Mitchel’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
In the quiet of the night, Mitchel’s gaze darkened with uncertainty.
He desperately wanted to believe Raegan’s words, but the doctor's words, that
damning report, and Henley now lying on the ground made her statement seem
increasingly implausible.
As his hesitation grew, Raegan’s heart felt as if a heavy stone had settled within
it.

It was clear that, even with the truth on her lips, Mitchel remained skeptical,
unwilling to trust her words.
Nevertheless, she had to make it unequivocally clear that she couldn't allow
Henley to get entangled in this mess.
Tears welled in her eyes as she explained, “I was only so angry that you didn't
believe me, so I lied to you. The child is yours.”
Raegan cast a sorrowful glance at Henley, who was bravely enduring the pain on
the ground. In a choked voice, she added, “Can you please let Henley tend to his
wounds first?”
Henley had come to her aid in moments of despair countless times, and now, he
lay battered because of her.
The overwhelming guilt kept her tears flowing.
Mitchel looked at the scene with a cold, unyielding gaze, his throbbing headache
adding to his agony.
He grasped Raegan’s chin and forcefully turned her to face him. He asked coldly,
“Raegan, are you lying to me again just to protect this man?”
Mitchell's vice-like grip caused Raegan to cry out in pain. She managed to push
him away and stammered, “I didn’t... I didn't Lie to you...”
Seeing the pain etched across Raegan’s face, Henley couldn't remain silent any
longer. He exclaimed, “Stop! What kind of man are you?”
“Alright, alright, alright,” Mitchel repeated with a sinister smile, raising his
eyebrows. He then ordered his black-clad bodyguards, “Beat him! Beat him to
death!”
The bodyguards, obedient to Mitchel’'s command, began to mercilessly rain blows
and kicks upon Henley.
The sounds of fists connecting with flesh were a haunting symphony, sending
shivers down the spine of anyone who heard.
However, Henley remained silent, knowing that any groans of pain would only
deepen Raegan’s guilt.
“No! Stop it!” Raegan’s eyes were red, and her voice broke as she cried out. But
how could the relentless bodyguards listen to her?
In desperation, she turned to Mitchel, her tears now flowing freely, and begged,
“Please, tell them to stop beating Henley. I'll do anything you ask. Just spare him,
okay?”
Why did life burden her with so much?
Why did he force her into such a sinful predicament?
Mitchel’s indifference drove her to the brink, forcing her to rush forward and
shield Henley, standing bravely against the bodyguards to halt their brutal
assault.
The bodyguards didn’t dare lay a hand on Raegan. Instead, they looked at
Mitchel, waiting for his instructions.
