At the thought of this, Raegan said softly, "Mitchel, I'm telling the truth.

There's nothing between Henley and me. Please don't let your suspicions lead to false accusations."

"Suspicions?" Mitchel echoed, his tone laced with ambiguity.

Raegan nodded, her words tumbling out in haste, "It's true. I really have nothing to do with Henley. Why can't you believe that?"

After speaking, Raegan instantly regretted her anxious tone.

She glanced at Mitchel, fearing his reaction.

Angela's Library

Mitchel's demeanor turned frosty. "You work for Henley's company, yet you claim there's no connection?"

Raegan's confusion was evident. What did Mitchel imply by saying she worked for Henley's company? She had never been aware of any connection between the company she worked for and Henley.

Mitchel showed Raegan a document on his laptop, revealing that the company she worked for was acquired by Henley the day after she joined.

The manager she knew was merely a figurehead.

Rushing to clarify, Raegan insisted, "I had no idea about this. I swear."

Mitchel's eyes, however, remained skeptical, not convinced by her words.

Raegan's panic surged. The thought of prolonged confinement was unbearable.

"He threatened me. If you doubt me, let me confront him directly!"

"Confront him?" Mitchel sneered, "What would you expect from a man who's now a vegetable?"

"What?" Stunned, Raegan stared at Mitchel. "Henley... He's in a vegetative state?"

Raegan's shock was palpable.

The idea of Henley being reduced to a vegetative state was beyond her wildest expectations.

The look of disbelief on Raegan's face morphed into sorrow, a sight that seemed strikingly out of place to Mitchel.

His eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Are you saddened by this?"

Raegan, caught off guard by his query, shook her head quickly. "No, it's just hard to comprehend..."

Henley and Raegan had known each other for a long time. Raegan wasn't one to be callous or unfeeling.

Moreover, despite what Henley had done, he had never truly harmed her. At that critical moment, he had made a concerted effor to shield her.

Raegan's absent-minded look only fueled Mitchel's growing ire.
