aegan’s heart raced, and she quickly covered Mitchel’s mouth, forcefully saying, “Stop saying such silly things!”
Mitchel caught her wrist and softly ki*sed the back of her hand, filled with overwhelming happiness. “We’ll be with Janey together, forever not apart.”
Raegan couldn’t hold her tears back anymore. Their journey seemed to live by the old saying that consistent thoughts found a way to connect.
After countless challenges, separations, and reunions, they found their way back to each other. But now, things felt different. Their bond had grown stronger, their trust deeper.
Mitchel’s recovery was quick. Within less than two weeks, he was discharged from the hospital to continue recovering at home. Yet, he wasn’t allowed to work more than six hours a day at the Dixon Group, as per his doctor’s orders, but Mitchel often stayed longer.
Mitchel couldn’t help it. He now faced a new threat from Henley’s ambitious schemes.
Henley had a knack for business, achieving impressive success in international trade within his first few weeks at the Dixon Group, boosting its performance significantly.
This success won over the previously doubtful shareholders. After all, Henley’s illegitimacy didn’t matter to them. What mattered was his ability to turn a profit.
Silently, the Dixon Group’s dynamics began to shift, and someone deliberately leaked information about Mitchel’s injury, causing his support to plummet from fifty-five to thirty-five percent.
Meanwhile, Henley secured thirty percent of the shareholders’ support, coupled with the strong backing from Alexis.
Henley’s rise to prominence at the Dixon Group was unparalleled, and he relished it.
Moreover, Mitchel had publicly challenged Alexis on several occasions.
This sparked rumors that Alexis was considering replacing Mitchel with Henley, suggesting that Mitchel’s prestigious heritage might not guarantee his position.
Raegan knew about these shifts but felt powerless to intervene, offering only her silent concern. She was especially anxious about Mitchel’s health and whether he could handle the pressure.
Today, having fewer tasks at the studio, Raegan decided to visit the Dixon Group with some homemade nutritious soup.
Upon her arrival, Matteo informed her that Mitchel was in a meeting, so Raegan decided to wait in his office.

On her way, Raegan ran into Henley.
Henley welcomed Raegan with open arms, seemingly having forgotten the awkward run-in they had in the hospital.
“”Raegan, you’re here!” Henley’s tone was soft, but to Raegan, it just didn’t sit right. She remembered seeing a side of him she couldn’t shake off, convincing his gentleness was just for show.
Raegan kept the conversation short, saying, “I’m just here for Mitchel.”
When she tried to walk by, Henley stepped in her way. His eyelashes drooped slightly and he hooked his lips like he was in a good mood.
“It seems you really don’t want to be around me. I admit, I was out of line before, and I’m sorry.”
Raegan’s skin crawled. “You don’t have to apologize,” she responded, her tone sharp.
“Are you still upset with me?” Henley asked.
