However, earlier this morning, thanks to Janeyâs meddling, Raegan had contemplated inviting Mitchel.
Raegan recalled the unpleasant phone call in the morning, and her expression turned impassive.
âBut why him?â Mitchel erupted, his face darkening with jealousy.
The images he had seen had ignited an envy toward Stefan.
He resented Stefan for having the privilege of holding Janey and walking alongside Raegan.
Thankfully, Stefan did not make any advances.
Based on what he had seen, Mitchel assumed that Stefan and Raegan were not officially together.
But, even so, he couldnât bear the sight of the two of them being so close.
The thought of any man getting close to Raegan was unbearable to him.
Only he could be the one next to her!
Mitchelâs words further infuriated Raegan, driving her to the brink of madness.
âItâs none of your business.
Iâll decide where to go and who to go with! It has nothing to do with you.
Mr.
Dixon, I donât believe we share any connection, whether by law or in life.
So, donât waste your energy on me.
â
Raegan had said enough to sever any lingering connection between her and Mitchel, making Mitchel somewhat immune to her words.
âIn any case, I wonât allow you to be with him.
â Mitchel leaned gracefully against the back seat and issued a veiled threat, âOtherwise, Iâll do everything in my power to make him disappear from Ardlens.
â
Furious, Raegan sank her teeth into Mitchelâs arm until she tasted blood.
Mitchelâs face remained unchanged, and he said nothing as though the arm she had bitten wasnât his.
Finally, Raegan wiped her mouth and warned him, âIâm warning you, if you so much as lay a finger on Stefan, I wonât let you off the hook!â
Mitchel snorted with disdain and sneered, âIâm not joking, Raegan.
Youâd better do as I say, or youâll see the consequences.
â
Mitchel had no intention of exerting pressure on Raegan, but what happened today had pushed him to his limits.
Whenever that scene crossed his mind, he was seething with frustration.
It seemed that Raegan treated everyone kindly except for him.
Her every encounter with him felt like a confrontation.
Mitchel could no longer stand it, and the tension in his mind had reached a b Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
reaking point.
He was on the verge of losing his sanity.
He swore to himself to not let Raegan slip away this time!
âDonât test me, Raegan.
Iâm not making empty threats,â Mitchel continued, his voice growing colder and more resolute.
As she gazed at his stern expression, Raegan suddenly recalled their conversation that day.
It seemed the Clifford family was an influential and powerful clan in the north.
With this thought in mind, Raegan pressed her lips together and retorted, âSo what? Iâm not scared of you.
If you hurt Stefan, Iâll go to the north with him, and youâll never see Janey or me again for the rest of your life!â
Mitchelâs handsome face changed upon hearing Raeganâs ultimatum.
âIâm not joking either!â Raegan added with a mocking sneer.
Her words had struck a nerve with Mitche.
He could no longer maintain his composure as long as he considered such a scenario.
His face contorted with anger.
For a second, he felt the urge to crush Raegan with his bare hands.
But, of course, he refrained from doing so.
