Chapter 260 The Crazy Mitchel

Nicole was puzzled.

Why did Jarrod say such ambiguous words to her? Nicole was no longer a teenager.

Jarrod's implications made her uneasy.

His confession, far from sweet, left her feeling unsettled.

As Jarrod was about to speak again, Jamie arrived.

Exiting the car, Jarrod and Jamie exchanged a few words beside the car.

Jamie's anger erupted into tears.She glared through the car window with a fierce look.

Nicole caught fragments of their conversation, something about an apology.

Perhaps Jamie expected her to apologize personally.

Jarrod, aware that Nicole wouldn't apologize to Jamie, suggested Jamie abandon the idea.

Eventually, Jarrod managed to calm Jamie and guide her back to her car.

When the police arrived, Nicole claimed she had accidentally called the police during an argument withher boyfriend.

The officers questioned her further about the incident and inspected the villa but found nothing.

Before leaving, one officer lectured Nicole.Then, Nicole left in Alec's car.

As Alec's car and Jarrod’s car passed, Jarrod's meaningful glance unsettled Nicole.

In that instant, Nicole felt a chill run through her.

Uncertain and anxious, she pondered Jarrod’s next move.

Had it not for the medical experts Jarrod had introduced to her father, Nicole would have left thisinstant.

Taking out her phone, she texted someone, "I'll be ready in ten days.Is everything set?"

"Everything's arranged," the receiver replied.

Relieved, Nicole deleted the messages.

She resolved not to engage in Jarrod’s games, and planned to leave Ardlens with her parents.

Raegan had been grounded by Mitchel.

She had been at home alone for five days, and Mitchel didn't show up since they met last time.

The maid, a familiar face, diligently brought meals to her room but was forbidden from engaging inconversation with Raegan.

Once, Raegan attempted to borrow a cell phone from the maid, but to her disappointment, the maiddidn't possess one.

Raegan's days consisted of eating, sleeping, and watching TV, doing good for her condition.

During her confinement, Raegan scrutinized the windows,searching for an escape route, but the villa'sdesign thwarted her plans.

On the evening of the fifth day, Mitchel returned.

Hearing the door, a flicker of excitement passed through Raegan and was quickly suppressed.

The solitude had begun to affect her.

Mitchel entered with a calm demeanor.

Raegan yearned to speak but found herself at a loss for words.

Mitchel merely glanced at her before heading to the bathroom for a shower, leaving Raegan alone withthe sound of running water.

The sound brought back unsettling memories of a crazy night.

A night when, after pleading, Mitchel had shown her a bit of mercy, yet the duration had beenunbearable for Raegan.

She pondered what had driven Mitchel to such extremes.

Determined to initiate a calm conversation that night, Raegan waited for Mitchel.

Mitchel emerged from the shower, less intimidating in navy blue pajamas, his hair damp.

Seeking to ease the tension, Raegan asked casually, "Have you eaten dinner?"

"Yes," Mitchel responded succinctly.

“Are you thirsty?" she continued, intent on breaking the ice.

Mitchel held her gaze for a moment, then nodded.Raegan hesitantly poured a glass of water forMitchel, who was casually leaning against the bed, absorbed in the latest magazine.

As she hesitated to hand him the glass, Mitchel swiftly grasped her wrist.

He set the glass on the bedside table and, with a gentle pull, Raegan found herself unexpectedlyseated across his lap, her cheeks flushing with surprise.

"Ah!"

Startled, Raegan let out a cry.She attempted to rise, but Mitchel firmly held her ankle.

He rubbed the protruding bones of her ankle casually as he asked with an icy tone, "Do you havesomething to tell me?"

Trying to remain calm, Raegan replied, "I've work to attend to.May I go to the company tomorrow?"

"You needn't bother with that anymore."

Confused and alarmed, Raegan responded, "What do you mean?"

Mitchel revealed, "I've arranged your resignation with your manager.You're free from work now.Aren'tyou pleased?"

This news infuriated Raegan.

She had intended for a civil conversation, but anger got the better part of her.

"Mitchel, you had no right to decide that for me! It was my job, my decision.Why would you do thiswithout asking me?"

His overbearing nature was unmistakable.

This time, her frustration reached new heights.

"Do you need to ask why?"

Mitchel retorted, his hand moving toChapter 260 The Crazy Mitche her chin, his sneer chilling.

"Because I'm your husband."

His smile was cold, sending a shiver down Raegan’'s spine.

Fear gripped Raegan, reminding her of that harrowing night.

She worried that any further provocation might lead to a repeat of that dreadful experience.

At the thought of this, Raegan said softly, “Mitchel, I'm telling the truth.There's nothing between Henleyand me.Please don't let your suspicions lead to false accusations."

"Suspicions?"

Mitchel echoed, his tone laced with ambiguity.

Raegan nodded, her words tumbling out in haste, "It's true.I really have nothing to do with Henley.Whycan't you believe that?"

After speaking, Raegan instantly regretted her anxious tone.

She glanced at Mitchel, fearing his reaction.

Mitchel's demeanor turned frosty.

"You work for Henley's company, yet you claim there's no connection?"

Raegan's confusion was evident.

What did Mitchel imply by saying she worked for Henley's company? She had never been aware of anyconnection between the company she worked for and Henley.

Mitchel showed Raegan a document on his laptop, revealing that the company she worked for wasacquired by Henley the day after she joined.

The manager she knew was merely a figurehead.

Rushing to clarify, Raegan insisted, "I had no idea about this.I swear.”Mitchel's eyes, however,remained skeptical, not convinced by her words.

Raegan's panic surged.

The thought of prolonged confinement was unbearable.

"He threatened me.If you doubt me, let me confront him directly!"

"Confront him?"

Mitchel sneered, "What would you expect from a man who's now a vegetable?"

"What?"

Stunned, Raegan stared at Mitchel.

"Henley...He's in a vegetative state?"

Raegan's shock was palpable.

The idea of Henley being reduced to a vegetative state was beyond her wildest expectations.

The look of disbelief on Raegan's face morphed into sorrow, a sight that seemed strikingly out of placeto Mitchel.

His eyes narrowed with suspicion.

"Are you saddened by this?"

Raegan, caught off guard by his query, shook her head quickly.

"No, it's just hard to comprehend..."

Henley and Raegan had known each other for a long time.

Raegan wasn't one to be callous or unfeeling.

Moreover, despite what Henley had done, he had never truly harmed her.

At that critical moment, he had made a concerted effort to shield her.

Raegan's absent-minded look only fueled Mitchel's growing ire.Mitchel had stayed away for five days,struggling with the fear of losing control and harming Raegan again.

He had tried to suppress his thoughts, but each new revelation only stoked the flames of his anger.

Suddenly, his expression darkened.

He pushed Raegan onto the bed, his hand moving under her dress.

Raegan, terrified, stammered out an explanation, "I wasn't aware of any link between Henley and thecompany I worked for.His threat was real.Why can't you trust me, Mitchel?"

Mitchel's piercing gaze bore into her.

"Then explain why Henley would leave all his wealth and assets to you?"
