Luciana grew up with a vicious stepmother, and she had seen this kind of trick countless times.

In the past, she had to fight these kinds of vixens by herself.

But now, the situation was different. He had money and power. There was no need to deal with bitches like Lauren by herself.

How to deal with scheming and shameless women like Lauren?

There was only one way.

«Stop acting innocent. Get up!" Luciana said sarcastically.

He immediately stretched out his hand to pick up Lauren and tried to throw her out of here.

But before she could touch Lauren, Lauren started crying.

«Luciana, don't hit me. Please don't hit me..."

As she spoke, Lauren hugged Mitchel's leg tightly with both hands.

She looked at Luciana in horror, as if Luciana was a demon from hell.

Luciana was about to explode with anger.

«I said let it go! Aren't you ashamed? You know very well that Mitchel is a married man.

"You are shameless."

But the more Luciana pushed Lauren, the more Lauren clung to Mitchel's leg. Their commotion had already attracted the attention of the guests on the second floor.

“Luciana…” Raegan shouted Luciana's name to stop her. Raegan knew that Luciana had asthma and couldn't get too upset.

"Mom, stop it, please."

Mitchel raised his hand to stop Luciana. His face had already darkened.

But at this moment, Lauren suddenly fell in their direction. His hand moved unconsciously to catch it. But as a result, he unintentionally pushed Raegan.

"TO THE"

Behind Raegan were the stairs. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed in fright.

It was like a thin sheet of paper about to fly away. She reached for Mitchel in horror, hoping he would pull her back.

Mitchel's eyes flew open and his heart skipped a beat. I wanted to catch Raegan.

However, Lauren hugged him so tightly that it stopped him one step.

Mitchel and Raegan were a few steps away from each other. But there seemed to be an unbridgeable distance between them.

The glint of hope in Raegan's eyes faded.

Mitchel's coat slipped off his shoulders and his hands fell weakly to his sides. He could only close his eyes helplessly.

When Raegan thought she was going to fall down the stairs, Luciana grabbed her tightly.

Finally, Raegan stood still again.

But she was still so scared that she couldn't let go of Luciana's hand. His body was shaking uncontrollably.

The scene just now came to mind. How could Mitchel push her like that? If it weren't for Luciana, she and her baby would have died.

He felt as if a sharp knife was stabbing his heart again and again. He never thought that Mitchel would do something like that to him because of Lauren.

“Mitchel, you…” Luciana was about to scold Mitchel. However, she was so angry that she coughed violently.

Mitchel was stunned for a while. Everything had happened so quickly. I didn't expect him to accidentally push Raegan.

His heart ached when he saw her pale face. He couldn't bear to look at her for long.

He wished he could hold her in his arms and comfort her in that moment.

“Raegan…” Mitchel shouted hoarsely. He reached out guiltily, wanting to take Raegan's hand and apologize.

But Raegan took a cautious step back. It was evident that he was afraid of him.

His reaction made Mitchel's heart hurt even more.

Raegan suddenly felt dizzy. It was as if everything around him was spinning.

He pressed his palms together. Why was he still here? He felt that the longer he stayed here, the more he humiliated himself.

Luciana coughed violently again.

It was then that Raegan came to her senses. He gently patted Luciana's back and advised her, “Luciana, calm down first, okay?

Come on, let me take you to your room so you can get some rest. "You need to relax."

Raegan thought that coming here today had been a big mistake.

He couldn't afford to offend Mitchel and Lauren, so he better stay away and avoid contact with them. They would only bring harm to her and her baby.

Luciana was also very disappointed in Mitchel. So, before leaving, she said a few words to him: “No wonder Raegan never told you when she was harassed by others. Now I understand why she preferred to keep it to herself. Mitchel, what kind of man are you?

Mitchel frowned. Were Raegan bullied by other people? He wondered who dared to bully Raegan.

At this point, Lauren was no longer holding Mitchel's legs. But she was still sitting on the floor with her head bowed. No one could see that a victorious smile appeared on his face.

What happened today made him realize one thing. He could easily get rid of Luciana by controlling Mitchel. It turned out that Luciana had asthma. As long as Mitchel was under his control, he could anger Luciana to death.

Thinking about it, Lauren reached out and grabbed Mitchel's leg again. She looked up with tears in her eyes and said plaintively, “Mitchel, my legs hurt so much…”

Mitchel lowered his head and looked at her. But he didn't even touch her hands. Instead, he pulled her by the shoulders and lifted her up.

Lauren thought the time was right and she should take advantage of the opportunity. There were so many people here tonight. He had to find a way to corroborate the rumors that were flying around. This way, he could reach Mitchel. So after getting up, she tried to fall into his arms.

However, Mitchel seemed to read his mind. He held her shoulder firmly with one hand, preventing her from falling.

Then he said coldly, "If you don't feel well, go home and rest."

