Chapter 320 How Can You Not Hate Me

Matteo felt uneasy, suspecting Mitchel was dragging things out on purpose. Clearly, Mitchel wanted to spend more time with Raegan.

Luis, flashing a big grin, joked, "Looks like I should keep my distance, or Raegan might start giving me the cold shoulder." Mitchel glanced at Luis and remarked coldly, "What valuable insights could I expect from you, Mr. Forever Single?"

Luis was rendered speechless. He was single, but so what? Mitchel added, "On that note, I know a young lady from a wealthy family who might be just right for you."

Luis's smile widened. "Don't worry about me. Plenty of women find me attractive. I don't need any introductions."

"But it's Sadie Miller."

"You've got to be joking!" Luis exclaimed in shock. "Sadie Miller, that wild one? Do you hate me or something, bro?"

Sadie Miller was notorious for her unusual actions, stopping at nothing to win over the man she fancied. The last guy who caught Sadie's attention had to flee to another country to escape her relentless pursuit. That man vowed never to return to Ardlens for as long as he lived.

What made things more complicated was Sadie's past interest in Luis during their teenage years.

However, Luis moved overseas later, so Sadie never got the chance to act on her feelings.

It had been quite a while since Luis came back to Ardlens, and it seemed Sadie had lost interest in him.

But the mere thought of those days when Sadie chased after him filled Luis with dread.

"I swear, if you try setting me up with Sadie, I'll have to play matchmaker for Raegan with other young guys! Ardlens is full of wealthy, eager young men these days..." Luis said.

Before Luis could finish his words, Mitchel cut him off, "Miss Miller." O

Luis replied with a relaxed tone, "Cut the crap, could you? Don't even try to use this name to intimidate me. I'm not scared of..."

"Mitchel!" A crisp female voice cut off Luis.

Instantly, Luis clutched his head and silently cursed Mitchel, "You son of a bitch!"

Mitchel, however, just ignored Luis and turned to Sadie, saying casually, "It's been a while. Luis, why don't you greet Sadie? You two haven't met each other for years."
