She left a sentence, &quot;You will regret it.&quot; 4 years later, he saw her on TV and introduced her as a top 100 female CEO and a single mother of triplets. The faces of her three children are exactly like his ...<br /> =============<br /> Chapter 1 Ex-girlfriend Returns<br /> <br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment. <br /> <br /> All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor&#039;s words. &quot;Congratulations! You are going to be a mom.&quot;<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. &quot;Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel&#039;s grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather&#039;s dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn&#039;t been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn&#039;t learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโ€™s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t wait up for me. Good night,&quot; he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, &quot;It&#039;s already so late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, &quot;Be good, okay? There&#039;s something I have to do. Don&#039;t wait up.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> &quot;What&#039;s the matter?&quot;<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, &quot;I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> &quot;Let&#039;s talk about it tomorrow, okay?&quot; Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan&#039;s mind. She couldn&#039;t sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn&#039;t interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, &quot;Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man&#039;s figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan&#039;s gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel&#039;s number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> &quot;Hello!&quot;<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman&#039;s voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president&#039;s office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn&#039;t help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan&#039;s colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel&#039;s office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn&#039;t sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn&#039;t be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president&#039;s office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man&#039;s voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> &quot;Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?&quot;<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean exactly?&quot; Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know exactly what I mean!&quot; Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, &quot;I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn&#039;t she your type?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you want me to hand her over to you?&quot; Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know what, forget it!&quot;<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan&#039;s ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis&#039;s voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> &quot;By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren&#039;s mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her.&quot;<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. &quot;As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two...&quot;<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan&#039;s head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. &quot;Hey, Mr. Stevens!&quot;<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn&#039;t the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, &quot;Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, &quot;Do you think she heard us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn&#039;t paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn&#039;t work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel&#039;s true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;And who is that?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, my! You don&#039;t know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she&#039;s the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She&#039;s his first love!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Why is her return such a big deal? Isn&#039;t it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan? She&#039;s nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She&#039;s not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she&#039;s already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!&quot;<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> &quot;Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel&#039;s cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, &quot;Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. &quot;Maybe itโ€™s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, &quot;Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s retort made Tessa&#039;s face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. &quot;What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?&quot;<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, &quot;What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don&#039;t know you are just an orphan? The nerve of...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโ€™s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, &quot;You... You pushed me? How dare you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, &quot;Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness.&quot;<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn&#039;t mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa&#039;s face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel&#039;s cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa&#039;s wrist so that the latter couldn&#039;t move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, &quot;How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?&quot;<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> &quot;That&#039;s enough!&quot;<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel?&quot; Tessa&#039;s blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. &quot;Mitchel, she bullied me.&quot;<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel&#039;s handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, &quot;Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?&quot;<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan&#039;s breathing cease. She couldn&#039;t believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn&#039;t a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel&#039;s rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. &quot;Humph! Don&#039;t think you&#039;ll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don&#039;t buy...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you&#039;d excuse me,&quot; Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa&#039;s face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn&#039;t appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan&#039;s direction, Tessa shouted, &quot;Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she&#039;s still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan&#039;s thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> &quot;Enough!&quot; he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn&#039;t think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn&#039;t care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, &quot;Next time, I&#039;ll get someone to teach her a lesson.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tessa!&quot; Mitchel&#039;s tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, &quot;I&#039;ll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone.&quot;<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, &quot;Ok... Okay, got it...&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. &quot;Irrelevant people wouldn&#039;t be allowed in here from today onwards.&quot;<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. &quot;Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. &quot;Ms. Lloyd, this way, please.&quot;<br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, &quot;Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel&#039;s eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn&#039;t even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn&#039;t aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver&#039;s side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan&#039;s face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let&#039;s Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, &quot;Ma&#039;am, where to?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn&#039;t want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, &quot;Please take me to Crystal Bay.&quot;<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn&#039;t that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn&#039;t move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn&#039;t she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> &quot;Why didn&#039;t you answer the phone?&quot; he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn&#039;t slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn&#039;t find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would&#039;ve thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, &quot;I didn&#039;t hear it ring.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, &quot;I&#039;ve been looking for you for two hours.&quot;<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn&#039;t find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> &quot;Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let&#039;s go home now.&quot; After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn&#039;t taken a single step. He frowned and asked, &quot;Can&#039;t you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, &quot;Let&#039;s divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> &quot;I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> &quot;We will be strangers?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. &quot;Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?&quot;<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn&#039;t let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn&#039;t be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don&#039;t have to come here again.&quot;<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn&#039;t help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, &quot;If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No, this isn&#039;t about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now.&quot;<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn&#039;t come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> &quot;Stop this, will you?&quot;<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> &quot;You have a fever?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, &quot;Where do you think you are going?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, &quot;What are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What does it look like I am doing?&quot; Mitchel remarked. &quot;Taking you to the hospital, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No way!&quot; Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel&#039;s arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor,&quot; Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan&#039;s heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> &quot;Put me down! I don&#039;t want to go to the hospital!&quot; LEARN_MORE https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-e 215069711684182 Late reading https://facebook.com/61554989897813 14,931 1 475,295,982,109,272 2024-07-20 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 1 0 Learn more 0 Late reading 120211589078660758 fbweb.moboreader.net NONE image https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-enj57-1125-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=124213&accid=791750052879575 2024-07-17 23:26 https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/451780047_1214913589502699_8092624676350451900_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=Qknc5OQj0XwQ7kNvgHUSUXo&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AYBX71dgxzak_9KNR_x-6JZuyMl7C8Cccm6ljwlPcrPgKQ&oe=66A1D9CC person_profile 0 moboreader https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/451849093_449420557921998_9079258973251338154_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=e-u6My_DuyQQ7kNvgF3aLRP&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AYC5PZ1tg4blfXUfeCWeeYtXOmljJ1pWB1gDpjFhR3tUDg&oe=66A1DB53 0 3 Late reading 0 0 2024-07-19 02:00 View Edit

