Chapter 489 Startled, Raegan's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively moved to exit the elevator.

Yet, before she could leave the elevator, the doors had already begun to close, sealing their descent.

Standing beside Raegan, the man was incognito, hiding beneath a baseball cap and a mask, his features obscured from view.

Raegan stood upright, her body poised and vigilant.

Time ticked by slowly.

While Raegan's attention remained focused on the descending floor numbers displayed on the elevator panel, she maintained a vigilant watch over the man's every movement from the corner of her eye. She refused to let her guard down for even a moment.

Observing the man's cautious glances around, Raegan remained on high alert.

The person behind Raegan managed to evade the blow slightly, allowing Raegan the chance to dash toward the waiting car. However, her escape was halted by a deep voice calling out her name. "Raegan..."
