The Pole Shadow organization was a group of people Sebastian had specially trained to protect him and his people from the Klein family.
The Larson Group did decent business, So shady dealings had to be done forcefully by another group of people under the cover of the darkness of the night.
After Natalie had gone over the bridge and into the river as a result of the collision, Lauren didn’t hear anything in the news reporting any survivors.She assumed that Natalie must have died.
When she returned to the mansion, she felt refreshed.She suddenly felt like she was back to the days of prosperity and good fortune for the Quinn family.She dressed herself up nicely and was in high spirits.She grabbed her bag and headed to the shopping mall.
Since the Quinn family had collapsed, she had never squandered money.
To her unwelcome surprise, the first thing she saw on the news on the big screen at the shopping mall was about the car accident on the bridge.
The news gave an update that the two drivers had died but the two women had survived and had been rescued and admitted to hospital for emergency treatment and medical observation.
Frown lines appeared on her face, even though she wore skilfully applied, delicate makeup.She was so disappointed and unhappy that she almost stamped her foot and cursed.
‘How could that bitch be so lucky?’ she lamented.
They had made such an effort to ensure the plan went off without a hitch, yet she somehow still managed to survive.
In any case, there was no point in becoming angry now.
After considering the entire situation for some time, the best she could do was comfort herself that there was no evidence left behind in the accident.
Even if the plan had failed, there would be no consequences for her.
She no longer had any desire to do some shopping and just wanted to take a taxi back home.
Just as she had walked up to the curb side to hail a taxi, a black minibus with tinted windows pulled up before her.
Before she could scream, her mouth and nose were covered and she was dragged into the minibus.
When Lauren opened her eyes again, she was scared out of her wits.She was tied up in a small dark room.
Above her on the ceiling, a fan constantly spun around slowly.
A few rays of dim light emanated from the dusty, old globe on the fan, highlighting the specs of dust hanging in the air.
In front of her was a mirror, which was a one-way mirror that was commonly found in an interrogation room.
She could only see herself in the mirror, but she knew that there must be someone behind the mirror watching her.
Lauren asked in a trembling voice, “Who… who are you? You want money, right? Give me a phone and ill ask my daughter to give you money right away.”
“Why did you bribe the truck driver to hit Natalie?” A loud and strange voice could be heard in the room.
Lauren was shocked and immediately denied it.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. had nothing to do with it.”
“It doesn’t matter even if you don’t admit it. We have plenty of time to interrogate you,” the voice said.
The moment the voice stopped speaking, a bucket of ice-cold water was poured directly over her entire body.Sebastian’s men had expansive of means for this sort of interrogation.
Lauren had been living a comfortable life of luxury for many years, so she couldn’t bear the slightest torture at all.
This kind of endless interrogation was the most torturous.She was alive, but all she could do was struggle in despair.
After a few days, Lauren finally admitted what she had done.
“I’ll tell you everything.Please let me go!”
She was covered in bruises.Her mouth was parched and her voice was meek.She knew that her confession would definitely be recorded in a video, but she really couldn’t tolerate the torture a moment longer.
“I did hire the driver to hit Natalie’s taxi…” Lauren told the truth, but she omitted the involvement of Cassie or Charis.
Lauren still wanted to keep Charis on her side to help Cassie.She didn’t know what these people would do to her later on.She had to leave something out to make sure Natalie suffered even when she died.
“Did you plan the car accident all by yourself?” Sebastian said from where he stood behind the one-way mirror.
It would have been impossible for Lauren to have executed this plan all on her own.
“Yes, it was me.I hate Natalie so much.She hurt my entire family,” Lauren said with a ferocious look on her face.
Sebastian didn’t question her any further.He just said simply, “Turn yourself in.”
Lauren suddenly raised her head and asked, “Turn myself in?”
A charge of a double murder was enough for her to be sentenced to death.
Sebastian sneered, “It’s up to you.The death penalty can give you a quick death. If you don’t go and turn yourself in, you will only die more miserably.lt’s easy for us to kidnap you again after all.”
Cassie didn’t notice that her mother was missing until the next day.She had been with Luke in a hotel the previous day.
When she got home and saw that Lauren was still not back, she instantly smelled something fishy.She then asked George uneasily, “Dad, where is my mom? It’s so late. Why isn’t she back home yet?”
George harbored inveterate hatred for Lauren now that he knew what she had done.Her whereabouts was no longer his business.
With his legs crossed, he glued his eyes to the TV and responded, “Am I your mother’s keeper? I don’t know where she is, and nor do I care!”
Cassie didn’t have the strength to argue with her father.She just slammed the door and left angrily.
Since she couldn’t get through to her mother or find her, she decided to file a missing person report at the police station But the efforts of the police were also futile.
When they checked the surveillance cameras along the way, they found that Lauren was last seen at the shopping mall.
But then she had suddenly vanished out of sight.
The cops blamed this on blind spots and the busy crowd in the shopping mall.
They indirectly told Cassie that there was nothing more they could do.
Since Cassie had exhausted all her options, she was forced to ask Luke for help.
“Mr.Turner, please help me this time.” She burst into tears and was out of breath.
Luke still fancied her for the time being, so he was prepared to do whatever she wanted.
“Hey, don’t cry.Don’t worry, your mother will be found.l’ll ask my men to look for her immediately.” Luke had the best private investigators on his payroll, so he thought this matter was a piece of cake.
Much to his surprise, his men found no trace of Lauren after combing the nooks and crannies of the city.
“Do you know if your mother offended someone? My men weren’t able to find any clue.Perhaps one of her enemies is behind her disappearance,” said Luke.
The Turner family was one of the most powerful families in Seacisca.
Only a few people could compete with them.
Hot tears welled up in Cassie’s eyes when she heard this report.
After a long silence, she remembered that Charis previously said that Natalie had the support of Brandon.
She snapped her fingers and said, “Yes, I suspect… I suspect Brandon Larson!”
‘I’m sure that man has a hand in this.
After all, Natalie had escaped death by the whiskers.
It seems he’s taking revenge for Natalie because of what happened!’ she pondered.