No 2024-07-20 14:54 active 1151 0 1388161798517954 ๐Ÿ”ฅClick to Read on๐Ÿ“œ<Second Chances: Protecting Mrs. Hall>๐Ÿ“œ ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’”In a remote warehouse, Emma Wilson was engulfed in a raging inferno, drugged and bound, unable to move.<br /> <br /> Through the deadly flames, she caught sight of her stepsister and her new husbandโ€”whom she had just married earlier that day at city hallโ€”standing safe and sound. In despair, she screamed, &quot;Why the are you doing this to me?&quot;<br /> <br /> Standing at a safe distance, her sister Aria Wilson spoke with contempt. &quot;Emma, really? Haven&#039;t you figured it out yet? Elijah didn&#039;t cheatโ€”he never loved you at all! He only pursued you to get his hands on your shares. Now that he has got them, and you&#039;ve been his wife for a day, it&#039;s time for you to die!&quot;<br /> <br /> Reeling from the betrayal, Emma struggled to grasp that the man she had trusted for three years could be so cruel.<br /> <br /> Her eyes filled with rage as Aria continued, &quot;You get why we had to set this up, right? So Elijah can ditch you without splitting any assets. The entire Wilson fortune will be all mine! Oh, and that 2 million dollars your dear mom left you? I used it to fund my studies abroad three years ago, thanks to your naivety. She&#039;d be turning in her grave knowing her husband was stolen, her daughter murdered, and her life savings snatched by me!&quot; She burst into hideous laughter.<br /> <br /> As the fire roared louder, Emma, through her tears, watched Aria and Elijah walk away hand in hand, laughing.<br /> <br /> Blinded by grief and fury, Emma&#039;s eyes burned with hatred. She was not ready to dieโ€”not like this.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, an explosion rocked the warehouse, and a concrete beam plummeted towards her. Emma tried to dodge, but her body was drained of strength.<br /> <br /> Just then, she heard rapid footsteps. A man rushed towards her and shielded her with his body. A second later, the beam crushed his back.<br /> <br /> Amidst the roaring flames, Emma caught sight of the man&#039;s face and froze. &#039;Liam... What is he doing here?&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t be scared, Emma,&quot; Liam Hall murmured, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.<br /> <br /> He had come as soon as he got the news, but it was already too late.<br /> <br /> &quot;Noโ€”run for it!&quot; Emma screamed as the ceiling threatened to give way.<br /> <br /> But Liam stayed, fiercely protecting her as flames and debris fell around him, the smell of burning flesh filling the air.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why... Why the hell are you doing this?&quot; Emma cried, tears streaming down her face.<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry, Emma,&quot; Liam&#039;s voice was calm, almost serene amid the chaos. &quot;I won&#039;t let you face this alone. Not even in death. I&#039;ll always be with you...&quot; His handsome face gradually disappeared into the flames.<br /> <br /> Despair washed over Emma as she shut her eyes, swearing to herself, &#039;Elijah! Aria! In another life, I swear I won&#039;t let you off!&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;Liam... next time, it&#039;s my turn to protect you,&quot; she whispered into his ear. Her words were barely out before the fire surged, engulfing the embracing pair in its fierce grasp.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Emma&#039;s eyes snapped open. Instead of the inferno she&#039;d expected, she found herself in a warm, cozy room.<br /> <br /> She instinctively checked her hands. They were intact, no longer bearing the calluses from her martial arts training and no signs of burnsโ€”what was going on?<br /> <br /> Scanning the room, Emma realized this place was no ordinary hotel. It was decked out with medical equipment and carried the faint scent of disinfectant, resembling more a luxury hospital suite than anything else. It all felt disturbingly familiar.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, it hit her. &#039;This is the day I was taken back to the Wilsons when I turned 18! I&#039;ve been reborn on the day I returned to Troln City!&#039;<br /> <br /> Emma held back a wave of ecstatic relief. With this second chance at life, she vowed to utterly destroy the scum who had wrecked her life before.<br /> <br /> &quot;Emma, your blood has been sent off for testing. Now, take off your coat so I can check you over,&quot; a voice announced as a man in a white coat entered. He was strikingly handsome, a tear-shaped mole accentuating his eyes.<br /> <br /> It was Elijah Taylor. Rage boiled within Emma as she faced the man responsible for so much of her past agony.<br /> <br /> In her past life, she had complied and removed her coat without hesitation, which was exactly when reporters, alerted by Aria and her cruel stepmother Nora Wilson, had stormed in. They had smeared her reputation, painting her as a wanton seductress for supposedly trying to entice a doctor on her very first day back. Her father, grandmother, and the entire Wilson family had shunned her, branding her a disgrace.<br /> <br /> &#039;Of course, this was all a setup by Elijah and Aria from the get-go,&#039; Emma realized. Fueled by rage, she grabbed a vase from the bedside and hurled it at Elijah&#039;s head, shattering it with a loud crash.<br /> <br /> Elijah staggered, his head gushing blood. He never expected the seemingly naive and fragile Emma to lash out.<br /> <br /> &quot;What the , Emma?&quot; Elijah bellowed, clutching his wounded head.<br /> <br /> &quot;Elijah, you think you can kidnap me and get away with it? I&#039;ll beat the crap out of you!&quot; Emma yelled back, her voice thick with fury.<br /> <br /> Elijah was completely taken aback. Just moments before, Emma had meekly followed him to the hospital, and now she was accusing him of abduction. &#039;Has she figured something out?&#039; he wondered.<br /> <br /> &quot;Emma, what the hell are you talking about? Kidnapping? You came here on your ownโ€”&quot; His words were cut short as she struck him again with a vase.<br /> <br /> Panic set in, and he shouted for help, &quot;Somebody help! Restrain her!&quot;<br /> <br /> Seven or eight burly men rushed into the room.<br /> <br /> &quot;So you had your goons waiting outside?&quot; Emma sneered, contempt in her eyes. &quot;What, ready to force me if I didn&#039;t comply?&quot;<br /> <br /> Elijah&#039;s face contorted with fury, all traces of his earlier gentlemanly demeanor gone. &quot;I was just trying to give you a medical check-up, and you spin it into a kidnapping! Grab this crazy woman, now!&quot; he ordered.<br /> <br /> Emma scoffed, her mind racing. &#039;These bastards,&#039; she thought. &#039;If I play nice, they&#039;ll slut-shame me. Fight back, and suddenly I&#039;m the nation&#039;s notorious madwoman. Well, if they&#039;re gonna call me crazy, I might as well own it.&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;If I&#039;m guilty, let the law punish me, not you bullies!&quot; With that, she cracked her knuckles and charged at them.<br /> <br /> Thanks to these scumbags, her return to the Wilson family had been a nightmare. They showered Aria with the best of everything, leaving Emma with crumbs and daily insults.<br /> <br /> Driven to desperation, Emma had fled the Wilson family and joined a mysterious organization, dedicating herself to learning how to protect herself. Now, it was finally time for revenge.<br /> <br /> The thugs were initially stunned as Emma rushed at them, but her swift kick to one&#039;s neck and a ruthless punch to another&#039;s eye quickly turned their surprise into screams.<br /> <br /> Moments later, all the goons were sprawled out, defeated on the ground.<br /> <br /> In the hospital&#039;s security room, a group of bodyguards watched the monitor in silent awe. They had to admit that Elijah&#039;s men were no match. However, Emma&#039;s fierce skills made even these hardened protectors wary.<br /> <br /> Among them, a man in a wheelchair was glued to the screen, his gaze unwavering.<br /> ---------------------------<br /> <br /> Liam sat in his wheelchair, clad in a custom-tailored black suit that highlighted his aristocratic, icy demeanor. His presence exuded an untouchable chill and an air of nobility.<br /> <br /> With a cigarette pinched between his fingers, smoke curling around him, his gazeโ€”deep and unfathomableโ€”was locked on the screen, mirroring Emma&#039;s every move.<br /> <br /> On the display, Emma swiftly and decisively took down several sturdy men with deadly efficiency. Her skills were clearly honed over years of rigorous training.<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you sure the info you guys gave me is legit?&quot; Liam asked, his tone cold and questioning.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mr. Hall, it&#039;s rock solid. We had no clue Mrs. Hall was so...&quot; the bodyguards fumbled for words, finally murmuring, &quot;Wild.&quot;<br /> <br /> As he watched Emma, Liam&#039;s icy demeanor softened slightly. &#039;She&#039;s definitely more interesting now,&#039; he thought, intrigued.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Emma&#039;s boot was pressed firmly against a bouncer&#039;s neck, almost snapping it.<br /> <br /> &quot;Mercy, please...&quot; the men whimpered, pleading for their lives.<br /> <br /> Elijah stood by, utterly baffled. &#039;Nora said Emma was just an uneducated country girl. How could she be so skilled?&#039; he pondered.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, the door burst open, and reporters swarmed in.<br /> <br /> As Emma turned, a camera flash captured her face. &quot;Miss Wilson, rumors say you&#039;ve been neglecting your duties. What&#039;s this about you and Dr. Taylor?&quot; a reporter fired off, diving into the action.