Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 205

? ? ? ? ?

As Mitchel spoke, he reached out to take Raegan's hand.

Thinking that it was inappropriate for her to stay here when they were arguing, she managed to shake off Mitchel's hand and walked away.

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

Their clasped hands ignited something in Alexis' heart. He couldn't believe that his son would upset the Benton family and abandon the lucrative project for a woman like Raegan. To him, Raegan was nothing more than a beauty of humble origins, who did the family business no favors.

«If you have something to say, say it. "I need to rest."

Mitchel said calmly.

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

«He abused his position for his own benefit and acted in collusion with external parties. The evidence was irrefutable,” Mitchel explained.

«But it was only minor information that he sold. In such a big company, it's not just him who does those things.

Mitchel gave Alexis a cold look and swore, "I will expose them all and spare none."

«How dare you! “Those veterans have been with me from the beginning, and they are about to retire.”

Alexis threw daggers at Mitchel and snorted: “Did you even consult me ​​before sending them away? How dare you despise my position.

Mitchel sneered, his laughter adding a chill to the atmosphere.

"And when did you consult me ​​before harming my people?"

"Who have I harmed?" Alexis asked, surprised.

Without even sparing her a glance, Mitchel said disdainfully, “You should leave now. Don't bother us anymore."

His emphasis on "us" was deliberate.

It was then that Alexis realized that by "my people," Mitchel meant Raegan.

No wonder Alexis didn't take Raegan seriously.

In his eyes, Raegan was a former daughter-in-law with no significant status and not someone he felt obligated to ingratiate himself with.

This realization fueled his fury. The fact that Mitchel had fired his informants in the company just because of Raegan irritated him.

Furthermore, those informants who had been working for Alexis for years had never been a concern for Mitchel. But now, Mitchel was dismissing them as a tool of intimidation.

Unable to contain her anger, Alexis pointed accusingly at Raegan and growled, “It seems like what I said to you that day went in one ear and out the other. You ignored my words and came back to make trouble. You're not just shameless. You are clever.

Let me warn you. Kyler's condition is failing. Once he's gone, I will never let someone like you marry into the Dixon family. "You better give up the idea of ​​remarrying Mitchel."

Raegan, already eager to get out of there, turned paler at Alexis' sudden outburst.

Alexis's fury had not yet cooled. And to Raegan's surprise, he raised his hand, wanting to hit her.

A slap! The sound of a slap resounded loudly.

Raegan squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself for impact.

However, to his surprise, he felt no pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Mitchel had stepped in and protected her from the blow.

Alexis stood there, stunned. His intention was to hit Raegan. But in the chaos, his slap had landed squarely on Mitchel's jaw.

Mitchel realized that if he hadn't intervened, Raegan would have been the one most affected by the slap. Thinking about it, his eyes turned cold.

Although hitting back at his father was not an option, he was not without resources.

Right in front of Alexis, Mitchel dialed a number and rattled off a list of names.

«Investigate these individuals thoroughly. If you discover any irregularities, transfer the case to the prosecutor's office and file charges.

Alexis's complexion dulled.

The individuals Mitchel targeted for investigation were confidants of Alexis. This move by Mitchel was a clear sign of his way back. Not only was it detrimental to the company's internal harmony, but it also posed a threat to its image and reputation.

Alexis pointed accusingly at Mitchel.

«Do you still see me as your father? I did all this for your good! How can you oppose me for a woman? Have you ever thought about the repercussions for the company?

"If you care so much about the company, stop provoking me."

Mitchel replied.

«This is the last warning. Don't hurt my people.

And what is most important, do not speak badly of her, so as not to insult her.

If you pressure me any more, jail will be the least of your problems.

Mitchel's threat was raw and brazen. She made sure Raegan heard her.

Alexis seethed with rage and felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her chest. His authority and dignity were completely undermined.

At this moment, he clutched his chest and exclaimed, “You are such an unfilial son! You have the nerve to send the company's elders to the police for her. And now what? Are you going to send me to the police station tomorrow?

“As long as you refrain from acting recklessly, I can guarantee you a peaceful retirement.”

Mitchel's implication was clear. If Alexis crossed the line, especially with Raegan, Mitchel wouldn't hesitate to take action, even if it meant putting his father in jail.

“How dare you!” Alexis grabbed the railing. He was so furious that he was struggling to breathe.

Suddenly, Mitchel shouted: "Matteo!"

Matteo approached Mitchel, who ordered: «Go with him to see the doctor. Also, put two bodyguards at the door. Let no one like him enter. Alexis could hardly believe what she was hearing. Mitchel was going for him.

That was exactly what he had said moments before. But now, his own words were being used against him.

Alexis felt a tightness in her chest. He rolled his eyes as Matteo helped him out of the room.

Now only Mitchel and Raegan were left in the room.

Noticing that Mitchel's jaw was red and swollen, Raegan guided him to sit on the couch.

"Wait here."

He quickly grabbed a piece of ice from the freezer, wrapped it in gauze, and gently applied it to his jaw.

On the couch, Mitchel's tall frame made the space seem almost too small.

To better apply the cold compress, Raegan knelt on the couch, one leg bent for balance.

Mitchel's eyes were captivating. They were deep and inviting, with an almost whirling intensity at their center that seemed to draw people in every time they looked at them.

Raegan's heart skipped a beat. Feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze, she bit her lip and urged, “Close your eyes.”

"Because? Are you ashamed? » Mitchel joked with a light chuckle. He found her shy expression endearing.

"Well, you do it." Raegan handed him the ice pack. But he grabbed her wrist gently, but firmly, and pulled her close as if he were hugging her.

"Help me and I'll behave," Mitchel said, his voice low and slightly hoarse. It was easy to miss it if you weren't paying attention.

He closed his eyes and rested his hand on her slender waist.

With his eyes closed, the hypnotizing power of his gaze was hidden, drawing attention instead to the marked lines of his face. Different but delicate.

Even with his eyes closed, Mitchel's appearance was still striking.

Her long, straight eyelashes added to her attractiveness.

Raegan couldn't help but marvel at his beautiful features. How blessed he was.

However, more than his looks, what surprised her was his instinct to protect her from Alexis's slap.

The memory of Alexis's eyes rolling in frustration and being escorted away brought a sense of satisfaction to Raegan.

With these thoughts, Raegan tended to Mitchel in a gentler manner.

But in a fleeting moment of distraction, her hand accidentally brushed his lips.

Her lips were unexpectedly soft and delicate.

At the unexpected contact, Raegan felt a jolt through her body.

"Enough," she murmured, eager to escape that moment.

However, Mitchel grabbed her firmly by the waist and pulled her onto his lap.

The small sofa seemed to shrink even more.

Then, with a gentle but firm movement, Mitchel cradled her face in his hands…
