Chapter 12
Another Altercation Raegan was stunned.
Her eyebrows crinkled in confusion.
Why was Mitchel mad? Wasn't he the one who asked her to sign the divorce agreement? Before she could voice out her confusion, Mitchel stood up and said in a cold voice, "Don't forget the dinner at the family house tonight." When she saw him step outside the office, Raegan shouted toward his back, "Mr.Dixon!" Mitchel halted in his tracks.
He frowned deeply.
When he looked over his shoulder, Raegan uttered, "How about next Monday?” Hearing that, his eyelids twitched again.
Why in God's name did he stop to listen to such nonsense? “As you wish." With a darkened face, Mitchel slammed the door behind him.
Raegan felt both relieved and pained after hearing that indifferent response.
Since she had decided to divorce, she thought it wise to get everything done as soon as possible.
Once the divorce was finalized, she wouldn't have to see Mitchel every day and be reminded of her pain.
As the popular saying went, time would heal all wounds.
It could take a few months or even many years.
But one day, she would surely get over Mitchel.
There were plenty of fish in the sea.
It was six o'clock in the evening.
he driver came to pick up Raegan punctually.
The Dixon family house was located in the center of Ardlens.
The building was magnificent.
Even the garden covered more than 1000 square meters of ground and was well groomed.
Since Raegan got married into the family, the one family member she cared about most was Mitchel's grandfather, Kyler Dixon.
Kyler was open-minded and humble, unlike most elites.
He didn't lord it over anyone even though he had the rights to do so.
He liked Raegan very much because he thought she was a breath of fresh air for being so simple.
When Mitchel informed Kyler that he was getting married to Raegan, Kyler miraculously recovered and was now stronger than he had been in recent years.
Raegan’s heart sank when she thought that she wouldn't be able to visit Kyler after the divorce.
In the hall, the butler took Raegan's coat and asked her to wait for a moment.
Kyler apparently had visitors now.
Raegan yawned.
These days, she always felt so sleepy, which she blamed on the pregnancy.
Once the butler told her to wait, she went to the sitting room to catch some sleep.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned.
The moment she walked in, a harsh sneer came from behind.
“Oh my! No wonder the air suddenly has a funny smell!" Tessa said sarcastically, pinching her nose as she walked over.
Tessa's mother heard that Tessa had offended Mitchel the other day, so they came here to suck up Kyler.
If there was anyone whom Mitchel obeyed in the Dixon family, it was Kyler.
Tessa's mother was afraid that Tessa would say something stupid, so she sent Tessa off to wait in the sitting room.
The troublemaker was playing with her phone when she surprisingly saw Raegan here.
Tessa walked up to Raegan with her chin raised, and remarked sarcastically, "You are here to do some asslicking, aren't you? Gosh! Even a lap dog has more self-respect than you do!" It was a known fact that Kyler had a soft spot for Raegan, and he even regarded Raegan better than some of his offspring.
This was one of the reasons why Tessa hated Raegan's guts.
In her eyes, Raegan was a nobody.
How dare Raegan try to fawn over Kyler! What a wishful bitch! After cussing Raegan out inwardly, Tessa smiled with complacency.
"Anyway, do you have any idea where Mitchel is now? Lauren just told me that Mitchel was on his way to pick her up.
They are surely coming here tonight.
If I were you, I would leave now.
It's better to leave now than staying here to be humiliated." Tessa was sharp-tongued and knew how to provoke even the most easygoing people.
As expected, Raegan’s expression changed when she heard that.
"But I have to hand it to you.
You are the first confident side chick I have ever seen!" The more Tessa spoke, the more complacent she became.
She approached Raegan's ear and said contemptuously, "Wake up, dumbo! You are just a plaything for Mitchel.
How dare you regard yourself as a member of the Dixon family! What makes you think you are worthy enough?" Raegan was already in a bad mood today, and now she was annoyed by Tessa's constant chatter.
She didn't want any drama.
