Do you think you can marry another man at your whim, and I’ll just stand by and do nothing?” Mitchel’s handsome face contorted with rage as he spat out the words through gritted teeth.
Stefan, protective of Raegan, pulled her behind him and spoke resolutely. “Mr. Dixon, as far as I know, Ardlens is governed by the law. If you intend to control everything, you should be aware of whom you’re up against. Raegan is now the daughter of the Foster family. She’s no Longer the vulnerable girl who endured mistreatment and captivity under your authority. If you ever dare to mistreat her again, both the Foster family and the Clifford family will not let you off lightly.”
Mitchel’s expression darkened considerably at the mention of the Clifford family. The Clifford family in the north! It was practically an autonomous nation.
In that land, the royal family served as mere figureheads, with the true power held by two dominant clans. One of the clans was the influential Maxwell family, and the other was the renowned Clifford family. The Clifford family, in particular, wielded immense wealth and influence within the country, making them unparalleled in power.
Mitchel couldn’t believe that someone as seemingly mild-mannered as Stefan was actually a member of the formidable Clifford family.
Mitchel sneered, “I’ve heard that despite their immense power, the Clifford family places great importance on ethical principles. I’m curious why you would resort to such actions to pursue someone else’s woman!”
Stefan’s demeanor appeared distant, with a slight smirk forming at the edge of his lips. “Mr. Dixon, people can indulge in their fantasies, but it is unwise to constantly dwell in illusions. Since Raegan is not currently in a relationship, I am free to pursue her.
What gives you the right to claim that I’ve stolen your woman? It appears to be merely your own unfounded presumption, not hers.”
Mitchel’s face turned a deep red, his fury palpable in the air. He grabbed Stefan by the collar and shouted, “I don’t care how arrogant you are elsewhere, but you’re now on my territory, and you won’t be able to take Raegan away from me!”

Mitchel’s fury clouded his mind, and he had the sudden urge to rip Stefan apart with his bare hands.
The oppressive aura around Mitchel made Raegan uncomfortable, and she quickly tugged at Mitchel’s arm, afraid he would do something drastic.
“Mitchel, snap out of it! If you dare harm him, I will never forgive you!”
Raegan’s protective instinct hit Mitchel’s heart like a poisoned knife. The pain was almost unbearable, but it also had the dual effect of intensifying his anger.
A reckless, deranged laugh burst out of Mitchel’s mouth. “If you think you can get rid of me so easily, you have another thing coming!
Be it in this life or the next, you will always be mine!”
The incensed light in Mitchel’s eyes convinced Raegan that he had completely lost it.
However, what happened next left Raegan even more astonished.

Mitchel opened his robe, revealing his well-muscled, alluring chest and abdomen. He pointed at the hickeys on his skin, a vicious sneer twisting his features. “Is this what you meant by not wanting to get involved with me? I also have recordings. Would you like to hear them?”
Raegan’s ears turned hot, and soon, her heart sank as well. She couldn’t believe she actually had sex with him.
As she gazed at Mitchel’s handsome features, a wave of fury washed over Raegan.
“Whack! A ringing sound echoed around the room as Raegan’s palm connected with Mitchel’s cheek.
Slapping him did Little to quell Raegan’s anger. Furious, she growled at him. “Shame on you! You knew very well what was going on with me.
Yet, you still took advantage of me! You filthy asshole!”
Mitchel was momentarily stunned. He registered the slap on his face, but the deep ache in his chest was something he couldn’t stand.
