Meanwhile, Raegan wasn't deeply affected by Mitchel's hurtful words.

That night, she burned the midnight oil, immersing herself in translating the book.

Completing this assignment promised a hefty paycheck of three hundred thousand dollars.

This money could help her solve the current predicament.

After the divorce, Raegan understood that only through hard work could she gain the strength to choose and protect herself in times of trouble.

She couldn't afford to be idle and endure abuse from others.

With this in mind, her desire to pursue further studies abroad intensified.

She knew that only by becoming strong enough could she prevent anyone from bullying her again.

In the dimly lit bar, Mitchel nursed his drink, drowning in a sea of despair. Luis and Jarrod, his drinking companions for the evening, sat nearby.

Luis cleared his throat, looked at Mitchel, and asked, "What's wrong this time?"

Mitchel brushed off the question. However, Luis smirked and continued, "Let me guess. Did Miss Benton get on your nerves again?"

Eloise's relentless pursuit of Mitchel was no secret.

It was mainly because Eloise was so high-profile that she expressed her love for Mitchel on the social platform every single day.

In the tight-knit world of the wealthy, gossip traveled faster than Light.

Despite Luis’ prodding, Mitchel remained stoic.

"Is it something to do with Raegan?" Luis tried another angle.

"Her?" Mitchel finally responded, a sneer forming on his lips.

“That woman has nothing to do with me."

His words dripped with coldness, cruelty, and unwavering determination, It was the first time Luis had heard Mitchell speak of Raegan in such a manner.

Mitchel said those words seriously, but Luis found them unbelievable.
