I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

587 Lauren was even upset that Kate got a promotion and a raise without her ever needing to lift a finger for an entire month ! Kate's monthly salary was 12 thousand dollars now ! Lauren , on the other hand , worked her ass off and barely pulled in six thousand dollars . Every time she thought about it , Lauren felt like killing Kate , and she actually blurted out the thought . Carter had just recovered from her last tirade when he heard her say over their video call that she wanted to kill Kate . He frowned immediately . " You'd better get rid of such terrible thoughts right now .

" Lauren replied expressionlessly , " I was just saying . Are you nuts ? " Carter said , " Some people might be joking , but if you're saying you want to kill her ... you'd actually go through with it . " Lauren was at a loss for words . " Don't glare at me . You expect me to believe that you never hired anyone to do that ? " Lauren nearly snapped a plastic spoon in half . " You bastard ! Why are you even video calling me ? If my food gets cold , I swear I'll eat at your place ! " " Peter just called me , " Carter replied . Lauren took a bite of her food , unimpressed .

" What does that have to do with me ? " " He said he saw Sawyer . He was dining with a group , and a woman was getting way too close to him . " Lauren perked up instantly . " Where ? Where ? " Carter shrugged . " You won't be able to get in there . " Lauren was rendered speechless . Knowing Lauren had been butting heads with Kate , Carter instinctively wanted to share the news with her . Lauren asked , " Aren't you a member of that place too ? Can't you get in ? " " I could , but I can't afford it right now , " Carter said honestly . Lauren blinked . " Man ... You were once loaded .

Have you really fallen this far ? " " I have savings , but I can't touch them . They're for the kids ' schooling , activities , and overseas studies . " That shut Lauren up . " I'll pay . Just take me in , " she said , Seeing Kate fail was something Lauren would die trying to witness . 1/2 An hour later , Lauren and Carter sneaked into the members - only restaurant . After nearly two hours of waiting , Lauren finally managed to snap photos of Sawyer leaving the private room with a woman she didn't recognize . Damian was right behind them . Sawyer was walking way too close to the woman .

Anyone could tell that they were more than just friends . The way he treated her wasn't casual at all . Desiree Norwell brushed her long , beautiful hair back and smiled warmly . " Alright , then . Let's catch up another time . " Sawyer nodded . " I'll drive you . " " No , you should head home too . " Desiree waved goodbye . Seeing him again after so long , Desiree realized that she still hadn't moved on . But sadly , Sawyer was already married . Lauren froze that scene on her phone .

She deliberately avoided capturing the woman's face , but she managed to get Sawyer's profile , thinking that it was enough . When it came time to pay , Lauren's perfect mood shattered . The four dishes they ordered came to 300 dollars ! She felt that they might as well rob a bank ! Why did they even open a restaurant ? Seeing Lauren's face twisted in pain , Carter helplessly handed over his card . " Wow ! Mr. Jamison , you really are loaded ! " Lauren's expression immediately brightened .

By the time he exited the restaurant , Carter still felt like he had lost his mind for making this trip . But he couldn't shake the strange urge to make sure Lauren didn't lose to Kate . " I'm heading back . " " What the hell ? At least give me a ride ! " Lauren stomped her foot , fuming .
