Raegan felt ironic. “Mr. Dixon, you worry too much. I’m not so undesirable that no one but you can have me. And I am an adult, capable of making my own choices. I have the ability to discern right from wrong. If I’ve made a choice, I will trust that person. And speaking of making wrong decisions, don’t you realize that you have been the biggest wrong decision in my life?”
Raegan had suffered enough when she fell for Mitchel. She believed no other man could make her as heartbroken as Mitchel.
Mitchel’s expression became stern, and his eyes were filled with aggression. “Are you dead set on choosing him?”
Raegan didn’t want to talk with Mitchel anymore. “Mr. Dixon, please mind your own business. Let me out of the car now. I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings.” After all, Mitchel was getting married soon. She wanted no further involvement with him.
Mitchel glared at Raegan and said in a severe tone, “You think he is gentle and civilized? He lives in a barbaric family. How can his hands be clean and unstained with blood? He might want to change his life. But have you thought how difficult it will be for him to establish himself somewhere else once his

family’s savage practices are exposed? If things get tough on him, he will likely return to his family in Aurora. By then, he cannot escape the destiny of having multiple wives arranged by his family. Are you willing to share a husband with other women?”
Raegan was surprised that Mitchel had prepared such a lengthy argument. Didn’t he know it was incredibly rude to talk about someone else’s personal matters behind their backs? Moreover, Mitchel had always been prejudiced against Stefan, speaking ill of the latter.
“This is my business. Even if I make the wrong decision, I will bear the consequences myself,” Raegan asserted.
Mitchel didn’t expect Raegan to be this unwavering in defending Stefan, which reminded him of how she wholeheartedly loved him before.
This made him feel like his heart was being squeezed hard by a giant hand, giving him endless pain. Aside from the pain, there was also bitterness he couldn’t control.
Mitchel couldn’t help but scoff. “It seems you really love Stefan. Since these things don’t matter to you, it appears you won’t mind leaving this place and living with him in Aurora…”
Suddenly, a slap sound echoed in the car.
Before Mitchel could finish his words, Raegan’s palm landed on his handsome face.
Fuming, Raegan snapped, “Mitchel, are you threatening me? Does my displeasure bring you joy? Why do you have to force everyone close to me away? When you told me not to pester you and to stay away from you, I did. I did everything you asked. What else do you want?”
Raegan’s eyes reddened, she gripped his shirt and tore several buttons in a hysterical outburst. “Do I have to be miserable for you to be happy?”
She felt Like she was being driven mad, all her pent-up grievances pouring out at that moment. “Is that it? Tell me!”

Mitchel, taken aback by her words, his lips quivered as he began to speak, but then he saw Raegan rolling down the car window, attempting to jump out.
“Stop the car!” Mitchel roared angrily.
In an instant, Mitchel reached out, grabbing Raegan by the back of her neck and yanking her back forcefully.
The car screeched to a halt, and Raegan lurched forward due to the sudden stop. Just as she was about to collide with the hard seatback, Mitchel swiftly wrapped her in his arms, cushioning her from the impact.
Raegan braced for impact, using her arm to shield herself. She had expected it to hurt, so she did her best to protect her body.
To her surprise, she crashed against Mitchel’s chest instead, which lessened her pain significantly.
However, the loud “thump” made Raegan worry briefly about Mitchel.
But she soon dismissed the thought, considering his regular workout and muscles. Plus, there was no actual crash, just a harsh stop, so the impact wasn’t severe.
Raegan hadn’t really planned to jump out of the car. She simply did so to force Mitchel to stop the car abruptly, knowing him wouldn’t let her get out of the car unless she took drastic action.
