Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 190

? ? ? ? ?

Alexis looked at Raegan's pale face and thought she was right when she said she panicked easily.

However, remembering how Mitchel would dare to disobey him for her, she gritted her teeth in anger.

However, Alexis had no idea that Mitchel's injury had occurred while saving Raegan. He assumed it was an accident, which made him less cocky.

"Now that you're divorced, you should distance yourself from Mitchel and stop bothering him," Alexis growled.

Alexis's eyes shone with contempt as she continued to scold Raegan: "No self-respecting woman would be as annoying as you!"

Alexis wouldn't bother with someone as insignificant as Raegan.

However, what Mitchel said the other day had revealed his deep concern for Raegan, which worried Alexis greatly.

Although he and Mitchel often disagreed, Mitchel usually remained indifferent to him and rarely challenged him directly.

Now, seeing Raegan in person, Alexis understood why Mitchel had been acting out of character.

He suspected that Raegan's beauty had cast a spell on Mitchel.

Therefore, he was determined to take control of the situation before it got worse.

As Alexis turned to leave, Raegan clenched her fists and spoke up.

"I understand your concern about Mitchel, but I don't agree with you."

Alexis stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Raegan with a grim expression.

Raegan looked up and continued in a neutral tone: "I don't think there's anything shameful about my origin."

Despite her humble background and having lost her parents at a young age, Raegan never lost hope, nor did she consider herself less than anyone.

On the contrary, she considered herself lucky to have a loving grandmother, who loved her very much.

His inferiority to Mitchel was due to his exceptional achievements in all aspects.

In his early twenties, Mitchel earned a double degree abroad and broke records in his early days on Wall Street.

Mitchel's achievements in the business world were unparalleled in the world, especially considering his young age.

Of course, the difference in their family backgrounds played a role, but Raegan's main goal was to become stronger. He did not necessarily aspire to equal him, but to stand out in his own field.

Alexis didn't expect Raegan to have the courage to refute her words.

Suddenly, Alexis's expression darkened even more, and her eyes brimmed with contempt.

«Young lady, don't be so naive. Let me tell you something. People like you, born without privilege, will never measure up to those born with a silver spoon.

His words, although illogical, were usually effective.

Anyone who lacked mental toughness would quickly succumb to his words, designed to brainwash and belittle the individual.

However, Raegan had faced many challenges over the years.

Despite life's difficulties, he remained resilient and optimistic. He wouldn't let Alexis' bullshit get him down.

«If you consider yourself a man of high status, I hope your mentality is up to par. “It is impolite to look at others through such a narrow prism,” Raegan replied calmly.

This implied that Alexis was the type of person who stood tall but looked down on others.

Alexis's expression darkened at his mocking words.

It was clear that he had not anticipated Raegan's eloquent response.

The next second, Alexis lost her composure and began cursing vehemently: “Don't fool yourself into thinking that my son is going to challenge me just because you two have spent two years together. Cross me and I will make him disappear from the face of the world.

His words contained an unmistakable threat. He meant that if Raegan dared to defy him, he would finish her off.

Alexis' cruelty took Raegan by surprise.

No wonder Mitchel rarely talked about his father. The distance that separated them was unbridgeable.

When Raegan didn't say anything, Alexis assumed she was intimidated and scoffed.

«As for your two years of marriage to him, I will take it as if Mitchel had called a prostitute for his needs. You've already tasted the taste of a comfortable life. Now go, and don't you dare go back to Mitchel.

His crude words filled Raegan with disgust.

Raegan fixed her gaze on Alexis and asked dryly, "Tell me, what are you so afraid of?"

Alexis hesitated for a moment.

The truth was that he had said those harsh words out of fear that Raegan would meet Mitchel again, which would derail his plans.

«Me, scared? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think you can intimidate me?

Alexis replied with false cockiness.

«To tell the truth, Mitchel came to see me last night, asking me to discuss an engagement with the Benton family. The wedding ceremony will take place very soon.

Commitment? Was Mitchel planning to propose to Eloise Benton?

Raegan felt like she had been struck by lightning.

If Mitchel was determined to marry Eloise, why had he risked his life for her and told her those sincere words?

Noticing Raegan's surprised expression, Alexis scoffed in satisfaction.

How dare that woman challenge him! It was clear that it had been overrated.

"As Mitchel's father, it is only fair that I eliminate any inconvenience for my future daughter-in-law, unless..." Alexis looked at Raegan with contempt and continued, "You pretend to be Mitchel's mistress."

His words, laced with disdain, made Raegan feel like she was in a pressure cooker.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably and it took him a great effort to regain his composure.

At that moment, Raegan pursed her lips and replied, “You have nothing to worry about. I refuse to be anyone's lover. As soon as Mitchel commits, I will not appear in front of him again.

Seemingly satisfied with his answer, Alexis nodded and warned, "Remember your promise!"

Just then, the elevator doors opened.

Raegan looked and saw a familiar face coming out of the elevator.

Behind the crowd was a girl in a coat and cocoon hat. His features were charming and youthful.

Raegan recognized her right away. It was Eloise.

The woman guiding Eloise looked like her. It must have been his mother.

A wave of emotions hit Raegan.

Finding out about Mitchel's upcoming engagement was one thing, but seeing Eloise in person was like a fresh wound.

How could he forget Eloise's sweet, flirtatious voice in the store when Mitchel risked his life to save her?

For a moment, Raegan felt as if an invisible hand had slapped her.

His heart sank with pain.

Perhaps Mitchel's heroics were motivated by guilt over the baby, not the feelings Raegan had hoped for.

At that moment, Raegan quietly stepped aside and let them pass.

In an instant, Alexis' demeanor transformed into Eloise's presence. He shook the middle-aged woman's hand and greeted her cordially: "Mrs. Benton, what brings you here?"

«I have come after hearing about Mitchel's heroic feat. "I wanted to see if he's recovering well," Polly replied.

Hearing his words, Raegan's complexion lost color again.

A heroic act? As it turned out, that was how they described the incident.

Well, it wouldn't be appropriate to suggest that Mitchel had left his fiancée behind to save another woman.

“Your consideration is greatly appreciated,” Alexis expressed with gratitude.

«It's the least I can do. After all, our families will be united soon.

As Polly spoke, she placed deliberate emphasis on the word "family."
