I fail to see how this concerns me. Is there a reason why you should talk to me? Were we close before?”
Raegan’s string of questions made Katie’s face turn pale.
Katie was the esteemed daughter of the Glyn family and was also the vice president of the Dixon Group. Both attributes combined made her an influential figure in Ardlens. As a result, she was treated with respect and deference by everyone she came across. It had been ages since anyone dared to challenge her like this.
Despite feeling her temper rise, Katie forced a smile and spoke calmly to Raegan. “You seem to have misunderstood me, Raegan. I simply happened to walk by and when I saw you, I thought I should have a word with you.”
Raegan’s demeanor remained the same as she coolly retorted, “I didn’t misunderstand anything. I really don’t want to talk to you.”
Raegan was not the type of person to unjustly mistreat someone.
However, while Katie’s words seemed polite on the surface, Raegan knew exactly what she was trying to imply.
A discerning ear would pick up on the subtle tone of superiority in Katie’s introduction. By saying she grew up with Mitchel, she was trying to tell Raegan that she was Mitchel’s childhood sweetheart.
Raegan’s expression turned sour. She never imagined there were so many potential love interests around Mitchel. Not only did he have Lauren, his crazy first love, but also a childhood sweetheart.
Indeed, Mitchel’s outstanding looks and excellence were attractive to women. But Raegan didn’t understand how this had anything to do with her. They had already divorced, so she hoped these people would stop bothering her.
As far as this little introduction was concerned, Raegan felt justified in her hostility.

Katie’s Lips trembled as she struggled to form a smile. “Raegan, have I hurt your feelings? Do you think that Mitchel and I…”
Katie didn’t finish her sentence, leaving enough room for imagination.
Raegan glanced at her and enunciated in a deliberate voice, “First of all, we don’t know each other, so I hope you don’t pretend to be my friend. Secondly…”
Raegan smirked before continuing, “You need to understand that what you consider precious may mean nothing to others. Don’t be so confident that just because you like Lame things, others will, too.”
Katie’s face drained of color immediately. She was astonished by how much Raegan had changed. In the past, Raegan was a people-pleaser and never stood up for herself when she was bullied.
Now that Raegan was done saying her piece, she turned on her heel and was about to head back to the chamber when she bumped into Mitchel who just came out of the chamber.
Mitchel’s handsome face was dark and cold and his thin lips were tightly pursed. His displeased expression made it clear that he had heard Raegan’s words.

Raegan knew her words must have hurt Mitchel’s pride. However, she didn’t feel any sympathy toward him. She only found the woman around him annoying. She didn’t spare him a second glance and walked away.
Mitchel hesitated, his fist clenching and then relaxing as if he was unsure whether to grab her. Eventually, he decided against it.
Katie breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she had seen Mitchel coming out early on. Moreover, she always paid attention to her reputation and the impression she left on others. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what she just said. Any outsiders who heard her would think that she wanted to catch up with Raegan.
But in reality, Katie wanted to use this opportunity to make Mitchel see how hostile Raegan became.
Katie approached Mitchel at a leisurely pace, her gaze fixed on him and a smile on her lips. “I don’t understand why Raegan is upset. It seems like there was a misunderstanding somewhere. Do you think I should apologize and clarify things with her?”
Katie was confident that Mitchel wouldn’t find anything wrong with what she just said to Raegan. In fact, she was certain that her words made her seem generous.
