Truth be told, Raegan was fully capable of raising Janey on her own.

Had it not been for Janey's envy of children from intact families, Raegan wouldn't have considered finding Janey a stepfather.

The Cullen family and the Foster family had a _ long-standing relationship. To avoid any strain on their relationship, Raegan chose not to disclose the details of the previous night. Instead, she simply said that Darryl and she were not a good match. Now, there was no need for her to cover up for him. She believed him to be nothing more than a callous jerk.

Raegan retrieved her phone and played a recorded conversation for Anabella. As the content unfolded, Anabella's expression darkened.

She offered sincere apologies to Raegan and Janey before grabbing Darryl by the ear and dragging him out of the villa.

Although Darryl had earned a playboy reputation, he dared not challenge his mother's wrath. He endured Anabella's scolding until they sat together in the car.

This day marked a humiliating experience for Darryl, leaving him seething with resentment. Through gritted teeth, he vowed, “Just wait and see, Raegan Foster!"

In the afternoon, Raegan reached out to Erick over the phone. "Hey Erick, are you free today? I need your help to pick up Elin from the airport."

Surprised, Erick blurted out, "Why is she here?"

Raegan replied, slightly irritated, "What's the matter with you? She is here to visit Annis."

Elin was Annis’ daughter, around the same age as Raegan. They used to play together when they were little.

Although they lost touch after Raegan went missing, fate brought them back together five years ago.

Upon reuniting, Elin and Raegan instantly hit it off.

Raegan realized she hadn't filled Erick in on the plan and added, “Oh, by the way, I have decided to make Elin the design director of my studio. So, she will be staying here for a while. Janey loves her.

Isn't that fantastic?"

Raegan expressed her excitement, but Erick remained unresponsive.

After a prolonged silence, he tersely replied with a "yes."

Raegan suddenly remembered something and said vigilantly, "Keep an eye on Dayton, Erick. Just in case he bothers Elin again in Ardlens.

After all, it was your idea to introduce Dayton to Elin. He not only cheated on her but also mistreated her. You remember when he nearly killed her, right?"

“Don't worry. I won't let it happen again," Erick assured.
