What Is More Important Than Your Wife Raegan looked downstairs, following Tessa's gaze.
Then she saw Mitchel's tall figure entering the hall.
Lauren was beside him, holding his arm.
Mitchel looked noble and outstanding in his custom- made black suit.
Lauren, on the other hand, looked gentle, elegant, and gorgeous in her long evening dress.
As they stood side by side, they looked so good together.
One could say they were a perfect match.
Raegan's mind went blank for a moment.
This was Mitchel’'s great-grandfather's birthday party.
How could he come here with Lauren? And he even dared to question her last night whether she had forgotten that she was a
married woman? What about him? Was he acting like a married man now? What did he mean by openly bringing his first love to
the family banquet? Was he trying to announce their relationship? Raegan tried to force a smile, but she found that she didn't
even have the strength to pull the corners of her mouth.
She thought Mitchel was really hypocritical.
Standing next to Raegan, Tessa also noticed the change in Raegan's expression.
A trace of contempt flashed through her eyes.
Tessa sighed regretfully.
"What a pity! It seems you were not informed that Mitchel is bringing Lauren to the party tonight.” Raegan bit her lower lip hard
and told herself not to care.
After all, it was only a matter of time before Mitchel and Lauren announced their relationship.
But, no matter how much she convinced herself, she felt a crevice had been torn open deep within her heart, and a cold wind
seeped in.
She blamed herself for being stupid.
Why did she still care so much about Mitchel despite the pain he always caused her? Tessa had a feeling of schadenfreude
when she saw the sadness on Raegan’s face.
"So what if Mitchel married you? Still, you won't be acknowledged publicly.
In case you forgot, let me remind you that he only married you to appease his grandpa.
So, don't think highly of yourself.” Tessa’s words were sharp and she even continued to mock, “Look at how good Mitchel and
Lauren look together.
They are a perfect match.
And you? Do you know what you look like? You look like a clown who overestimates herself.” After Tessa said this, a cold voice
suddenly chimed in.
"Who do you think is overestimating herself?" At this moment, Tessa was still immersed in her triumph.
So, she replied without thinking, “Of course, I'm talking about this bitch...” Her voice suddenly stopped.
Then, a crisp slap sound resounded through the hall.
"Ah!" Tessa screamed.
The slap was so heavy that her head tilted, and she felt dizzy.
She shouted angrily, "Bitch! Who the hell dared to slap me?" Another slap landed on her face.
This time, the sound was even louder.
Both sides of Tessa's face were red and swollen.
But she was continuously slapped until she sat on the floor, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Ah!" Tessa screamed at the top of her lungs.
She covered her face with her hands.
"Shut the hell up! If I hear your voice again, I'll have someone drag you out of here," Luciana scolded coldly.
When Tessa saw that it was Luciana who slapped her, her anger instantly subsided.
She got up from the floor and stammered, "Auntie, I..." "Don't call me auntie!" Luciana sneered.
"Tessa, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.
I've actually been looking forward to meeting you today.
But I never thought you would dare to bully my daughter-in -law.” Tessa knew very well that Luciana was a ruthless person.
When she saw the anger on Luciana's face, she trembled.
Her legs became weak, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"No...
You...
I didn't..." But before she could finish her words, Luciana sneered, "Why do you think so highly of yourself? Have you forgotten
that your mother is a nanny's daughter?" "You..." Tessa gritted her teeth.
Her eyes turned red in anger and humiliation.
How could this old bitch humiliate her like this? Raegan was no longer surprised to hear such a revelation.
On their way here, Luciana had already told her about the major events of the Lloyd family.
Luciana's father was a known playboy.
Instead of taking care of the family business well, he hooked up with different women.
And when Luciana’s mother got sick, he hooked up with the family's nanny.
After her mother died, the nanny took her mother's place.
That nanny was Tessa'’s grandmother.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
In short, Tessa’s mother was an illegitimate daughter of the Lloyd family.
Luciana's father cared about his reputation very much.
Since this part of his life was disgraceful, he never talked about it in public.
Luciana harbored a grudge against that nanny who became her stepmother.
Until now, those days when the nanny had caused many troubles for her and treated her harshly, secretly and overtly, were still
vivid in her mind.
If she was not capable, she might have been bullied to death long ago.
Tonight was Luciana’s grandfather's birthday party, and she didn't want to let Tessa spoil the atmosphere.
So Luciana drove Tessa away.
When Tessa turned around to leave, her eyes were full of viciousness.
She thought if it weren't for Raegan, she wouldn't have suffered such insult and humiliation from Luciana.
Didn't that old bitch call her grandmother a nanny? She would find her grandmother now to settle the score.
At this moment, Luciana was still fuming.
She couldn't accept that a nobody like Tessa bullied Raegan.
At the thought of this, Luciana snapped, “Tonight, I will announce that you are my daughter-in-law.
Let's see who still dares to bully you in the future!” Luciana then held Raegan's hand and was about to go downstairs.
