Chapter 329 Ticking Time Bomb
Lauren tugged at my hand, I glanced at Carol, and then we left together. When we arrived at a fondue restaurant, Carol could not wait to ask Lauren how she found Melanie’s biological mother.
Lauren smiled smugly and told us everything. She had tasked her friends with finding Abby and had been waiting for an opportunity to put her to use. It was clear why Matthew was so embarrassed.
Lauren had searched for Abby for several months. About a month ago, she received word that Abby was in the suburbs. The older woman had been hopping from one place to another, marrying and causing
trouble for her various husbands.
However, Abby had never established herself properly.
Lauren
had brought her back to Foswood in time for Matthew’s party. She had wined and dined Abby for an entire evening, subtly influencing her. Hence, Abby could not wait to reunite with her ‘successful‘
daughter.
Carol and I burst into laughter as we listened to Lauren’s story. It was quite a spectacle, and the Murphys
were in for some turbulent times ahead.
Lauren had planted a ticking time bomb within the family. It seemed they would never have peace again.
I admired Lauren for her audacity. I knew she held grudges, and I was fortunate not to have crossed her.” Lauren, you’re amazing. Thank goodness I’ve never done anything to offend you.”
Lauren enjoyed our laughter but soon grew severe, saying, “Don’t think too highly of me. I only did it to get back at Matthew for you. I’m not the type to pursue vengeance relentlessly.”

Lauren nodded. “Can you honestly let this slide? If I were you, I couldn’t do it!”
I remained silent for a while and then said, “This time, I want to set up a trap for three of them, but it will
take some careful planning. I want to make them regret ever messing with me!”
Lauren squinted and leaned forward to look at me, asking, “Do you have a plan already?”
I glanced at her and Carol, and they immediately understood my gaze. They leaned in, and I whispered a
few things to them.
