Raegan was dumbfounded. What did she just hear? An apology from Mitchel?

Mitchel's brow creased slightly as he added, "I had no intention of threatening him."

Raegan frowned, rendered speechless. Stefan shared the same sentiment.

Stefan's perception of Mitchel shifted drastically. How could someone's demeanor change so quickly? Mitchel was as unpredictable as anyone could be.

Then, Matteo rushed over, apologizing to Stefan, “Please forgive me, I forgot to brake. I'll cover all repairs."

Mitchel, with his handsome features showing a trace of pallor, commanded in a deep voice, “Matteo, ensure Mr. Clifford gets a thorough check-up to see if he's physically hurt and have him select a new car from the dealership."

Mitchel sophisticatedly camouflaged his feelings and echoed Matteo, showcasing his shrew side.

Raegan was frustrated. Mitchel simply whitewashed himself by echoing Matteo's words.

Matteo had two extra vehicles over, informing Stefan, “Mr. Clifford, please let us handle the vehicle situation."

Stefan gazed at Raegan, inquiring, "Would you like to join me?"

Before Raegan could respond, Mitchel cut in, "She doesn't need to go out of her way. I'll send her home."

Annoyed, Raegan responded, “I'm not on your way."

Stefan was about to respond when Matteo reassured them, "No concerns, Mr. Clifford. We have enough vehicles. Miss Foster will be safely escorted home."

Knowing Stefan had important documents and money in his car that required his attention, Raegan stated, "Go ahead, Stefan. I'll manage."

Though hesitant, Stefan gave in since he had confidential family documents in his car that needed his care. And with Mitchel present, Raegan seemed safe. He gave a nod, saying, “Let me know once you're home."

Feeling responsible for the inconvenience to Stefan, Raegan agreed quietly.

Mitchel watched, opening and closing his fists to control his feelings.

Stefan addressed Mitchel, “Appreciate it, Mr. Dixon."

Mitchel replied with depth, "I'm merely doing my duty."

Their exchange had an underlying rivalry, each viewing Raegan as their own.
