Raegan was stunned by the girlâs audacity to distort the truth so effortlessly.
Was it not clear who the real aggressor was? If the girl hadnât deliberately stepped on her, Raegan wouldnât have interacted with the girl in the first place.
Mitchel casually swirled the stem of his goblet between his fingers and responded in a measured tone, âItâs just a small misunderstanding.
This poor girl is crying so pitifully.
Miss Foster, try not to be so harsh.
â
Raegan felt a chill in her heart upon hearing this.
She was surprised to be painted as the aggressor in his narrative.
Raegan was no pushover and couldnât tolerate being bullied Like this.
In a swift motion, she removed her shoes and socks, exposing her feet, and said with a sardonic laugh, âIs this also a misunderstanding?â
Raeganâs feet bore red marks, already beginning to bruise.
Most peopleâs skin might only show a slight redness or no visible marks after being stepped on by the high heels.
However, Raeganâs skin was exceptionally sensitive, much like that of a child.
Therefore, even a Little mark would stay for a long time.
It was inappropriate to remove her shoes in the club, and not wanting to draw more attention, Raegan quickly slipped them back on.
The girlâs confidence faltered, visibly shaken by the evidence.
She hadnât anticipated that such a brief contact would leave a mark.
With a wavering voice, she murmured, âDear, I truly didnât realize it.
Itâs really just a misunderstanding!â
âApologize, Raegan demanded curtly, no longer interested in prolonging the discussion.
â
The girl turned to Mitchel, her eyes brimming with tears, conveying a delicate and pitiful appearance.
At that moment, Mitchel kept his gaze lowered, maintaining a calm demeanor that betrayed no hint of his emotions.
Yet, the girl sensed an inexplicable chill from Mitchel.
It felt Like the biting cold of Siberia, enough to make anyone shiver.
Feeling wronged, the girl murmured, âIâm sorry.
I didnât mean to do that.
Please forgive meâ¦â
With those words, the girl shifted the narrative, painting herself as the victim.
It was a familiar tactic for the girl, appearing innocent but manipulative.
When confronted by Raeganâs firm stance, the girl quickly showed vulnerability and pleaded dramatically, âIf youâre still upset, Iâll even bow down to you.
Would that satisfy you?â
Raegan was taken aback by the sudden theatrics.
All she had wanted was a sincere apology, yet the girl escalated it to an emotional spectacle.
The bystanders now looked at Raegan with judgment in their eyes.
Maintaining a neutral face, Raegan tried to clarify, âAll I want isâ¦â
Raegan was about to say she only demanded an apology when Mitchel cut her off with a stern, âEnough.
â
He looked at the girl and commanded, âStand up.
â
The girlâs eyes were red.
She gazed at Raegan with a submissive look, as if she dared not stand without Raeganâs forgiveness.
Raegan was left speechless.
