Chapter 1766: Chapter 1771

“How dare you question my worthiness!” Henley’s face twisted with fury.

He seemed to be teetering on the brink of losing composure, constrained only by the fact that they were in public.

Raegan’s gaze, on the other hand, remained bright and resolute.

“Every action he takes is for the betterment of the company.

Can you and Alexis say the same? What have you accomplished anyway? Wooing shareholders, betraying the company’s interests, fabricating your grandfather’s will, colluding with outsiders to devalue the Dixon Group shares for personal gain…”

Raegan snorted.

“Nothing you’ve done makes you worthy of being compared to Mitchel.

”

With that, she left, indifferent to Henley’s escalating anger.

Henley’s expression was hideous as he bellowed at Raegan’s retreating figure, “You’ll regret this! Protecting a man who doesn’t want you.

I’ll wait for you to regret your choice!”

Raegan halted, turned back, and declared, “I was just stating facts.

It has nothing to do with my feelings for him.

”

Henley, speechless, was livid.

“Henley, many mistakes stem from a single misstep.

I’m warning you for the last time.

Don’t make another mistake!” With her piece said, Raegan made her exit.

By the time Raegan returned home, she felt drained.

However, thinking of the impact of today’s incident to Janey, she walked to Janey’s room for a talk.

Janey was already in bed, lively and seemingly untouched by the day’s events, while Annis read her a story.

Approaching softly, Raegan said, “Janey, how about I tell you a story tonight?”

“Yay!” Janey’s eyes Lit up, and she clapped her hands with excitement.

Taking the storybook from Annis’ hands, Raegan said softly, “But before that, let’s have a little chat, okay?”

Janey nodded obediently.

“Sure.

Mommy, what do you want to talk about?”

“Let’s talk about what happened at the hospital today.

Is there something you’d like to share with me?” Raegan wanted to hear Janey’s perspective first before offering any guidance.

Janey squirmed nervously, her tiny hands entwining as she hesitated to speak.

Sensing her daughter’s unease, Raegan gently coaxed, “Janey, you know you can tell me anything.

”

After a moment of hesitation, Janey finally said, “Mommy, at the hospital today, daddy…”

Janey began to say “Daddy” but swiftly corrected herself.

“Mitchel didn’t push me to the floor.

”

Raegan inhaled sharply, taken aback by Janey’s revelation.

Swallowing hard, Janey continued, “Today, I was hitting Mitchel when I lost my balance.

I almost fell, and the sharp edge of the table was this close to my eye!”

Janey pinched her fingers together, illustrating how narrowly she had avoided injury.

Puckering her lips, Janey continued, “If Mitchel hadn’t pushed me away, I would have hurt my eye.

I only cried because I was scared.

I wanted to tell you, but Victor said we should wait until we got home to talk about it.
