Chapter 174 Sometimes I’d Actually Wish That You’re a Bit Dumber!

• Lauren smiled blandly, her gaze composed. “Emily, I think you’ve got the wrong person!”
• “No, how can that be possible? You’re the only one I’ve crossed; if it’s not you, who else could it possibly be?” Emily shook her head furiously. It was as though Lauren was the only one who could save her family. She continued to grip Lauren’s hand tightly, unwilling to let her go.
• “Emily, perhaps the Lauren of five years ago—who was the sole heir of the Collins Family—would have the power to do so. However, look at me now; I’ve got nothing to my name other than an aching, sickly body. I’ve already fallen so far as to sell my voice to earn a living. How could I possibly have the power to cripple the Reads?” Lauren shook Emily’s hand off herself, watching as Emily stumbled a few steps back. A light smile still hung on Lauren’s lips, making it seem like she was laughing at herself.
