If he was a lame thing, then there was no good thing in this world.

Mitchel didn't bother looking at Katie and warned, "She doesn't like you. You should avoid her in the future and not make her angry."

Katie was stunned. The smile on her face froze. She thought she must have misheard. "Mitchel, what do you mean?"

Mitchel stared at Katie. "I'm pursuing her now, so I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings. Since she doesn't like you, just give her a wide berth and avoid her from now on."

This time, there was no way Katie could misunderstand his words.

Instantly, she felt as if she had been slapped in public.

Katie flushed hot with embarrassment. As an heiress of a prominent family and vice president of a renowned company, she had to steer clear of a relatively unknown design director. Not only that, but she also had to make way for Raegan when she saw Raegan! She couldn't comprehend the logic behind this.

Despite her usual etiquette and generosity, Katie couldn't shake the feeling of dissatisfaction at the current situation.

Katie's smile vanished as she fought to control her emotions.

“Mitchel, did you ever consider my feelings?"

Katie's words carried a touch of grievance. This wasn't something she aimed for after enduring so much these years.

Katie came from a decent family. Marrying into wealth was no challenging task for her. But for the public to get the wrong idea of her being Mitchel's fiancée, she put up with the coverage of belittling her for her failure to marry Mitchel.

She did it all for Mitchel. She was dead set on marrying him. To her, Mitchel's wealth and power were just the cherry on top. She had fallen for him for years. She was certain no one in the world could love Mitchel more than she did.

Mitchel looked up at Katie, his words cold and unyielding. "I've decided to win Raegan back," he declared. "I'll talk to my mother.

If you find it hard to convince your parents, I'll handle it. Don't worry. I'll take all the blame, so your reputation won't suffer." His tone left no room for discussion.

Katie realized the more content she had felt moments earlier, the more humiliated she felt now.

In essence, Mitchel was telling Katie that she was no longer useless to him. After all, he had opposed the marriage with her all along.

It was Katie who had spread the rumors and taken advantage of the situation.

At that time, Mitchel wasn't following entertainment news, so he remained unaware until it exploded in the media.

Although Mitchel had denied the rumors back then, the public assumed he simply wanted to keep it private, and no one doubted their relationship.
