Raegan looked at Lauren with disdain and said, "Let's be clear, Lauren." I have no interest in Mitchel. It's nothing but garbage to me. Why are you acting so proud?

Lauren, far from being angry, felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Forward. Attack me!” she muttered to herself.

She was convinced that Mitchel wouldn't want to stay with someone like Raegan after hearing these words.

Maybe divorce was imminent.

Continuing her tirade, Raegan scoffed, “If you want to pick up my leftovers that bad, go ahead. By the way, I hope that you two, a slut and a bastard, find happiness together.

Hearing these words, Mitchel, who was behind them, stopped short and his expression darkened.

Bastard? Since when was Raegan so scathing?

Lauren, now really furious, retorted, "Who are you calling a bitch?"

«Oh, how could I forget? You're the lady here, Raegan joked, leaving Lauren mortified and angry.

Raegan, with a mocking smile, added: “Don't get your hopes up. Even if you are successful, you will always be the lover. That label will always haunt you, so you better stay at bay and don't cross paths with me again.

Lauren's face clouded over at these words. Although Mitchel seemed calm, she was angry earlier.

But she suppressed her fury, thinking that tolerating this would help her marry Mitchel.

At Raegan's threatening tone, Lauren played the victim.

«What are you implying? Is it a threat?

"Yes, I'm threatening you," Raegan admitted unapologetically.

«I have lost everything. Do you think I'm afraid of you now?

Lauren inwardly rejoiced.

This was exactly what he wanted, for Mitchel to witness Raegan's malicious nature.

It was the perfect time for Mitchel to intervene.

Pretending to notice Mitchel just then, Lauren burst into tears and, with a trembling voice, pleaded, “Mitchel, please help me…”

Raegan's satisfied smile widened as she saw Lauren's changed facade.

Did Lauren think she hadn't noticed Mitchel's arrival?

He was fully aware. His words were deliberate.

If those words could speed up her divorce, she was willing to say even more.

If once wasn't enough, he would do it five more times.

Without hesitation, she grabbed Lauren's hair and slapped her, fueling the drama.

Raegan knew that Lauren's plan was for Mitchel to witness her apparent madness. So be it. I would fully assume the role.

Raegan bent down to pick up the broken shards of a mug from the floor, pressing them menacingly against Lauren's cheek. Sneeringly, he mocked: “Who do you think will come to rescue you? "How would you feel if I cut your face?"

Fear took hold of Lauren instantly. He couldn't understand Raegan's sudden madness. Why was Raegan still angry even after learning of Mitchel's arrival?

Terrified that her face would be ruined, Lauren collapsed, sobbing, "Mitchel... Help me... Help..."

Suddenly, a figure rushed in from behind, snatching the broken glass from Raegan's grasp, pulling her along.

Unexpectedly, Raegan's body was alarmingly light, like a sheet of paper, causing her to fall against the nightstand.

Instantly, her delicate face throbbed with pain, her face beaded with cold sweat.

Mitchel's expression changed to concern. Crouching next to Raegan, he anxiously offered his hand and asked, "Are you hurt?"

The next moment, he jerked her hand away.

"Fuck off!"

Raegan's pale face contorted in obvious disgust.

Mitchel's hand hung in the air, his expression grim.

Suddenly, he felt arms wrap around him from behind.

Lauren, finding her savior, clung to Mitchel, trembling.

Fear prevented him from speaking.

«Mitchel, Raegan has lost her mind. It has crushed my knees… The pain is unbearable. Please help me. She is upset. It could kill me..."

A nurse entered, visibly surprised by the chaos in the room. He quickly helped Raegan sit up on the bed.

Raegan's ear wound, aggravated by Lauren's earlier assault, began to bleed again, but Raegan seemed indifferent, her gaze icy as she watched their interaction, her eyes brimming with contempt.

Mitchel helped Lauren, who was still crying and shaking, into a wheelchair.

Lauren's hands clung to his as if anchored by terror. His ability to feign anguish was astonishing.

Before, Raegan would have explained frantically, fearing being misunderstood.

But now, Raegan was emotionless.

Her only wish was to divorce quickly, distance herself from that disgusting man and woman, and never meet them again.

Although Lauren held her, Mitchel continued to look at Raegan, with obvious concern.

He ordered the nurse: "Call the doctor, quickly!"

Lauren, mistaking his concern for his injuries, gripped his hands tighter, her voice shaking.

«I don't want to stay here, Mitchel.

Raegan is upset. I'm terrified. Please take me away..."

With a grimace, Raegan warned, "Yes, Mr. Dixon, accompany your loved one to the doctor, or I fear you may end up taking her life." Imagine the anguish you will feel then.

Mitchel's brow furrowed. She gently pushed Lauren away and took a step toward Raegan, her hand outstretched in an attempt at clarification: “Raegan, you've got it all wrong, I don't…”

"Mitchel!"

Suddenly, Lauren grabbed onto his sleeve, her voice panicked.

"Be careful. Raegan has lost her mind. She blames us for her abortion and wants us dead because you saved me. Please don't go near her..."

Mentioning abortion was like poking a bear for Raegan, but Lauren did it deliberately, poking at her most painful spot.

Mitchel couldn't silence Lauren in time.

"Fuck off! Get lost!" Raegan's scream was a mixture of cold fury and deep sorrow, her eyes, bright with unshed tears, boring into them with intense hatred.

Seeing Mitchel still, Raegan grabbed a glass ornament from the nightstand and threw it at him.

Boom! It collided with Mitchel's chest with a thud, leaving his complexion ashen.

"Relief! "Someone help me." Lauren's scream was frantic, echoing her fear of Raegan.

When the doctor ran in, Lauren, still shaking, shouted, “Doctor, look at her. Isn't she crazy? Shouldn't he be in a psychiatric hospital? He's trying to kill us..."

“Shut up!” Mitchel's interruption was cold and abrupt.

He then led Lauren out of the room, showing an appearance of care.

Back in Lauren's living room, Mitchel, hands in his pockets, turned to Lauren and asked, "What exactly did you say to Raegan?"