<br /> <br /> Halted by the sight of the defeated thugs, the reporter faltered, thinking, &#039;What the hell is this? This isn&#039;t at all like the scene Nora described!&#039;<br /> <br /> Emma, standing over a defeated man with her arms crossed and her hair wild, scoffed coldly. &quot;What about Dr. Taylor and me? Keep talking. You got some sort of psychic powers or just a dirty mind? Decided I was screwing around before you even saw me? What&#039;s your play? Just sleazy, or someone&#039;s puppet?&quot;<br /> <br /> The reporter recoiled, wishing to disappear, while other journalists surged forward eagerly.<br /> <br /> Seeing the throng, Elijah yelled, &quot;Watch out, everyoneโ€”she is losing her mind! Someone, help!&quot;<br /> <br /> Then, a group of police officers followed by the Wilson family entered from behind the reporters.<br /> <br /> Aria, knowing there would be cameras, wore a delicate white dress and styled her hair in a bun. She touched her lightly made-up face, squeezing out fake tears, and lunged toward Emma. &quot;Sister, my long-lost sister! I&#039;m so happy to find you! Welcome home!&quot;<br /> <br /> Nora approached with feigned warmth. &quot;Emma... it&#039;s really you! We&#039;ve searched so hard for you. But what&#039;s this? Weren&#039;t these men sent to protect you? Don&#039;t you want to come home?&quot;<br /> <br /> As Nora finished, Emma saw the barely concealed disdain from her father and grandmother.<br /> <br /> True to form, Nora&#039;s ostensibly caring words masked a sharp jab.<br /> <br /> Emma replied with a cold smile, &quot;Nora, why wouldn&#039;t I want to come home? But tell me, do you and Aria actually want me back?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What are you even saying, Emma?&quot; Nora retorted, her surprise evident. Internally she marveled, &#039;Why isn&#039;t she grateful and timid? Why the defiance?&#039;<br /> <br /> Fearing things might spiral, Nora quickly gestured to the police. &quot;Officers, though we&#039;ve only just found Emma and we all love her dearly, we must abide by the law. Her actions are our failure in upbringing. Please, handle her gently...&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma laughed coldly at Nora&#039;s performance. &quot;Really laying it on thick, aren&#039;t you, Nora? The police haven&#039;t even said anything about arresting me, and here you are, calling for my head? It&#039;s not even clear who&#039;s in the wrong here.&quot;<br /> <br /> She then pulled a syringe and an alcohol swab from a drawer, and in front of everyone, injected herself in the arm.<br /> <br /> Nora blanched. &quot;Hey, what the hell are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma remained calm and expertly drew a vial of her own blood.<br /> <br /> Handing the vial to the officer, Emma said, &quot;Officer, if I&#039;m right, you&#039;ll find hallucinogenic and hypnotic drugs in my blood, drugs that are strictly banned. I&#039;m just a country girl; I shouldn&#039;t have access to this stuff. Please find out where it came from, who supplied it, and who drugged me!&quot;<br /> <br /> The police immediately sent her blood to the hospital for testing.<br /> <br /> After a nerve-wracking wait, the results were promptly returned.<br /> <br /> &quot;Miss Emma is right,&quot; announced a doctor, report in hand. &quot;Her blood contains a banned hypnotic drug! Further investigation revealed that a reagent went missing from our pharmacy at 12:29 PM today. It looks like someone deliberately injected it into Miss Emma&#039;s bloodstream!&quot;<br /> <br /> At this, all eyes shifted to Elijah.<br /> <br /> Elijah began to panic. The drugging was part of the plot he and Nora had devised, but he never imagined Emma would detect being drugged, much less precisely name the drug. If this was pursued further, it wasn&#039;t just about not framing Emma; improperly handling medications could mean losing his job or even facing prison time.<br /> <br /> &quot;Officer, I had nothing to do with thisโ€”it must have been a mistake at the pharmacy!&quot; Elijah quickly pointed at a nurse, snapping, &quot;Explain yourself! Why was this drug added to Emma&#039;s saline?&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma watched the scapegoated nurse, now shaking with fear.<br /> <br /> The nurse, Layla Brown, was Nora&#039;s niece and Aria&#039;s cousin. Previously, Layla often participated in their cruel plots against Emma, likely out of a desire to gain their approval.<br /> <br /> &#039;This time, I bet she was involved too, considering she handles the meds,&#039; Emma thought.<br /> <br /> &quot;What are you waiting for? Write an apology and hand in your resignation!&quot; Elijah, trying to save his skin, lashed out at Layla.<br /> <br /> Emma watched them turn on each other, feeling both disdain and satisfaction. She spoke to the police. &quot;Officer, mishandling medications is seriousโ€”it can be deadly. Just quitting doesn&#039;t cut it, does it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Absolutely not!&quot; With that, the officers moved to cuff Layla right in front of Nora.<br /> <br /> As the police moved to take her niece away, Nora grew desperate. &quot;Officer, please, Layla is just a kid who grabbed the wrong medication by mistake. She shouldn&#039;t be punished so severely. Please, let her go,&quot; she pleaded.<br /> --------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Emma responded icily, &quot;Sure, Layla is just some twenty-something kid who almost killed me by messing up my meds. How come you were preaching about the law to the cops just now, and now you&#039;re ready to bend it?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her biting words caused her usually silent father, Mateo Wilson, to frown deeply.<br /> <br /> Mateo scolded, &quot;Emma, is that any way to speak to your elders? Where are your manners?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;One abandoned in the wild since birth should just be thankful for a full belly, let alone manners. You&#039;re asking if I have any? Did you ever bother to teach me?&quot; Emma snapped back.<br /> <br /> Mateo, infuriated to the point of nearly having a stroke, raised his hand to strike her but was restrained by Emma&#039;s Grandma Zoe Wilson, because, after all, Emma was still useful to them.<br /> <br /> &quot;Enough! Since she&#039;s okay, let&#039;s just go home and stop making a scene,&quot; Zoe commanded harshly, but with a disdainful glance at Emma, she thought, &#039;This crude girl still has her uses. Can&#039;t afford to pick fights with money.&#039;<br /> <br /> This reminder refocused the Wilsons on the real reason they had brought Emma back.<br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Soon, they headed back to the villa.<br /> <br /> Emma knew exactly what was on their minds. In her previous life, the Wilson family&#039;s finances were a mess at this point, and they hoped to solve it through a marriage alliance with Liam, a man rumored to have a disability and an unpredictable mood.<br /> <br /> Mateo and Grandma were gunning for this marriage, but Nora and Aria feared Emma becoming Mrs. Hall might bite them in the ass. So, they schemed to ruin Emma&#039;s reputation, hoping to set Aria up as the bride instead.<br /> <br /> But back then, Liam only had eyes for Emma, completely ignoring Aria.<br /> <br /> Just thinking &quot;Liam Hall&quot; stabbed at Emma&#039;s heart.<br /> <br /> She had rejected the marriage before, seeing it as nothing more than a transaction, particularly after the scandal where she was framed for seducing a doctor.<br /> <br /> After Liam&#039;s parents pulled their support for the marriage, she had left the Wilson family to join a mysterious organization, later to be deceived and manipulated by the relentless Elijah.<br /> <br /> Little did she know, Liam was the one who truly cared. Elijah, with all his schemes, turned out to be the real nightmare.<br /> <br /> As Emma was caught in her memories, Zoe suddenly switched her approach and started plotting.<br /> <br /> &quot;Emma, though we&#039;ve been estranged for years, you&#039;re still a Wilson. Our family is in trouble, and you can&#039;t just turn your back on us, right?&quot; Zoe said, feigning concern.<br /> <br /> Emma leaned back on the sofa with a wry smile, already used to her family&#039;s . She listened quietly, waiting to hear more.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah, Liam Hall, the eldest son of the prestigious Hall family, just lost his legs in an accident. But damn, he&#039;s still a catchโ€”handsome and super capable. Most importantly, he&#039;s the Hall family&#039;s heir!&quot; Zoe&#039;s eyes sparkled as she raved about the Hall family. &quot;The Hall family? They make our Wilsons look like peanuts! You, raised in the sticks and hardly educatedโ€”landing a guy like him would be the break of a lifetime! We&#039;ll even give you 40 thousand dollars as a gift. Just imagine how thrilled you&#039;ll be!&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma tapped the armrest of the sofa and shot back, &quot;Grandma, aren&#039;t we forgetting something? Didn&#039;t the Halls mention they&#039;d fork over 10 million dollars if I married into their family? And you&#039;re offering me just 40 thousand dollars? You think I&#039;m stupid or what?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her words left the entire Wilson family dumbfounded. They had figured a simple country girl like Emma would be over the moon about 40 thousand dollars. They never expected her to call them out.<br /> <br /> &quot;Emma, so what exactly are you asking for?&quot; Zoe asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.<br /> <br /> &quot;I want exactly 2 million dollarsโ€”the money Mom left for me. Plus, that 10 million dollars from Liam is going straight into my shares in the company. From today, the Wilson Group is co-owned by me and Liamโ€”nothing to do with the rest of the Wilsons,&quot; Emma stated firmly.<br /> <br /> Zoe was so enraged she nearly fainted.<br /> <br /> Mateo&#039;s face turned beet-red as he banged on the table. &quot;2 million dollars? That&#039;s supposed to fund your sister&#039;s college abroad! What kind of sister are you?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nora piped up anxiously, &quot;Emma, Aria has always been top of her class! It&#039;d be a shame if she didn&#039;t get to study abroad!&quot;<br /> <br /> Aria was clearly distressed, but Emma remained ice-cold.<br /> <br /> &#039;Oh, that&#039;s funny,&#039; she thought bitterly. &#039;Selling off the eldest daughter to settle debts while the family&#039;s nearly bankrupt, yet somehow there&#039;s 2 million dollars to send the younger one abroad to live it up. What a damn hypocritical and biased mess. Why the hell was I ever polite to these assholes in my past life?&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t screw this up, Dad. That 2 million dollars is my inheritance from Mom,&quot; Emma stated, slow but forceful. &quot;Aria should be using her own parents&#039; money. If her dad&#039;s broke and her mom can&#039;t make a dime, then she needs to earn her own keep. Why the hell should she live off my mom&#039;s money?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nora, feigning shock, interjected, &quot;Emma, how can you talk like that? She&#039;s your family, for god&#039;s sake!