? ? ? ? ?

Raegan was stunned.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Why was Mitchel angry? Wasn't he the one who had asked her to sign the divorce agreement?

Before he could express his confusion, Mitchel stood up and said in a cold voice, "Don't forget tonight's dinner at the family's house."

When she saw him leave the office, Raegan shouted behind him, “Mr. Dixon!"

Mitchel stopped dead. He frowned deeply. When he looked over his shoulder, Raegan said, "How about next Monday?"

Hearing that, his eyelids twitched again.

Why in God's name did he stop to listen to such nonsense?

"Whatever you want".

With a dark face, Mitchel closed the door behind him.

Raegan felt both relieved and hurt after hearing that indifferent response.

Since she had decided to get divorced, she thought it was wise to get it over with as soon as possible.

Once the divorce was finalized, she wouldn't have to see Mitchel every day and be reminded of her pain.

As the popular saying went, time would heal all wounds.

It could take a few months or even many years.

But surely one day he would get over Mitchel. There were many fish in the sea.

It was six in the afternoon.

The driver came to pick up Raegan on time.

The Dixon family home was situated in the center of Ardlens. The building was magnificent. Even the garden covered more than a thousand square meters of land and was well maintained.

Since Raegan married into the family, the family member she cared about most was Mitchel's grandfather, Kyler Dixon.

Kyler was open-minded and humble, unlike most elites. He did not lord it over anyone even if he had the right to do so. He really liked Raegan because she seemed like a breath of fresh air for being so simple.

When Mitchel informed Kyler that he was marrying Raegan, Kyler miraculously recovered and was now stronger than he had been in recent years.

Raegan's heart sank when she thought she wouldn't be able to visit Kyler after the divorce.

In the hall, the butler took Raegan's coat and asked her to wait a moment. Apparently Kyler had visitors now.

Raegan yawned. He was always very sleepy lately, which he blamed on the pregnancy. Once the butler told him to wait, he headed to the living room to get some sleep.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. As soon as he entered, a harsh grimace came from behind him.

"Gee! No wonder the air suddenly smells funny. Tessa said sarcastically, pinching her nose as she approached.

Tessa's mom found out that Tessa had offended Mitchel the other day, so they came to suck up to Kyler.

If there was anyone Mitchel obeyed in the Dixon family, it was Kyler.

Tessa's mother was afraid that Tessa would say something stupid, so she sent her to wait in the living room. The troublemaker was playing with her phone when she surprisingly saw Raegan here.

Tessa approached Raegan with her chin raised and commented sarcastically, “You're here to be an asshole, right? Gee!

Even a lapdog has more self-respect than you.

It was a known fact that Kyler had a soft spot for Raegan, and even considered her better than some of his offspring.

This was one of the reasons Tessa hated Raegan.

In his eyes, Raegan was a nobody. How dare Raegan try to flatter Kyler! What a willing slut!

After cursing Raegan inwardly, Tessa smiled complacently.

«Anyway, do you have any idea where Mitchel is now? Lauren just told me that Mitchel was on his way to pick her up. They will surely come here tonight. If I were you, I'd leave now. "It is better to leave now than to stay here to be humiliated."

Tessa was sharp-tongued and knew how to provoke even the easiest of people.

As expected, Raegan's expression changed upon hearing that.

«But I have to admit it. “You are the first confident girl I have ever seen in my life.”

The more Tessa talked, the more complacent she became. He leaned close to Raegan's ear and said contemptuously, “Wake up, you fool! You're nothing more than a toy for Mitchel. How dare you consider yourself a member of the Dixon family? What makes you think you are worthy enough?

Raegan was already in a bad mood today, and now she was annoyed by Tessa's constant chatter. I didn't want dramas. With a grimace, he replied, “No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that I'm your cousin-in-law. Sit down.”

«And shit! What are you saying? Tessa yelled.

What the hell was this crazy woman talking about?

Seeing how angry Tessa looked made Raegan feel a lot better.

Raegan shrugged and replied with a smile, “Are you okay? I don't quite speak a foreign language, do I?

There were only a handful of people who knew about Mitchel's marriage to Raegan, including Mitchel's close friends. Lauren knew it too, but she didn't say a word to Tessa.

Lauren only saw Tessa as a pawn even though Tessa thought they were friends.

«Are you kidding me? You must be like a fucking goat. Why would Mitchel marry someone like you? Stop raving!

Lauren is the only woman Mitchel would marry. He loves her so much. How could he marry a homeless woman like you? You must be crazy. Go get your brain checked, you fool.

Tessa growled, seething with rage.

Raegan remained calm despite Tessa's screams. Raegan frowned as she realized this wasn't good for her baby.

Two security guards entered after hearing screams from outside.

They asked what the problem was.

“Throw this thing away!” Tessa ordered, pointing at Raegan.

It was a tradition that Raegan came here to have dinner with Kyler every month. The workers knew her face and knew that she was very dear to Kyler.

Now, the security guards didn't know what to do.

Seeing his doubts, Tessa became furious.

«Don't you know how to do your job anymore? Kick her out right now! If you do not obey my order, I will ask Kyler to fire you.

The security guards' faces darkened after hearing Tessa's arrogant words.

They wanted to tell Tessa off, but they couldn't because she was related to Kyler.

Raegan didn't expect Tessa to be so unreasonable. He frowned.

«Tessa, don't go too far! No human is above others. In other words, you have no right to talk to them like that!

"Ha ha!" Tessa threw her head back and laughed loudly.

«Look at you!

So you don't know that money rules the world? Let me tell you. This is the Dixon family home. As a relative of the owner, I have every right to talk to the workers however I want. If you have a problem with that, get lost!”

Raegan shook her head. I had never met someone so unreasonable.

«Loyal security guards are hard to find these days. They neither steal nor pose a threat to the safety of this family. They work hard to earn an honest living. "You're wrong for treating them like that."

Raegan looked Tessa straight in the eyes.

It reminded Tessa of the same hard look Raegan gave her the last time she checked the accounts.

In a fit of rage, Tessa grabbed the glass of juice on the table and poured it on Raegan.

Raegan hadn't seen it coming, so her clothes were instantly soaked.

The shiny suit stuck to her skin. He looked down and let out a scream of horror.

Shaking her head cheekily, Tessa scoffed, “That's what you get for not knowing your place. How dare you, a mere homeless person that Kyler took pity on, tell me what to do?

After saying that, Tessa raised her hand and was about to slap Raegan.

"For!" A cold voice was heard.

Mitchel approached and looked at them coldly.

Tessa staggered, feeling weak in the knees.

He quickly regained his composure. As far as she was concerned, Raegan was the troublemaker. Why would he be scared?

«It's a good thing you're here, Mitchel! This bitch is trying to ruin your reputation. I will teach him a lesson from you.

Mitchel looked at Tessa with an impatient look.

Tessa couldn't read Mitchel's expression. When Mitchel put her shoulder around her and walked over to Raegan, she was still dazed.

«Can you believe that bitch called herself my cousin-in-law? She's crazy, right? It's dangerous to allow such a crazy woman to continue working for you. Fire her as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Mitchel stopped dead.

Tessa's cousin-in-law?

A smile spread across his face. The depression that plagued his heart all afternoon was overthrown by happiness in a flash.

“Raegan.” Mitchel raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Raegan with amusement, and asked, "Did you say that?"
