Chapter 836: Chapter 838

Raegan’s first reaction was to avoid him.

She couldn’t explain why, but meeting Mitchel filled her with apprehension.

Maybe she was tired of saying those insincere words over and over again.

Later that afternoon, after her classes, Raegan met up with Henley.

They had agreed to have dinner together at a nice restaurant.

Just as they were about to enter, a greasy-faced man approached and patted Henley on the shoulder with a smirk.

“Well, isn’t this Mr.

Brooks, fresh from Wall Street.

”

Henley’s expression turned grim.

He Lowered his head and whispered to Raegan, “He’s my former colleague.

Let’s go.

Just ignore him.

”

However, the man wouldn’t let the two of them go.

Back when he and Henley were in investment banking, Henley had always outshone him.

And now, he would not let this chance to mock Henley slip away.

He blocked their path and jeered, “Having dinner with your girlfriend, huh?”

Raegan was about to retort when she noticed the man’s leering look turning toward her.

“Little beauty, did you know he was fired from his company for breaking the rules? Being fired by his former company means he’s trash.

No investment bank in the country will hire him again.

You won’t have a future with him.

You’d be better off with someone like me,”

The man’s words made Henley’s usually calm demeanor turn cold.

At this moment, he protectively pulled Raegan behind him and addressed the man, “Aldo, watch your language and stop bothering my friend.

”

“How can you be so sure she prefers you? You don’t even have a decent job,” Aldo retorted with a sneer.

He turned to Raegan and said, “Hey, beauty, come with me.

I’ll treat you to a life of luxury, unlimited credit cards, anything you want.

”

Henley didn’t even spare him a glance and pulled Raegan along.

“Don’t mind him.

Let’s go.

”

Despite Henley’s outward calm, Raegan could feel the tension in his grasp.

She was aware of why he was fired, and it was unjust.

Not only did he have to endure false accusations, but he now had to tolerate derogatory remarks from a scum like Aldo.

At the thought of this, she paused and addressed the man, “You’re Aldo, right?”

“Yes!” Aldo grinned from ear to ear.

“So, pretty lady, have you come to your senses? Come with me.

”

Raegan looked at his outstretched hand with apparent disgust and calmly retorted, “Having manners is a good thing.

Maybe bring some along next time you go out.

”

Aldo was momentarily stunned and then realized Raegan was insulting him.

The next second, his face reddened with anger.