&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma scoffed coldly. &quot;No, she&#039;s not my family. I&#039;m my mother&#039;s child. Aria? She&#039;s just a bastard.&quot;<br /> <br /> Overcome with anger, Mateo raised his hand to strike her face.<br /> <br /> However, Emma quickly blocked it, standing tall and firm. &quot;Just because you&#039;re my dad, Mateo, doesn&#039;t give you the right to hit me like I&#039;m some dog! Marriage is my damn choice! If you guys can&#039;t deal with that, then I won&#039;t marry at all! Let&#039;s all just watch the Wilson family go down together. Let&#039;s see how that goes for everyone!&quot;<br /> <br /> Emma&#039;s defiant stance caught the entire Wilson family off guard. They had thought that having grown up in the countryside and being summoned to acknowledge her lineage, Emma would obediently comply. They never expected her to stand her ground and demand 2 million dollars.<br /> <br /> In her past life, Emma hadn&#039;t discovered the 2 million dollars her mother left until moments before her death in a fire, when Aria finally told her the truth. By then, it was too late to avenge her mother or save herself.<br /> <br /> This time around, she swore she wouldn&#039;t let such atrocities slide.<br /> <br /> Sensing the tension rising, Nora quickly intervened, &quot;Actually, there are specific conditions in the will to access that money.&quot; LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/un2vhapfc3pxs 108358222370640 LeReader-brilliant Novel https://facebook.com/61552740297935 461 1 1,180,344,019,851,477 2024-07-20 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 1 0 Learn more 0 LeReader-brilliant Novel 120212131843510191 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/un2vhapfc3pxshavthkrarkr?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120212131841660191&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-07-20 04:02 https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452168113_1036405494655500_304399910000813437_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=0T1U0_z8kCIQ7kNvgFWcn67&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AYDkkuPiL9O7Ins-oVivxXVn4AAfGbnGYxN0_B4PvM5zxw&oe=66A1CEA6 person_profile 0 LeReader-brilliant Novel https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452207425_1124069761989576_6943530257418262271_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=OvhecYkb6FsQ7kNvgHCbPmK&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AYBX3ltn4hhccxu_Zc8qdfJF3j-tO05sxZoOX4bcu_vGKQ&oe=66A1FD1E 0 3 LeReader-brilliant Novel 0 0 2024-07-20 02:00 View Edit

Yes 2024-07-20 14:54 active 1151 0 320081681168959 Continue reading๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰ When his first love got hurt, he left his pregnant wife. His wife left behind a divorce agreement stating: &quot;I never want to see you again!&quot;<br /> =============<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Ex-girlfriend Returns<br /> <br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment. <br /> <br /> All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor&#039;s words. &quot;Congratulations! You are going to be a mom.&quot;<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. &quot;Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel&#039;s grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather&#039;s dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn&#039;t been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn&#039;t learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโ€™s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t wait up for me. Good night,&quot; he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, &quot;It&#039;s already so late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, &quot;Be good, okay? There&#039;s something I have to do. Don&#039;t wait up.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> &quot;What&#039;s the matter?&quot;<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, &quot;I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> &quot;Let&#039;s talk about it tomorrow, okay?&quot; Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan&#039;s mind. She couldn&#039;t sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn&#039;t interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, &quot;Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man&#039;s figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan&#039;s gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel&#039;s number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> &quot;Hello!&quot;<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman&#039;s voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president&#039;s office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn&#039;t help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan&#039;s colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel&#039;s office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn&#039;t sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn&#039;t be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president&#039;s office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man&#039;s voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> &quot;Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?&quot;<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean exactly?&quot; Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know exactly what I mean!&quot; Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, &quot;I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn&#039;t she your type?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you want me to hand her over to you?&quot; Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know what, forget it!&quot;<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan&#039;s ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis&#039;s voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> &quot;By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren&#039;s mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her.&quot;<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. &quot;As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two...&quot;<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan&#039;s head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. &quot;Hey, Mr. Stevens!&quot;<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn&#039;t the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, &quot;Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, &quot;Do you think she heard us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn&#039;t paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn&#039;t work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel&#039;s true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;And who is that?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, my! You don&#039;t know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she&#039;s the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She&#039;s his first love!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Why is her return such a big deal? Isn&#039;t it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan? She&#039;s nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She&#039;s not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she&#039;s already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!&quot;<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> &quot;Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel&#039;s cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, &quot;Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. &quot;Maybe itโ€™s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, &quot;Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s retort made Tessa&#039;s face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. &quot;What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?&quot;<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, &quot;What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don&#039;t know you are just an orphan? The nerve of...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโ€™s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, &quot;You... You pushed me? How dare you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, &quot;Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness.&quot;<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn&#039;t mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa&#039;s face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel&#039;s cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa&#039;s wrist so that the latter couldn&#039;t move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, &quot;How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?&quot;<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> &quot;That&#039;s enough!&quot;<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel?&quot; Tessa&#039;s blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. &quot;Mitchel, she bullied me.&quot;<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel&#039;s handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, &quot;Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?&quot;<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan&#039;s breathing cease. She couldn&#039;t believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn&#039;t a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel&#039;s rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. &quot;Humph! Don&#039;t think you&#039;ll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don&#039;t buy...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you&#039;d excuse me,&quot; Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa&#039;s face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn&#039;t appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan&#039;s direction, Tessa shouted, &quot;Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she&#039;s still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan&#039;s thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> &quot;Enough!&quot; he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn&#039;t think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn&#039;t care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, &quot;Next time, I&#039;ll get someone to teach her a lesson.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tessa!&quot; Mitchel&#039;s tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, &quot;I&#039;ll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone.&quot;<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, &quot;Ok... Okay, got it...&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. &quot;Irrelevant people wouldn&#039;t be allowed in here from today onwards.&quot;<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. &quot;Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. &quot;Ms. Lloyd, this way, please.&quot;<br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, &quot;Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel&#039;s eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn&#039;t even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn&#039;t aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver&#039;s side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan&#039;s face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let&#039;s Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, &quot;Ma&#039;am, where to?