Chapter 185 Tricking Him Leon stormed forward, grabbing Tiffany's arm and yanking her up from the bed, his eyes glaring at her fiercely.
"So you think I shouldn't have come? Tiffany, you know my relationship with Ulysses, yet you're all over him. I never knew you were so desperate for attention. If you want a man, just say so!" Leon's words were harsh, and his tone was even harsher.
Tiffany felt uncomfortable and forcefully shook off Leon.
"What's wrong with you, Leon?" "What's wrong with me? Weren't you two just hugging? I see you don't let anyone slip by!" Leon growled. He had just arrived outside the hospital room and saw Tiffany twist her ankle, with Ulysses helping her to the bed. He saw it all.
For sreason, his chest felt tight, and he couldn't stand it. He rushed in to confront her.
Tiffany thought Leon was being ridiculous. His words were so unpleasant that she didn't even want to explain. "Mr. Cooper, what you think is none of my business, but your presence is indeed disturbing my rest. Please leave. I said I don't need you here." Angered by what he said, Tiffany didn't want to see him and told him to leave.
Leon was actually worried about Tiffany being alone in the hospital, so he used Ronald as an excuse to cback. He thought he could brush it off if Tiffany asked.
But after what he just saw, Leon didn't even feel like explaining.
Since Tiffany wanted him to leave, Leon naturally had no reason to stay. He listened to her and left, slamming the door behind him.
With a loud "bang," the room fell silent again.
Tiffany lowered her eyes, her eyes turning red and gradually moistening.

Just as Tiffany was about to rest, Ulysses' words echoed in her mind.
Since she needed to clarify things, she decided to meet the kidnapper and Lauren the next day.
The following morning.
Tiffany checked out of the hospital and took a cab to the police station.
She needed to give her statement from the last incident and requested to see the kidnapper.
The police didn't stop her and brought the kidnapper leader to the visitation room. Due to the kidnapper's dangerous nature, Tiffany and he were separated by glass and could only communicate via the phone in front of them, ensuring their conversation wouldn't be overheard.
Tiffany sat down, picked up the phone, and pointed to the phone in front of the kidnapper.
The kidnapper picked up the phone and asked first.
"What do you want?" "What's your relationship with Lauren?" Tiffany got straight to the point, not wasting any words.
At first, the kidnapper just laughed dismissively at Tiffany's question.
"Miss, you still don't get it, do you? You were all my captives. What kind of relationship do you think we have?" Tiffany wasn't surprised by his response and continued, "I've already investigated everything. Lauren confessed tothat she hired you for this kidnapping, making you do her dirty work. She also toldthat since you're all in here, she doesn't have to keep her promises, because you wouldn't even find out." Tiffany spoke confidently, though none of it was true. She just wanted to test the kidnapper's reaction and see if she could get the truth out of him.
Sure enough.
When Tiffany finished speaking, the kidnapper's face changed.
"I... I don't understand what you mean!" He was still being stubborn, but it was clear he was panicking.
Tiffany calmly continued, "It's okay if you don't understand, but I'm the only one who can help you now." Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

If you tell the police she was behind it, do you think they'll believe you? Do you have any evidence?" Tiffany wanted to know if Lauren had left any traces. The kidnapper's panicked look suggested that Lauren had covered her tracks well, leaving no evidence against her. No one would believe him even if he tried to implicate Lauren.
Tiffany underestimated Lauren. After all, when someone does something wrong, there are usually sclues. How did Lauren manage to do it so cleanly? "I'm giving you this one chance. If you tellwhat you know, maybe... I can help you." Tiffany dangled the bait, leaving it up to him to take it.
He lowered his head, looking conflicted, likely afraid of Lauren finding out about his betrayal.
"You don't have to worry about Lauren finding out. Since she toldabout this, she knows you can't keep a secret." Tiffany guided him step by step, and finally, the kidnapper relented.
"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..." He lowered his voice, speaking into the phone so only Tiffany could hear.
Ten minutes later.
Tiffany walked out of the police station, took out her phone, and messaged Lauren asking to meet.
Lauren quickly agreed.
They arranged to meet at a bar near the Cooper Group.

The kidnapper's confession matched what Ulysses had said. It confirmed that Lauren had orchestrated everything.

Tiffany wanted to know why Lauren did it. Was it just to see Leon's choice? It couldn't be that simple, right? When the cab stopped, the driver reminded Tiffany they had arrived.
She got out and walked into the bar, immediately spotting Lauren at the bar, waving at her.
Tiffany walked over quickly and sat across from Lauren.
Lauren glanced at the wound on Tiffany's shoulder and asked, "Does it still hurt?" "It's much better." Tiffany replied flatly and asked the waiter for a glass of red wine.
"Your wound hasn't healed yet. Drinking isn't a good idea. How about something else?" Lauren seemed concerned about Tiffany, which made Tiffany uncomfortable, so she declined her suggestion.
"It's fine. It's just a small wound." Lauren smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.
When the waiter brought their drinks, Tiffany swirled her glass and took a sip.
"Ms. Simpson, you should really consider a career in acting. Your talent for it surpasses many current stars." "Really? But I'm not interested in acting. Competing in business projects givesa sense of accomplishment." Lauren chuckled, took a sip of her drink, and when she looked at Tiffany again, her eyes turned cold.
"Miss Grey, you didn't chere to catch up, did you? Let's get straight to the point," "Ms. Simpson, aren't you good at reading minds? Can't you guess this time?"
