Seemingly oblivious to Luis' comments, Mitchel remained silent, fully engrossed in Raegan and her friends' conversation.

"They seem to be discussing finding a boyfriend for Raegan," Luis said with a mischievous grin. "Bro, it appears you've made a slip-up this time. There's no room for error now."

“Not gonna happen," Mitchel retorted, lifting his glass and downing its contents. He was resolute in winning Raegan back.

Mitchel was committed to rekindling Raegan's love, and he swore to himself that he wouldn't resort to forcing her to stay by his side.

In Mitchel's mind, Raegan's earlier ploy to trick him into divorce mattered little. What truly mattered was making her fall in love with him all over again.

As Luis gazed at the red-haired woman with narrowed eyes, an inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over him. After pondering for a while, he finally recalled that she bore a striking resemblance to Nicole Lawrence, the daughter of the Lawrence family.

However, as he listened to the woman's voice, which had a slightly rougher quality entirely different from Nicole's, Luis was puzzled.

His curiosity got the better of him, and he was about to steal a glimpse of the woman's face. To his surprise, all three of them suddenly stood up and departed.

Mitchel didn't join their departure. Instead, he phoned Matteo, requesting that he keep a watchful eye on Raegan to ensure her safe return home.

Just then, Jarrod happened to arrive, diverting Luis' attention from his earlier thoughts. If the red-haired woman truly was Nicole, Jarrod would be beyond shocked.

However, recent events had taken a peculiar turn.

Lounging back in his seat with his long legs stretched out, Luis rested his chin on his hand and inquired, “Jarrod, I heard you finally allowed your beloved to rest in peace?"

In response to Luis' question, Jarrod nodded solemnly.

"What made you change your mind all of a sudden?" Luis had persistently attempted to dissuade Jarrod from keeping Nicole's body at home.

Even with the body having undergone anti-corrosive procedures, it remained a lifeless entity that inevitably carried some bacteria. Who could bear sleeping with a mummy every night?

Despite their close friendship, Luis found it rather unsettling. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something amiss with Jarrod's mental state.

However, Jarrod had always demonstrated sharpness and determination in their business endeavors, giving no indication of insanity.

Nevertheless, Luis continued to periodically urge Jarrod to reconsider, but his pleas always fell on deaf ears.

Out of the blue, Jarrod had made the startling decision to cremate Nicole's remains.

Biting his lip, Jarrod struggled to speak, finally uttering, “Nicole is back."