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn&#039;t want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, &quot;Please take me to Crystal Bay.&quot;<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn&#039;t that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn&#039;t move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn&#039;t she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> &quot;Why didn&#039;t you answer the phone?&quot; he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn&#039;t slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn&#039;t find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would&#039;ve thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, &quot;I didn&#039;t hear it ring.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, &quot;I&#039;ve been looking for you for two hours.&quot;<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn&#039;t find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> &quot;Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let&#039;s go home now.&quot; After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn&#039;t taken a single step. He frowned and asked, &quot;Can&#039;t you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, &quot;Let&#039;s divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> &quot;I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> &quot;We will be strangers?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. &quot;Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?&quot;<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn&#039;t let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn&#039;t be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don&#039;t have to come here again.&quot;<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn&#039;t help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, &quot;If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No, this isn&#039;t about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now.&quot;<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn&#039;t come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> &quot;Stop this, will you?&quot;<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> &quot;You have a fever?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, &quot;Where do you think you are going?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, &quot;What are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What does it look like I am doing?&quot; Mitchel remarked. &quot;Taking you to the hospital, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No way!&quot; Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel&#039;s arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor,&quot; Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan&#039;s heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> &quot;Put me down! I don&#039;t want to go to the hospital!&quot;<br /> &amp;3&amp; LEARN_MORE https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-e 103342509449560 Heat novel -F https://facebook.com/100092698493742 1,642 1 2,049,462,745,514,246 2024-07-20 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 1 0 Learn more 0 Heat novel -F 120213608155700427 fbweb.moboreader.net NONE image https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-enj57-1125-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=170159&accid=1129071448434125 2024-07-20 05:18 https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452140480_765193972357442_4183845583730900435_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=rNxNDJisZ4QQ7kNvgHW2FLZ&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AYBYPH_w-L_m62Lg_fLKF6og6Fys6rpqFr6_Q08bRLeFVQ&oe=66A1FAB9 person_profile 0 moboreader https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452258152_1467331297489484_3835075765532340534_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=SqvudatpqrcQ7kNvgGdgCX-&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AYBvkQ3xQxpMTmyfVZqiZl2DUTzuGDKhNdHxtDfuB7_lfw&oe=66A1ED3A 0 3 Heat novel -F 0 0 2024-07-20 02:00 View Edit

She was donned in a figure-hugging dress with curves in all the right places, sporting a well-defined waist and a pair of striking features.<br /> <br /> &quot;And you are?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Your fiancรฉe, president of Zen Byte, Jennifer Hawkins!&quot;<br /> <br /> My fiancรฉe?<br /> <br /> Daniel remembered that the old man had indeed mentioned he arranged a marriage for him.<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you here to marry me?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Me? Marry you? You country bumpkin! You&#039;re broke, and let&#039;s face it, not a looker. What makes you think you can afford me? My shoes alone cost three grand! A dress goes for five! I splurge more than a hundred thousand a month on makeup and beauty treatments. Can you handle that?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Nope, can&#039;t afford it. And I never had any plans of footing your insane bills.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, not prepared, are you? Can&#039;t handle it? Listen, I&#039;m here to call this travesty off. Gimme the contract so we can be done with each other for good.&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel retrieved a box the old man had left for him, unlocking with a growing sense of dread. The old man had mentioned a marriage contract alright, but he hadn&#039;t mentioned there were this many...<br /> <br /> Inside the box were a total of nine marriage contracts. Daniel went through them one by one, indeed finding one that belonged to Jennifer.<br /> <br /> He pulled it out and handed it over to her.<br /> <br /> Jennifer cursed under her breath upon seeing the stack in Daniel&#039;s hands. She then snatched her contract and shredded it mercilessly, tossing the pieces to the wind.<br /> <br /> &quot;Done. Our agreement is void. We have nothing to do with each other now!&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, Jennifer stomped away in her high heels, her anger echoing with each step.<br /> <br /> No sooner had she left did Daniel feel a surge of heat in his throat, spitting out blood.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ugh...&quot;<br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t the broken engagement that made him bleed but a failing dragon seal within him. If he couldn&#039;t find the legendary Dragon Seal Grass within a year, the seal would break and he&#039;d be dead.<br /> <br /> He had to move, and fast.<br /> <br /> Time was ticking and Daniel needed to find the Dragon Seal Grass, hopefully to cancel the other unexpected contracts along the way.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> The iron beast roared down the runway as a sweet voice chimed in from the airplane&#039;s speaker system.<br /> <br /> &quot;We&#039;re about to land in Leo Bark. Please prepare for disembarkation...&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel had been meditating throughout the flight to suppress the seal. As the plane slowed to a stop, he stretched and got ready to deboard. Suddenly, his Seven Dragons Ring slipped off his neck and rolled away under a seat.<br /> <br /> Bending down to retrieve it, a piercing shriek startled him.<br /> <br /> In front of Daniel were a pair of long, shapely legs. Dazzled by an unexpected flash of light, he looked up.<br /> <br /> Click! Click!<br /> <br /> Jennifer was snapping photos with her phone, snapping away at what she called a &#039;pervert&#039; below.<br /> <br /> After saving the incriminating shots, she realized the man at her feet was Daniel.<br /> <br /> &quot;Is it you? What are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Nothing, just picking up my ring,&quot; Daniel replied.<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you expect me to believe that? You, a filthy rogue! Are you stalking me because I called off the engagement? Let me tell you, this is harassment!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You? Not interested! Harass you? Even less interested!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Not interested? You deliberately dropped that stupid ring near my feet. Don&#039;t pretend I don&#039;t know what you&#039;re up to!&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel pocketed the Seven Dragons Ring without a word and walked away.<br /> <br /> &quot;Stop right there!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What now?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This is the last time I&#039;m saying thisโ€”never let anyone know we were engaged. I can&#039;t stand the shame! And don&#039;t you dare show your face around me again. If you harass me, I&#039;ll call the cops. With those photos, they&#039;ll have all they need to put you behind bars.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Boring.&quot;<br /> <br /> Outside the airport, Daniel walked past Jennifer, carrying her trendy LV bag.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why are you following me?&quot;<br /> <br /> Turning around, he replied with slight frustration, &quot;I&#039;m ahead; youโ€™re behind. It&#039;s the other way around.&quot;<br /> <br /> Then, a sleek two-tone Rolls-Royce pulled up, and a distinguished elderly gentleman stepped out.<br /> <br /> Jennifer&#039;s heart skipped a beat. David?<br /> <br /> She recognized the car plateโ€”it was one of The Matthews&#039; cars, and the man was their butler, David Wagner!<br /> <br /> Zen Byte had worked so hard to be noticed by The Matthews Organization, now on their shortlist for partnership. The final selection was due next week.<br /> <br /> David approached Jennifer, completely ignoring her fawning introduction, and she was left talking to thin air. But soon, David was bowing deeply to Daniel, a man she had written off as a loser.<br /> <br /> Confused, Jennifer lingered close by to eavesdrop.<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you the venerable Mr. Daniel Perkins?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, &#039;venerable&#039; is a stretch, but yes, I&#039;m Daniel. Who are you?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m David, The Matthews&#039; butler. Miss Jessica sent me. She&#039;s your fiancรฉe, waiting at home.&quot;<br /> <br /> With an invitation from The Matthews, Daniel was swept away, leaving Jennifer standing alone, dumbfounded.<br /> Chapter 2 I&#039;m the Fool<br /> <br /> <br /> Jennifer stood frozen, her face sprayed with exhaust fumes and her expensive attire covered in the dust kicked up by the car&#039;s wheels. Her thirty thousand dollar heels and fifty thousand dollar dress were now no better than second-hand bargains. The pricey makeup on her face had been touched by the dust, and she looked no better than a homeless wanderer. But above all, she was utterly stunned by the conversation she had overheard.<br /> <br /> Jessica was Daniel&#039;s fiancรฉe?<br /> Jessica had sent David to pick him up?<br /> And she referred to him as the honorable Mr. Daniel Perkins?<br /> He was just a country bumpkin, a loathsome toadโ€”honorable Mr. Daniel Perkins my foot! He was nothing but a con artist, a greedy, lecherous loser!