Chapter 23
Don't Dine With Other Men At this moment, more than a dozen bodyguards swarmed in and surrounded the room.
They were all employed by Jerry.
However, Mitchel only had two bodyguards and an assistant who looked very gentle.
Mitchel was outnumbered.
If all these men beat him up, how could he resist? His two bodyguards couldn't protect him against more than a dozen men around them.
At the thought of this, Jerry grinned hideously.
He was confident to win.
Jerry raised his hand and hooked his finger, hinting at the bodyguards to make a move.
Mitchel saw this but he didn't show any sign of fear at all.
He didn't even move. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
He still sat there leisurely with his long legs crossed.
It was as 1f he was just watching a show.
But before all Jerry's men could move, a loud noise suddenly sounded.
Jerry turned around in confusion, only to be shocked by the scene in front of him.
It turned out that all his men had been taken down one after another.
They curled up on the floor, groaning in pain.
The entire process happened in less than five minutes.
Jerry found this the most shocking.
How could Mitchel's two bodyguards knock down more than a dozen men? He was in utter disbelief.
Fear gradually appeared in Jerry's eyes.
There was no trace of arrogance in him anymore.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
He couldn't help wondering what kind of monsters these men in front of him were.
Despite his fear, Jerry managed to ask in a trembling voice, "Who the hell are you?” Upon hearing this question, Matteo took out an elegant gilded business card and showed it to Jerry.
"He is Mr.
Dixon.” Jerry looked at the business card.
And when he read the words printed there, he suddenly knelt on the floor.
The Dixon Group was well-known in Ardlens.
How could he not know this company? "I'm...
I'm sorry.
It’s all my fault.
I didn’t recognize you.
Please forgive me.
I swear I will never show up in front of you again.
Please spare me this time.” Jeff, who was lying on his stomach and oblivious to Mitchel’s identity, groaned and shouted, "Dad! What do you think you're doing? Why are you kneeling in front of them? I am so ashamed of...” But before he could finish his words, a crisp slap sound echoed in the room.
It turned out that Jerry slapped Jeff hard to stop the latter from talking.
Jerry roared, "Shut up!" He was livid, thinking Jeff was such an idiot.
How could Jeff not realize what kind of person he had offended? Jerry glared at Jeff before he turned to Mitchel again and bowed.
Then he said humbly, "Mr.
Dixon, I don't know what exactly my son did, but I know it's not good.
I apologize to you on his behalf.
Please forgive him.
I will do anything to make it up to you.
Just tell me what you want, Mr.
Dixon." Mitchel stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Jerry, and said indifferently, “There’s no need to apologize.
And you don't need to do anything to compensate.
I won't tell you what he did today.
But I don't think he will still need his hands.” His voice was cold and calm.
It was as if he was only talking about the weather.
Matteo immediately understood what Mitchel meant.
He responded, “Okay, Mr.
Dixon.” Jerry racked his brain, trying to recall what Jeff had done the entire day.
He still wanted to find a way out to overcome this predicament.
After a while, something popped up in Jerry's mind.
He remembered Jeff's conversation with his friend earlier.
Jeff made a bet with his friends that he would dare to steal someone's bag.
In the end, he did snatch a bag from a woman and accidentally hurt a woman in her early twenties.
Finally, Jerry understood what was going on.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and he trembled all over.
He was so scared that he stammered, "Mr.
Dixon, I...
I really didn't know that woman was your girl.
If I had known about it, ] would have this bastard stay in jail forever.
But please, I beg you, cut him some slack.
He is my only son.
If he loses his hands, he won't be able to live a normal life in the future.” Mitchel stood up and walked toward the door.
But after taking a few steps, he turned around, looked at Jerry, and sneered, "If you don't know how to discipline your son, someone will do it for you." Then he left without looking back.
Jeff's miserable scream sounded behind him, but he just ignored it.
The sound gradually weakened until it disappeared.
It turned out that Jeff had already fainted.
Raegan stayed in Serenity Villa the entire day.
She took a nap in the afternoon, and she had just woken up.
The sun had already set, and the sky was getting dark outside.
Raegan looked around and found that she was alone in the room.
She thought of the phone call that was hung up this afternoon.
Mitchel probably went to see Lauren.
This thought made her feel a bit depressed.
But it was only for a moment.
She quickly cheered herself up and tried to think of something else.
At this moment, Raegan's phone on the bedside table vibrated.
She reached out and fumbled for it with her left hand.
It was Nicole calling, so she answered it at once.
Nicole was inviting her to their college reunion tomorrow evening.
Raegan refused.
But she didn't want Nicole to worry about her, so she just said she was not feeling well and hung up.
She didn't say anything about her injury.
A few moments after Raegan hung up, she received a voice message from Henley.
"Nicole told me that you are not feeling well.
What happened? How are you feeling right now?” She replied with random excuses.
Henley sent another voice message.
"Rest well, so you'll recover soon.
I'll treat you to dinner when you feel better.” Raegan was about to reply when the lights in the room suddenly lit up.
