Be Done With It In the quiet of the night, Mitchel’s gaze darkened with uncertainty.

He desperately wanted to believe Raegan’s words, but the doctor's words, that damning report, and Henley now lying on the ground made her statement seem increasingly implausible.

As his hesitation grew, Raegan's heart felt as if a heavy stone had settled within it.

It was clear that, even with the truth on her lips, Mitchel remained skeptical, unwilling to trust her words.

Nevertheless, she had to make it unequivocally clear that she couldn't allow Henley to get entangled in this mess.

Tears welled in her eyes as she explained, "I was only so angry that you didn't believe me, so I lied to you.

The child is yours." Raegan cast a sorrowful glance at Henley, who was bravely enduring the pain on the ground.

In a choked voice, she added, "Can you please let Henley tend to his wounds first?" Henley had come to her aid in moments of despair countless times, and now, he lay battered because of her.

The overwhelming guilt kept her tears flowing.

Mitchel looked at the scene with a cold, unyielding gaze, his throbbing headache adding to his agony.

He grasped Raegan's chin and forcefully turned her to face him.

He asked coldly, "Raegan, are you lying to me again just to protect this man?" Mitchell's vice-like grip caused Raegan to cry out in pain.

She managed to push him away and stammered, "I didn't...

I didn't lie to you..." Seeing the pain etched across Raegan’s face, Henley couldn't remain silent any longer.

He exclaimed, "Stop! What kind of man are you?" "Alright, alright, alright," Mitchel repeated with a sinister smile, raising his eyebrows.

He then ordered his black-clad bodyguards, “Beat him! Beat him to death!" The bodyguards, obedient to Mitchel's command, began to mercilessly rain blows and kicks upon Henley.

The sounds of fists connecting with flesh were a haunting symphony, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who heard.

However, Henley remained silent, knowing that any groans of pain would only deepen Raegan’s guilt.
