Love Unbreakable

Chapter 335 Why Did You Bring Me Here

Raegan couldn't believe her ears. Her reaction said it all as she rolled her eyes in disbelief. Just how many women had Mitchel been engaged to? He couldn't even remember which one it was! 

With a sneer tugging at the corners of her mouth, Raegan sarcastically asked, "Mr. Dixon, how many fiancées do you have, huh?"

Mitchel took a moment to think before finally recalling a name. "You mean, Katie?"

Raegan fixed him with a contemptuous stare, her beautiful eyes filled with ridicule.

Mitchel grew increasingly irritated by her scrutiny and tried to explain, "That's not true. It's just some PR stunt. I've never been engaged to any other woman."

If Raegan hadn't read those reports, she might have believed him. She trusted Mitchel enough not to lie about something like this.

However, after ending the call, Raegan decided to consult Erick for more information on Mitchel's engagement status.

Before long, Erick sent Raegan a barrage of reports he had found online. It was clearly stated in one of them that Luciana and Katie's father had confirmed Mitchel's engagement to Katie, though they hadn't made it public.

"Take a look at this, Raegan. This man is even more complicated than you thought. Stay away from him," Erick warned Raegan through a text.

If it weren't for Raegan's apparent annoyance toward Mitchel, Erick would have jokingly crafted her a badge. that read Raegan needed to maintain her distance from Mitchel.

Raegan assumed it was an undeniable truth. But for some reason, Mitchel remained obstinate, refusing to admit it.

Raegan couldn't tell if he was playing dumb or thinking she was stupid.

With her chin resting on her hand, Raegan observed Mitchel's handsome face and sneered, "You're involved with Lauren while engaged to another woman. On top of that, you're even entangled with your ex-wife. It appears my brother is spot on about you. You're a philandering scoundrel with a promiscuous lifestyle."Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her words rendered Mitchel speechless. His anger welled up, nearly robbing him of his breath. Since when had he become such a libertine?

"You'll believe anything your brother tells you, won't you?" Mitchel retorted, his lips quivering with frustration.

"Of course. Besides him, who else can I trust?" Raegan frowned and continued, "Are you suggesting that I should trust you instead? You've been deceiving me right from the start. You promised to listen to me, no matter what I said, but all you did was threaten me. And now you want to talk to me about fairness?"

Mitchel found himself at a loss for words upon hearing Raegan's accusations. Deep down, he knew she had a point. But when he saw her with another man, all rationality seemed to escape him, and he conveniently forgot his promises.

At that moment, his only thought was to keep Raegan all to himself, away from anyone else's reach.

Mitchel raised a hand to massage his throbbing temples and helplessly said, "As long as you're not seeing other men, you can do as you please."

"I have the freedom to connect with other people. Who gives you the right to control me? I'm not your pet. And why should listen to your commands? Just because you resort to threats, you think I should be intimidated by you?"

Raegan couldn't shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong with Mitchel. He always seemed so unreasonable and did things that defied explanation.

Hearing her words, Mitchel felt a tightness in his chest. He tugged at his tie in irritation and earnestly said, "I never wanted to hurt you, and I'll never do that."

"But you're hurting me right now," Raegan said firmly.

She gazed at him with seriousness and continued, "You forced me into the car against my will. Do you realize how scared I am?"

Upon hearing this, Mitchel took a deep breath and said in a helpless tone, "You don't have to be afraid of me. As I've said, I won't hurt you, and I'll never let you get hurt."

In truth, he was willing to risk his own life to protect her. Raegan, however, remained unconvinced. Mitchel had left an indelible impression as a domineering and rude person. And right now, she had no interest in reasoning with him or entertaining his nonsense.

"Fine. Whatever. Can you please just take me back now?" Raegan demanded.

Mitchel lifted his head and replied, "Not now."

Raegan's anger surged within her. It seemed she had been wasting her saliva on a pig-headed and obstinate person!

"I've had enough of this! You liar!" Raegan pushed him away and tried to jump out of the car.

Thankfully, Mitchel was quick on his feet and managed to stop her in time. He firmly held her and locked eyes with her. "Don't act rashly. We've arrived at our destination."

