Female Novel
Chapter 458
Glasses knocked off, Henley’s usually calm demeanor vanished, replaced by a fierce gaze. His slender yet powerful arm actedas a barrier between Mitchel and Raegan.
He was unquestionably provoking Mitchel.Silent, Mitchel’s fist flew, landing squarely on Henley and sending him tumbling to the ground.
But one punch wasn’t enough to quell Mitchel’s fury. Veins pulsed visibly on the back of his clenched hand as he lunged to strikeHenley again.
“Stop it, Mitchel!” Raegan cried out, rushing forward to shield Henley.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit her, Raegan clenched her eyes shut.
Yet, the anticipated blow never landed.
When she opened her eyes, Mitchel’s fist hovered mere inches from her face, halted by his own willpower.Mitchel’s demeanor turned icy. How could he have the heart to raise a hand against Raegan?
His gaze remained locked onto Raegan’s face as he yelled with frustration, “Are you taking his side?”“Mitchel, stop using your authority to intimidate people.”

Raegan felt Mitchel had crossed a line.
She'd already told Henley to stay away from her, not wanting any harm to come to him again. Yet, he’d unduly suffered againbecause of her.
How could she just stand idle and see Mitchel continue to harm Henley?
Mitchel’s gaze turned icy as he sneered, “Am | the bully, or is he just weak?”
He didn’t understand why Raegan defended a man who couldn't even take a hit. Was she blind?“Come on, Henley.”
Kneeling down, Raegan helped Henley to his feet. She had no desire to engage with Mitchel.
She was all too familiar with his irrational logic. Reasoning was futile.“Stay!” Mitchel seized her forcefully.“Raegan, don’t you see your own audacity? I’m standing right here, and you’re leaving with another guy?”
Mitchel’s face was indescribable. Watching them laugh and protect each other earlier, he wanted nothing more than to chain herdown and keep her by his side.
Pulling her closer, his voice tinged with loathing.
“What? You can’t exist without a man by your side?”novelbin