After saying this, he turned around and left, ignoring Lauren's injury.

“Mitchel…” Lauren shouted aggrieved. But Mitchel just turned a deaf ear and continued walking away.

Lauren's body swayed a little. The expression on his face became terrible.

Mitchel walked in the direction where Luciana and Raegan had gone.

Obviously, I would look for them.

Could it be that Mitchel had already fallen in love with Raegan?

When this thought crossed Lauren's mind, hatred instantly filled her eyes. He clenched his fists tightly.

At that moment, Tessa walked over to Lauren and took her arm.

«Lauren, come on. "You need to rest."

Tessa took Lauren to one of the guest rooms. As soon as Tessa closed the door, she walked over to Lauren on the bed and asked, “Lauren, were you bullied by that old woman too?”

When Lauren heard the word too, she looked at Tessa. Then he saw Tessa's red, swollen face. He instantly understood what had happened.

With tears in her eyes, Lauren asked, "Did Luciana slap you?"

Tessa said through clenched teeth, “Yes. And all because of that bitch Raegan.

If it weren't for Raegan, she wouldn't be hit by Luciana. They wouldn't humiliate her like that.

Lauren cried sadly, “Tessa, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't help you this time. I am very interested in your investment plan, but you have already seen Luciana's attitude. Plus, Raegan is pregnant now. I'm afraid Mitchel..."

Last time, Lauren pretended to be interested in Tessa's project, so they met and talked about it. He then gave Tessa a deposit of one million dollars and promised to invest more after she and Mitchel married.

"That? Is that bitch pregnant? Are you serious?

«Yes, she is pregnant. But Mitchel doesn't know it yet. I guess she wants to wait for the baby to be born, so she can use it to force Mitchel not to divorce her.

Tessa exclaimed viciously, “That bitch! Whatever your plan is, I will not let it succeed.

He held a grudge against Raegan. How could he allow Raegan to enjoy a life of luxury in the Dixon family? Furthermore, if Raegan was really pregnant, the baby was the heir to the Dixon family. It wouldn't do you any good.

Tessa gritted her teeth in anger. He turned back to Lauren and said, "Lauren, you can't just give up." You and Mitchel love each other. You must fight for him.

Lauren buried her face in her hands and cried even harder.

«Even if Mitchel loves me, it's useless. Luciana only likes Raegan and the baby she is carrying. "He won't accept me."

The evil in Tessa's eyes grew even deeper.

«Lauren, don't worry. "I will make sure Raegan's son never has the chance to see this world."

Lauren was very happy, but she didn't show it. He thought all his hard work had paid off.

She pretended to be confused.

“Tessa, what do you mean?”

Tessa's eyes darkened. She scoffed, “Lauren, wait and see. I will help you become Mrs. Dixon soon.

Lauren covered her mouth, and her eyes widened in mock disbelief.

"Tessa, you... No. Please don't do anything illegal."

«Lauren, you are too kind. That's why that bitch took advantage of you. Don't worry. Just wait for the day you and Mitchel get married.

Lauren lowered her eyes as if Tessa's words had penetrated her, and began to sob sadly.

But if one looked closer, one could see the undisguised joy in her eyes. Indeed, his efforts to please Tessa had not been in vain. She just had to feign weakness to Tessa, and Tessa would take care of Raegan for her. He could get away with it even if the truth came out one day.

Regardless, Lauren didn't openly say anything to urge Tessa to hurt Raegan. He never asked for Tessa's help in dealing with Raegan. So even if Tessa failed, it had nothing to do with her.

No one could prove his involvement in it.

At this time, Raegan had already accompanied Luciana to her room. He helped Luciana lie down on the bed.

When Luciana saw Raegan's bloodless face, she felt sad and regretful at the same time. He hated to think that Mitchel didn't treat Raegan well enough and that one day they might get divorced.

Luciana took Raegan's hand and said, "Raegan, I just saw it clearly. "Michelle didn't want to pressure you."

"I know." Raegan nodded.

But whether Mitchel did it intentionally or not, he no longer cared.

«Raegan, I understand how you feel. But don't worry. I assure you that I will only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. No one else can take your place. As long as I live, I will not let you suffer any wrong. "Kyler and I will always be by your side and protect you."

Raegan smiled bitterly. Kyler and Luciana were very good to her.

If I only wanted the title Mrs. Dixon, I should be very happy.

But maybe she was too greedy, because she didn't just want the title of Mrs. Dixon. He also wanted Mitchel's love.

However, it was impossible for Mitchel to reciprocate. It would only continue to hurt him. She could no longer bear the torment he was inflicting on her.

So Raegan raised her head and said firmly, “Luciana, I'm sorry. I have already made a decision. I really want a divorce. Please help me get it."

By then, Mitchel was already in front of the door to Luciana's room.

His face darkened as he heard Raegan's words.