<br /> Thereโ€™s no way Jessica was going to marry him. She must be planning to cancel the wedding, just like Jennifer wanted to.<br /> This mess was all that loser&#039;s fault. She had to make him pay!<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce pulled into the lavish estate belonging to The Matthews, a villa complex spanning thousands of square meters, with pavilions, murmuring streams, lush greenery, and birds chirping amongst the flowers.<br /> Every step revealed a scene more breathtaking than the lastโ€”it was a Wonderland in the heart of New York City, exclusively for the prominent Matthews family.<br /> <br /> Daniel was ushered into the living room where David served him a cup of top-notch coffee before leaving.<br /> <br /> Click-clack, click-clack! The elegant rhythm of high heels on the floor announced the arrival of a stunning beauty. Words could only defile her enchanting presence. This was Jessica Matthews, the eldest daughter of The Matthews family, president of The Matthews Organization (TMO), and New York&#039;s number one beauty!<br /> At just one glance, Daniel was spellbound.<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you Daniel, my fiancรฉ?&quot;<br /> &quot;Err... yes.&quot; Daniel snapped back to reality.<br /> <br /> Daniel, having already been dumped once, eagerly fetched the marriage contract and handed it to Jessica.<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;ve come to call off the marriage, right? Here&#039;s the contract. From now on, we&#039;re strangers. Don&#039;t worry, I won&#039;t appear before you again, nor will I tell anyone you were once my fiancรฉe.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;When did I say I wanted to cancel it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re not canceling?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This contract was drawn up by my grandfather, and I honor his decision. I will marry you. We&#039;ll register our marriage tomorrow, but before that, I have some conditions.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What conditions?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Iโ€™m marrying you solely because of this contract, not out of love, so no wedding ceremony. You canโ€™t tell anyone weโ€™re married. Publicly, you are my assistant, not my husband. Plus, I&#039;m giving you a year as a trial period. If you can make me fall in love with you, we&#039;ll have a real ceremony and be true husband and wife. If I still feel nothing after a year, we&#039;ll divorce. One more thing, if we do become a true couple, I have a gift for you. It&#039;s an unsightly, wilted herb called the Dragon Seal Grass.&quot;<br /> <br /> The Dragon Seal Grass?<br /> <br /> Daniel&#039;s heart leaped with excitement.<br /> <br /> &quot;Uh, if after a year you still don&#039;t fancy me, can I keep the Dragon Seal Grass as a memento? You said it was ugly and wilty, so itโ€™s probably not worth much. Just as a keepsake.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No way! That&#039;s a gift for the man who truly wins my heart!&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel: ...<br /> <br /> Just then, Jessica&#039;s phone rang.<br /> <br /> &quot;What? I&#039;m on my way!&quot;<br /> <br /> Hanging up, she turned to Daniel, &quot;My grandfather&#039;s critically ill. We need to go to the hospital now.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Okay!&quot;<br /> <br /> Clutching his dusty plastic bag as if it were a treasure, Daniel hurried after her.<br /> <br /> &quot;Why are you carrying that? No one&#039;s going to steal it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It might come in handy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Speechless but too preoccupied to care, Jessica left it at that.<br /> <br /> At the hospital&#039;s emergency room, Jessica&#039;s secretary, Brittany Cunningham, paced anxiously.<br /> <br /> As Jessica and Daniel arrived, the emergency room doors burst open, and the doctors emerged.<br /> <br /> &quot;Michael, how is my grandfather?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We&#039;ve tried everything, but he&#039;s beyond our help. However, there&#039;s still a breath of life in him. If you can get The Great Stephens here, perhaps there&#039;s hope.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The Great Stephens?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;He&#039;s the one who can snatch lives from the hands of death, The Great Stephensโ€”Christopher Stephens! He&#039;s New York&#039;s number one mystical doctor, but heโ€™s been resting for a long time. It&#039;s going to be very difficult to persuade him to act.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Michael finished speaking...<br /> <br /> &quot;Mr. Christopher is here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Andrew Armstrong walked in with an elderly gentlemanโ€”the renowned Christopher. An Easterner whose arrival date in New York was unknown, people were only aware of his miraculous healing techniques. Christopher&#039;s methods had never failed.<br /> <br /> He approached the bed, lifted Joseph&#039;s eyelids, and checked his pulse.<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher, how is my grandfather?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The situation is grave. Only my ancestral Nine Dry Needling technique stands a chance. Not even gods could save him otherwise.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Please, Master Christopher, save my grandfather, and The Matthews will repay you generously.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Miss Jessica, I&#039;m here at Mr. Andrewโ€™s request, so saving your grandfather is up to him.&quot;<br /> <br /> Andrew stepped forward, arrogantly bargaining, &quot;Jessica, you know what I want. Agree to marry me, and Master Christopher will save your grandfather. If you refuse, he won&#039;t lift a finger, and your grandfather will meet his end. Remember, he is The Matthews&#039; world, and if anything were to happen to him, The Matthews would be finished.&quot;<br /> Chapter 3 Joseph Died<br /> <br /> &quot;Andrew, do you have to be so despicably shameless?&quot; Jessica retorted with disdain.<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;ve tried to woo you fairly and squarely! Iโ€™ve sent you roses, bags, and whatnot! But you wouldnโ€™t even give me the chance to take you out for dinner or see a movie. Now, your grandfather&#039;s life hangs in my hands. It&#039;s your choice whether he lives or dies.&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel stepped forward, assuredly telling Jessica, &quot;I can save your grandfather&#039;s life.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You can save him? Who let this idiot in here? Didn&#039;t you know that this area is off-limits to outsiders? Get out of here, now!&quot; Brittany, who had not noticed Daniel before and was unaware he was brought by Jessica, mistakenly thought he was trouble.<br /> <br /> &quot;He&#039;s my newly hired assistant, Daniel,&quot; Jessica clarified.<br /> <br /> A new assistant? It clicked in Brittany&#039;s mind, and she scolded Daniel, &quot;Are you trying to impress Ma&#039;am Jessica by saying such nonsensical things? Even if you want to show off, you should at least know what youโ€™re doing! If Michael has no solution, what can you do? You&#039;re not even a doctor! Only Master Christopher can save the chairman now.&quot;<br /> <br /> Daniel ignored Brittany and seriously said to Jessica, &quot;I&#039;m absolutely confident that I can bring your grandfather back.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Shut up!&quot; yelled Jessica, who clearly didnโ€™t believe Daniel. If even Michael said it was hopeless, how could this young man possibly save him? Her grandfather couldn&#039;t die!<br /> <br /> Gritting her teeth, Jessica told Andrew, &quot;If Master Christopher can save my grandfather, I will agree to marry you!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Great! That&#039;s more like it!&quot; A triumphantly smug smile spread across Andrew&#039;s face.<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher, I&#039;m counting on you. Save him, and whatever I promised you before, I&#039;ll double it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I seldom intervene, but when I do, I can snatch life from the jaws of death! I will save Mr. Joseph for Mr. Andrew!&quot; Christopher proclaimed.<br /> <br /> His assistant brought a sandalwood box, which sprang open with a loud bang, emitting a golden glow. Inside were nine radiant needles, each with a meticulously carved kirinโ€”a creature of great mystical power in Eastern legendsโ€”on the tip.<br /> <br /> Christopher&#039;s hands, more delicate than a woman&#039;s and as pure as white jade, passed slowly over the needles, causing them to stand erect and buzz softly in the box. This magical display astonished everyone present.<br /> <br /> &quot;Wow! He didn&#039;t even touch the needles and they stood up. Master Christopher is incredible!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;That&#039;s called &#039;energy needle control&#039;, a divine skill. Master Yin was a famous healer 30 years ago, and now he&#039;s a deity!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Of course, he&#039;s a god; otherwise, how could he save people from death itself?&quot;<br /> <br /> Amid the praise, Christopher waved his hand, and the nine needles zoomed into the air above Joseph, circling like eagles.<br /> <br /> &quot;With the first needle, Ascending, rest the soul and steady the body!&quot; He uttered a chant as a needle whizzed down, striking precisely into Josephโ€™s Ascending acupoint. As soon as the needle pierced the skin, Joseph&#039;s pallid visage regained some color.<br /> <br /> Brittany turned to Jessica, excitement in her voice. &quot;Ma&#039;am Jessica, look! The chairman can be saved. With just one needle, Master Christopher has restored your father&#039;s complexion.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Quiet.&quot;<br /> <br /> From the first needle, it seemed Christopher genuinely had skills that warranted the title of a divine healer. However, Daniel was unimpressed because he had already diagnosed the true cause of Joseph&#039;s ailment, knowing that Christopher&#039;s diagnosis was incorrect.<br /> <br /> The first needle targeted the Ascending, and Daniel knew the second would inevitably be the Spirit Ruins, followed by Noble Palace, then Godโ€™s Place. These are critical points in Eastern medicine that, with the right techniques, can save or harm a person. Once the needle hits Godโ€™s Place, Joseph would certainly face deathโ€”a false death, to be precise, from which there would be only fifteen minutes to recover. Any longer, and it would be too late; even Daniel wouldn&#039;t be able to do anything.<br /> <br /> &quot;The second is Spirit Ruins, to replenish blood and essence,&quot; declared Christopher as Joseph&#039;s cracked lips regained moisture.<br /> <br /> &quot;The third is Noble Palace, to revitalize the body.&quot; Joseph&#039;s fingertips twitched ever so slightly.<br /> <br /> &quot;The fourth is Godโ€™s Place, to reignite the spirit and continue life!&quot; Upon the fourth needle&#039;s entry, Joseph suddenly sat upright on his bed. His body seemed stiff, and his eyes lifeless, but the medical equipment showed his vitals rapidly returning to normal.