Raegan maintained her gaze steadily. "Miss Beckett, must you make this so difficult for me?"

“When have I made things difficult for you?" Miss Beckett widened her eyes and whispered, almost inaudibly, “It's your own fault for antagonizing the Glyn family."

Raegan heard every word distinctly. Without another comment, she gathered the documents and said, "Then, excuse me, Miss Beckett."

As Raegan turned to leave, Miss Beckett called out in a panic, "Hey! What the hell are you talking about? Where do you think you're going?"

Raegan paused and turned back. "Isn't it clear our discussion is going nowhere?"

Miss Beckett rolled her eyes. "When did I say we couldn't talk? You just lack sincerity..."

With her hand in her pocket and despite the coffee stain, Raegan stood resolute, showing no sign of yielding. "My sincerity is evident Miss Beckett, I see your intent of being difficult quite clearly.”

"You really have no patience," Miss Beckett retorted. "Fine, let's not talk then. I'll just tweet right now and tell everyone how unreliable Crescent is!"

Raegan watched Miss Beckett turn and responded coolly, "Miss Beckett, are you sure you want to make the wrong decision now?"

Miss Beckett paused, looking puzzled. “What do you mean?"

Raegan smiled slightly. “Do you truly believe the Glyn family will withstand this fallout?"

Miss Beckett was stunned. She was one of those who flattered the powerful and stepped on the weak. With the Glyn family's directive, she saw no reason not to make things difficult for Raegan, Plus, Miss Beckett took pleasure in tormenting others, making her enjoy this task.

Brushing off Raegan's words, Miss Beckett scoffed disdainfully. "Do you really think you can drive a wedge between Katie and me with just a few words? Dream on!"

"Miss Beckett, your best friend Katie, has been missing for more than two days. Aren't you curious?" Raegan said.

Miss Beckett froze. It was only now that she realized it was Katie's assistant who had been keeping in touch with her these past two days.

She had not talked with Katie, even on the phone. Actually, she tried calling Katie's personal number, but she couldn't get through.

However, Miss Beckett kept her thoughts to herself and retorted, "What does it have to do with you?"

Raegan replied calmly, “Miss Beckett, you should inquire about your best friend's whereabouts. I'll give you five more minutes to decide. If you still don't want to solve things peacefully, then goodbye."

The Glyn family blocked all the news about Katie's detention, but it wasn't impossible for those with connections to uncover it.

Miss Beckett didn't take Raegan's words seriously, thinking Raegan was only bluffing. After all, Katie was a significant figure now.
