When he was about to follow her, Mitchel intervened. Mitchel grabbed Henley by the collar and lifted him slightly off the ground.

Mitchel's eyes turned icy, and he said with emphasis, "Unfortunately, I never let anyone touch what's mine."

When Raegan turned around, she saw Mitchel grab Henley by the collar and was about to hit him. Seeing this, her anxiety spiked.

“Mitchel!" she called out to him, but he seemed deaf to her voice.

Instead, his aura grew even colder.

In a desperate move, Raegan opened her mouth and sank her teeth into Mitchel's arm.

Unfortunately, her effort was in vain. Mitchel's suit proved too tough, and she only ended up hurting her own teeth.

Mitchel froze, and the coldness that enveloped him intensified.

Raegan had bitten him, all to protect another man.

In an instant, his anger flared. With his eyes burning with rage, he demanded, “Let go of me!”

Raegan, unable to speak at the moment, glared at him with a clear message: release Henley first.

She couldn't just stand by and watch Mitchel unjustly beat someone up.

At last, Mitchel released his grip on Henley. But then, he scooped up Raegan, slid his arm under her legs, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

Then, the large bouquet of roses from Raegan's grip fell discarded on the ground and petals splayed out in disarray.

With an icy expression, Mitchel stepped over the flowers, crushing the petals beneath his feet.

The roses, once beautiful, were now damaged. Their crushed petals release their essence onto the floor.

Henley's eyes grew cold. Just as he was about to go after them, Matteo intervened.

Henley's facade of gentleness vanished. He took off his glasses and, suddenly, Launched a powerful punch at Matteo.

Although caught off guard for a second, Matteo returned the punch.

Soon after, the two began to grapple fiercely.
