Raegan and Nell had crossed paths at a party four years ago. When Raegan was being harassed by someone. Nell had come to her rescue.
Nell had mentioned that she and Raegan used to be close friends, even though Raegan couldn’t recall their past connection. Their friendship had rekindled due to an unspoken understanding between them.
Raegan knew Nell hailed from Ardlens and had connections with the upper class, so it wasn’t surprising that Nell knew about Mitchel.
“Thank goodness he got the wrong idea about Stefan and me dating. I delivered a well-placed blow and played my cards right. That’s how he ended up compromising,” Raegan happily shared.
Raegan had initially anticipated it would take days to convince Mitchel, but she was pleasantly surprised by his straightforward approach.
She reluctantly admitted that Mitchel didn’t seem as irritating as she had once thought.
However, that was the extent of her opinion about him. In Raegan’s eyes, Mitchel was nothing more than a stranger she didn’t hold any resentment toward.
Nell and Elin raised their glasses in celebration. “Let’s toast to Raegan’s return to the single life!”
Setting her glass down, Elin retrieved a diamond-studded brooch and handed it to Raegan, saying, “Here’s a little gift for you.”

Raegan hadn’t expected Elin to have prepared a divorce gift, but she appreciated the gesture and smiled, giving Elin a grateful ki*s on the cheek.
Nell leaned in, propping her chin on her hand, and exclaimed, “Oh, I can’t believe I forgot about that!”
Just as Raegan was about to reassure her that it wasn’t a big deal, Nell interrupted, “Wait a second, I can find you a guy! What type are you interested in?”
“What! Caught off guard, Raegan nearly choked on her wine.
Nell, however, didn’t miss a beat and raised her hand, summoning the waiter. “Please, send the most handsome guy over to this booth!”
Raegan’s embarrassment was palpable as she covered her face and protested, “Oh, come on, stop teasing me!”
Seeing Raegan’s reaction, Nell playfully continued, “Oh, how can I forget about that? After all, you’ve already been involved with someone as handsome as Mitchel. How could you give a shit about other guys?”
Raegan snorted. “What’s the use of good looks? No matter how attractive a man is, it doesn’t change the fact that he can be a complete jerk.”

Just as she finished speaking, the man sitting next to their booth suddenly wore a sour expression.
Sitting across Mitchel, Luis couldn’t contain his laughter as he gazed at Mitchel’s sour expression.
Luis playfully remarked, “I never expected Raegan to be so clever that she managed to trick you into divorcing her.”
Mitchel’s usually handsome face darkened with a gloomy cloud.
Luis spotted Raegan in the bar and eagerly beckoned Mitchel over.
The entire conversation among the three women had been inadvertently overheard by Luis, and when Mitchel finally arrived, he caught only the tail end of Raegan apparently labeling him a jerk.
However, being the gossip enthusiast that he was, Luis generously recounted the entire exchange to Mitchel.
