Then, she refused Matteo's offer to give her a ride and got into Henley's car instead.

And now, she denied that she knew him.

Did she really hate him that much?

The police officer looked at Raegan, then at Mitchel. He asked, "Do you know each other or not?"

Mitchel was so angry that he wanted to give Raegan a piece of his mind now. But he restrained himself.

His eyes turned dark. He tightly wrapped his arm around Raegan's waist and said through clenched teeth, “She's my wife."

Raegan was dumbfounded when she heard his words. She didn't react for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she tried to push him away. But he held her even tighter. So, she had no choice but to ask in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The police officer pondered for a few seconds. Then he asked Raegan, "Is this man your husband?"

Raegan glared at Mitchel, thinking he must be out of his mind.

During their previous encounters, he had been indifferent to her. He was as arrogant as a peacock.

How could he declare now that she was his wife?

She didn't want to delay the police officer from working further, so she hurriedly explained, "He is my ex-husband."

Mitchel's handsome face turned gloomy. But he still held back his temper and said to the police officer, "It's okay, officer. I'll take care of the rest."

The police officer hesitated for a moment. When Mitchel noticed this, he directly told the police officer his ID number and said coldly, “If she goes missing, come find me."

What Mitchel did finally convinced the police officer, and he escorted the troublemaker away.

As soon as the police officer left, all the villagers surrounded Mitchel, refusing to let him go.

After all, they had just heard that he was Raegan's husband. And judging from his outfit, he didn't seem like a poor man.

However, Mitchel just ignored the villagers who blocked his way. He picked Raegan up and walked outside.

But would these villagers, who had finally seen a glimmer of hope, let them go?
