Henley stopped, taken aback by her shrewdness. He hadnt anticipated such a preemptive move on her part. If her claim was true, abducting her would indeed be fraught with complications. His lawyers had advised him that if he could avoid trouble for a month, they could manage any legal issues arising within Ambrosia.
Watching Henley mull over his choices, Raegan sensed he was evaluating the risks of proceeding. She sat down on a chair and suggested with a hint of challenge, Mr. Brooks, why not give it a try? I bet your plane wont even make it out of the city. Believe me?
Henley remained silent, pondering her words. After a lengthy silence, he stepped back, laughing coldly. Raegan, youre truly clever. Together, we could dominate the world.
Raegans heart steadied, realizing the immediate threat had passed.
Within moments, he had dismissed the idea of kidnapping her, primarily due to the significant complications she posed.
Mr. Brooks, I have no desire to conquer the world, but theres an old saying, Those who practice injustice will ultimately bring about their own downfall.' Raegan continued, I suggest you reflect on these words before you act in the future. Maybe gather some good deeds. It might save you from a few stints in boiling oil in hell.
Henley laughed heartily, his arrogance undiminished. Raegan, as long as I wish it, no one can catch me.
Henleys perfectionism had often been his salvation. Paired with a lawyer adept at navigating legal loopholes, his arrogant declarations carried no trace of guilt.
Raegan, weary of his bluster, scoffed dismissively. Well see. My only wish in life is to see you face justice for your wrongdoings.
Henley felt a flicker of regret. Since reaching adulthood, things had typically gone his way. Whenever they hadnt, hed manipulated circumstances to his favor. Although he might lose in the battle regarding taking over the Dixon Group, it was a minor setback. He had ample funds to start anew abroad. Yet, the one conquest that eluded him was Raegan. What a pity..
Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud Bang!
Mitchel stormed in and Landed a solid punch on Henleys face, sending Henley staggering back.
Mitchel moved to strike again, but Henley seized his wrist, his voice icy with menace. Mr. Dixon, I assume you wouldnt want to spend your wedding day at the police station?
Mitchel clenched his fist but held back from striking again, standing upright as he issued an ultimatum, Do you want to leave on your own, or should I have someone escort you out? The police will be here very soon!

Mitchel had already alerted the police after receiving a message from Raegan. However, given it was their wedding day, he preferred to avoid a scene. Ideally, Henley would leave quietly and be apprehended outside.
Henley straightened his disheveled suit and smirked. Since Im clearly not welcome here, Ill

take my leave. He paused before exiting, fixing Raegan with a profound look. Raegan, I will live my life without regrets.
Mitchels hand clenched into a fist again, ready to strike, but Raegan quickly grasped his arm, whispering, Dont let him provoke you. Today is our wedding day. She was resolute in not allowing Henley to derail their ceremony.
Someone! Raegans voice was low but firm. Please escort this gentleman out.
Bodyguards swiftly entered the room. Henley, maintaining his composure, shrugged off their hands. I can leave on my own. He then exited with his posture erect.
Mitchel watched Henley leave, feeling a mix of relief and suspicion, and promptly instructed his security team to keep a vigilant watch on Henley to prevent any further mischief.
Raegan, are you alright? Mitchel inquired, his voice laced with concern after issuing his commands.
Security at the wedding was stringent. Henley might have managed to infiltrate, but abducting Raegan was out of the question. Henley should be grateful he didnt escalate the situation. A hostage attempt could have forced Mitchel to respond defensively, leading to unpredictable outcomes.
Mitchel resolved to make Henley regret any disruptions, but on their wedding day, he desired no violence.
Raegan smiled reassuringly. Why would his threats scare me? Im not so fragile.
