Chapter 304 She won't let him go easily
8 Sitting across Mitchel, Luis couldn't contain his laughter as he gazed at Mitchel's sour expression.
Luis playfully remarked, "I never expected Raegan to be so clever that she managed to trick you into
divorcing her." Mitchel's usually handsome face darkened with a gloomy cloud.
Luis spotted Raegan in the bar and eagerly beckoned Mitchel over.
The entire conversation among the three women had been inadvertently overheard by Luis, and when
Mitchel finally arrived, he caught only the tail end of Raegan apparently labeling him a jerk. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
However, being the gossip enthusiast that he was, Luis generously recounted the entire exchange to
Mitchel.
A satisfied grin crept onto Luis' face as he watched Mitchel's countenance grow increasingly somber.
Luis said silently, "You deserve this!" After all, Mitchel always used to laugh at him for being single.
As his bro, Mitchel should've had his back instead of poking fun at him.
"But how did you manage to keep this secret for so long, dude? Even I had no idea you two had
remarried," Luis quipped, not particularly concerned whether Mitchel responded or not.
He muttered to himself, "Now I'll have to think of a special gift for you." Seemingly oblivious to Luis'
comments, Mitchel remained silent, fully engrossed in Raegan and her friends’ conversation.
"They seem to be discussing finding a boyfriend for Raegan," Luis said with a mischievous grin.
"Bro, it appears you've made a slip-up this time.
There's no room for error now." "Not gonna happen," Mitchel retorted, lifting his glass and downing its |
contents.
He was resolute in winning Raegan back.
Mitchel was committed to rekindling Raegan's love, and he swore to himself that he wouldn't resort to
forcing her to stay by his side.
In Mitchel's mind, Raegan's earlier ploy to trick him into divorce mattered little.
What truly mattered was making her fall in love with him all over again.
As Luis gazed at the red-haired woman with narrowed eyes, an inexplicable sense of familiarity
washed over him.
After pondering for a while, he finally recalled that she bore a striking resemblance to Nicole Lawrence,
the daughter of the Lawrence family.
However, as he “listened to the woman's voice, which had a slightly rougher quality entirely different
from Nicole's, Luis was puzzled.
His curiosity got the better of him, and he was about to steal a glimpse of the woman's face.
To his surprise, all three of them suddenly stood up and departed.
Mitchel didn't join their departure.
Instead, he phoned Matteo, requesting that he keep a watchful eye on Raegan to ensure her safe
return home.
Just then, Jarrod happened to arrive, diverting Luis' attention from his earlier thoughts.
If the red-haired woman truly was Nicole, Jarrod would be beyond shocked.
However, recent events had taken a peculiar turn, Lounging back in his seat with his long legs
stretched out, Luis rested his chin on his hand and inquired, "Jarrod, I heard you finally allowed your
beloved to rest in peace?" In response to Luis' question, Jarrod nodded solemnly.
"What made you change your mind all of a sudden?" Luis had persistently attempted to dissuade
Jarrod from keeping Nicole's body at home.
Even with the body having undergone anti-corrosive procedures, it remained a lifeless entity that
inevitably carried some bacteria.
Who could bear sleeping with a mummy every night? Despite their close friendship, Luis found it rather
unsettling.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was something amiss with Jarrod's mental state.
However, Jarrod had always demonstrated sharpness and determination in their business endeavors,
giving no indication of insanity.
Nevertheless, Luis continued to ~ periodically urge Jarrod to reconsider, but his pleas always fell on
deaf ears.
Out of the blue, Jarrod had made the startling decision to cremate Nicole's remains.
Biting his lip, Jarrod struggled to speak, finally uttering, "Nicole is back." Hearing these words, Luis was
stunned.
"She is? When did she return?" However, Jarrod remained silent, leaving Luis in a state of perplexity.
The other night, Jarrod had scoured every corner of Ardlens, yet there was no sign of Nicole.
It felt as though the entire experience had been nothing more than a dream.
- Alec had suggested that Jarrod needed some rest or should consider seeing a doctor, but Jarrod
remained resolute in his belief that he was not losing his sanity.
He was convinced that the woman he had seen was Nicole, and she was undeniably alive.
It couldn't have been a mere illusion.
The memory of the intense hatred in Nicole's eyes lingered in Jarrod's mind, a stark reminder that she
wouldn't let him off easily this time.
In response, Jarrod was prepared to comply with her wishes, whatever they may be.
In fact, he eagerly awaited the day when Nicole would choose to approach him on her own terms,
firmly believing that she would do so sooner or later.
During the following week, Mitchel chose to give Raegan some space and didn't personally involve
himself in her affairs.
Instead, his assistant, Matteo, handled the transfer of the Serenity Villas on Mitchel's behalf.
Despite Raegan's disinterest in the Serenity Villas, she remained true to her promise and completed all
the necessary procedures with Matteo.
Raegan's schedule quickly filled up as she officially launched her studio.
Numerous tasks were demanding her attention.
Located in Ardlens' central business district, her studio was aptly named "Crescent." Rather than
renting office space, Raegan opted to purchase an entire building and transform it into a collection of
exhibition halls, each adorned in different styles.
| Crescent specialized in custom-made high-end clothing and jewelry, providing customers with a one-
stop shopping experience.
Advanced Al assistance enhanced the online shopping process, delivering a delightful experience to
customers.
The grandeur and opulence of | Crescent's opening had the town of Ardlens buzzing with excitement.
Some even began comparing Crescent to the well-established Alpire Studio, a favored choice among
celebrities and affluent families.
While Alpire Studio held its reputation as a trusted, time- honored brand, Crescent's distinct style was
marked by elegance and understatement, drawing inspiration from Raegan's mother.
Raegan's decision to return to Ardlens and establish Crescent was rooted in her desire to fulfill her
mother's dream.
In her determination to see that dream come to fruition, she spared no effort.
In the evening.
Raegan rushed to a restaurant to attend a dinner.
Due to the heavy traffic jam, she was a bit late when she arrived.
Tonight she was going to meet the head of some entertainment company to talk about a program.
If she was late for the first meeting, it would make a bad impression on the other party.
As she hurriedly made her way to the elevator, she noticed the doors were about to close and called
out, "Wait for me!" The person inside the elevator paused upon hearing her voice, keeping the doors
open.
Raegan quickly stepped inside, pressed the button for the fourteenth floor, and turned to express her
gratitude, "Thank you." The man inside responded with a courteous, "Don't mention it." His voice struck
Raegan as strangely familiar.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she glanced up to see a well dressed, handsome man.
To her astonishment, it was Mitchel.
Beside Mitchel stood an elegant and graceful woman.
At that moment, Raegan couldn't help but recall Mitchel's recent declaration that he wanted to pursue
her.
Since that day, she hadn't heard anything from him.
Thanked God she didn't buy his empty promises.
With her head lowered, Raegan pretended not to -recognize Mitchel and remained silent.
To Raegan's surprise, the woman next to Mitchel took the initiative to speak.
.
She looked at Raegan with astonishment and asked, "Raegan?"
