Chapter 368

? ? ? ? ?

“Raegan, you don't have to be so polite to me,” Mitchel said in a low, magnetic voice. But it sounded a little hoarse due to the sleepless nights.

Mitchel's tightly clenched fists behind his back slowly relaxed. The others never noticed this series of subtle gestures.

Mitchel smiled contemptuously. He never thought that one day he would become so cautious about hiding his emotions. But he didn't care. He was already glad that Raegan didn't reject his help. He even thanked him.

After thanking Mitchel, Raegan turned to Stefan and asked, "Did you buy me a new phone?"

“Yes,” Stefan replied, handing the new phone to Raegan. It was the same as the previous one.

Raegan picked it up and used it for a while.

Raegan then turned to Mitchel and said, "Mr. Dixon, I just transferred one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to your bank account."

Mitchel's handsome face instantly paled. He pressed his thin lips into a straight line. Then he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Raegan curled her lips and quickly lowered her gaze. Then, his expression returned to normal. «I have calculated it based on the annual salary of the legal department of the Dixon Group. Although it is less than an hour, I have counted it as one hour. Thank you very much for your help."

As soon as he said this, the spacious room fell silent.

Mitchel stood still for a moment. Sadness and shame filled his deep eyes. He didn't expect her to draw a clear line between them. Raegan was willing to let Stefan buy her a phone. But when it came to him, she had to meticulously account for such a trivial matter.

Mitchel couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have to draw a clear line between us?" His voice shook as he tried to suppress his emotions.

"Mr. Dixon, please don't say that. Why should I draw a line? I have never had any relationship with you, so there is no need to draw any lines.

Please stop getting ahead of yourself. My family can afford to pay lawyers. "Besides, I haven't done anything wrong, so there's really no need for you to do it," Raegan replied calmly.

The implication of Raegan's words was clear. Mitchel had to mind his business.

Raegan was sensible. She had to thank Mitchel for helping her and she had to pay for it. That way, they would be at peace and wouldn't owe each other anything.

Still, Raegan sensed something was wrong. He had never drugged anyone. So even if his fingerprints were on the paper bag, it didn't matter. He believed the police would be fair in their investigation and prove his innocence.

Why Cary accused her of drugging him remained a mystery to Raegan. With this question in mind, he left the police station without paying attention to Mitchel's displeased expression.

After a moment's pause, Mitchel frowned and followed Raegan.

Outside the police station, Stefan quickly walked to the passenger seat and opened the door for Raegan.

Watching them from afar, Mitchel realized that he didn't feel much pain seeing them after his heart was shaken. He was almost numb.

Mitchel told himself to endure it. After all, he had waited so long for Raegan to come back into his life. He had to avoid doing things she hated. I wouldn't let it disappear again.

Raegan was about to get into Stefan's car when her phone rang. It was Annis who was calling.

Raegan hit the answer button and said cheerfully, “Annis, I'm on my way home. Did you pick up Janey from daycare?

On the other end of the line, Annis could no longer control her panic. “Janey is missing!”

Hearing Annis' words about Janey's disappearance, Raegan's legs turned to jelly. «Annis, what do you mean by that? Where was Janey last seen?

What exactly had happened?

Annis said between sobs: “At that time, the driver and I were already out of the nursery before the bell rang. We were waiting for Janey to come out. But the door of the nursery was crowded with people who kept saying that they were looking for that bad woman's son. The bad woman they were referring to was you. They said there were videos on the Internet that proved it.

I had no idea what was happening. When I finally slipped through the crowd and entered the daycare, the teacher told me that Janey had probably hidden somewhere in the daycare out of fear. "The teachers said they hadn't found Janey yet."

When Raegan heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

His face instantly turned pale and his legs became weak. But he forced himself to speak. «Annis, keep looking for her. "Now I'm going."

Stefan overheard Raegan's conversation with Annis on the phone. He didn't ask any questions and started the car without hesitation. He turned to Raegan and comforted her, “Calm down. Janey will be fine.

Let's see what exactly happens."

Behind them, Mitchel was standing in front of the vehicle. Although he didn't hear anything, he saw Raegan get scared and exclaim something into the phone. Even from a distance, he sensed how anxious she was. He wondered what had happened.

Then, Mitchel watched Stefan's car drive away. His face darkened instantly.

He quickly got into the car and ordered: "Follow them."

In the car.

"Mr. Dixon, something's up!" Matteo said after checking the latest news.

When Mitchel saw Matteo's solemn expression, a bad feeling arose in his heart. He asked nervously: "What's wrong?"

«The video of the dinner that Miss Foster attended last night has gone viral. They say that…” Matteo paused. I didn't know if I should continue or not.

Mitchel's face turned cold. He asked, "What did they say?"

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Matteo cautiously responded, “Some netizens claim that Miss Foster tried to seduce Cary, the head of Sino Entertainment, for business reasons. They speculated that he drugged Cary and recorded a video that he could use to blackmail him and thus seal cooperation. Worse still, they even claimed that it was not the first time he had played such a trick.

After a pause, Matteo pronounced the rest of the sentence with difficulty: "The... They call her a whore."

Hearing this, the expression on Mitchel's face changed radically.

Matteo continued: «Public opinion has fermented in just two hours. "It seems like someone is behind it." Cary's wife had made a statement, accusing Miss Foster of being..."
