Chapter 391

She rushed over and slapped Ray.

Laura pulled Darcy out of the house with all her strength and yelled at Ray, "Lawrence finally learned the truth and woken up. I won't let you ruin things. Ray, if you don't release Darcy today, I will divorce you right this instant! Jerk, I won't even give you a minute to think."

Ray glared at Laura with fiery eyes. She was trembling all over, her cold and ruthless demeanor becoming even more alluring as she behaved viciously. Ray was stunned by her words, "divorce," realizing that Laura wanted to divorce him.

"Darcy, please come with us!" Bryan had already rushed in with his men and quickly apprehended Darcy, pulling her out of the Gu Mansion.

"Ray, Ray, save me!" Darcy saw Ray hesitating when it came to Laura especially when she mentioned the word "divorce." She felt like she was going to vomit blood from the immense distress but Lawrence didn't give her a chance to escape.

The imposing bodyguards dragged her out and placed her into the car.

"Ray, no matter how many times that woman harmed my mother, it still wouldn't be enough. You better not follow her to seek death," warned Lawrence, with a cold and emotionless gaze.

Ray trembled slightly meanwhile Darcy's face turned pale, feeling truly anxious.

She had thought that Ray could protect her and stand up against Lawrence, but it turned out he was just a useless fool.

The car door violently swung open. The bodyguards led Darcy into a stark white room, heavy with the smell of disinfectant.

Restless and apprehensive, Darcy saw Lawrence walking in, his demeanor icy and calculated. His face devoid of any expression, sent a shiver down her spine.

Darcy clung to her desperate denial and said, "Mr. Rodriguez, please, I had nothing to do with the kidnapping."

Lawrence's intense gaze bore into her, cold and indifferent. "You have the audacity to claim innocence after stealing my mother's kidney, feigning kindness for three whole years, deceiving me and make me question your sincerity?"

His chilling words made Darcy tremble. She gritted her teeth and stubbornly resisted, saying, "Mr. Rodriguez, you can't condemn me to death solely based on your mother's words. She had just woken up and she is disoriented. Who knows if Winnie secretly used some kind of drugs to alter her memories, framing me! Winnie practices dark arts. I told you three years ago that she hypnotized you. It must be her."

Suddenly, Winnie burst into the room, holding Oscar's little shoe in her hand. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped Darcy repeatedly forcing her to the ground. "What do you think you're doing, Darcy? What cunning scheme are you up to this time?"

The fury and hatred in Winnie's eyes remained undiminished.

Lawrence stood silently nearby; his expression pitiable.

Winnie stared at Darcy's swollen face and sneered, "Your truly silver tongue served you well, how else could you deceive Lawrence for so many years? I'm here to settle some scores today, the three of us. For framing me, poisoning Madam Rodriguez, digging out her kidney, and then faking a kidney donation using a kidney that wasn't even yours. Madam Rodriguez told Lawrence about this with clear logic. You can't escape. But what else does he not know?"

Darcy's face paled as her blood ran cold.

Winnie squatted in front of her, raised her head to look at Lawrence, and laughed until her eyes turned red. "There's more to the story. Who cured your functioning neurological disorder three years ago? Was it truly this woman, Darcy, who only knows how to poison people?

"No, Lawrence, it was me. Darcy couldn't heal you, so she pushed me into your ward. I stayed with you all night when you dreamed of your mother crying, when you touched our child in my belly. Why would I want to cure you? Because I loved you back then, and yes, I did feel guilty. I didn't vie for credit with her."

Lawrence frowned deeply; his expression frozen. She had explained it to him countless times back then, but he wouldn't listen.

Winnie fixed her mocking gaze on Darcy and said, "You used the 'kidney donation' ruse to secure Lawrence's unwavering trust, making him believe in any of your actions without a doubt. To the point that later, you instigated numerous rumors about me and Rock. You casually fabricated that I had depression, and Lawrence unilaterally threw me into the sanatorium."

Lawrence deeply regretted trusting Darcy too much back then. He believed her when she said the child would be born with autism. He wanted Winnie to get better and selfishly didn't want to let her go.

Winnie's smile gradually turned icy as she stared through Darcy and continued, "Now for the climax. The doctor Darcy bribed in the sanatorium had injected me with labor-inducing drugs. It may sound unbelievable, but on the night I managed to escape, Olivia and I found the girl who had sold her kidney to Darcy. We intended to expose Darcy to you. But Darcy found out and chased after me and the girl. She then proceeded to kill that innocent girl. She did it right in front of us, Lawrence. She killed someone!"

Winnie added, "She then kicked me, causing my amniotic fluid to rupture, then sent Olivia to a club, where people sexually assaulted her and threatened her not to reveal the truth of that night."

"You're talking nonsense." Darcy panicked and continued to deny, "Mr. Rodriguez, she's manipulating your mother's condition to push all the blame onto me."

Winnie stepped on her hand; her gaze full of sorrow as she locked eyes with Lawrence. "She kicked and ruptured my amniotic sac, leaving me helpless and alone. She dialed your number, asking me to seek your help, but I screamed until my voice was hoarse, and you didn't say a word. I took your silence as an indication that you didn't want the child. I was so desperate, so angry at you!"

Lawrence's eyes turned cold as he shook his head in disbelief. "Three years ago, on the night you jumped into the sea, I never received your call. I was on a plane! Darcy, so it was you, you orchestrated it all!"

Darcy was rendered speechless as they confronted each other.

Winnie, her voice heavy with sorrow, explained, "So, you called an empty number? Taking advantage of my despair, making me believe you didn't want me and the child. You even went as far as wishing for our deaths! I fled to the roadside, gave birth to our child, and Darcy's people pursued me. I thought, if the man I loved didn't want me and wanted my child to die, then let me die to show him. It was better than being tortured by Darcy. That's why I jumped into the sea!"

Lawrence listened to her anguish, shook his head sternly, and let out a bitter laugh. "Winnie, it wasn't like that. I didn't receive your call on that night. But Darcy misled me. When I arrived at the shore, she said you had rushed to save Rock in Trento City after escaping from the sanatorium and in a desperate attempt to get rid of me, you threw the child into the sea.

"There were bloodstains by the roadside from your escape. When I saw them, I was consumed in anger. I hated that you abandoned me. Later, Sidney lay in an incubator for half a year. I blamed everything on you. I couldn't move past it. It was my own foolishness, my mistake in trusting her for three years, believing she was trustworthy."

Winnie, her voice laden with pain, looked at him sarcastically. "So, now you know what 'good deeds' she has done? She's such a malicious person. Do you know it now?!"
