Chapter: 2245
In the chaos, Katie's assistant continued to jostle and shove, attempting to topple Raegan.
Clinging tightly to the assistant's arm, Raegan managed to stay upright despite the assistant's several forceful attempts. The assistant then redoubled her efforts, straining to bring Raegan down.
Amidst the tumult, someone had alerted the authorities, and a voice rang out from the crowd, "Keep an eye on this wicked woman, and wait for the patrol officers to arrive."
“Make way! Everyone move aside!" a stern voice commanded, parting the crowd effortlessly.
Held captive by Katie's assistant, Raegan watched as a man with a cold, indifferent demeanor approached. He strode past her without a pause.
In a swift motion, Mitchel disregarded the bloodstains on Katie, bent down, and scooped her up. His gaze never lingered on Raegan, not even for a fleeting second. To him, it seemed, only Katie mattered.
Everyone else was merely background.
Despite maintaining her composure, Raegan felt a sharp twist in her heart. She recognized the intensity of Mitchel's focus on Katie. It was the kind of undivided attention she had once known herself. It became clear Mitchel had truly fallen for Katie.
After Mitchel lifted Katie, Katie's assistant, not familiar with Raegan, asked Mitchel, "Mr. Dixon, what should we do with this person?"
Mitchel's eyes, deep and inscrutable, flickered with a hint of ferocity that sent a chill through Raegan. "Take her to the hospital with us," he stated, his voice as cold as his expression, completely devoid of empathy.
Raegan instinctively resisted going with Mitchel and stood her ground, firmly stating, "I won't go with you. I'll wait until the officers arrive. They will investigate what really happened."
Mitchel gave Raegan a cold look and his lips curved slightly as he commanded, “Take her!"
Uncertain of his intentions and feeling uneasy, Raegan was forcefully pulled into the car by Katie's assistant.
Just then, the factory owner, who hadn't seen Raegan for a while, arrived. Seeing Raegan was forced into the car, she rushed over and grabbed onto Raegan's sleeve. "What are you doing? Why are you taking her away? Don't you have any respect for the rule of law?" she demanded.
Katie's assistant ignored her protests, choosing to roll up the car window without a second glance.
As the car window was closing, Raegan quickly slipped her phone into the factory owner's hand, whispering, “Don't worry. Let my brother handle the factory's affairs."
Stunned, the factory owner stood still, not following the car.
From his position in the lead car, Mitchel glanced back through the rearview mirror and coldly ordered, “Search that woman."
Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Katie was immediately rushed into the emergency room for treatment.
Mitchel watched the door of the operating room intently, his expression filled with concern. Meanwhile, Raegan leaned against the wall outside the operating room, her body feeble and her legs barely holding her up. She was exhausted and could only rest against the wall for support.
