Chapter 1073
"Not to mention, you're even reckless enough to have a child with her!"
The more she thought about it, the more restless Vanessa felt. Vanessa was so anxious that she turned around and stood up. Willy could deduce that she was clearly not the one who made the calls.
He instantly said, "Mom, who told you that Lauren's an ex-convict?"
"Do you think I would need someone to tell me that? As soon as the photos of you two attending the Clements family's banquet came out, I heard all the gossips about her without even having to check! The last time I attended a banquet, there were also people there who knew her! They said that she was born into a humble family and was most skilled at making use of men to get what she wanted. Willy, you should not be fooled by how pitiful she seems! Sympathy is not love! Once the child is born, our family isn't short of money, so we can just treat it as if we're raising someone unimportant. However, you can't get confused!"
Her heart was jumping up and down, and she didn't try to hide anything.
"Did you know that Lauren has the nickname 'Poison Rose'? Everyone calls her a little vixen. I heard from an insider that her style of doing things is terrible. She uses men to climb up the social ladder. She got into that school with the help of her youthful body. She used men to steal experiment results, and was even got caught having an affair with a man in the laboratory by the management staff. She then blew up the laboratory out of pure hatred, and ended up harming that management staff so badly that he can't even speak anymore! In the end, she was just sentenced for causing unintentional injury on others! She even stayed in prison for a period of time. I had someone check on it, and it was true! The most despicable thing was that she was released and had caused her ex-boyfriend to be imprisoned instead! I don't want to meddle in her business, and I'm not interested in it either. The point is, she's just shamelessly pestering you!"
Vanessa painstakingly tried to persuade him again.
"Willy, I know that you're all grown up. I am not interfering with your private life, and I don't need you to find a daughter from a rich family or be with someone you aren't in love with. Even if she is an orphan, I can accept it. It doesn't matter if she's poor, but, she should be a normal and motivated girl! At least, she shouldn't be flawed with her personality and morals! I don't like that terrible, complicated woman who is pregnant with your child out of wedlock!"
Only then did he realize how deep Vanessa's misunderstanding towards Lauren was, and how twisted he had made the situation out to be. Willy also suddenly realized what the problem was, and piped up.
"Mom..."
He was about to say that he was the one who had taken Lauren's virginity, but he was afraid that if he did that, Vanessa would suspect that Lauren was just trying to trick him.
After a pause, he changed his statement. "Mom, do you know how Lauren got out of prison?"
"Huh?"
Vanessa was stunned. Willy continued, "It was me who approached her first, and I bailed her out using the pregnancy method!"
"What?"
Vanessa's eyes widened as she let out a scream. Didn't that mean that Lauren wasn't the one who had gone after Willy?
Vanessa was not stupid. How could she not sense such an obvious contradiction?
At that point, Willy noticed the doubt in her eyes and directly went on.
"I'm not speaking up for her. I'm telling the truth. A powerless woman has already been sentenced due to a crime. Without a situation that's out of the ordinary, how could she walk out freely from prison and put her ex-boyfriend in it instead?"
"All this was done by me! Mom, did you know, Lauren is actually a genius in chemistry! What are you talking about, saying she used a man to get to where she is now, is not true. She graduated with a master's degree in a famous university abroad and her academic achievements are outstanding. It was because of her nickname 'Poison Rose' that I went to her for help. I needed her knowledge to help me solve some matters. It wasn't because of the bet that I was making at all. Why would I take such risks just for the thrill? In conclusion, the things you said about her messing around with men and trying to pester me are all not true. Where did you hearthem from?"
"Also, do you know why Lauren was acquitted? It was because the laboratory was accidentally blown up by her ex-boyfriend! She was too kind, and was tricked by him into admitting to the crime for him. As a result, this scumbag didn't just cut off all of her contact with the outside world, he even took away all of her assets and was shameless enough to be getting ready to be married to another rich lady, and to travel abroad to further his studies! If I hadn't found all this out and obtained solid evidence, Lauren wouldn't even have been bothered with me at all, or let me bail her out! She's very kind, but she's a person of few words. It's possibly because she doesn't have many close friends, she treats everyone who is genuinely kind to her with her heart and soul! If it wasn't for the fact that I went to look for her, she'd still be paying the price for another person's crime! I just wanted to instil the justice for her..."
To say she was shocked was not enough to describe Vanessa's emotions right then. Dejectedly, she slumped on the sofa.
Why was it different from what she knew?
At that moment, Vanessa felt distressed just listening to her story.
She remembered that when she went over that day, Lauren had indeed been cooking. She thought that she was trying her best to please Willy. She was so angry that she had deliberately flipped the table and scolded her.
At that time, she indeed had not said a word. Thinking about it in retrospect, she also felt that she had crossed the line towards a pregnant woman back then!
When she left, the impression Lauren gave her was indeed not bad!
"Mom, there's one more thing. Lauren keeps receiving calls from you recently, and you're constantly yelling at her!"
As soon as she heard what Willy said, Vanessa suddenly exploded in anger.

"What? I just told you this woman is scheming, and you didn't believe me. When did I call her? I don't even know what her phone number is! Do you think I would have to do it myself in order to take care of her? If I wanted to scold her, I could have just gotten someone else to do it!" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She regretted for feeling guilty earlier. She even began to form a good impression of Lauren!
"She's too despicable! She's definitely pretending, playing the victim to form a rift in our relationship as mother and son! She wants you to take pity on her!"
"What a despicable woman! I must take the mask off her!"
Turning around in rage, Vanessa looked like she was about to storm out, but she immediately understood the purpose of Willy's visit.
"You didn't come back to question me about this, did you?"
She had raised Willy in vain. He was the typical kind of guy who had forgotten his own mother after falling for a girl!
"Where is she? I want to see how far she can take these pretences of hers!"
Vanessa seemed like she was about to go argue with Lauren. Willy grabbed her hand. "Mom, her pregnancy has been affected and has already been hospitalized for several days!"
"What?" With a yell of surprise, Vanessa got even more shocked. She was so cruel! In order to frame her, she could be so cruel to herself and even her child!
However, at the same time, she was also a little hesitant, for fear that the situation would get worse if it was not handled properly. She gritted her teeth hard as she was basked in her hatred towards Lauren. She had decided that it was Lauren who framed her!
Right at that moment, Willy said, "I heard someone scolding her over the phone!" He was implying that Lauren was not just making things up and complained about her.
"What?"
She shrieked again, and Vanessa felt dizzy. "You heard it, and you still dare to say it's me? Can you not even recognize your own mother's voice?" As soon as she said that, their gazes converged, and an idea emerged. It suddenly made sense.
"Do you mean... Someone imitated my voice and scolded her?" Not to mention, she had been scolded to the point that it affected her pregnancy? Was she just acting, or...
Regardless, she refused to become the scapegoat in that situation!
"Mom, who was the one that told you about Lauren?"
