Lose Contact Raegan's mind went blank.

She felt like she was struck by thunder, and all the blood in her body was drained.

She stared at the woman, and her lips trembled several times.

In the end, she only uttered, "Tessa Lloyd..." When Raegan spoke these two words, it was as if she had poured out her deep- rooted resentment.

This callous woman was the person who viciously took the life of her unborn child.

"I'm impressed! I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance," Tessa sneered in a coarse and hoarse voice.

It was as if her throat was scorched by searing tongs, sounding eerie in the dead of night.

Tessa wore a mask and a_ broad-brimmed hat, covering half of her face.

So, she was a bit surprised that Raegan recognized her by just looking at her eyes.

Anger surged and overwhelmed Raegan's heart.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

She glared at Tessa and said through clenched teeth, "How dare you show up here!" Tessa's eyes were full of malice.

She retorted sinisterly, "Ha-ha! Why don't I dare to show up? You ruined my life! Do you honestly think I will let you off the hook? As she spoke, her voice was full of madness.

Raegan alertly reached for the pepper spray in her bag while trying to divert Tessa's attention.

"Tessa, you are a wanted criminal now.

If I were you, I would surrender and stop making things worse." Tessa stared at Raegan with bloodshot eyes and laughed cruelly "Ha-ha! You wretched woman! I'm here today to drag you to hell." As Tessa spoke, she swiftly pulled out a spray bottle and aimed it at Raegan.

A peculiar fragrance filled the air.

Raegan instinctively covered her mouth and nose, but it was too late.

Raegan had already inhaled some of it, making her feel dizzy.

She leaned against the wall and staggered backward.

Raegan fumbled for the pepper spray in her bag, only to realize it was missing.

She panicked, unable to recall where she had put it.

Raegan began to see phantoms in front of her.

But she didn't want to admit defeat.

She slammed her bag against Tessa desperately, hoping to get away.

But unfortunately, Tessa evaded it effortlessly.

Tessa watched Raegan struggle desperately.

She smiled sinisterly.

"Stop struggling.

You're only wasting your energy.

Do you think you can escape from me?" The spray she used was commonly known as the one -minute knockout. Even a strong man or a fierce beast wouldn't last for a minute once exposed to it.

Raegan's attempt to cover her mouth and nose was futile.

The drug was so strong that it would still affect her. Tessa was safe only because she wore a specially designed mask. Tessa leisurely watched Raegan stumble toward the elevator while counting unhurriedly, "Thirty-nine... Thirty-eight...

Thirty-seven..." At this moment, Raegan's hallucinations intensified. She could barely stand up when she arrived in front of the elevator. She knelt on the floor and reached for the down button. Raegan heard a ding. Then, the elevator doors opened. Raegan mustered all her strength and crawled in with difficulty. She fumbled for her phone in her pocket, wanting to call the emergency hotline. But when she looked at the screen, everything was blurry and shadowy. Suddenly, a slap sound echoed in the corridor. It turned out that Raegan slapped herself hard to remain sober. But her hand had weakened. Her slap was more like an attempt to relieve an itch. But she didn't want to give up just like that. The next thing she did was bite her wrist so hard that fresh red blood oozed out, feeling her mouth with the taste of blood. Finally, before the elevator doors slowly closed, she managed to press a number. The next moment, a slender hand grabbed the elevator, stopping the elevator from closing its doors. Tessa stood there, still counting down. "Three... Two...

One...

I got you!" Tessa cackled with a harsh and unpleasant laughter. Before Raegan totally lost consciousness, she shouted, "Tessa!" Then, everything turned black, and she fainted. Inside the black luxury car, Mitchel accidentally touched something on the seat. He picked it up and found it was pepper spray. His handsome face twisted with displeasure. It must be Raegan's. Did she buy it to stop him from approaching her? At this moment, his phone rang. He turned his head and looked at it on the seat next to him. When Mitchel saw the name flashing on the screen, he froze, and his brows furrowed. He couldn't believe it for a moment. What made Raegan call him out of the blue? He quickly picked up his phone and answered it. He couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. "What's ou But there was only a faint buzz on the other end of the line. Suddenly, a hoarse and unpleasant laughter echoed, reminiscent of a scalded duck throat. Mitchel's eyes narrowed, and the expression on his flawless face froze.

Before he could come back to his senses, the call ended. "Turn the car around! Go back to the Purple Magnolia Apartments," Mitchel ordered with a darkened expression. Then, he instructed Matteo, "Check Raegan's whereabouts." Matteo was stunned when he saw the unusual anxiety on Mitchel's face. He sensed something was off with Raegan. Matteo opened his laptop and immediately contacted the IT Department to trace Raegan's exact location.

He had gotten the results in five minutes. Matteo turned to Mitchel with a solemn expression and reported, "Mr. Dixon, her phone signal was last detected at ten-fifteen in the Purple Magnolia Apartments. Then, it was cut off." Mitchel's company's IT Department had advanced technology capable of tracking a phone's location,

whether it was turned off, submerged in water, burnt, or damaged.

However, when the signal was cut off, it was an indication that a skilled hacker was involved, blocking the signal. Mitchel's expression turned cold.

He ordered sternly, "Get in touch with the team assigned to locate Tessa.

See if there's any updates." Matteo immediately made a phone call to check.

Ever since Tessa disappeared, Mitchel had arranged for some people to track her down.

The latest news they got was that she was in the coastal area.

After a few minutes, Matteo reported to Mitchel, "Mr.

Dixon, Tessa is no longer in the coastal area.

She is likely in Ardlens." Mitchel immediately exuded an icy aura, reminiscent of a devil having crawled from the depths of hell. He said in a frigidly cold voice, "She must be the one who kidnapped Raegan.

Keep searching for her." At this time, Mitchel had already arrived at the apartment Raegan lived in.

Mitchel strode purposefully toward the elevator.

In the corridor, he saw a beige shoulder bag lying quietly on the floor.

Its contents were scattered.

Mitchel stood tall, staring at the bag with a calm expression.

But his trembling hands betrayed his emotions.

He was always a calm problem solver.

But for the first time, he was panicky about Raegan's being kidnapped.

Matteo quickly caught up with Mitchel and reported, "Mr.

Dixon, all the surveillance videos of her departure have been deliberately destroyed.

It will take time to retrieve them." Mitchel's brows furrowed tightly.

When he regained his composure, he instructed, "Tessa must have used a car to take Raegan away.

Check all the surrounding roads.

Monitor them one by one meticulously.

Now." Raegan felt she was in a deep slumber for a long time, tormented by nightmares.

In her dream, there were flashes of white light.

It was as if someone was taking pictures of her.

She struggled to open her eyes but could only discern a towering silhouette.

The silhouette slowly approached Raegan, giving her a clearer view of a man's features.

Her vision was hazy, and she thought it was Mitchel.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She tried her best to speak.

"Mitchel, is that you?" The towering man paused.
