Only then did Mitchel understand why Katie had so firmly believed the child was his. The truth became clear. Katie had been absolutely convinced that the man with her that night was him.
Mitchel Laughed coldly. “You’ll have to tell her that yourself.”
With a snap of his fingers, the door opened, and Katie was brought into the room.
Katie was completely in the dark about Mitchel’s motives for summoning her over. Marcelo had roughly pulled her into the car.
Throughout the drive, Katie was overwhelmed with anxiety. Yet, upon arriving, she was somewhat relieved at the sight of Abel kneeling in front of Mitchel.
Katie surmised Mitchel tried to force the truth out of Abel, but she was confident Abel would never divulge her secrets. Abel’s loyalty as a faithful subordinate was unquestionable.
Katie took a deep breath and asked, “Mitchel, why have you tied up Abel? What did he do wrong?”
“Just ask him,” Mitchel answered, his voice icy, as if covered with frost.
“Abel, what’s going on?” Katie asked.
Abel, head bowed, didn’t answer, marking the first time he had failed to responded to Katie.
Feeling something amiss with a sinking feeling, Katie paused briefly before asking again, “Abel?”
Abel turned slightly and then kowtowed to Katie with a loud thud as his forehead connected with the ground. Immediately, blood poured out, covering his face. The blood streamed down, soaking his eyebrows and eyes, giving Abel a horrifying appearance.
In a quiet voice, Abel murmured, “Miss, I… I’m sorry.”
Abel’s words chilled Katie to the core. Abel had always been loyal to her, rarely letting her down. Her lips trembled as she tried to keep her composure and said, “Abel, think carefully before you speak.”
Abel knew Katie was warning him. Yet, he felt cornered. If he stayed silent, his child in Katie’s belly would be at risk of being terminated. And Katie could be in danger.
“I… Your child…” Abel clenched his teeth and blurted out, “Your child is mine!”

Katie’s complexion turned ghostly pale. “What… What are you talking about?”
She couldn’t believe her ears and forced a smile. “Abel, you’re my assistant, nothing more. What kind of pressure are you under to say such things?”
Katie suspected Mitchel had forced Abel into lying like this.
Mitchel gave a sly smile and signaled to Matteo. “Show it to Miss Glyn.”
Matteo presented three paternity tests, all confirming the match.
Katie examined them, struggling to stay calm. After a tense few seconds, she grabbed the paternity tests and ripped them up into tiny pieces like confetti. “Mitchel, you just tried to get rid of me! I refuse to fall for your twisted lies. I refuse! You’re just trying to deny the child I’m carrying!”
Katie laughed hysterically. “I’ll make sure the whole country knows what a hypocrite you are, Mitchel. You slept with me, got me pregnant, and now you’re pretending it never happened!”
Despite Katie’s furious outburst, Mitchel stayed quiet, his expression turning frostier.
