Mitchel felt a jolt seeing Raegan defend Stefan, his dark eyes growing colder.
Just when Raegan anticipated another outburst, Mitchel exhaled quietly, seemingly holding back strong emotions, and then rasped, âSorry, I wasnât clear.
â
Raegan was dumbfounded.
What did she just hear? An apology from Mitchel?
Mitchelâs brow creased slightly as he added, âI had no intention of threatening him.
â
Raegan frowned, rendered speechless.
Stefan shared the same sentiment.
Stefanâs perception of Mitchel shifted drastically.
How could someoneâs demeanor change so quickly? Mitchel was as unpredictable as anyone could be.
Then, Matteo rushed over, apologizing to Stefan, âPlease forgive me, I forgot to brake.
Iâll cover all repairs.
â
Mitchel, with his handsome features showing a trace of pallor, commanded in a deep voice, âMatteo, ensure Mr.
Clifford gets a thorough check-up to see if heâs physically hurt and have him select a new car from the dealership.
â
Mitchel sophisticatedly camouflaged his feelings and echoed Matteo, showcasing his shrew side.
Raegan was frustrated.
Mitchel simply whitewashed himself by echoing Matteoâs words.
Matteo had two extra vehicles over, informing Stefan, âMr.
Clifford, please let us handle the vehicle situation.
â
Stefan gazed at Raegan, inquiring, âWould you like to join me?â
Before Raegan could respond, Mitchel cut in, âShe doesnât need to go out of her way.
Iâll send her home.
â
Annoyed, Raegan responded, âIâm not on your way.
â
Stefan was about to respond when Matteo reassured them, âNo concerns, Mr.
Clifford.
We have enough vehicles.
Miss Foster will be safely escorted home.

Knowing Stefan had important documents and money in his car that required his attention, Raegan stated, âGo ahead, Stefan.
Iâll manage.
â
Though hesitant, Stefan gave in since he had confidential family documents in his car that needed his care.
And with Mitchel present, Raegan seemed safe.
He gave a nod, saying, âLet me know once youâre home.
â
Feeling responsible for the inconvenience to Stefan, Raegan agreed quietly.
Mitchel watched, opening and closing his fists to control his feelings.
Stefan addressed Mitchel, âAppreciate it, Mr.
Dixon.
â
Mitchel replied with depth, âIâm merely doing my duty.
â
Their exchange had an underlying rivalry, each viewing Raegan as their own.
Stefan diverted his gaze first, offering Raegan a soft Look before departing.
Watching Raeganâs eyes track Stefan, Mitchel felt his heart feeling torn, his expression growing pained.
