Chapter 290

? ? ? ? ?

Mitchel had stayed away for five days, fighting the fear of losing control and hurting Raegan again.

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

Suddenly, his expression darkened. He pushed Raegan onto the bed and put his hand under her dress.

Raegan, terrified, stammered an explanation: “I didn't know of any connection between Henley and the company he worked for. His threat was real. Why can't you trust me, Mitchel?

Mitchel's penetrating gaze fixed on her. “Then explain to me why Henley would leave all his wealth and assets to you.”

When Henley's assistant announced her vegetative state at the hospital, Gerda was so distraught that she almost fainted.

Raegan was equally stunned. Why would Henley have left his entire fortune to her? Such a turn of events seemed incomprehensible.

Mitchel, his eyes darkening, asked, "Can you explain this?"

Raegan opened her mouth but remained silent, speechless.

Mitchel's gaze grew colder, still mistakenly thinking that Raegan was pregnant with Henley. Despite what Henley had done, he had to admit that Henley was quite thoughtful in offering financial help for the unborn child in Raegan's womb.

Thinking of that, Mitchel's heart seemed to be torn by some invisible wobble.

He pinched Raegan's chin, his tone icy. “Say something!” His anger intensified, his grip tightened.

Raegan, on the verge of tears, stammered, "What do you expect me to say?"

«Didn't you try to explain it to me a moment ago? Continue."

Raegan felt completely confused. Without understanding the situation herself, how was she going to clarify it?

Mitchel, increasingly agitated by her silence, lost the composure he had tried to maintain.

Mitchel's words dripped with sarcasm: "Raegan, do you enjoy flirting with others while you make advances on me?"

With tears filling her eyes, Raegan replied, "When did I ever cross you?"

Mitchel scoffed, "Why did you kiss me when you visited me in the hospital, even after I told you I didn't want to see you?"

“I…” Raegan opened her mouth to respond but found no words.

Mitchel continued bitterly: “Can't you defend yourself? Let me answer for you.

Mitchel's anger, fueled by past grievances involving Henley, caused him to blurt out harshly, "Do you just enjoy making out and being a slut?"

"You!" Raegan was livid at his insulting words. What a bastard Mitchel was! A real asshole.

His harsh words cut deep. Raegan felt a wave of injustice, struggling to maintain her composure.
