Chapter 550 Jerry shook his head .
Based on the leads provided by Mr.
Rhodes , we conducted surprise inspections of all the hotels , but we didnt find her .
Ive already reported the situation to Mr.
Warren at the Jayrodale Police Department .
If even he cant find her , then itll be a real problem .
Michael frowned , visibly unsettled .
Thats strange .
Troy was just captured theres no way Ruby couldve sensed it and escaped so quickly .
Tiana snapped , Shut up .
Do you think everyones as incompetent as you ? Keep searching for that wretch ! After the loss shes caused the Rhodes family , I wont rest until shes torn to pieces ! Meanwhile , Lauren lingered at the Moonlit Sanctuary until late at night before reluctantly returning home , The moment she stepped inside and turned on the lights , Tiana was already there , like a ghost waiting in the darkness .
Laurent surprised .
She said calmly , Please leave .
I need to rest .
Without a word , Tiana strode forward , pulled up Laurens sleeve , and inspected her arm before exhaling in relief .
Lauren sneered .
Relax .
The mark is still there .
Im still a virgin .
Tiana instinctively wanted to lash out but , for some reason , her expression softened .
Taking Laurens hand gently , she asked in a quiet voice , Lauren , do you hate me as your mother ? Lauren shook her head .
Hate is too strong a word .
Theres just no bond between us .
You gave birth to me but didnt raise me .
When I finally grew up , you found me , only to talk endlessly about how amazing the Driscoll family is , how wealthy and powerful they are , and how deeply rooted their legacy is .
All you wanted was for me to marry Joe for the familys sake .
Ive never heard of a mother like you someone who didnt care for their child growing up but swoops in later to dictate their marriage and force them to marry for convenience .
For a brief moment , a flicker of pain appeared in Tianas eyes , but she quickly concealed it .
Without saying another word , she turned and walked out of the room .
Lauren stood frozen , her composure finally breaking as she began to sob softly , Unbeknownst to Lauren , Tiana had stopped just outside the door .
Leaning against it , she listened to her daughters quiet cries and murmured softly , My child , no one in this world loves you more than I do .
It breaks my heart to see you unhappy .
But there are things you dont understand yet .

Ms.
Stevens , theres nowhere left for me in Jayrodale .
Please arrange for me to leave the city immediately ! At a secluded location , Ruby appeared in a state of panic , urgently pleading with Aspen .
The Rhodes family had issued a powerful warrant against her within the aristocratic network , effectively turning her into a fugitive with no choice but to run .
+25 BONUS Chapter 550 Aspen gritted her teeth .
How did this plan go so wrong ? Where exactly did things fall apart ? How did the Rhodes family find out you stole the formulas ? Ruby cursed angrily .
Its all because of that idiot Troy .
He confessed everything to the Rhodes family ! Aspens tone turned icy.
Thats impossible .
Troy wouldnt be that foolish .
Besides , considering his infatuation and desire for you , he wouldnt betray you to the Rhodes family .
Doing so wouldnt win him your favor it would only bring him their wrath .
From what youve said , Troy was utterly obsessed with you .
Men like that driven by lust are easily controlled .
Once youve got a hold of them , they become nothing more than obedient dogs .
Her words dripped with disdain and contempt for men , revealing her deep rooted hatred and scorn for them .
