Chapter 77
Surprise In a sh, the soft spot Mitchel had in his heart for Raegan evaporated.
Mitchel had never been one to sweet-talk women.
Well, a few times, sure.
But now, Raegan''s demands were downright unreasonable to him.
What he hated the most was being threatened by other people.
With his tongue against the back of his teeth, he snapped, “Raegan, can you stop being childish and
using the divorce to threaten me again and again?” However, Raegan was not having it, and his words
no longer had an effect on her.
The spark that once flickered in her heart had gone out, extinguished for good.
"I''m serious, Mitchel.
I''ve been a fool for believing in you time after time." "Raegan, you!” Mitchel uttered in a fit of anger.
He felt an overwhelming urge to smash his phone against the wall.
Then, through gritted teeth, he snarled, "I think you need to calm down!" The instant he finished these
words, the call was ended.
Raegan had already disconnected the call.
Mitchel was furious and his eyes full of rage.
Bang! Unable to take his frustrations any longer, he hurled his phone against the wall.
Meanwhile, Matteo wandered in and happened to hear Mitchel''s heated conversation over the call.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Mr.
Dixon, would you like me to check in on Mrs.
Dixon?" "No need!" Mitchel answered with a deep scowl.
"I don''t want to hear another word about her!” In his mind, he had indulged Raegan to the point that she
had be absurdly unreasonable.
She had even resorted to threatening him with the divorce repeatedly.
Determined, he resolved to give her the cold shoulder until she realized her fault.
On the other end, Raegan seemed calmer after ending the call.
Looks could be deceiving, though.
Time was running out for her grandmother.
Even if her grandmother could only spend one more hour in her house, Raegan would try to make it
happen.
Just then, a nurse approached Raegan and asked, “Are you a family of the patient in Bed No.
304?" Raegan''s appearance was so outstanding that the nurse remembered Raegan even though she
had only visited her grandma several times.
"Yes." Raegan nodded and asked, "What''s the matter?” For some reason, the nurse seemed a little
uneasy.
"Someone''s looking for you there.
Be careful," she said cryptically.
Raegan, puzzled by the nurse''s words, hurried to her grandmother''s ward.
The moment she stepped into the ward, a woman lunged at her and pped her across the face.
Already drained emotionally and physically, Raegan lost her bnce and tumbled to the floor.
A fat woman stormed up, Jabbed her finger at Raegan, and yelled, "You home-wrecker! How dare you
try to steal my husband! Thank God I finally got you!" Raegan was confused, having no idea who these
people in her grandmother''s ward were.

With a perplexed look on her face, she shot back, "Who even are you? Have we met? Who the hellis
your husband?” Her protests fell on deaf ears.
These people were clearly here to make a scene.
Before Raegan had a chance to defend herself further, the fat woman grabbed Raegan by the hair and
signaled her friend to hit Raegan''s face, leaving it red and swollen.
Meanwhile, Raegan''s grandmother, who had just been berated by these women who used Raegan
of stealing someone''s husband, was still catching her breath.
When she saw Raegan being assaulted, she felt as if her heart was being ripped, and she murmured,
"Don’t touch my granddaughter...
Let her go..." Despite being frail, she tried to climb out of bed to stop them, only to copse onto the
floor, wincing in pain.
Smack! A sound echoed through the room.
An egg sttered across Raegan''s grandmother''s wrinkled face.
The fat woman did not have the heart to escte things too far with an elderly person.
Therefore, she resorted to verbal abuse and shouted, "The apple doesn''t fall far from the tree.
Neither of you is any good!" Copsed on the floor, Raegan''s grandmother struggled for air.
She was too feeble to even wipe the egg off her face, and she could only mutter weakly to defend
Raegan, "Don''t hurt my granddaughter.
She''s not what you''re saying.
Let her go...” At this moment, Raegan felt as if a knife had pierced through her heart.
She was overwhelmed by a pain so intense it made her shudder.
Why? Why were they treating her grandmother like this? With her hands on her hips, the fat woman
sneered at Raegan''s grandmother and said, "Listen up, you old hag.
Your granddaughter has an affair with another woman''s husband.
Today''s the day she learns her lesson..." Before the fat woman could finish her words, Raegan charged
at the fat woman and sunk her teeth deep into the woman''s arm.
Flesh tore, and blood spurted everywhere.
"Ah! What have you done?" the fat woman screamed in pain.
Meanwhile, her aplices were too stunned to continue their assault.
Blood trickled down the woman’s arm, and sttered onto Raegan''s face.
Atst, Raegan let go of the fat woman and spat at her.
As she stood in front of her grandmother, she roared hysterically, “If anyone dares toy a finger on my
grandma again, you''ll have to get through me first.
I swear to God I''ll take you down with me!” Just then, Kendra burst into the room.
Although terrified, she shielded Raegan''s grandmother with her own body.
Facing these women was daunting.
They looked wealthy and powerful, after all.
Kendra''s first instinct was to bolt, but her conscience would not let her abandon Raegan and Raegan''s
grandma.
With tears streaming down her face, Kendra looked at the onlookers and loudly said, "Don''t listen to
these women.
They''re horrible people.
Miss Hayes is a good person!" Hearing Kendra''s plea, the crowd began to murmur among themselves.
Though no one stepped up to help Raegan, they somehow sympathized with her.
Meanwhile, Raegan wiped the blood off her face and stood tall.
To everyone''s surprise, she pulled out her phone and started taking photos of the assants.
Then, while looking into their eyes, she dered, "You think you can frame me, tarnish my reputation,
and assault me without consequences? Think again.” Those who made a scene now felt a twinge of
fear and their expressions shifted.
They were Just here to back up the fat woman, who promised she would give them ten thousand
dors for helping her blow off steam.
Truth be told, they had no clue whether Raegan was guilty of the usations or not.
Moreover, they hailed from reputable families and did not want to go to jail over something like this.
Noticing the apprehensive looks on these women''s faces, some in the crowd began to question their
initial assumptions.
Could it be that Raegan and her grandmother were the victims here? Ganging up on an elderly woman
and a youngdy was too much.
Just then, a red-haired woman with pink lips strutted into the ward in high heels.
She looked down her nose at everyone and demanded, "Do you have any evidence that she''s a
homewrecker?" At first nce, the question seemed to support Raegan.
But when Raegan looked up at the owner of the voice, her heart sank.
It was Tessa.
The next moment, Tessatched onto Raegan''s arm as if they were old friends and asked with
apparent concern, “Raegan, are you okay? Your face is a mess.
These people are terrible.” The fat woman red at Tessa and seethed.
"You know this bitch?” "Yes, we''re acquainted.
What''s your business here? If you have evidence, let''s see it.” Tessa’s air of righteousness convinced
the crowd she was here to back up Raegan.
But then, with a smile as sly as a fox, she leaned in and whispered to Raegan, “Hold tight, Raegan.
I’ve got a nice little surprise for you, courtesy of Lauren.”
