Raegan was concerned about Nicole dealing with Jarrod alone. However, with Victor by Nicole's side, she felt Nicole would be safe.

"No need," Nicole declined firmly. She gave Jarrod a challenging look and said, "I doubt Mr. Schultz would do anything against the Law."

Her comment implied Jarrod was as dangerous as a ruthless criminal.

Yet, Jarrod seemed unfazed. He kept his eyes steadily on Nicole, showing no reaction to her words. He wasn't bothered by what others thought.

“Alright. Go ahead." Nicole gave Raegan a reassuring smile. “It's good you've got Victor with you."

"Alright. Let's meet up later."

"Sure thing."

At this time, Matteo stepped up and informed Mitchel, “Mr. Dixon, the auction's about to start."

Raegan had already pressed the elevator button, catching Mitchel's attention to join her.

Raegan grinned and directed Mitchel, "Mr. Dixon, the elevator to the auction room is that way."

Raegan's previous gratitude for Mitchel's help in locating and comforting Janey was replaced by anger due to the record he had sent the night before. Yet, she would not exploit his kindness. She doubled all the expenses and transferred them to the Dixon Group's bank account. She figured Mitchel understood her stance.

The elevator doors shut in front of Mitchel, his handsome face showing a hint of concern, his hand slowly clenching at his side.

Matteo felt uneasy, suspecting Mitchel was dragging things out on purpose. Clearly, Mitchel wanted to spend more time with Raegan.

Luis, flashing a big grin, joked, “Looks like I should keep my distance, or Raegan might start giving me the cold shoulder.”

Mitchel glanced at Luis and remarked coldly, “What valuable insights could I expect from you, Mr. Forever Single?"

Luis was rendered speechless. He was single, but so what?

Mitchel added, "On that note, I know a young lady from a wealthy family who might be just right for you."

Luis's smile widened. "Don't worry about me. Plenty of women find me attractive. I don't need any introductions."

"But it's Sadie Miller."

"You've got to be joking!" Luis exclaimed in shock. "Sadie Miller, that wild one? Do you hate me or something, bro?"