<br /> <br /> Christopher froze, bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. He had revived Joseph with just four needles, something even he found unbelievable. However, the result was what mattered, and he just assumed his medical skills had improved.<br /> <br /> &quot;With four needles to save, five will beckon the return!&quot; The remaining five needles suspended in the air shot back into their sandalwood box.<br /> <br /> Joseph laid back down, the medical monitors steadying but still slowly improvingโ€”proof his condition was stabilizing.<br /> <br /> Christopher put away the needles and congratulated Jessica, &quot;Miss Jessica, I&#039;ve brought your grandfather back. Iโ€™ve facilitated your good fortune with Mr. Andrew. You two better invite me as your matchmaker to toast at your wedding!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You haven&#039;t saved him; you&#039;ve killed him. This is just a glaring sign before death. In less than half a minute, Mr. Joseph will be gone,&quot; Daniel stated, incensing the newly relieved Jessica.<br /> <br /> Her grandfather had barely been saved, and this scoundrel claimed he was mortally doomed!<br /> <br /> &quot;Y-you&#039;re the one dying!&quot; Jessica cursed.<br /> <br /> The monitors beeped rapidly, and suddenly, all the readings dropped to zero.<br /> <br /> Joseph was dead?<br /> Chapter 4 He Caused Your Grandfather&#039;s Death<br /> <br /> Christopher was in shock, hurriedly lifting Joseph&#039;s eyelids, checking his pulse, and testing for breaths. Finally, he collapsed into a companion chair. It was trueโ€”Joseph was dead.<br /> <br /> Jessica couldn&#039;t and wouldn&#039;t accept it.<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher, you saved my grandfather, didn&#039;t you?&quot; she stammered.<br /> <br /> At a loss for words and quickly gathering his composure, Christopher, renowned as New York&#039;s foremost mysterious healer, couldn&#039;t let his reputation crumble. So, he pointed an accusatory finger at Daniel. &quot;It is he! This country fool with his words has killed your grandfather.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher, that&#039;s a foolish lie, isn&#039;t it? Do you think Ma&#039;am Jessica is naive enough to believe such nonsense?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I am New York&#039;s leading doctor. How could I lie? When I say your words killed Mr. Joseph, I am not speaking without reason.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, and what&#039;s your theory then?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Mr. Joseph had indeed been brought back by me, only needing to rest peacefully on the bed before waking up. Just as he was about to awake, you cursed him to death, making his subconscious believe he had indeed died. So, you are to blame for Mr. Josephโ€™s death!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you certain Mr. Joseph is truly dead?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Pulse ceased, no breath, he is dead!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;He is not dead; heโ€™s alive.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jessica&#039;s eyes, clouded with despair, flickered with a glimmer of hope at Daniel&#039;s assertion. &quot;You claim my granddad isn&#039;t dead?&quot;<br /> <br /> Brittany couldn&#039;t stand it any longer, and she launched into a fiery rebuke at Daniel: &quot;You fool, shut your mouth! When the chairman was alive, you claimed he was dead. Now that he is dead, you say he&#039;s alive? Do you think acting like a clown, deceiving people here, will show how unique you are or impress Ma&#039;am Jessica?&quot;<br /> <br /> Christopher, while not hoping for Joseph&#039;s death, knew his own theory sounded a stretch. After another round of examination and use of various medical instruments, he and Michael drew the same conclusion: Joseph was dead.<br /> <br /> Daniel pulled from his plastic bag a rust-stained iron box, no bigger than a matchbox, containing seven dull needlesโ€”the Dragon Needles bequeathed to him by the old man.<br /> <br /> Seeing Daniel wield those lackluster needles as if ready to jab them into Joseph, Brittany was shocked! Recovering, she raised her voice to stop him, &quot;What are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m saving a life!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Saving? Master Christopher couldn&#039;t revive him even with The Kirin Needle. You think you can save lives with those needles, you picked up from the trash? They are dirty and grimy; how dare you use them on the chairman?&quot;<br /> <br /> Andrew chimed in with a mocking sneer, &quot;What&#039;s he saving? He just became an assistant and wants to shine! Since Mr. Joseph is already dead, it doesn&#039;t matter if he pokes around with needles. There&#039;s no blame if it doesn&#039;t work. And if he somehow revives Mr. Joseph, that would be a great feat!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;There are no ifs! Mr. Joseph is dead, and nobody can save him! If just anybody could poke him awake with random needles, what would be the need for doctors?&quot; Christopher stated with supreme confidence.<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher is right, Mr. Joseph is dead, and he can&#039;t be saved. Iโ€™ve had doctors check his body with the hospital&#039;s most advanced equipment. He&#039;s not just without heartbeat or breathโ€”every organ has ceased functioningโ€”he&#039;s completely dead,&quot; Michael made his final verdict!<br /> <br /> Christopher and Michaelโ€™s pronouncements solidified Brittany&#039;s belief that Daniel was creating a scene. She pointed at the door and bellowed at him, &quot;Get out of here, now!&quot;<br /> <br /> Of course, Daniel wouldn&#039;t budge; he turned to Jessica and spoke earnestly, &quot;Your grandfather has five more minutes! If I don&#039;t administer the first needle within that time, he truly is dead. Not even gods can save him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Master Christopher couldnโ€™t save him, and you could?&quot; Jessica was skeptical.<br /> <br /> &quot;Absolutely!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Absolute nonsense! He&#039;s a bluffer, trying to earn brownie points by bragging here. Don&#039;t you believe him, Ma&#039;am Jessica, he&#039;s trying to hurt the chairman!&quot; Brittany passionately warned Jessica not to be foolish while pushing Daniel toward the door.<br /> <br /> Daniel stood firm, unaffected by Brittany&#039;s shoving. He turned to Jessica, offering her one last chance to choose, &quot;Ma&#039;am Jessica, you gave me a one-year probation period. If I can&#039;t save your grandfather, you can fire me on the spot!&quot;<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 The Poor Relative<br /> <br /> A one-year probation period? Don&#039;t they usually last only three months? Brittany pondered inwardly. At last, it dawned on her: this guy must be one of Ma&#039;am Jessica&#039;s poor relatives. Jessica didn&#039;t actually like the fellow, but to not to turn down a relative&#039;s request, she set a one-year probationโ€”she didn&#039;t intend to keep him around!<br /> <br /> Jessica, however, was considering the marital contract set by her grandfather. If he couldn&#039;t be saved, was she expected to continue this trial marriage with this man for a year? It felt like a loss. Michael and Master Christopher had both declared her grandfather beyond saving. So, letting this guy have a try wouldn&#039;t hurtโ€”after all, he himself said if he couldn&#039;t save her grandfather, he would leave immediately.<br /> <br /> &quot;Go ahead,&quot; Jessica consented with a nod.<br /> <br /> Brittany wouldn&#039;t dare go against Jessica&#039;s wishes, but she still suspected Daniel&#039;s motives. Pointing a finger right at his nose, she said, &quot;If there&#039;s no reaction after your first needle, you stop immediately and get out!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Okay.&quot; Daniel agreed and proceeded to insert the first needle, leaving everyone dumbstruck.<br /> <br /> That black and unimpressive needle was placed on the tip of Joseph&#039;s nose.<br /> <br /> &quot;There&#039;s no acupoint on the nose tip! You&#039;re just poking randomly! You are disrespecting the body!&quot; criticized Christopher disdainfully.<br /> <br /> Beep! Beep, beep! The monitor came back to life, the previously zeroed numbers now changing, albeit faintly. Hope reignited in the hearts of all present, especially in Jessica&#039;s.<br /> <br /> &quot;Is granddad alive?&quot; she asked Daniel expectantly.<br /> <br /> &quot;Yeah.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yeah right! He&#039;s just poking around. Maybe he&#039;s hit a nerve by pure luck, causing some reflex. He hasn&#039;t truly brought anyone back to life,&quot; Brittany blurted out, refusing to believe that a mere poke on the nose could save Joseph.<br /> <br /> Amid the disbelief, the monitor showed greater fluctuations. Joseph&#039;s face color started returning, and his fingertips twitched slightly. Jessica, ready to scold Daniel, swallowed back her words at the sight.<br /> <br /> Christopher was stupefied. Despite studying extraordinary acupuncture skills in the East, he had never heard of a technique involving a needle in the eyeโ€”that would just burst the eyeball! Yet, not only did Joseph seem fine, but his vitals were also improving.<br /> <br /> Were the signs from the monitors and Joseph&#039;s body telling them he was really being revived?<br /> <br /> &quot;Has granddad come back to life?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yeah,&quot; Daniel affirmed once again.<br /> <br /> Brittany was speechless. Though she did not believe Daniel had revived Joseph, the undeniable evidence was right before her eyes. Both the remarkable changes in Joseph&#039;s body and the data on the monitors could attest that Daniel had indeed brought him back to life.<br /> <br /> &quot;It&#039;s just a momentary recovery before death,&quot; Christopher insisted, adamantly disbelieving even the iron-clad evidence before him. How could a man he failed to save be revived by this unknown individual? Should word of this get out, his reputation would be utterly destroyed. Joseph could not be revived; he had to die!<br /> <br /> Daniel quickened his pace. After seven needles, Joseph&#039;s face color had almost fully returned, and the monitor showed his vitals nearly back to normal. But still, Joseph remained unconscious, not yet awakened.<br /> <br /> Seeing Daniel remove all seven needles and return them to the little iron box, Jessica asked urgently, &quot;Is granddad really alive?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Of course!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Of course, nothing! This is just the final flickers of life; soon, those numbers will return to zero,&quot; Andrew scoffed, disbelieving Joseph&#039;s revival. &quot;If he&#039;s truly alive, why hasn&#039;t Mr. Joseph woken up? Why hasn&#039;t he opened his eyes? When Master Christopher was treating him, Mr. Joseph at least sat up. All your fiddling has done is make his fingers twitch; he can&#039;t even sit up.&quot;<br /> <br /> Andrew&#039;s words stirred Jessica&#039;s anxiety once more. She had already been through a tumultuous rollercoaster of emotions and wasn&#039;t prepared to endure it a second time.

