Chapter 443 Menu Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Royce’s expression changed. “We are family. Lenny, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that we will leak information to outsiders to harm you?”

Bella also said, “Your father is right. Lenny, before you left, you specifically reminded us not to call the police. Even if I am getting old and forgetful, I haven’t forgotten what you said. We didn’t report it to the police. As it concerns your life, we absolutely wouldn’t disclose the information to outsiders.”

Deandre said, “I can assure you that Haleigh and I did not leak any information. Marie was caught by them. If any information is leaked, both Marie and you might not survive. Haleigh and I would never take such a risk. Even though Angel disappeared shortly after you left. We remember your repeated instructions not to call the police before you left.”

Rayne also disagreed with Lennon’s words and said, “There must be some misunderstanding.”

Lauryn said, “Yes, there must be a misunderstanding. Maybe, one of Marie’s friends or colleagues accidentally let slip and someone with ill intentions overheard it, then deliberately called the police to harm you.”

Lennon hadn’t spoken yet, Mariela suddenly laughed.

She sneered and said, “Lauryn, the person who called the police was Jaime. You leaked the information to him, didn’t you?”

Lauryn’s face turned pale. She said, “Marie, what are you talking about? How could I possibly...”

She didn’t finish speaking.

Lauryn was slapped.

It was Mariela who slapped her.

She was so fast that everyone was stunned and didn’t react.

Lauryn covered her face, tears filling her eyes. She said, “Marie, I know you have never liked me, but you can’t unjustly accuse me without any reason like this...”

Saying that, Lauryn covered her face and turned to Bella, “Grandma, you have to stand up for me.”

Bella’s expression suddenly changed. She said, “Mariela, how dare you slap Lauryn in front of us! You have absolutely no manners! Is this how your parents taught you? To resort to violence at the slightest disagreement? Do you claim to be a well–

bred lady of a prestigious family? I see you more like a vulgar woman!”

also No matter what, Lauryn was his adopted daughter, a member of their Stark family. However, Mariela slapped her. He Royce was angry. thought that Mariela was provoking the Stark family.
