Mitchel's Heroic Deed Alexis noticed Raegan's pale face and thought he had been right about her being easily panicked.
However, as he recalled how Mitchel would dare disobey him for her, he clenched his teeth in anger.
Yet, Alexis had no idea that Mitchel's injury had occurred while saving Raegan.
He assumed it was an accident, which made him less conceited.
"Now that you two are divorced, you should distance yourself from Mitchel and stop pestering him," Alexis snarled.
Alexis' eyes shone with contempt as he continued to berate Raegan, "No self-respecting woman would be as annoying as you!”
Alexis would not bother with someone as insignificant as Raegan.
However, what Mitchel said the other day had revealed his deep concern for Raegan, which greatly troubled Alexis.
Though Mitchel and he often disagreed, Mitchel usually remained indifferent to him and seldom directly defied him.
Now, seeing Raegan in person, Alexis realized why Mitchel had been acting out of character.
He suspected Raegan's beauty had bewitched Mitchel.
Therefore, he was determined to take control of the situation before it got worse.
As Alexis turned to leave, Raegan clenched her fists and spoke up.
"I understand your concerns for Mitchel, but I disagree with you." Alexis stopped in his tracks and turned back to face Raegan
with a dark expression.
Raegan lifted her gaze and continued in a neutral tone, "J don’t think there's anything shameful about my background.” Despite
her humble background and losing her parents at a young age, Raegan never lost hope, nor did she see herself as less than
anyone.
On the contrary, she considered herself lucky to have a caring grandmother, who loved her dearly.
Her inferiority around Mitchel stemmed from his exceptional achievements in all aspects.
In his early twenties, Mitchel earned a double major bachelor's degree abroad and set a record in his early Wall Street career.

Mitchel’s accomplishments in the business world were unmatched globally, especially considering his young age.
Of course, the difference in their family backgrounds played a role, but Raegan's primary goal was to grow stronger.

She did not necessarily aim to match him, but to excel in her own field.
Alexis did not expect Raegan would have the courage to challenge his words.
Suddenly, Alexis’ expression darkened even more, and his eyes brimmed with scorn.
"Young lady, don't be so naive.
Let me tell you something.

you, born without privilege, will never stand equal to those born with a silver spoon!” His words, though illogical, were often effective. Anyone lacking mental resilience would quickly succumb to his words that were designed to brainwash and belittle the individual. However, Raegan had faced many challenges over the years. Despite life's hardships, she remained resilient and optimistic. She would not be brought down by Alexis ‘ bullshit. "If you deem yourself as a man of high status, I hope your mindset matches it. You know, it's rude to look at others through such a narrow lens,” Raegan calmly retorted. This implied that Alexis was the kind of person who stood tall yet

dared to defy him, he would finish her. Alexis’ viciousness took Raegan by surprise. No wonder Mitchel rarely spoke of his father. The gap between them was insurmountable. As Raegan said nothing, Alexis assumed she

"As for your two-year marriage with him, I'll take it like Mitchel had summoned a prostitute for his needs.
You've had your taste of a wealthy life.
Now leave, and don’t you dare come back to Mitchel.” His crass words filled Raegan with disgust.
Raegan fixed her gaze on Alexis and asked pointedly, "Tell me, what are you so afraid of?” Alexis faltered for a moment.
The truth was, he said those harsh words for fear Raegan might reunite with Mitchel, which would derail his plans.
"Me, afraid? Don't be ridiculous.
You think you can intimidate me?" Alexis retorted with false bravado.
"To tell you the truth, Mitchel came to me last night, asking me to discuss an engagement with the Benton family.
The wedding ceremony will be held soon enough.” Engagement? Mitchel planned to propose to Eloise Benton? Raegan felt as if
she had been struck by lightning.
If Mitchel was set on marrying Eloise, why had he risked his life for her and spoken those heartfelt words to her? Noticing

satisfaction. How dare this woman challenge him! She had clearly overestimated herself. "As Mitchel's father, it's only right for me to remove any nuisances for my future daughter-in-law, unless...” Alexis looked at Raegan with contempt and continued, "You intend to be Mitchel's mistress.” His words, laced with disdain, made Raegan feel as though she was in a pressure

and shot back, "You don't have to worry about it. I refuse to