No 2024-07-20 14:54 active 1151 0 795272022718353 Grow Your Practice And Revenue The Easy Way Want to grow your chiropractic clinic but already feel maxed out? Are you staying late at the office, but still feel behind? Have your profit margins stagnated, despite working harder than ever? I've helped hundreds of chiropractors transform their practice with a scalable team-driven neuropathy program. My unique Neuropathy program will allow you to: โฐGain more time freedom ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธGrow your clinic โค๏ธโ€๐ŸฉนTransform more lives โ€ฆall without hiring more staff, or working longer hours. It is possible to do all of this in a way that feels effortless. How am I so sure? Because Iโ€™ve done it myself. Not only that, I helped grow two of the largest family-based chiropractic clinics in the Southeast US. Iโ€™m Dr. McClimon, a board-certified chiropractor who works with people to reverse their neuropathy naturally. I got to a point in my own business where I felt trapped, I had to figure out a way to delegate and grow, so I developed this program. And now I teach other chiropractors to do the same. My unique system will allow you to build, deliver and scale a team-driven Neuropathy Program in your clinic, in as little as sixty days. Itโ€™s time to stop working all hours with little financial reward. And put a systemized process in place to attract ideal neuropathy patients, build and motivate your team, and maximize your income and impact. Click below to find out how you could transform your clinic in just 60 days.

The situation became unbearable when my mother developed the same problem. <br /> <br /> Desperate, I asked a friend for help, who showed me a revealing video. I learned a simple, natural technique that transformed my feet in just two weeks. I can now walk barefoot on the beach without embarrassment and my granddaughter is also free of the problem.<br /> <br /> It was the answer I needed!

He checked her phone and got floored at the message: Please come tomorrow for another prenatal care checkup!<br /> =============<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Ex-girlfriend Returns<br /> <br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment. <br /> <br /> All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor&#039;s words. &quot;Congratulations! You are going to be a mom.&quot;<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. &quot;Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel&#039;s grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather&#039;s dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn&#039;t been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn&#039;t learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchelโ€™s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t wait up for me. Good night,&quot; he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, &quot;It&#039;s already so late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, &quot;Be good, okay? There&#039;s something I have to do. Don&#039;t wait up.&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> &quot;What&#039;s the matter?&quot;<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, &quot;I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> &quot;Let&#039;s talk about it tomorrow, okay?&quot; Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan&#039;s mind. She couldn&#039;t sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn&#039;t interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, &quot;Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man&#039;s figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan&#039;s gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel&#039;s number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> &quot;Hello!&quot;<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman&#039;s voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president&#039;s office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn&#039;t help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan&#039;s colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel&#039;s office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn&#039;t sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn&#039;t be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president&#039;s office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man&#039;s voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> &quot;Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?&quot;<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean exactly?&quot; Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know exactly what I mean!&quot; Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, &quot;I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn&#039;t she your type?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you want me to hand her over to you?&quot; Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> &quot;You know what, forget it!&quot;<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan&#039;s ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis&#039;s voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> &quot;By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren&#039;s mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her.&quot;<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. &quot;As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two...&quot;<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan&#039;s head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. &quot;Hey, Mr. Stevens!&quot;<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn&#039;t the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, &quot;Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, &quot;Do you think she heard us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn&#039;t paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn&#039;t work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel&#039;s true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> &quot;Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;And who is that?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, my! You don&#039;t know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she&#039;s the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She&#039;s his first love!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Why is her return such a big deal? Isn&#039;t it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Raegan? She&#039;s nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She&#039;s not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she&#039;s already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!&quot;<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> &quot;Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?&quot;<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel&#039;s cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, &quot;Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. &quot;Maybe itโ€™s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, &quot;Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s retort made Tessa&#039;s face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. &quot;What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?&quot;<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, &quot;What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don&#039;t know you are just an orphan? The nerve of...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raeganโ€™s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, &quot;You... You pushed me? How dare you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, &quot;Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness.&quot;<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn&#039;t mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa&#039;s face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel&#039;s cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa&#039;s wrist so that the latter couldn&#039;t move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, &quot;How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?&quot;<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> &quot;That&#039;s enough!&quot;<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> &quot;Mitchel?&quot; Tessa&#039;s blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. &quot;Mitchel, she bullied me.&quot;<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel&#039;s handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, &quot;Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?&quot;<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan&#039;s breathing cease. She couldn&#039;t believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn&#039;t a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel&#039;s rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. &quot;Humph! Don&#039;t think you&#039;ll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don&#039;t buy...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you&#039;d excuse me,&quot; Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot;<br /> <br /> Tessa&#039;s face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn&#039;t appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan&#039;s direction, Tessa shouted, &quot;Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she&#039;s still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan&#039;s thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> &quot;Enough!&quot; he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn&#039;t think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn&#039;t care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, &quot;Next time, I&#039;ll get someone to teach her a lesson.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tessa!&quot; Mitchel&#039;s tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, &quot;I&#039;ll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone.&quot;<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, &quot;Ok... Okay, got it...&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. &quot;Irrelevant people wouldn&#039;t be allowed in here from today onwards.&quot;<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. &quot;Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. &quot;Ms. Lloyd, this way, please.&quot;<br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, &quot;Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel&#039;s eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn&#039;t even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn&#039;t aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel&#039;s. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver&#039;s side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan&#039;s face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let&#039;s Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan&#039;s shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, &quot;Ma&#039;am, where to?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn&#039;t want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, &quot;Please take me to Crystal Bay.&quot;<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn&#039;t that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn&#039;t understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn&#039;t move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn&#039;t she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> &quot;Why didn&#039;t you answer the phone?&quot; he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn&#039;t slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn&#039;t find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would&#039;ve thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, &quot;I didn&#039;t hear it ring.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, &quot;I&#039;ve been looking for you for two hours.&quot;<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn&#039;t find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> &quot;Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let&#039;s go home now.&quot; After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn&#039;t move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn&#039;t taken a single step. He frowned and asked, &quot;Can&#039;t you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, &quot;Let&#039;s divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What do you mean?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel&#039;s voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> &quot;I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> &quot;We will be strangers?&quot;<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. &quot;Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?&quot;<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn&#039;t let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn&#039;t be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, &quot;I&#039;m sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don&#039;t have to come here again.&quot;<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn&#039;t help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, &quot;If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No, this isn&#039;t about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now.&quot;<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn&#039;t come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> &quot;Stop this, will you?&quot;<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> &quot;You have a fever?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, &quot;Where do you think you are going?&quot;<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, &quot;What are you doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What does it look like I am doing?&quot; Mitchel remarked. &quot;Taking you to the hospital, of course.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No way!&quot; Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel&#039;s arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor,&quot; Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan&#039;s heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> &quot;Put me down! I don&#039;t want to go to the hospital!&quot;<br /> <br /> &amp;13&amp; LEARN_MORE https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-e 108744435202789 Novellove read https://facebook.com/100083283215376 6,052 1 405,593,905,843,303 2024-07-20 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 1 0 Learn more 0 Novellove read 120210411462760660 fbweb.moboreader.net NONE image https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-enj57-1125-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=216543&accid=1910509592737470 2024-07-19 23:07 https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452236783_817902643801322_3216114907942075731_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=iWb7r6R5j0sQ7kNvgHoXo_V&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AYD-rNJM1-0cqx8AEoXAjJlu8ICK7G2d26b714S5TPU9fg&oe=66A20201 person_profile 0 moboreader https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/452139267_1935107586905566_7154194447377276663_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=-XosJuxdKesQ7kNvgGXizcJ&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AYDn2-0f0NDZ0r3OtbpZP2B2y2zOEI6aqY8cmtwzijj8vg&oe=66A1D493 0 3 Novellove read 0 0 2024-07-20 02:00 View Edit
