Raegan hesitated, not wanting to follow, but two bodyguards blocked her path, giving her no option.

With reluctance, she stepped into the lounge where she found Mitchel by the window, lighting a cigarette.

As smoke curled around him, Mitchel’s striking profile was accentuated.

Raegan was caught off guard.

He seldom smoked, especially not around her, knowing her dislike for secondhand smoke.

Fortunately, Mitchel extinguished the cigarette shortly after Raegan entered and gestured for her to sit.

Raegan’s legs were aching and she was grateful for the chance to sit down.

Despite the relief, her expression remained cool and detached as she began, “Mr.

Dixon, I have obligations to attend to, and you have no right to detain me.

If you genuinely believe I pushed…”

She hesitated, struggling with the next words, but managed to continue, “Your fiancée.

Then, you should hand me over to the police, rather than unlawfully restricting my freedom.

Mitchel met her statement with an icy stare.

“How can you be so certain you’ll emerge unscathed if you go to the police?” he questioned.

Raegan smirked in response.

“That’s none of your business.

The truth will prevail, and justice will be served.

“Naive,” Mitchel retorted, his expression growing darker, which sent a chill through Raegan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Mitchel’s faint voice permitted entry with a simple, “Come in.

Mitchel’s assistant stepped inside, holding a phone in his hands.

He respectfully extended it toward Mitchel, saying, “Mr.

Dixon, please check this.

Mitchel took the phone with an air of nonchalance.

Raegan’s eyes widened in shock as she recognized the device as her own white phone.

Her astonishment deepened when Mitchel, without a word, pressed the phone to her face and played a recording.

The voices from Raegan’s earlier conversation with Katie filled the room.

“Are you going to step aside?”

“Raegan, why can’t you just vanish? You’re a constant affront to me, a repulsive reminder of everything I despise!”

“Let go! Leave me alone!”

The recording stopped abruptly after a terrified scream echoed, leaving a tense silence in its wake.

Before the incident, as soon as Raegan saw Katie, suspicion crept in, prompting her to record their conversation.

She had no malicious intent.

She merely wished to avoid being unjustly victimized further.

Earlier, when Mitchel forced Raegan into the car, Raegan had handed her phone to the factory owner, asking the latter to contact Erick.

Yet now, her phone was in Mitchel’s possession, revealing that he had discovered it.

Raegan’s complexion paled as she reached out to snatch her phone back.

“Give it back.
