Tears brimmed in Katie’s eyes as she pleaded, “Mitchel, are you truly disregarding our shared history? Do the five years we spent together mean nothing to you?”
Katie’s words sounded like an accusation of Mitchel being unfaithful.
Mitchel frowned, fearing Raegan might get the wrong idea and overthink. He narrowed his eyes, his tone frigid as ice. “What transpired between us during those five years?”
Tears and grievances streamed down Katie’s face as she implored, “Mitchel, I’m not Leveraging our past to hold you accountable to me, but you must acknowledge your responsibility for our child. Please, don’t leave me to face this alone…”
Katie’s words danced on the edge of clarity, simultaneously answering his question and yet revealing nothing at all.
Mitchel, a conventional man, found himself unable to argue with Katie, despite feeling repulsed by the situation.
Growing impatient, Mitchel’s frown deepened. “Katie, are you suggesting that the benefits you received from Alexis weren’t sufficient, or that you haven’t gained enough from the Dixon Group?”
Katie’s complexion paled, as though her very skin had been peeled away. “Mitchel, are you accusing me of these charges because of this woman?”
Katie bit her lip, tears mingling with her grievance. “Are you going to get rid of our child for her sake?”
Raegan couldn’t help but be amazed at the performance Katie was delivering. If not for the solid foundation of trust between Mitchel and her, Katie’s provocation would likely have sparked conflict between them.
“Miss Glyn, please hold back your tears,” Raegan interjected suddenly.
“While you often mention the past five years of companionship, can you provide any concrete evidence or memorable moments? You’ve spent half a decade with Mitchel, yet you can’t recall a single significant event?”
Katie froze, her cheeks betraying a flush of embarrassment. Through gritted teeth, she retorted, “No matter what you say, you cannot deny that Mitchel loved me!”
Katie’s only aim was to disgust Raegan.
Katie assumed, without Raegan, Mitchel would have inevitably fallen for her. It was all Raegan’s doing.
Unfazed, Raegan asked Katie directly, “So, Miss Glyn, was your pregnancy unplanned? Where did it occur? When?”

Katie gazed at Raegan as if confronted by a monstrous enigma, unable to fathom why such questions were being posed. Shouldn’t Raegan be avoiding such probing questions?
Raegan actually didn’t care at all. She knew very well that Katie aimed to incite and disgust her.
In this battle, Raegan was determined not to be outdone. She gently clasped Mitchel’s arm, a smile playing on her lips. “If you can’t answer these questions, how can I trust Mitchel loved you?”
Katie lapsed into silence.
Raegan persisted, her tone firm, “You see, you’re still unable to provide any answers. You can’t even clarify how this child came to be, or how far along it is now. Simple questions, yet you remain silent.”
Katie seethed with frustration. Yet, no matter how she wracked her brain, all that escaped her lips was, “It’s Mitchel’s child.”
Observing Luciana’s distress ease, Mitchel felt the urge to depart, truly loathing Katie’s presence. He clasped Raegan’s hand, readying to depart.
In a desperate attempt to halt Mitchel’s departure, Luciana sat up urgently, her voice echoing through the room. “Mitchel, wait! How can you treat Katie like this? Even though she didn’t respond to the questions, I know she’s three and a half months pregnant. I trust Katie. She’s carrying your child!”
