Mitchel’s thin lips parted slightly. He replied, “Don’t bother.”
Mitchel knew better than anyone why Raegan was acting this way. Her actions were not driven by anger or jealousy. In truth, she despised everyone around him because she disliked him.
Oblivious to Mitchel’s thoughts, Katie took his words as surficial meaning and was delighted, thinking he was siding with her and deemed Raegan being unreasonable. The more unreasonable Raegan acted, the more magnanimous she had to be.
Affecting a concerned expression, Katie murmured, “Don’t take Raegan’s words too personally. I’m sure she didn’t intend for them to be hurtful.”
Again, her words were delicately chosen. While her words appeared comforting on the surface, they were making Mitchel replay Raegan’s words in his mind.
After all, Raegan just called Mitchel a lame thing.
Mitchel had never been described with such an adjective in his life.
If he was a lame thing, then there was no good thing in this world.

Katie’s smile vanished as she fought to control her emotions.
“Mitchel, did you ever consider my feelings?”
Katie’s words carried a touch of grievance. This wasn’t something she aimed for after enduring so much these years.
Katie came from a decent family. Marrying into wealth was no challenging task for her. But for the public to get the wrong id

ea of her being Mitchel’s fiancée, she put up with the coverage of belittling her for her failure to marry Mitchel.
She did it all for Mitchel. She was dead set on marrying him. To her, Mitchel’s wealth and power were just the cherry on top. She had fallen for him for years. She was certain no one in the world could love Mitchel more than she did.
Mitchel looked up at Katie, his words cold and unyielding. “I’ve decided to win Raegan back,” he declared. “I’ll talk to my mother.
If you find it hard to convince your parents, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry. I’ll take all the blame, so your reputation won’t suffer.” His tone left no room for discussion.
Katie realized the more content she had felt moments earlier, the more humiliated she felt now.
In essence, Mitchel was telling Katie that she was no longer useless to him. After all, he had opposed the marriage with her all along.
