Chapter: 2132
Henley glanced over, and indeed, next to the obstetrics department was the gynecology department.

Aware of Henley's cunning nature, Raegan was careful not to reveal her pregnancy. In a composed manner, she countered, "What's unusual about a grown woman visiting a gynecologist?"

“Alright, perhaps it's my mistake. But what I saw in the VIP area earlier, I didn't misinterpret that, did 1?" Henley persisted.

Observing Raegan's paling complexion, Henley's lips curved slightly as he pressed on, "Mitchel no longer cares for you, so why do you persist in holding on to him? Maybe you should consider me. No matter how many flings I have with other women, it's always been you I genuinely loved."

"Henley, I don't owe you any explanations!" Raegan snapped. "If I wasn't clear before, let me be clear now. I have no connection with you, not even as acquaintances. If you dare target Janey or anyone close to me, I will fight you to the end, regardless of the consequences! I hope you...."

She paused, her words deliberate. “Don't make me regret having offered warmth to the boy you used to be."

Raegan's words hit a nerve, causing Henley's breath to catch in his throat. His fixation over Raegan originated from a childhood incident, and now she was expressing remorse for ever giving him warmth. In a sudden outburst of anger and embarrassment, he exclaimed, “What's so great about Mitchel? Despite his constant humiliation of you, you still choose to support him over me?"

“He's an honorable man with integrity in both his personal and professional life. He never resorts to deceitful tactics to achieve his goals. Need I elaborate further?" Raegan retorted. "He's better than you in every way."

Henley was left speechless. With a scowl etched onto his face, he said, "Everything I've done was to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me!"

“Rightfully belongs to you?" Raegan challenged, “Henley, what exactly belongs to you? Under Mitchel's leadership, the Dixon Group has doubled its achievements and prospered, all due to his dedication. Even if you believe you're entitled to a share, you could have demonstrated your capabilities through fair competition, not by colluding with shareholders behind the scenes."

Instantly, Henley's face flushed with a range of emotions. "Did he ever give me a fair chance to compete? When I joined the company, he did everything to sideline me, making it impossible for me to even raise my head. Meanwhile, he has the best resources and connections at his disposal, which helps him effortlessly accomplish anything he puts his mind to!"

Henley continued defensively, "Do you think I enjoy scheming in the shadows? If I were in his shoes, I would do a better job than him!"

"A better job than him?" Raegan scoffed. "Henley, the instant you stooped to using those underhanded methods, you lost any right to compare yourself to him.”

“How dare you question my worthiness!" Henley's face twisted with fury. He seemed to be teetering on the brink of losing composure, constrained only by the fact that they were in public.

Raegan's gaze, on the other hand, remained bright and resolute.

“Every action he takes is for the betterment of the company. Can you and Alexis say the same? What have you accomplished anyway? Wooing shareholders, betraying the company's interests, fabricating your grandfather's will, colluding with outsiders to devalue the Dixon Group shares for personal gain...”

Raegan snorted. “Nothing you've done makes you worthy of being compared to Mitchel."

With that, she left, indifferent to Henley's escalating anger.

Henley's expression was hideous as he bellowed at Raegan's retreating figure, "You'll regret this! Protecting a man who doesn't want you. I'll wait for you to regret your choice!"

Raegan halted, turned back, and declared, "I was just stating facts. It has nothing to do with my feelings for him."
