"Do you not find Luciana's behavior a bit odd?" After pondering for a while, Raegan couldn't reconcile Luciana's drastic change in manners, even if Luciana was heartbroken.

"She had changed a lot after I distanced myself from her five years ago," Mitchel revealed.

"Five years ago..." Raegan pondered whether Mitchel knew about the conversation Luciana had with her.

Raegan wasn't certain. Mitchel seemed unwilling to delve further into the past.

After a while, Mitchel remarked, "My mother relies heavily on Katie. If you happen to see them together, try not to be upset."

Raegan shook her head. "I won't." Her principles were never dictated by others. Nor would she bend over backward to please those who held animosity toward her. Yet, Luciana's shift in demeanor always left her feeling somewhat remorseful.

Reflecting on the day's events, Raegan inquired, “What exactly is Henley's plan?"

Mitchel had been aware of Alexis' illegitimate son's existence, vigilant all the while. Despite a thorough search, he couldn't locate his half-brother. Now, it made sense. He failed to locate Alexis' illegitimate son because the latter had been hospitalized after the car incident.

In response to Raegan, Mitchel stated, "He aims to ascend to power."

Although Raegan didn't grasp the intricacies of the Dixon Group's internal dynamics, she had faith in Mitchel's abilities.

Surveying the landscape of the country, it seemed unlikely that anyone could topple Mitchel from his position of strength and influence. Therefore, Raegan remained unperturbed.

Observing her calm demeanor, Mitchel teasingly pinched her rosy Lips, inquiring, “What if I truly get sidelined?"

Still irritated by his previous restlessness, Raegan retorted grumpily, “I'll sell you to a brothel for a decent sum."

Mitchel fiercely nibbled her luscious earlobe, his voice thick with desire. "If I end up in a brothel, who will look after your needs?"

Raegan's ears flushed as Mitchel nibbled, and she protested, “Who said I needed you to take care of my needs?"

Unaware to herself, her voice was both sweet and enticing.

Mitchel's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his lips approaching again with a husky voice. “Are you blaming me for not tending to your needs?"

Raegan was rendered speechless. Mitchel had a knack for bending the truth to his will.

In the midst of their talk, Mitchel's hand had already made its way under Raegan's pajamas.

Raegan tensed, her heart racing. They had just made out. Now, Mitchel wanted to do it again? Plus, he had just woken up. Though it didn't require much of his strength, diving into the temptation of lust didn't do his recovery any good.