Raegan peered out of the window and realized they were parked in front of an upscale club. She eyed Mitchel warily and questioned, "Why are you bringing me here? I won't go inside with you."

"Don't worry. I won't do anything to you. There's someone inside the club you're interested in," Mitchel replied calmly. "Who could that be?" Raegan asked, still suspicious.

Mitchel finally loosened his grip. "Let's go inside and find out." Raegan regarded him with skepticism, wondering if he was playing some sort of trick on her.

Mitchel sensed her doubt, and his expression darkened. "If I really wanted to do something to you, would I need to go through all this trouble?"

Raegan couldn't help but get even more furious. How dare he look at her as if she was deliberately giving him a hard time? If he hadn't been constantly harassing her, she wouldn't be so suspicious of his motives.

Seeing the anger in Raegan's eyes, Mitchel hurriedly explained,

"Don't worry. I'll take you home after this."

With his assurance, Raegan managed to rein in her temper. If he kept his word, she wouldn't mind taking a look inside the club. After all, she was sure Mitchel wouldn't harm her, even though he could be quite obnoxious at times.

Without further ado, Raegan followed Mitchel into a chamber upstairs.

They took their seats, and a waiter promptly served beverages and dessert. When the waiter left, he closed the door behind him, leaving only the two of them in the confined space.

Their seats were so close that Raegan could detect the subtle fragrance of Mitchel's suit. Feeling a bit uneasy, she tried to shift away, but he firmly grasped her wrist and pulled her closer.

The next second, Raegan nearly stumbled into his arms. She pushed him away and, with evident anger, demanded, "What the hell do you want?"

Ignoring her anger, Mitchel firmly held her shoulder and calmly said, "Just wait and see."

As soon as he said those words, the large curtain in the private room was suddenly drawn aside, revealing that they were in two adjoining rooms.

In the adjacent room sat a woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a white dress, revealing her slender legs. Her attire somewhat made her appear vulnerable.

Raegan was perplexed by the sight before her.

A burly bodyguard in black attire stepped forward and turned the chair to reveal the woman's face.

At the sight of it, Raegan's eyes widened in shock. The woman seated there was none other than Lauren.

However, Lauren's appearance was far from what Raegan had expected.

Lauren's face bore signs of a recent ordeal. Her nose and chin had evidently been injured during a fight. She hadn't sought medical attention, causing inflammation and festering. Her injuries looked quite disturbing.

Raegan recalled hearing some mention of Lauren a few days ago.

Following the incident at the press conference, several wealthy women whom Lauren had wronged united, offering a reward to track Lauren down. They vowed to exact revenge on Lauren once they found her.

Lauren had been in hiding ever since she got wind of the news, and her whereabouts had remained unknown.

Raegan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why would Mitchel bring her to see Lauren?

The last time Lauren had incited others to attack Janey, Raegan had exposed those incriminating videos to teach Lauren a lesson.

Raegan wasn't inherently a vindictive person. Lauren had already faced the consequences of her actions, so Raegan had no intention of pursuing the matter any further.

As Raegan contemplated this, she raised her head, coincidentally at the same time that Mitchel lowered his head. Her lips inadvertently brushed against his chin, causing Raegan to blush. She tried to pull away, but thanks to Mitchel's quick reflexes, he caught her by the back.

Mitchel lowered his head, his thin lips hovering tantalizingly close to hers. His warm breath brushed against her skin, but he made no further move.

"Are you curious about what happened?" he asked with an amused tone.

Feeling his warm breath on her ear, Raegan turned her face away and retorted, "Move away from me."

"Roger that." Mitchel released his grip on her and asked gently, "Would you like to hear the story?"

Just then, the tape sealing Lauren's mouth was removed. However, it seemed the bodyguard had been a bit too forceful, causing her lips to bleed. The cracked corners of her mouth only added to her unsettling appearance.

Seeing Mitchel and Raegan's closeness, Lauren clenched her teeth, and a flicker of resentment flashed in her eyes.

But, the next instant, Lauren put on a pitiful expression and asked in a fearful tone, "Mitchel, why did you bring me here?"