But Raegan hurriedly stopped her.
"Please, don't be impulsive.
I..." Raegan didn’t finish her words because she was stunned when she saw Mitchel walking toward them.
She stared at him for a few seconds and noticed a fine crack on his forehead.
It seemed the wound had been treated already.
Luciana also saw Mitchel.
As soon as he approached them, Luciana scolded angrily, "Mitchel, where have you been? You brat! Didn't I ask you to come
early to take care of Raegan?” "I was delayed because I had something important to deal with." "What is more important than
your wife?" Luciana continued scolding Mitchel.
Then she noticed the wound on his forehead.
She pointed at it and asked, "How did you get that?" "It was scratched by a cat." A trace of panic appeared on Raegan's face.
She subconsciously looked at Mitchel.
Mitchel was also looking at her, so their eyes met.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at her meaningfully.
Luciana was so worried about Mitchel's wound that she didn’t notice the eye contact between Mitchel and Raegan.
She asked concernedly, "A kitten? Has it been vaccinated? What if it has rabies?” "She has just been raised," Mitchel explained
in a low voice.
As he spoke, his charming eyes were fixed on Raegan.
"It needs training.” Mitchel stressed the word “training” by elongating the ending.
It seemed intentional.
Raegan could no longer stand Mitchel's gaze, so she lowered her head.
She was still panicky and didn’t know where to fix her eyes.
Actually, Mitchel was staring at Raegan because this was the first time that Mitchel had seen Raegan in a formal dress.
The color suited her well and made her look ethereal and elegant.
Her aura was as bright as the stars in the sky.
As he looked her up and down, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Yes, the dress fit her perfectly.
But what the hell was this design? There was a smail opening at the waist, which made her slender waist look so delicate and
He stepped forward without thinking, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her shoulders.
Mitchel whispered, "Who picked this dress for you?” "Why? Does it look bad?" Raegan asked back.
But she did not expect him to answer.
Mitchel was silent for a moment.
Then he said, "You look stunning.” He had the urge to add that she was so gorgeous that he wanted to hide her inside and enjoy
her beauty alone.
Raegan was stunned to hear such an unexpected compliment from Mitchel.
She felt like her heart stopped beating for a moment.
She only asked back just now because she was a little angry.
Who would have thought he would take it seriously and answer? When Raegan came back to her senses, she couldn't help
scolding herself inwardly.
She Knew that Mitchel was only acting in front of Luciana, but she let his words affect her.
She couldn't suppress the fluttering of her heart.
Luciana watched the interaction between Mitchel and Raegan.
She was very happy to see them like this.
Standing aside, she chimed in, "Do you know that your wife has been bullied? She...” Luciana abruptly stopped talking.
Her brows furrowed tightly.
It turned out she saw Lauren suddenly appear behind Mitchel..
Lauren was like a fragile willow branch swaying with the wind.
Lauren ignored Luciana's cold expression.
She approached Luciana and greeted her warmly, "Luciana..." However, Luciana just asked coldly, "What are you doing here?”
"I..." Lauren's face turned pale.
She didn't expect Luciana to treat her like this.
She pursed her lips and looked at Mitchel aggrievedly.
But when Luciana saw this, she got even angrier.
“Hey, I'm asking you.
Why are you looking at him? Do you expect him to speak for you?” Then she turned to Mitchel and asked sternly, "Did you bring
her here?” Before Mitchel could answer, Lauren spoke first.
"Luciana, please don't misunderstand Mitchel.
He has nothing to do with it.
It was Tessa who invited me.” Luciana's expression softened a bit.
But she still wanted to teach Mitchel a lesson.
It was Just that the time was inappropriate.
So she could only wait until they got home later.
At this moment, Raegan's palms were as cold as ice.
They were sweating profusely.
She knew that Lauren was trying to help Mitchel out of this situation.
She felt ridiculous.
Just because of a simple compliment from Mitchel, she already found herself blushing, and her heart raced.
"All right.
Since Mitchel was not the one who brought you here, please leave.
Tessa isn't here anymore.
Mitchel has to accompany his wife, and he has no time to entertain you.” Luciana's voice was cold, and she looked at Lauren
with piercing eyes.
She knew that Lauren was acting with feigned innocence, and she really couldn't stand it.
At this moment, Lauren looked at Mitchel pitifully and called out in a low voice, "Mitchel..." She clutched the sleeve of Mitchel's
shirt and lowered her head.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Lauren sobbed, and her shoulders shook.
It was as if she was suffering immense grievances.
But deep inside her, she despised Luciana.
She wanted to tell Luciana to just continue scolding her.
Because she believed that the more Luciana scolded her, the more Mitchel would cherish her.
Raegan had been observing Mitchel's and Lauren's every move.
The subtle interactions between them made her heart feel bitter.
It was as if her chest was being pricked by thousands of needles.
Was she a bad person in her previous life? Why was God punishing her like this? Why did God allow her to watch how the man
she
