real but this arrogant man loved his child more. He had always wanted a healthy baby. Janice used their child as a way of forcing him to marry her but it was the weak spot of their so-called true love.

Janice stumbled a little and held onto the desk so that she wouldn't fall. But Michael just glared at her frigidly and even Manuel stared at her, looking completely shocked. Everyone thought that the death of that baby was caused by that fall and Manuel was so guilty that he gave the Moonlight Jewelry to Janice.

But it turned out that this child was expendable when it came to Janice's interests.

"This is all made up!" Janice cried out of control, "Lauren, do you really hate me so much?! This is fake! It's forged! Why are you doing this to me?!"

I didn't know if she was faking it or not, right now she was shaking uncontrollably and she walked up to me weakly, clenching her chest as if she was gonna fall in any second, "Enough! I've had enough! I'll give you whatever you want! Lauren...I'll give you my everything...I'm willing to leave the tribe...I don't want anything anymore..."

At this time, Janice was still acting.

"That's my baby... His death hurts me the most...Lauren, why are you using him to attack me? My poor baby... He's gone for good..." Janice sobbed so hard that she fell to the ground.

Michael couldn't pull a long face anymore and came up to help her stand up. But he still looked quite grim.

However, after seeing all those pictures and listening to that recording, everyone had known who the homewrecker actually was and Janice and her mother Lola were accused of being mistresses again. Lola had always been able to contain herself and act to be sweet and nice in front of people but now even she couldn't keep her cool.

A lady under the stage who was invited to be here suddenly knew what was going on and said, "That explains a lot. Lauren and the alpha of the Lunarko Tribe have always got along pretty well and Michael had always taken Lauren as his date to every ball. How come he suddenly got engaged with Janice?"

"She's the one who stole Lauren's fiancé and now she wants her blessing? This is ridiculous."

"And Michael is also a jackass."

Manuel looked gloomy and other than them, all the people here felt bad for me and became more curious about what happened. But I didn't need their sympathy and charity and I didn't want them to see the vulnerable side of me.

As they were gossiping, I still looked the same. I tried hard to suppress my feelings and said calmly, "I'm grateful...that my father, alpha Manuel, has raised me all these years."

"I don't care that you always play favorites," I said emotionlessly, "but I can't sit and watch you give Moonlight Jewelry away. Maybe mother had gone for too long and the tribe is starting to forget their Luna and even you had forgotten about her. Don't you remember that she's the founder of Moonlight Jewelry? You're protective of Janice and your mistress but please promise me this, run Moonlight Jewelry with care, or just shut it down. My mother used to be your mate and that's the least you can do. Please don't bring disgrace to my mother like this."

"Wait, isn't Moonlight Jewelry a wedding gift for Janice?"

"He gave his ex-wife's company to his mistress' daughter as a wedding gift?"

People started targeting them again.

I didn't want this empty shell but I didn't want Lola and Janice to have it. After what I said, no matter how Lola begged Manuel, he could never give Moonlight Jewelry to them.

I interrupted them and spoke up again, "Michael and I haven't found our mates yet and the marriage contract has been valid ever since the day I became an adult. But if you had told me that you didn't want to marry me in the first place, I wouldn't give you a hard time. But you just kept lying to me and ruined everything for yourself."

"From now on, Michael and I are broken up."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, I walked away in my high heels and never looked back. I pretended I never saw the violent look on Michael's face.

Janice, who had been acting like she was about to faint in Michael's arms, suddenly had the strength and yelled at me, "Lauren, do you really wanna destroy the Blanco family? Are you happy that you finally got your revenge tonight?" Revenge?

I stopped walking. I wasn't the old me who didn't take all of this seriously and let Janice do whatever she wanted. I glance at everyone who looked upset and finally stared at Manuel, "Who's the one that force me to have this ceremony?" They didn't know what to say.

"I'm not your puppet and I won't let you manipulate me."

"But this is your tribe! This is your family!" Manuel shouted wrathfully.

"Then from now on we're through and I'm not your family anymore!" I looked at him, "alpha Manuel, please liquidate the property that belongs to me."

"You're leaving us?" Manuel asked in a deep voice and frowned, "Lauren, you wanna abandon your own tribe?"

Abandon my own tribe?

I grew up in this place and this was my home. But I didn't have a sense of belonging to this place anymore. "I'm not the one who abandoned the tribe."

After saying that, I slowly walked out of the venue and didn't want to have anything to do with this drama.

But Manuel roared behind me, "Lauren, you stop right there!"

I completely ignored him and kept walking.

I underestimated his greed and overestimated his love for me. The next second, I could hear some men coming at me from behind.

"Lauren! Danger! I smell the scent of a pack!"

"Stop her! Don't let her go!" Lola shouted at those men and Manuel didn't stop her.

I could hear them getting closer but Bella wasn't good at fighting. We weren't sure that we could make it to the car and escape and they had blocked my way out. I had to take off my high heels and ran as fast as I could. Victor's beta Richard was waiting for me outside.

"Stop!"
