She thought perhaps Mitchel, busy with other matters, hadn't updated it, especially since a new house would likely be purchased for any future marriage in the Dixon family.

Navigating the house with familiarity, she noticed it was dark, save for a sliver of light from the bedroom.

As Raegan approached the door, she glimpsed Mitchel on the balcony through a gap. He stood there, cigarette in hand, still in his formal suit, as though he just returned from a social event.

Under the moonlight, he appeared both lonely and weary.

"Lonely" for Mitchel? That word didn't fit right.

Raegan tapped softly on the door. Mitchel, after exhaling a plume of smoke, turned to look at her, his expression devoid of either surprise or pleasure.

His lack of surprise stemmed from Matteo's prior notification of her arrival.

His displeasure arose from the realization that Raegan's visit was motivated by concern for Nicole, not for him.

He snorted. Raegan had never shown such concern for him as she did for Nicole.

This realization cast a shadow over Mitchel's eyes.

Resolved to save Nicole, Raegan stepped forward.

She approached Mitchel and spoke.

Angela's Library

"Mitchel."

Mitchel remained silent, prompting Raegan to continue, "Can you help get Nicole out of the detention center?"

She believed that even if she couldn't sway Jarrod, Mitchel could get Nicole out of the detention.

Upon hearing her request, Mitchel's expression shifted slightly.

So, Raegan went straight to the point.

Previously, she sought Jarrod's help to release Nicole. Now, she turned to him for assistance regarding Nicole's situation.

Mitchel raised an eyebrow, countering, "It's not a hard thing. But why should I help you?"

Taking a deep breath, Raegan approached Mitchel. She raised her face, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"IU offer what you want in return, Is that fair?"

To her dismay, Mitchel seemed unmoved.

Feeling desperate, Raegan began to unbutton her coat.

Mitchel was surprised by her boldness. He had known Raegan first sought Henley's help.
