As Raegan said nothing, Alexis assumed she was intimidated and scoffed.
âAs for your two-year marriage with him, Iâll take it Like Mitchel had summoned a prostitute for his needs.
Youâve had your taste of a wealthy life.
Now leave, and donât you dare come back to Mitchel.
â
His crass words filled Raegan with disgust.
Raegan fixed her gaze on Alexis and asked pointedly, âTell me, what are you so afraid of?â
Alexis faltered for a moment.
The truth was, he said those harsh words for fear Raegan might reunite with Mitchel, which would derail his plans.
âMe, afraid? Donât be ridiculous.
You think you can intimidate me?â
Alexis retorted with false bravado.
âTo tell you the truth, Mitchel came to me last night, asking me to discuss an engagement with the Benton family.
The wedding ceremony will be held soon enough.

Engagement? Mitchel planned to propose to Eloise Benton?

At this moment, Raegan pursed her lips and shot back, âYou donât have to worry about it.
I refuse to be anyoneâs mistress.
Once Mitchel is engaged, I will not show up in front of him again.
â
Seemingly pleased with her response, Alexis nodded and warned, âRemember your promise!â
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
Raegan looked over and saw a familiar face stepping out of the elevator.
Trailing behind the crowd was a girl in a coat and bud hat.
Her features charming and youthful.
Raegan recognized her at once.
It was Eloise.
The woman leading Eloise bore a resemblance to Eloise.
It must be her mother.
