Erick didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand, checked the time on his wristwatch, and opened his thin lips slightly. "It's 8: 59.

You're just in time."

Raegan was rendered speechless. So, Erick was only here to ensure she was home on time. If he was this worried about her, why did he agree to Mitchel making advances toward her?

Raegan couldn't help asking, “Erick, what did you and Mitchel talk about?"

Erick lowered his eyes. "It's none of your business. Just go inside and grab some rest."

Raegan looked at Erick speechlessly. Why was it none of her business?

Wasn't she the topic of their conversation?

Raegan stomped her feet in a huff. "If you don't tell me, I'll just date him."

"Aren't we already dating?" A magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Having assumed the speaker was Erick, Raegan was about to retort but stopped when she recognized the owner of the voice suddenly. She turned her head and found Mitchel standing behind them.

Raegan's face turned crimson. She said through clenched teeth, “No more nonsense from you!"

After saying this, she quickly went inside the house.

Under Mitchel's intense gaze, Raegan almost stumbled. Her movements became awkward.

Mitchel fixed his gaze on Raegan's back, watching her until she disappeared from his sight.

Having noticed Mitchel's eyes glued on Raegan, Erick warned, “If you dare to mistreat my sister, don't blame me for destroying you."

With Mitchel's will in Erick's possession, Erick could easily ruin Mitchel's life and business on a whim.

With a lot on his plate lately, Erick couldn't spare any more time to safeguard Raegan and Janey personally, which was part of the reason he finally conceded, allowing Mitchel to make advances toward Raegan.

Plus, Mitchel was undoubtedly influential in Ardlens. Having Mitchel by Raegan's side, Erick was more at ease than entrusting Raegan to other's care.

“Erick, rest assured. I will protect Raegan and Janey with my life,"

Mitchel promised solemnly.
