This whole situation was a setup by vicious people.

At this point, it did not matter if Raegan was innocent or not.

She could only endure the gossip and scorn, knowing she had done nothing wrong.

But the look of disappointment in her grandmother's eyes was too much to bear. It was as if a dagger pierced into Raegan's heart.

The emotional weight became too much. Raegan's head dropped, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

But Tessa was unwilling to let Raegan go. She gave the fat woman a subtle wink.

The fat woman caught Tessa's signal loud and clear. With that, she yanked Raegan's hair back and snarled, "How do you have the nerve to deny all this, you bitch?"

After saying these words, she pulled her leg back, ready to deliver a strong kick to Raegan's abdomen.

In the nick of time...

Bang. A muffled thud broke through the air.

Someone had kicked the fat woman away, sending her sprawling to the ground. The fat woman curled up on the ground and cried out in pain.

"Who was that? Who's the son of a bitch who kicked me? Have you lost your mind?"

Two men in suits, resembling bodyguards, appeared out of nowhere and delivered kicks to the fat woman, effectively silencing her.

The rest of the assailants weren't bold without their ringleader and were easier to deal with. Even if the bodyguards had not done anything, they scattered in all directions.

They were just here for the money anyway.

Tessa, however, was not ready to throw in the towel just yet. Her elaborate scheme had been all about sabotaging Raegan and getting rid of her unborn child.

She was the one who had arranged those incriminating photos.

At most, she could say she had made a mistake and used more money to settle it down.

But it never crossed her mind that someone would intervene.

“Who's this? Your new sugar daddy? You're full of surprises, Raegan," she sarcastically said.
