Raegan regarded him with skepticism, wondering if he was playing some sort of trick on her.

Mitchel sensed her doubt, and his expression darkened. "If I really wanted to do something to you, would I need to go through all this trouble?"

Raegan couldn't help but get even more furious. How dare he look at her as if she was deliberately giving him a hard time? If he hadn't been constantly harassing her, she wouldn't be so suspicious of his motives.

Seeing the anger in Raegan's eyes, Mitchel hurriedly explained, “Don't worry. I'll take you home after this."

With his assurance, Raegan managed to rein in her temper. If he kept his word, she wouldn't mind taking a look inside the club. After all, she was sure Mitchel wouldn't harm her, even though he could be quite obnoxious at times.

Without further ado, Raegan followed Mitchel into a chamber upstairs.

They took their seats, and a waiter promptly served beverages and dessert. When the waiter left, he closed the door behind him, leaving only the two of them in the confined space.

Their seats were so close that Raegan could detect the subtle fragrance of Mitchel's suit. Feeling a bit uneasy, she tried to shift away, but he firmly grasped her wrist and pulled her closer.

The next second, Raegan nearly stumbled into his arms. She pushed him away and, with evident anger, demanded, “What the hell do you want?"

Ignoring her anger, Mitchel firmly held her shoulder and calmly said, "Just wait and see."

As soon as he said those words, the large curtain in the private room was suddenly drawn aside, revealing that they were in two adjoining rooms.

In the adjacent room sat a woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a white dress, revealing her slender legs. Her attire somewhat made her appear vulnerable.

Raegan was perplexed by the sight before her.

A burly bodyguard in black attire stepped forward and turned the chair to reveal the woman's face.

At the sight of it, Raegan's eyes widened in shock. The woman seated there was none other than Lauren.

However, Lauren's appearance was far from what Raegan had expected.

Lauren's face bore signs of a recent ordeal. Her nose and chin had evidently been injured during a fight. She hadn't sought medical attention, causing inflammation and festering. Her injuries looked quite disturbing.

Raegan recalled hearing some mention of Lauren a few days ago.

Following the incident at the press conference, several wealthy women whom Lauren had wronged united, offering a reward to track Lauren down. They vowed to exact revenge on Lauren once they found her.

Lauren had been in hiding ever since she got wind of the news, and her whereabouts had remained unknown.