The sudden brightness made her eyes uncomfortable, so she closed them.
Then a voice sounded.
"Who are you chatting with?" Raegan slowly opened her eyes and saw Mitchel standing at the door with one hand in his pocket.
His handsome face looked somber.
Raegan was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know how long Mitchel had been standing there.
Mitchel slowly walked to the bed.
He looked down at her and said indifferently, "Turn him down." Raegan frowned in confusion.
What did Mitchel mean? "If you can't do it, I'll help you," Mitchel added in a deep voice.
Raegan was still in a daze.
Before she knew it, Mitchel had already taken her phone away.
He held it with his slender fingers and was about to send a voice message.
Fortunately, Raegan came back to her senses.
She suddenly shouted, "Wait!" She was angry when she realized he had taken her phone.
"Why did you take my phone away?” "Since you can't afford to reject him by yourself, I'll do it for you.
Consider it as my help,” Mitchel replied casually.
Raegan took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.
She tried to reason with Mitchel.
“Don't misunderstand it.
He is my senior in college.
Nicole told him I was not feeling well, so he sent me a voice message.
He's only concerned.
That's all.” Mitchel looked at Raegan’s phone, then at her.
"Don't dine with him." "Huh? Why not?” Raegan frowned.
She was a little upset.
Mitchel flirted with Lauren in front of her.
He didn't even consider her feelings.
So why should she listen to him? Besides, she and Henley were just friends.
There was nothing romantic between them.
Why couldn't she dine with him? Was she not allowed to interact with her old friends? Mitchel still looked calm, but his eyes turned cold.
He curled his lips and threatened through clenched teeth, "I dare you to say it again." Raegan was rendered speechless.
She could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
It was as if she wanted to explode.
How could Mitchel be so unreasonable? "Mitchel, do you know what respect is? We are getting divorced.
You have no right to interfere with my social life." Mitchel sneered, "Is he the reason why you want to divorce me?" Raegan's mouth gaped open with incredulity.
She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Mitchel was the one who always treated her as a substitute.
How dare he question her now! She was fuming with rage now, but she didn't bother to explain anything to him.
She just said lightly, "Think whatever you want to think." Raegan knew that Mitchel would never change his heart.
He would never love her.
So, it was meaningless to argue with him.
"It's true, right?” Mitchel’s face darkened.
His eyes were now full of viciousness.
"Mitchel, let me remind you again.
We are getting divorced.
This is what you want, right? Why are you still making a fuss?” Mitchel's face turned pale upon hearing this.
He was at a loss for words.
When Raegan saw his reaction, she raised her eyes and continued, “When you flirted with Lauren, did you hear even a single word from me? Did 1 make a fuss? Don't you think you should mind your own business?" "Are you jealous of Lauren?” Mitchel looked at Raegan inquisitively.
His eyes were deep and piercing.
Raegan's heart skipped a beat when she heard Mitchel’s question.
He actually hit the nail on the head.
However, she no longer had the right to feel that way.
Who was she to be jealous? Instead of answering Mitchel's question, Raegan said, "You know what? I just don't understand.
Why can't I have a meal with other men while you can flirt with other women? Don't you think your attitude is a bit out of line? From now on, you don't have to worry about me.
Just leave me alone.
I am no longer your accessory.
I'm just waiting for our divorce certificate, so I can start a new life.
We'd better get used to it as soon as possible." After saying this, Raegan stood up, took her phone back from Mitchel, and put it on the bedside table.
Not knowing which part of her words irritated him, Mitchel’s handsome face turned gloomier.
He was silent for a while.
Then he sneered, "I'll tell you why.” Mitchel approached Raegan and pushed her.
Before she could figure out what he meant, he had already pressed her against the wall.
Raegan's back hit the wall.
But she didn’t feel much pain because Mitchel's hand immediately supported her back.
He then used his other hand to raise her chin, forcing her to look at him.
His eyes darkened even more.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Open your eyes and look at me." Mitchel looked at Raegan for a while.
Then he lowered his head, bit her lower lip, and kissed her.
At first, it was a punishing kiss.
But little by little, it became passionate and deep.
Raegan's mind went totally blank.
She was so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe.
She didn't even get the chance to think.
She became more muddled when she felt Mitchel's tongue penetrating her mouth.
Raegan's heartbeat went abnormally fast.
It was as if her heart would jump out of her chest at any moment.
She tried to push Mitchel away with her left hand in vain.
Mitchel was not moved by Raegan's strength at all.
Instead, he felt Raegan was like a kitten tickling his chest.
He looked at her beautiful face, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
His eyes were filled with lust, and his body became a little restless.
It had been more than half a month since the last time Mitchel had slept with Raegan.
Kissing her at this moment made him lose control of his desire.
He could no longer hold on.
Mitchel looked at Raegan for a while.
Then he lowered his head, bit her lower lip, and kissed her.
At first, it was a punishing kiss.
But little by little, it became passionate and deep.
