Chapter 305

? ? ? ? ?

His mind was spinning. Had Nicole's father committed suicide?

Panicking, Raegan ran toward the gate, ignoring her bare feet. The gate was closed, the guards inflexible.

“Let me out!” Raegan shouted, but the guards stood their ground.

Then, a loud bang resounded.

The guards turned in alarm.

Raegan had hit her head on the door, her forehead swollen.

"Call Mitchel and tell him I have to go!" he demanded.

The guards, in charge of his safety, could not ignore his plea.

The guards, under strict instructions to ensure Raegan's safety, quickly opened the door upon the knock.

They couldn't risk any more damage being done.

Leaving Serenity Villas after more than ten days, Raegan felt like she was entering a different world.

The guards, with due respect, told her to get into the car, saying: "Mr. Dixon has ordered us to take you to the company."

Raegan, eager to see Nicole, refused: "I need to see my friend."

"Sorry, we can't do that," the guards responded firmly.

Despite her protests, Raegan found herself against the wall.

Reluctantly, he got into the car, planning his next move.

The car ride was smooth and they soon arrived at the company.

With bodyguards following her, Raegan had little room to maneuver.

He found himself waiting in the upstairs lounge.

After what seemed like an eternity, he still hadn't heard from Mitchel.

His anxiety to contact Nicole was almost unbearable.

Taking advantage of a moment when the bodyguards were distracted, Raegan pushed hard on the partition door and entered the CEO's office.

The bodyguards, unprepared and unfamiliar with the place, reacted too slowly to stop her.

By then, Raegan was already inside the CEO's office.

There he not only found Mitchel, but also a woman. They seemed very intimate.

The woman turned around when she heard the commotion.

Raegan's face colored as she recognized the woman.

His voice, filled with deep-rooted hatred, trembled: "Lauren Murray..."

Lauren turned, feigning surprise. “Raegan, what brings you here?” Her tone was calculated, as if she owned the place.

Raegan's eyes, red with emotion, studied Lauren coldly.

Raegan couldn't help but notice Lauren's slightly protruding belly.

As a woman, Raegan recognized the signs of pregnancy, not just weight gain.

Lauren's pale, drawn face made the pregnancy more pronounced.

A wave of fury washed over Raegan. Mitchel had cheated on her the whole time! Lauren's transfer to the psychiatric hospital and Mitchel's supposed revenge for her were nothing more than falsehoods.

Here was Lauren, next to Mitchel. Worse yet, she was pregnant.

“Raegan, I've always wanted to apologize…” Lauren's eyes were brimming with tears. "I was naive and intrusive, always upsetting Mitchel and upsetting you."

His bearing had gone from arrogance to feigned vulnerability.

But Raegan was not impressed at all, her eyes filled with hatred.

Tessa's agonized confession echoed in his mind. Lauren had been the one to orchestrate the murder of her last unborn child.

With icy determination, Raegan punched Lauren in the face.

Lauren staggered, falling against the couch.

“Ouch…” Lauren clutched her belly, wincing in pain.

But Raegan, looking directly at her, saw the truth.

The slap couldn't have caused such a dramatic reaction.

Lauren was playing the victim again, trying to frame Raegan.

Seeing this, Raegan decided to play into Lauren's act, to expose her duplicity.

Approaching Lauren, Raegan asked with mock concern, "Are you okay?"

Lauren, with her lips bitten and her eyes watering against her pale face, looked truly pitiful. However, he seemed unaware of his appearance.

"Why did you hit me as soon as I came in?" Lauren questioned.

Raegan responded with a smile, “Are you still talking? "Then you must be fine."

The next second, without hesitation, Raegan quickly slapped Lauren, not once, but three more times.

This time, Raegan grabbed Lauren's hand to keep her from falling or overreacting.

“Ah!” Lauren, covering her swollen face with her free hand, burst into tears.

Raegan's voice was laced with sarcasm. You like to play the victim and accuse others falsely, right? "I'm just helping you."

"Raegan, I just apologized for any past offense..."

Ignoring Lauren, Raegan pulled Lauren's hair and slapped her again.

«I'm sorry, I hit you. I apologize to you. Is that what you meant?

Lauren was helpless against the slaps and on the verge of losing her composure. After leaving the psychiatric hospital, his body was very weakened. The stress of pregnancy, especially with an unplanned child, had depleted her of essential nutrients. It took him several days to gather enough strength to recover.

“Raegan, why do you despise me so much? My relationship with Mitchel is not what you think..."

Lauren's voice broke off deliberately, taking on a provocative tone.

It seemed like he was implying that his relationship with Mitchel was exactly what Raegan suspected.

Raegan, grabbing Lauren's hair, slammed Lauren's head against the couch, her gaze icy.

«You know exactly why. You have hurt my son. Did you think I'd let it go?
