What Do You Want, Mitchel Bryce did not have the courage to resist Hector.
And when he was confronted, he denied it.
"I never said that.
Hector knows I don't like reading.
How could I ask you to get a book?” He turned his back to Hector and made a face at Raegan in defiance.
"Raegan, you set me up.” Despite Bryce’s sudden change of attitude, Raegan remained calm and brandished her phone.
"] recorded everything just now." In an instant, Bryce's expression shifted.
"Damn it! You're so devious.
How could you trick me?” "If you hadn't tried to frame me, how could I have the chance to do the same to you?" Raegan calmly
replied.
Fuming, Bryce turned to Hector with pleading eyes and asked, "Do you believe her?” Hector was silent for a minute and then
said, "Apologize to Raegan!" Bryce'’s face darkened, and he deflated like a punctured balloon.
"No!" Bryce protested.
Hector looked him in the eye and asked, "Do you want to return to Swynborough?" Slowly, Bryce lowered his head and
murmured an apology reluctantly.
Knowing Bryce hadn't realized his faults, Hector stared at Bryce and urged him to make a more serious apology to Raegan.
Bryce stole a glance at Raegan, not sure if she was laughing at him.
It was such a humiliation to face the music in front of Raegan without driving her away.
Having just celebrated his 18th birthday, Bryce considered himself a grown man.
And now, he felt indignant after being asked to apologize to Raegan for his prank.
With bloodshot eyes, he roared, "I didn't mess with any of you!” With that, he stormed off to his room.

Raegan was surprised by this twist of events.
After all, Hector once said he had wrongly brought Bryce up to be such a spoiled kid.
She had assumed Hector wouldn't be tough on Bryce's wrongdoing.
She had to admit, though, that she, too, had felt the urge to discipline Bryce herself when Bryce was being unreasonable.
But this was not her concern.
After a moment of thought, Raegan said, "Hector, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now.” Hector donned his coat at once and led
the way.
"We're headed in the same direction.
Let's go together." Raegan hesitated and racked her brain on how to decline Hector's offer.
After all, Hector was Bryce's father and also Mitchel's uncle.

She would rather not get too involved with him.
As she reached the door, Hector's flashy sports car was already revving.
Upon seeing her, Hector rolled down the window and glanced at his watch, indicating he was in a hurry.
"Get in.” Since it appeared they really were headed the same way, refusing now would seem contrived.
So, Raegan reluctantly got into his car.
The car had only two seats, so Raegan had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
After fastening her seatbelt, the car surged forward.
While they were at a red light, Hector unexpectedly asked, “Can we talk about something?” Raegan was taken aback and

Hector, who was focused on the road, said flatly, "I don't have any woman around me, but occasionally I need to satisfy my physiological needs.” Raegan felt bewildered. He did not have to say that, and she did not want to hear his explanation. Feeling somehow uncomfortable, Raegan bluntly asked, “What are you trying to say?” Hector took a moment and calmly stated, "You're Bryce's teacher. I don't want you to get the wrong idea." Upon hearing this, Raegan met his gaze and assured him, "Mr. Dixon, my job only concerns students, not their parents. You don't need to be concerned about that.” The distinction between students and their

"Don't worry.
I'm committed to teaching him well." "I'd appreciate if you could also pay attention to his personal development, not just his
academics.” "Of course.
And I haven't yet thanked you for what you did for my grandmother.
I'll make sure Bryce receives the best education in return." As they halted at a red light, Hector glanced at Raegan and, to her
surprise, chuckled.
"You're always so polite to me and keep your distance.
I thought you'd forgotten me.” "No, I remember what you did at the nursing house.
It's something I'm truly grateful for," Raegan earnestly replied.
Hector acknowledged her gratitude but steered the topic elsewhere.
“There's no need for such formality.” “What?” Raegan uttered in surprise.
On second thought, she realized it made sense.
Perhaps her excessive formality made him feel odd.
Hector cast a quick glance at her and then added, "And about Mitchel and you..." Upon hearing Mitchel's name, Raegan felt a
sudden jolt.
"I have nothing to do with him," she asserted.
