After shouting at Raegan, Alexis turned to Mitchel and said, “What is going on with the bodyguards here? How can they let anyone in?"

The disdain and contempt in Alexis’ eyes were overflowing.

Raegan had always been polite, and she was rarely despised by her elders.

She didn't want to disrespect anyone, especially Mitchel's father.

But those insulting words Alexis said to her a few days ago were still vivid in her mind.

At his words, her face turned pale, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable. She wished she could run away from here as soon as possible.

Raegan turned around and was about to leave.

But she suddenly froze.

A crisp sound echoed in the ward.

It turned out that a crystal glass narrowly grazed Alexis' face. It hit the wall and shattered into countless pieces on the floor.

Raegan turned around and saw Mitchel's deep-set eyes were colder and sharper than blades, staring at Alexis.

Then, Mitchel got out of bed. His tall figure cast a shadow over Raegan's head. He said coldly, "Stay here!"

As Mitchel spoke, he extended his hand to hold Raegan's hand.

Thinking it wasn't appropriate for her to stay here when they quarreled, she managed to shake Mitchel's hand off and walked away.

But then, Mitchel's grip tightened. It seemed he wanted her to stay and witness the scene.

Their clasped hands ignited something in Alexis' heart. He could not believe his son would upset the Benton family and forsake the lucrative project for a woman Like Raegan. To him, Raegan was merely a beauty from a humble background, doing no favors for the family business.

"If you've got something to say, just say it. I need to rest,"

Mitchel calmly said.

Struggling to contain his anger, Alexis asked, “Why did you fire Carsen?"

"He abused his position for personal gain and colluded with external parties. The evidence was irrefutable," Mitchel explained.
