Raegan confirmed with a nod and presented a bank card to Matteo, inquiring, âDo you have the IOUs handy?â
With Matteoâs confirmation, Raegan instructed, âThis card has three million dollars in it.
Verify the amount, then please hand over those I0Us.
â
Matteo hesitated, suggesting, âShouldnât we wait for Mr.
Dixonâ¦â
Raegan cut him off, âNo need.
Just confirm the balance and provide me with the I0Us promptly, Matteo.
â
Raegan flatly refused.
She was worried about being misconstrued by Mitchelâs new girlfriend.
Eloise observed the scene quietly, so to avoid any issues, Matteo escorted Raegan aside to resolve the matter of the debt.
Once the debt was settled, Raegan left.
Meanwhile, Mitchel was preoccupied in his office until nightfall.
Emerging from his work, he discovered Eloise asleep on the couch.
Mitchelâs brow furrowed as he inquired, âWhy is she still here?â
âMiss Benton insists on waiting for you,â Matteo replied with a hint of resignation.
Mitchelâs frown deepened, realizing Matteo was merely fulfilling his duties and wasnât to be faulted.
The Benton family was currently in the limelight.
If Eloise were to be sent away by his staff, it could fuel rumors of a rift between the Dixon and the Benton families, potentially affecting the stock market.
âShould I wake Miss Benton?â Matteo offered tentatively.
âNo, let her sleep.
Just ensure someone stays here with her,â Mitchel directed, preparing to leave.
âMr.
Dixon,â Matteo called out, halting Mitchel to report Raeganâs earlier visit and the debt situation from the afternoon.
He extended the bank card toward Mitchel.
âShe insisted on leaving this.

Mitchel had previously instructed Matteo that Raegan didnât need to repay the debt if she came to collect the IOUs.
Despite Matteo explaining this, Raegan had left the card anyway.
Under Mitchelâs intense gaze, Matteo felt an overwhelming urge to discard the card.
Angered, Mitchel glared at the card before hissing through clenched teeth, âDispose of it.
â
Then he stormed off.
Seething in his car, Mitchelâs anger gave way to a sudden stomachache.