With a sneer, she retorted, "No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that I'm your cousin-in- law.
Sit this one out!" “Bullshit! What are you on about?" Tessa screamed.
What the hell was this crazy woman talking about? Seeing how pissed Tessa looked, Raegan felt much better.
Raegan shrugged and replied with a smile, "Are you alright? I didn't speak a foreign language just now, did 1?" There were only a handful of people who knew about Mitchel’s marriage to Raegan, including
Mitchel's close friends.
Lauren was also aware of it, but she didn't say a word to Tessa.
Lauren only saw Tessa as a pawn even though the latter thought they were friends.
"Are you kidding me? You must be out of your fucking mind! Why would Mitchel marry someone like you? Stop being delusional! Lauren is the only woman that Mitchel would marry.
He loves her so much.
How could he marry a pauper like you? You must be insane.
Go get your brains checked, silly woman!" Tessa snarled, seething with rage.
Raegan remained calm despite Tessa’s shouting.
Raegan just frowned when she realized this wasn't good for her baby.
Two security guards walked in after hearing the shout from outside.
They asked what was the problem.
“Throw this thing out!" Tessa commanded, pointing at Raegan.
It was a tradition for Raegan to come here to have dinner with Kyler every month.
The workers here knew her face and they were aware she was well- liked by Kyler.
Now, the security guards were at their wit's end.
Seeing their hesitation, Tessa flipped out.
"Don't you know how to do your jobs anymore? Throw her out right now! If you don't obey my order, I'll ask Kyler to fire you!" The security guards’ faces darkened after hearing Tessa's arrogant words.
They wanted to give Tessa a piece of their minds, but they couldn't because she was related to Kyler.
Raegan didn't expect that Tessa could be so unreasonable.
She frowned.
“Tessa, don't go too far! No human is above the other.
In other words, you have no right to speak to them that way!" “Ha-ha!" Tessa threw her head back and laughed hard.
"Look at you! So, you don't know that money rules the world? Let me tell you.
This is the Dixon family house.
As a relative of the landlord, I have every right to speak to the workers however I want.
If you have a problem with that, get lost!" Raegan shook her head.
She had never met someone so unreasonable.
“Loyal security guards are hard to find these days.
They neither steal nor pose a threat to the safety of this family.
They work hard to earn an honest living.
You are dead wrong for treating them like this!" Raegan stared Tessa dead in the eye.
It reminded Tessa of the same harsh look Raegan had when Raegan checked the accounts last time.
In a fit of pique, Tessa picked up the glass of juice on the table and poured it on Raegan.
Raegan hadn't seen this coming, so her clothes were soaked instantly.
The bright suit clung to her skin.
She looked down and gasped in horror.
Shaking her head sassily, Tessa sneered, "That's what you get for not knowing your place.
How dare you, a mere pauper whom Kyler took pity on, tell me what to do!" After saying that, Tessa raised her hand and was about to slap Raegan.
"Stop!" A cold voice came through.
Mitchel walked over and looked at them coldly.
Tessa staggered, feeling weak in the knees.
She quickly regained her composure.
As far as she was concerned, Raegan was the troublemaker here.
Why should she panic? “Thank goodness you are here, Mitchel! This bitch is trying to ruin your reputation.
I'll teach her a lesson for you!" Mitchel glanced at Tessa with a look of impatience.
Tessa failed to read Mitchel's expression. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When Mitchel shouldered past her and walked toward Raegan, she was still in a daze.
"Can you believe that this bitch called herself my cousin-in-law? She's out of her mind, isn't she? It's dangerous to allow such a crazy woman to continue working for you.
Fire her ASAP!" Suddenly, Mitchel stopped dead in his tracks.
Tessa's cousin-in-law? A smile crept into his face.
The depression that plagued his heart all afternoon was knocked out by happiness in a trice.
“Raegan." Mitchel raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Raegan amusingly, and asked, "Did you say that?"
