After all, the compensation offered by Raegan was a significant amount of money, even surpassing most of the employee's annual salary.

Raegan put away the agreement after Miss Beckett signed it. "No. But Miss Beckett, I hope you will be wiser next time. Do not promote evil practices."

Miss Beckett's expression soured. How dare Raegan lecture her now!

“Who's promoting evil practices..." Miss Beckett stopped at Raegan's cold gaze. It finally dawned on her. The situation had completely reversed. She was no longer negotiating with Raegan. Instead, she now had to beg.

Miss Beckett clutched her fists. This was all that damn Katie's fault.

She considered Katie as a best friend, but Katie kept her in the dark of being detained. Even Anthea, Katie's assistant, dared to lie to her! She almost lost a huge sum of money because of Katie.

Upon leaving the media company, Raegan was met with Alexis waiting for her in the car.

Seeing Raegan covered in disarray, Alexis chuckled and said, "Raegan, you don't have to work this hard. Do you want my help? I can intervene."

Raegan didn't say anything.

Undeterred by her silence, Alexis continued, “With such a huge compensation, you will probably have to use your family's cash flow."

Have you ever imagined what could happen if you do so?

The threat in his words was palpable. Not content with just targeting Raegan's studio, Alexis would go after the Foster family's business should Raegan didn't comply.

Raegan replied coolly, "Thank you for your concern. But my family's finances are quite stable at the moment."

Alexis assumed she was just being stubborn. With a facade of looking out for her interests, he suggested, "Raegan, I was concerned about you. Why don't you just accept that Mitchel is dead and withdraw the case? Then, I'll cash out his share of the stocks for you."

Of course, once the case was withdrawn, how much those shares were cashed out for would be up to Alexis. Using tricks to make the stock prices of the Dixon Group plummet, the money he had to fork out for Raegan would be trimmed to only a fraction of the money due.

Raegan understood Alexis' ultimate goal was to force her to admit that Mitchel was dead. Only in that way could Alexis proceed with his grand schemes.

Raegan looked at Alexis and said coldly, “Mr. Dixon, Mitchel is not dead. Please watch your words moving forward. I don't appreciate that kind of talk."

Her words infuriated Alexis. Raegan, impermeable to both flattery and threats, was proving too difficult to handle. He snarled, “You will soon know what real suffering is."

As expected, Raegan's negotiations with several other companies this afternoon became difficult, likely due to Alexis's interference.

It was almost dark by the time Raegan, exhausted, returned to the studio. She had been living at the studio for two days straight, with no time to go home.
