Seeing Raegan's reaction, Nell continued playfully, "Oh, how can I forget about that?" After all, you've already hooked up with someone as handsome as Mitchel. How are you going to give a shit about other guys?

Raegan snorted. «What good is good appearance? "No matter how attractive a man is, it doesn't change the fact that he can be a complete asshole."

Just as he finished speaking, the man sitting next to his table suddenly put on a bitter expression.

Sitting across from Mitchel, Luis couldn't contain his laughter as he looked at Mitchel's sour expression.

Luis playfully commented, "I never expected Raegan to be smart enough to trick you into divorcing her."

Mitchel's usually handsome face was shadowed with a gloomy cloud.

Luis saw Raegan at the bar and motioned for Mitchel to come over.

The entire conversation between the three women had been inadvertently overheard by Luis, and when Mitchel finally arrived, he only caught the end of Raegan apparently calling him an idiot.

However, since he was a gossip enthusiast, Luis generously told Mitchel the entire conversation.

A satisfied smile appeared on Luis's face as he watched Mitchel's face become increasingly gloomy.

Luis said silently: "You deserve it!" After all, Mitchel always used to make fun of him for being single. Being his brother, Mitchel should have had his back instead of making fun of him.

But how did you manage to keep this a secret for so long, man? "Not even I had any idea that you had remarried," Luis joked, without particularly worrying about whether Mitchel responded or not. He muttered to himself, "Now I'll have to think of a special gift for you."

Seemingly oblivious to Luis's comments, Mitchel remained silent, totally absorbed in the conversation between Raegan and her friends.

"It seems like they're discussing finding a boyfriend for Raegan," Luis said with a sly smile. «Brother, it seems that you have screwed up this time. "Now there is no margin for error."

"Not going to happen," Mitchel replied, raising his glass and draining its contents. He was determined to get Raegan back.

Mitchel was determined to rekindle Raegan's love, and swore to himself that he would not resort to forcing her to stay by his side.

In Mitchel's mind, Raegan's earlier ploy to cheat on him and get a divorce mattered little. What really mattered was making her fall in love with him again.

As Luis looked at the redhead with half-closed eyes, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity came over him. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that he bore a striking resemblance to Nicole Lawrence, the daughter of the Lawrence family.

However, upon hearing the woman's voice, which had a slightly harsher and completely different quality than Nicole's, Luis was taken aback.

His curiosity takes over and he prepares to take a look at the woman's face. To their surprise, the three of them suddenly got up and left.

Mitchel did not join them. Instead, he phoned Matteo, asking him to keep an eye on Raegan to make sure she returned home safely.

Just then Jarrod arrived, diverting Luis's attention from his previous thoughts. If the red-haired woman was really Nicole, Jarrod would be more than surprised.

However, recent events had taken a peculiar turn.

Leaning back in his seat with his long legs stretched out, Luis rested his chin in his hand and asked, "Jarrod, have I heard that you've finally let your beloved rest in peace?"

In response to Luis's question, Jarrod nodded solemnly.

"What made you suddenly change your mind?" Luis had repeatedly tried to dissuade Jarrod from keeping Nicole's body at home.

Even after undergoing anticorrosive procedures, the body remained a lifeless entity that inevitably carried some bacteria. Who could stand sleeping with a mummy every night?

Despite their close friendship, Luis found it quite disturbing. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something strange about Jarrod's mental state.

However, Jarrod had always shown sharpness and determination in his undertakings, without giving any hint of madness.

However, Luis continued to periodically urge Jarrod to reconsider, but his pleas always fell on deaf ears.

Out of nowhere, Jarrod had made the surprising decision to cremate Nicole's remains.

Biting his lip, Jarrod struggled to speak, and finally uttered, "Nicole's back."

Upon hearing these words, Luis was stunned. «Has he returned? When did he come back?

However, Jarrod remained silent, leaving Luis in a state of bewilderment.

The other night, Jarrod had searched every corner of Ardlens, but there was no sign of Nicole. I felt as if the entire experience had been nothing more than a dream.

Alec had suggested that Jarrod needed to get some rest or that he should consider seeing a doctor, but Jarrod remained steadfast in his belief that he was not losing his mind. He was convinced that the woman he had seen was Nicole, and that she was undeniably alive. It couldn't have been a mere illusion.

The memory of the intense hatred in Nicole's eyes lingered in Jarrod's mind, a harsh reminder that this time he would not let him get away easily.

In response, Jarrod was willing to fulfill her wishes, whatever they were. In fact, he looked forward to the day when Nicole decided to approach him on her own terms, firmly believing that she would do so sooner or later.

Over the next week, Mitchel chose to give Raegan space and did not get personally involved in her affairs. Instead, his assistant, Matteo, arranged the transfer of the Serenity Villas on Mitchel's behalf.

Despite Raegan's disinterest in the Serenity Villas, he remained true to his promise and went through all the necessary paperwork with Matteo.

Raegan's schedule quickly filled up with the official launch of her studio. Numerous tasks demanded his attention.

Located in the central shopping district of Ardlens, his studio was aptly named 'Crescent'.

Instead of renting offices, Raegan opted to purchase an entire building and transform it into a collection of showrooms, each adorned in different styles.

Crescent specialized in high-end custom-made clothing and jewelry, offering customers a unique shopping experience.

Advanced AI assistance improved the online shopping process, providing a delightful experience to customers.

The grandeur and opulence of the Crescent opening had the town of Ardlens abuzz with excitement.
