When Katie heard the busy tone on the other end of the line, she knew Abel was already dead, leaving no trace behind.
At the thought of this, Katie felt a sense of relief. The only person who could prove the truth of the paternity of her child was dead. Finally, no one would bother her now.
For Katie, Abel was nothing but a low life. If he had only been obedient, she wouldn’t have sent him to his death this soon. But he dared to get laid with her when she was under the effect of the drug.
She didn’t even blink on Abel’s death. She assumed, with her money, having another loyal guy shouldn’t be an issue.
Katie threw her phone into the toilet bowl and poured a special solution into it. Then, she watched it slowly turn into sludge.
It shouldn’t take long for her to become Mitchel’s rightful wife.
Katie smiled. She only had to get Raegan out of the picture and keep the syringe in her hands. By then, Mitchel could not refuse her.
After contemplating for a bit, she took out another phone and said, “Alexis, have you taken care of Lauren? I did everything you asked me to do. The next step is all up to you.”
A grave voice responded from the other end of the line. “Everything has been arranged.”
Katie brushed the strands of hair off her forehead. Her eyes turned fierce, but her voice was still sweet when she said, “You know what I want, right? I want nothing but Mitchel.”
Satisfied, Katie hummed a tune and went back to her room to sleep.
Meanwhile, Luciana had been hiding in a dark corner, having overheard Katie’s phone conversation. Once ensuring Katie had returned to her room, Luciana tiptoed back to her room and took out a phone secretly hidden under her bed.

Luciana hastily dialed Mitchel’s number. As soon as he answered, she covered her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “You need to find Raegan quickly.”
“Mom?” Mitchel frowned upon hearing Luciana’s voice.
Luciana coughed lightly to clear her throat. She had gagged herself too vigorously trying to induce vomiting, causing her throat to bleed.
Luciana continued, her voice hoarse, “Lauren is with Alexis, and they are likely planning to harm Raegan and blackmail you.”
Mitchel’s expression turned grave. “Is it Katie’s doing? Is she still with you?”
“Yes, I asked her to come here,” Luciana replied.
Once out of the medication Katie had fetched for her, Luciana, with her much more somber mind and perceptive eyes, quickly discovered Katie’s ruthlessness. And as days passed by, she became more aware of it.
To force Mitchel to return, Katie deliberately loosened the handrail, causing Luciana to fall. Worse, Katie gave Luciana sleeping pills every single day so she could move around the mansion freely.
Luciana knew Katie would definitely cause trouble. After all, Mitchel had been treating her coldly.
So, Luciana thought it was better to keep Katie close instead of having Mitchel constantly guarding against her.
Today, Luciana finally overheard crucial information.
His face solemn, Mitchel instructed, “Mom, lock your door. I’ll ask Marcelo to pick you up now. Don’t go out of your room until he arrives.”
