Chapter 161 Laurens heart sank , but her face remained cold and distant .
She declared firmly , No one has the right to decide about my marriage except me Michael let out a scornful laugh .
I knew youd resist , but its pointless .
This arranged marriage has been approved by the head of the family and the Rhodes Corporation board members .

With a mocking glance , Michael walked away .
Lauren sat back in her chair , feeling helpless as she mumbled , Even after everything , I still cant escape being another steppingstone for the familys expansion … Her gaze flashed with determination as she continued , The Driscoll family might be powerful , but I refuse to accept this arrangement ! However , it did not last long .
The light in Laurens eyes quickly dimmed as she let out a bitter laugh .
She wondered aloud , mumbling , What about his feelings for me ? These past few days , hes completely focused on Christina , ignoring me .
Perhaps Michael was right Im the one who foolishly misread everything .
Meanwhile , Michael stormed back to his office , his face dark with anger .
As soon as he entered , he slammed the door and violently threw an ashtray across the room .
A sinister looking elderly man in black sat on the couch with his legs crossed .
He asked coldly , Mr.
Rhodes , whos gotten you so worked up this time ? Michael barked , I cant stand that bitch Lauren anymore .
Im running out of patience ! I need to seize control of Rhodes Corporation quickly and get rid of her .
Only then can I make her pay for all the humiliation she caused me .
Bane replied calmly , That girl has always been headstrong , and you shouldnt have provoked her .
Your time to take over Rhodes Corporation will come soon enough .
Michaels eyes lit up , his interest piqued .
Oh ? Have you found a way to bring Lauren down , Bane ? Bane scoffed .
That girls got a sharp mind .
Forgive me for saying this , Mr.
Rhodes , but shes far more clever than you .
Taking her down in one shot wont be easy .
However , shes still young , and with my help behind the scenes , shell eventually make a serious mistake .
In fact , Rhodes Pharmaceuticals annual supply run is coming up thats our opportunity .
Michaels mind raced as he observed Banes cunning smile .
Are you suggesting we strike while Laurens handling the supply transaction ? +25 BONUS Bane replied smugly , Exactly ! Rhodes Pharmaceutical has to source new medical supplies from rural vendors .
Its a crucial business that shell have to oversee personally .
Once she leaves for the rural suppliers , security will be lighter .
The remote location will allow your men to ensure her complete failure .
Michaels smile grew wider until he burst into maniacal laughter .
Perfect ! Its time to teach that bitch a lesson .
Its just too bad that bastard Andrew managed to survive .
Tonys dead , but somehow , that guy made it through !
