Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook -
Chapter 489
? ? ? ? ?
Before she began to embroider, Raegan had quietly ordered Judd to call the police.
The investigation revealed that the woman had sneaked into the dressing room area of Arthen Entertainment's mid-year gala to take photos of those dazzling dresses and then sold them to lesser-known studios to duplicate. This led to unfounded accusations of plagiarism by Dream Studio against Crescent.
The woman's attendance seemed fueled by her bitterness over losing her job. The fact that he knew the significant value of Casey's creations pointed to possible complicity, which the police needed to investigate.
Raegan noted, "She has a tiny mole on the edge of her lip."
She said that her intense concentration while embroidering helped her clearly remember small details of her surroundings.
Judd looked at Raegan with a newfound admiration for her thoroughness and was curious as to what other skills she might possess.
After being escorted off stage by security, Raegan walked out with Stefan.
Cameras caught Stefan placing his hand protectively behind Raegan, igniting rumors about their relationship.
A reporter tried to ask, but Raegan and Stefan had entered the elevator and Raegan refused to comment so as not to delay the elevator's exit.
Outside the hotel, a black limousine was parked on the sidewalk. Inside, a man of notable presence followed the live broadcast from his tablet, capturing every moment.
The live chat was flooded with praise and well wishes.
«It's not just about his talent or his looks. "These are two exceptionally well-matched individuals."
“Ah, the way he put his hand was so gentlemanly, and his look so affectionate. "They are the perfect couple."
«Raegan, like her mother, is stunning. “His family members are so stunning.”
Mitchel sat there, speechless. These comments deepened his thoughts and complicated his feelings. The confident, radiant Raegan he saw on the screen was very different from the girl he remembered from five years ago.
Learning that Raegan was Casey's daughter and that's why she called her studio "Crescent" took him by surprise and filled him with anxiety. Raegan's growing attractiveness meant that he could attract the attention of many suitors, possibly more suitable than him.
This thought, which hinted at the diminution of his possibilities, pierced his heart, causing him deep discomfort.
Mitchel was plunged into doubt like never before. Often during his lowest moments, he wondered if he could bear to see Raegan with someone else, leading a life without him.
But the answer eluded him. The mere thought of that possibility was distressing, as if his heart were being ripped out. Could he survive a life without Raegan? Of course not.
Firm in his belief that Raegan should be with him, Mitchel vowed to hold on to her, no matter what.
In the ground-level parking lot, Raegan and Stefan were about to get into their car when a shadowy man suddenly lunged at Raegan.
Stefan quickly pulled Raegan to safety, blocking the assailant's filthy hand.
«Get out of the way! "I'm your uncle," the man snapped.
Raegan looked at the man upon hearing this. She recognized him as Brent and her gaze turned icy.
Brent smiled cheekily at Raegan. "Hi Raegan, how long!"
Remembering his absence even during her grandmother's funeral made Raegan's expression turn even colder. "Oh, so you're still alive."
"Hey!" Brent spat on the ground repeatedly. «Cussing me, right?
I have years ahead of me!
Raegan watched Brent's unwavering, shameless demeanor. He became more indifferent. "Whatever you want. "We're leaving."
With that, Raegan moved to get into the vehicle.
Desperate, Brent grabbed Raegan and snapped, “Wait, bitch!
Listen to me…” His words were full of insults, as usual.
Stefan's expression turned icy, about to intervene, but Raegan had already deftly struck Brent's knee, making him howl in agony.
"Oh! "Oh!" Brent collapsed to the ground, cursing: “You little slut! Are you attacking me? I'm your fucking uncle, practically your father! Ungrateful! Now that you are someone, do you send away your own relatives?
Raegan replied disdainfully, “What kind of man are you, really?
Absent when your mother died, without once visiting her resting place?
Raegan remembered her trip to Tenassie with Janey, honoring the woman who had cared for her as if she were her own despite not being related by blood. On a childhood outing, Raegan got lost with her family. With memory loss of her own family due to a stroke, she was in dire straits until Brent's mother adopted her out of pity. The woman's unwavering kindness had always touched Raegan.
Raegan had asked the cemetery manager about other visitors and left her contact details, asking to be notified of anyone, but no one ever came.
Brent, startled by Raegan's mention of his mother, remembered his purpose in looking for her and hastened to soften his tone. «Oh, I had forgotten. Raegan, my family took you in. You will compensate me for my family's fees for raising you, right?
Raegan replied, "Have you already blown the three million?"
“Why dig up the past…” Looking away, Brent muttered, “I got ripped off, okay?”
Raegan suspected the money had gone to his gambling habits. «I had already paid off your debt of three million then. "It's more than enough."
His voice was icy. «I won't give you more. Go away".
Brent, desperate as Raegan turned to leave, let out a threat: “Damn you! I'll tell the press how ungrateful you are! After everything my family did for you, this is your gratitude?
Raegan's gaze was firm and cold. «Try it. Let's see what happens."
Raegan knew Brent wouldn't dare do it. Revealing yourself would attract too much unwanted attention.
As Raegan got into the car, Brent made one last claim: “Wait! I am aware of your secret.
Raegan's demeanor turned slightly icy as she stopped in her tracks.
"What secret?"
