Chapter 466 Henley, caught off guard, stumbled backward, colliding with the wall.

In the blink of an eye, Mitchel's foot connected, sending Henley crashing to the ground. His knee pressed hard against Henley's throat.

Mitchel's cold, lacquer-black eyes bore into Henley, chilling as he hissed, "You're seeking death!" With a bruised face already, Henley's situation worsened with each blow from Mitchel, swelling up half of his face.

The injuries painted a gloomy picture of his predicament.

Henley chuckled. "Mitchel, lacking confidence? Just chatting up Raegan gets you this worked up. Imagine if I had taken her to bed. Would you be even more riled?" Deliberately slowing his speech, Henley ensured only the two of them could hear, his every word dripping with mockery.

Henley licked his cracked lips, taunting. "No wonder I've been fixated on Raegan all these years. She's such a beauty. I couldn't help it." Enraged, Mitchel's fists became a relentless barrage, raining blows down upon Henley, leaving Henley choked and powerless against the onslaught.

No one dared to step in Spotting someone filming, Raegan swiftly grabbed Mitchel's arm. "Mitchel, knock it off!" Unsatisfied, Mitchel hurled another punch before finally releasing Henley.

Now, Henley's once-handsome face resembled a bruised canvas, a real sight for sore eyes.

"Tug along, Mitchel. Let's head to your office, Raegan insisted.

They couldn't afford any more public spectacle. Raegan knew all too well that Mitchel, as the CEO, losing his cool in front of the staff would spread like wildfire. His already shaky standing in the company would plummet further, fueled by this incident.

Moreover, without grasping the full picture, people would naturally side with the apparent underdog.
