Raegan confirmed with a nod and presented a bank card to Matteo, inquiring, “Do you have the IOUs handy?”
With Matteo’s confirmation, Raegan instructed, “This card has three million dollars in it. Verify the amount, then please hand over those I0Us.”
Matteo hesitated, suggesting, “Shouldn’t we wait for Mr. Dixon…”
Raegan cut him off, “No need. Just confirm the balance and provide me with the I0Us promptly, Matteo.”
Raegan flatly refused. She was worried about being misconstrued by Mitchel’s new girlfriend.
Eloise observed the scene quietly, so to avoid any issues, Matteo escorted Raegan aside to resolve the matter of the debt.
Once the debt was settled, Raegan left.
Meanwhile, Mitchel was preoccupied in his office until nightfall.
Emerging from his work, he discovered Eloise asleep on the couch.
Mitchel’s brow furrowed as he inquired, “Why is she still here?”
“Miss Benton insists on waiting for you,” Matteo replied with a hint of resignation.
Mitchel’s frown deepened, realizing Matteo was merely fulfilling his duties and wasn’t to be faulted.

The Benton family was currently in the limelight. If Eloise were to be sent away by his staff, it could fuel rumors of a rift between the Dixon and the Benton families, potentially affecting the stock market.
“Should I wake Miss Benton?” Matteo offered tentatively.
“No, let her sleep. Just ensure someone stays here with her,” Mitchel directed, preparing to leave.
“Mr. Dixon,” Matteo called out, halting Mitchel to report Raegan’s earlier visit and the debt situation from the afternoon.
He extended the bank card toward Mitchel.
“She insisted on leaving this.”

Mitchel had previously instructed Matteo that Raegan didn’t need to repay the debt if she came to collect the IOUs.
Despite Matteo explaining this, Raegan had left the card anyway.
Under Mitchel’s intense gaze, Matteo felt an overwhelming urge to discard the card.
Angered, Mitchel glared at the card before hissing through clenched teeth, “Dispose of it.”
Then he stormed off.
Seething in his car, Mitchel’s anger gave way to a sudden stomachache.
