With a derisive grin, Nicole retorted, “Aren't you aware?"

Nicole felt sorry for Raegan, thinking Mitchel was utterly unworthy of Raegan’s love.

Mitchel must be heartless, or why else he didn't know Raegan loved him deeply? Raegan's love for him was so palpable that it was almost tangible.

“Why do you think Raegan abandoned her career to serve you? Had she ever taken advantage of your wealth or status in the past two years?

She could have thrived on her own. Instead, she gave up her ambition of chasing after her career just to be your little assistant at your company," she stated.

Mitchel was stunned. He'd always assumed Raegan had married him for his grandfather's sake.

But now, even her best friend Nicole claimed otherwise. Could it be that Raegan did love him?

It was as if a bud had sprouted in barren soil. He felt a newfound glimmer of hope, dissipating his lingering bitterness.

Struggling to articulate, he asked, “When did Raegan..." Was it earlier than he thought?

“Save it," Nicole interrupted, her voice laced with irritation.

“Even if she revealed her true feelings, you've blown your chance. No point in discussing what's long gone."

Nicole wasn't sure when Raegan had fallen for Mitchel. All she knew was Raegan had loved him for quite some time.

She said it just to make Mitchel regret it.

Mitchel stared at Nicole intently, gripping her arm.

“Spill it!"

“Talk to Raegan. She's the one married to you. Well, for now anyway,"

Nicole retorted with a sarcastic edge.

Surveying Mitchel's grim expression, Nicole continued boldly, “Do you honestly think Raegan will still have feelings for you when she comes to her senses? You... You're about to become history in her Life!"

Her words were like daggers, making Mitchel's blood boil with the urge to silence her.

Unperturbed, Nicole opened her mouth to add more fuel to the fire but was abruptly muzzled by Jarrod, who hoisted her up in his arms.
