“I understand your concerns for Mitchel, but I disagree with you.”
Alexis stopped in his tracks and turned back to face Raegan with a dark expression.
Raegan lifted her gaze and continued in a neutral tone, “I don’t think there’s anything shameful about my background.”
Despite her humble background and losing her parents at a young age, Raegan never lost hope, nor did she see herself as less than anyone.

On the contrary, she considered herself lucky to have a caring grandmother, who loved her dearly.
Her inferiority around Mitchel stemmed from his exceptional achievements in all aspects.
In his early twenties, Mitchel earned a double major bachelor’s degree abroad and set a record in his early Wall Street career.
Mitchel’s accomplishments in the business world were unmatched globally, especially considering his young age.
Of course, the difference in their family backgrounds played a role, but Raegan’s primary goal was to grow stronger. She did not necessarily aim to match him, but to excel in her own field.
Alexis did not expect Raegan would have the courage to challenge his words.
Suddenly, Alexis’ expression darkened even more, and his eyes brimmed with scorn.
“Young lady, don’t be so naive. Let me tell you something. People Like you, born without privilege, will never stand equal to those born with a silver spoon!”
His words, though illogical, were often effective.
Anyone lacking mental resilience would quickly succumb to his words that were designed to brainwash and belittle the individual.
However, Raegan had faced many challenges over the years.
Despite life’s hardships, she remained resilient and optimistic. She would not be brought down by Alexis’ bullshit.
“If you deem yourself as a man of high status, I hope your mindset matches it. You know, it’s rude to look at others through such a narrow lens,” Raegan calmly retorted.

This implied that Alexis was the kind of person who stood tall yet looked down on others.
Alexis’ expression darkened at her mocking words.
Clearly, he had not anticipated Raegan’s articulate response.
The next second, Alexis lost his composure and began to curse vehemently, “Don’t fool yourself into thinking my son will defy me just because you two spent two years together. Cross me, and I’ll make you disappear from the face of the world.”
His words carried an unmistakable threat. He meant if Raegan dared to defy him, he would finish her.
Alexis’ viciousness took Raegan by surprise.
No wonder Mitchel rarely spoke of his father. The gap between them was insurmountable.
