As Raegan said nothing, Alexis assumed she was intimidated and scoffed.
“As for your two-year marriage with him, I’ll take it Like Mitchel had summoned a prostitute for his needs. You’ve had your taste of a wealthy life. Now leave, and don’t you dare come back to Mitchel.”
His crass words filled Raegan with disgust.
Raegan fixed her gaze on Alexis and asked pointedly, “Tell me, what are you so afraid of?”
Alexis faltered for a moment.
The truth was, he said those harsh words for fear Raegan might reunite with Mitchel, which would derail his plans.
“Me, afraid? Don’t be ridiculous. You think you can intimidate me?”
Alexis retorted with false bravado.
“To tell you the truth, Mitchel came to me last night, asking me to discuss an engagement with the Benton family. The wedding ceremony will be held soon enough.”
Engagement? Mitchel planned to propose to Eloise Benton?
Raegan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
If Mitchel was set on marrying Eloise, why had he risked his life for her and spoken those heartfelt words to her?

Noticing Raegan’s shocked expression, Alexis sneered with satisfaction.
How dare this woman challenge him! She had clearly overestimated herself.
“As Mitchel’s father, it’s only right for me to remove any nuisances for my future daughter-in-law, unless…” Alexis looked at Raegan with contempt and continued, “You intend to be Mitchel’s mistress.”
His words, laced with disdain, made Raegan feel as though she was in a pressure cooker.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and it took quite an effort to regain her composure.

At this moment, Raegan pursed her lips and shot back, “You don’t have to worry about it. I refuse to be anyone’s mistress. Once Mitchel is engaged, I will not show up in front of him again.”
Seemingly pleased with her response, Alexis nodded and warned, “Remember your promise!”
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
Raegan looked over and saw a familiar face stepping out of the elevator.
Trailing behind the crowd was a girl in a coat and bud hat. Her features charming and youthful.
Raegan recognized her at once. It was Eloise.
The woman leading Eloise bore a resemblance to Eloise. It must be her mother.
