Chapter 330 Someone Else''s Fiancé


    "Okay, I see," Nicole replied, her voice low and strained, as she supported her forehead, indicating pain.


    Roscoe hesitated before asking, "Nicole, would you like to hear Austin''s voice?"


    Nicole found herself unable to speak, feeling as if her throat was constricted and her heart was aching. After a lengthy silence, Nicole responded in a voice cold and devoid of emotion, "No, that''s not necessary."


    Then, she ended the call.


    Nicole''s gaze drifted into the distance, a touch of sorrow in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a cold tear stream down her cheek. At that moment, all her facades crumbled. She had never imagined that one day she would have suchplex feelings about a child.


    Curling her shoulders in, shey on the floor, crying in a manner both desperate and helpless. It wasn''t hysterical, but her heart was in agony.


    The video of Lauren and Sherry''s fight went viral online, propelling their names to the top of the trending search list for several days. It was, after all, sensational news.


    Eagerizens unearthed all the men Sherry had been involved with, revealing they were all married. Notably, they uncovered an alleged ambiguous rtionship between Sherry and her stepfather, a revtion that left many fans feeling disgusted.


    Sherry''s reputation took a significant hit, losing a vast number of followers almost overnight.


    Additionally, brands that had previously partnered with Sherry were quick to issue statements terminating their contracts.


    The fallout was severe. Sherry faced public criticism and was liable for heftypensations. The funds she had amassed were insufficient to cover thepensations.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    The next day, the police made a public announcement regarding Sherry''s husband, Cary ke, the head of Sino Entertainment, stating his arrest for sexual molestation.


    This news marked aplete turnaround in the situation. Those misled folks who had blindly supported Sherry and caused amotion at Janey''s kindergarten were detained by the police. Those who had supported Sherry expressed regret for their impulsive actions and posted apologies online.


    As a result of these events, Raegan and Crescent studio gained significant media attention.


    Numerouspanies reached out for coborations, inundating Crescent with orders.


    Even regr customers of Alpire Studio showed interest in Crescent, eager for future coborations.


    Lauren, the director of Alpire Studio, was adversely affected by the exposure of her misdeeds. Although not directly involved in Cary''s case, Alpire Studio''s stock prices plummeted.


    Despite Alpire Studio''s overnight statement about removing Lauren from the board, the damage to thepany''s reputation was irreversible.


    Most of the clientele for customized high-end outfitsprised pop stars, affluent women, and executives ofrgepanies.


    The fashion design world, known for its diversity, saw customers increasingly open to exploring new designs rather than sticking to a single brand. Crescent''s design concept aligned perfectly with this trend, drawing more attention to the studio.


    Raegan was exceptionally busy at the studio, but thankfully, Elin was there to assist her. Elin''s skills in design and management were a significant aid.


    Meanwhile, Janey, still traumatized by the school incident, often woke up in the middle of the night. Consequently, Raegan spent two consecutive nightsforting Janey, resulting in noticeable dark circles under her eyes.


    Upon noticing Raegan''s exhaustion, Annis suggested she take a nap. However, it was rare for Raegan to have a day off and she had promised to take Janey to the amusement park, so she shook her head, albeit reluctantly.


    Janey was buzzing with excitement. Early in the morning, she began picking out her outfit,ying out a collection of lovely dresses.


    Annis eventually chose a red dress for her,plete with a cloak and a small ''hood, making Janey look incredibly adorable.


    Annis, ying along, asked, "Why are you so excited about the amusement park, Janey?"


    Janey''s reply was immediate and sweet. "Because I can see the person I like."


    Puzzled, Annis inquired, "And who might that be, Janey?"


    "Daddy Mitchel. He promised to go to the amusement park with me," Janey responded cheerfully.


    Annis was taken aback by this revtion, as she hadn''t heard Raegan make any ns with Mitchel.


    Gently patting Janey''s head, Annis suggested, "Why don''t you y with your baby rabbit for a bit? I''ll check if your mommy is ready to leave."


    In Raegan''s room, Annis ryed Janey''s words to Raegan. Raegan was equally surprised. It didn''t take long for her to recall Mitchel''sforting words about visiting the amusement park with Janey.


    Ever a naive girl, Janey didn''t realize the reason Mitchel had said so at that time mainly tofort her, given Mitchel''s tight schedule.


    This put Raegan in a tough spot. She assumed Mitchel might not be avable, given he was the CEO of the Dixon Group.


    Moreover, Raegan felt ufortable at the thought of going to the amusement park with her ex-husband.


    With these thoughts in mind, Raegan approached Janey, wanting to negotiate with her.


    "Janey, how about going to the amusement park just with mommy today?" Raegan suggested gently.


    At these words, the excited gleam in Janey''s eyes vanished. Unlike other children, Janey was quite sensitive. She assumed Mitchel no longer wanted to apany her to the amusement park. Trying to hold back her tears, she pursed her lips and gave a sulky nod. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to go with Raegan, but she was upset because Mitchel had promised to join them. How could he just break his promise?


    Janey''s disappointment was evident. She took off the cloak she had chosen and retreated to a corner, clutching her toy rabbit.


    Soon, Annis found Janey sobbing quietly.


    Raegan, seeing this, felt a pang of guilt. Understanding Janey''s sensitivity, she knew why the little girl was so upset.


    Annis, unable to see Janey like this, suggested, "Why not call Mr. Dixon and check if he''s avable?"


    Raegan had no option but to dial Mitchel''s number anyway.


    The phone rang for a long time without being picked up. Raegan almost gave up, but the image of Janey''s disappointed face prompted her to try again.


    This time, the call connected after a few rings.


    Raegan felt a surge of nervousness as she began to speak. "Hey, I''m calling to ask if you''re free..."


    Before she could finish, a woman''s voice interrupted from the other end of the line. "I''m sorry, but Mitchel is currently in a meeting," the voice on the other end informed her.


    Raegan was momentarily taken aback. Then the woman inquired, "Is this Raegan Foster?"


    Raegan confirmed her identity, and the woman introduced herself, "It''s Katie. We met the other day."


    Raegan recalled the name but had little interest in prolonging the conversation with Katie. She responded politely but briefly, "Well, if he''s not avable, that''s all I needed to know. Bye!"


    However, Katie seemed keen on continuing the conversation.


    She said with a chuckle, "Raegan, I recall you mentioning you had no feelings for Mitchelst time. If that''s the case, perhaps you should ask other men to handle your personal matters. Don''t you think? After all, it''s not quite appropriate to keep disturbing someone else''s fiancé, right?"
