After a while, she stopped writing and looked at it.

The expression on Matteo's face drastically changed when he read the letters I-0-U clearly written on the paper.

This was supposed to be an excellent opportunity for Raegan and Mitchel to reconcile. Why did they suddenly turn into a debtor- creditor relationship?

When Mitchel knew this, his face immediately turned sour.

Raegan even bit her thumb for a bloody fingerprint, causing her to wince in pain. She left a bloody thumbprint on the signature area and handed it to Mitchel.

"Mr. Dixon, I will repay this as soon as possible."

When Mitchel looked at the flimsy piece of paper, his face burned up.

He felt this was even more painful than the slap earlier.

Of course, he knew what this piece of paper meant.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Did she really hate him so much that she was eager to totally erase him from her life?

Raegan was not interested in appreciating Mitchel's expression at this moment. He was right. She really didn't want to have any connection with him.

She would rather owe money to those villagers than to him.

But now that the money was in the hands of the villagers, she couldn't retrieve it anymore.

In fact, her lack of confidence in herself was the root cause.

Despite her resolute words, deep down, she was afraid of not being firm enough to resist his advances. She didn't want to suffer again because of falling for him.

Raegan turned around and was about to leave. However, Mitchel grabbed her wrist.

He said hoarsely, "You know that's not what I want..."

Raegan smiled lightly.

"But what can I do? Besides that, there's nothing I can give you."
