Katie’s jaw clenched, her anger igniting. “How could you stoop to such sneaky tactics?” she demanded.
With the media eagerly chasing this story, Katie knew her reputation was sure to suffer.
“Sneaky?” Raegan asked, her gaze intense. “Do you think I will let you off the hook without making you face the music?”
Startled, Katie stared at Raegan in a daze, whose tone and words reminded her of Mitchel. She sensed a wave of deep and instinctual fear swept over her.
“I know you’re after my Life,” Raegan said with an icy laugh, her eyes shining with spite. “Remember, this is just a preview of what’s to come. Your wrongdoings will come to light sooner or later. Katie, I’m ready to fight this out until the very end!”
Shocked by the resolve in Raegan’s expression, Katie finally realized Raegan was a formidable adversary.
As reporters neared, Katie quickly changed her posture. She covered her face with shaking hands, crying uncontrollably. “I have no grudge against you, Miss Foster. Why are you making these unfounded claims against me?” she said tearfully, her voice full of pain.
Resentment seethed in Katie as she resolved to bring Raegan down, even if it meant facing condemnation herself.
Katie stated firmly, “I’m confident the police will clear my name. I’m not the guilty one here. I’m a victim in this mess, too. Do you really think these accusations will tarnish the Glyn family’s good name?”
Raegan was exhausted by Katie’s theatrics. Facing her directly, Raegan snapped, “Enough of your pretend innocence, Katie! You killed the father of my child, and now you owe me!”
Wasn’t Katie well-versed in employing ploys of twisting the truth and diverting the public’s attention? Raegan knew how to give Katie a taste of her own medicine.
As expected, the media lapped up the story.
“Miss Foster, are you saying Miss Glyn caused your child’s father’s death?” the reporters pressed.
“Miss Foster, could you explain?”
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Raegan stayed quiet. She waved them off dismissively and turned away, leaving a furious Katie behind.

Down the hall, Raegan had only taken a few steps when a voice stopped her.
“Raegan.” Henley walked up slowly, his face showing a trace of pity.
“My condolences.”
To Henley, Raegan seemed to be fighting a losing battle. With Mitchel out of the picture, no one could stop his plans. He was ready to overpower any opposition that tried to stand in his way.
Raegan ignored Henley, her expression unreadable. “Move,” she said sharply.
Henley didn’t move, forcing Raegan to try to walk past him. However, he quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her.
“The Dixon Group will be mine,” Henley announced, smiling cunningly.
Raegan jerked her arm away, looking him straight in the eye. “In your dream,” she said forcefully.
“Are you still deluding yourself?” Henley’s face contorted with anger at her distant attitude. His grip tightened on her arm. “Still upset that I’m illegitimate? Now that Mitchel is gone, that doesn’t matter.
