If You Dare To Run Again, I'll Break Your Legs Very well? What did Mitchel mean by that? Jocelyn and Lauren exchanged a
puzzled glance, but neither dared to say a word.
They could not fathom what Mitchel was trying to say.
At last, Mitchel broke the silence.
"One slap for each word.
Kyle, do it exactly as I said.
Don't skip a single word." "Mitchel!" Lauren cried out, her voice tinged with fear.
She was shocked.
She never imagined Mitchel would go to such lengths to defend Raegan.
To her, harming Jocelyn was like a slap in her own face.
If she let Mitchel beat Jocelyn, standing as Mitchel’s equal would be off the table from here on out.
Therefore, she would not allow it to happen.
Absolutely not! Suddenly, with a resounding thud, Jocelyn fell to her knees in front of Mitchel and implored, "Mr.
Dixon, I know I was wrong.
I had no right to bully Miss Hayes.
Please, I'm begging you, forgive me." "I don't think you get it.” Mitchel stared at Jocelyn with a piercing gaze, which grew intense
by the second, and continued, "Raegan is my wife.
No one gets to mess with her.” Though his voice sounded indifferent, it carried a lot of weight.
Lauren's expression shifted in an instant.
She sensed that Mitchel's words were not just aimed at teaching Jocelyn a lesson.
He was also firing a warning shot her way.

Damn it! This was all Raegan's fault! At this moment, Lauren held back the fury and hatred in her eyes and tearfully said,
"Mitchel, Jocelyn has been like a mother to me.
She's been taking care of me since the day I was born.
And she's in her sixties now.
A slap could be dangerous for her.
Is that what you want? Could you please show some mercy?" Mitchel looked into Lauren's eyes, his own cold and unforgiving.
"Lauren, maybe it’s time for you to change your maid.
Keeping her around could tarnish the Murray family’s name.” A look of shock, disbelief, and confusion flashed across Lauren's
face.
She never thought Mitchel, who had always fulfilled her every need, would ignore her plead and say something so callous.
Did he not care about her anymore? Mitchel averted his eyes and took Raegan's hand.

Noticing Raegan's reddened palm, he frowned and asked with concern, "Didn't I tell you to leave everything to me? Does it
hurt?" Caught off guard, Raegan was stunned for a few seconds and then shook her head in response.
“I'm fine.
It doesn't hurt.” Mitchel cradled her hand with one hand and caressed her head with the other.
"Let's go home.” "Alright," Raegan meekly responded.
There was a single strand of hair resting around her neck.
With a gentle motion, Mitchel brushed away the stray hair, and, hand in hand, they walked away.
The sound of a slap echoed sharply as Jocelyn struck her own face, all under Kyle's watchful eye.

Mitchel's stipulation. She did not dare to skimp on the

that her distressed state would bring him back to her. As Lauren expected, Mitchel paused in his tracks. He glanced at Raegan, let go of her hand, and said, "Hold on a sec." With that, he strode quickly back toward Lauren. As Lauren lay on the floor with eyes brimming with tears, she watched as Mitchel approached her. From the looks of it, her trick had worked. She suppressed a satisfied smile and whined, "Mitchel... It hurts...

like an outsider. She saw with her own eyes just how deeply Mitchel

Of course, she also caught the smug smile on Lauren's face as she was nestled in his arms.
If this had happened before, her heart would have shattered into a million pieces.
But now, she felt strangely indifferent.
Perhaps it was because she had given it her all, or maybe she had grown used to Mitchel's absence for Lauren's sake.
Either way, maybe it was for the best.
Raegan hugged herself against the cold, turned around, and walked away alone.
When she got home, she was so exhausted she went straight upstairs and strode over to the suitcase she had already packed.
Just as she grasped the handle, a large hand stopped her.
Next thing she knew, she felt a strong grip around her waist from behind.
"Where are you going?” Mitchel's deep voice resonated above her head.
Raegan was stunned to hear him.
Hadn't he just left to be with Lauren? Mitchel tightened his hold around Raegan's waist and spun her around to face him.
His eyes were narrowed, and he seemed to be in deep thought.
"It looks like I need to find a way to keep you here.” Otherwise, Raegan would probably run away at any moment.
As for Mitchel, well, he was not shy about his desire to keep her close.
Raegan instinctively took a step back and looked him straight in the eye.
