Mitchel When Mitchel didnt respond, Katie said softly, It was Henley who approached me and forced me to give him an invitation. He threatened that if I refused, he would reveal that you werent a

Dixon. I feared it would tarnish your reputation, so I had no choice. I gave him the invitation.
It was an excuse full of loopholes. But under such circumstances, it was the best Katie could come up with. Anyway, it didnt matter whether or not Mitchel believed her. His life was still in her hands, given the toxin within his body. So, with her excuses, she was essentially offering him a way out.
Seeing his stern face, she added quickly, But I really didnt know he had bad intentions. If I had known they would cause trouble, I would never have agreed to give them invitations.
Caught in the act, her dramatics surged uncontrollably. After deliberately putting on an aggrieved look, she pleaded, Mitchel, you must believe me. I am your wife, so I will stand by you for better or worse.

Wife? We are not husband and wife, Mitchel said after being silent for a while.
And what he said was the last thing Katie wanted to hear. His icy tone and expression were devastatingly heartless and indifferent.
Katies expression changed. She retorted, But Everyone in Ardlens knows we are married.
Katie. Mitchels expression was solemn when he uttered her name.
Thats because I want them to know.
Why? Katie asked in confusion. Why would he want everyone to know they were married but insist they were not husband and wife?
After studying Mitchel thoroughly over the years, she felt confident in her understanding of him. But now, she felt like she didnt know him anymore. It seemed he didnt show her the real him.
Instead of answering Katies question, Mitchel looked at her intently with a penetrating gaze and asked, Katie, have you ever regretted what youve done?
The expression on Katies face changed again. She stammered, Mitchel, what What do you mean?
Mitchels face was extremely cold. His thin lips slightly parted when he said, You know exactly what I mean.
I I dont understand what youre trying to imply. Mitchel, I swear Ive never thought of harming you. You know my feelings for you. I love you so much
Thats why you harm the one I love? Mitchel interrupted her sharply.
Indeed, Katie never intended to harm Mitchel. The drug injected into him was meant for Raegan.
Katie just indiscriminately targeted everyone close to Mitchel.
Whether it was Tessa or Lauren, everything had turned out just as she had planned.
During those times that Katie did not do things herself, she subtly instigated others to do the dirty work and let them take the blame.
Her facade of being gentle and reasonable never showed any sign that she was the mastermind.
The list of people she had harmed was endless. Aside from Tessa and Lauren, Mitchels child he had never met were harmed. Also, Katies own assistant Abel and the innocent Luciana. Some of them even died without knowing it was Katie who had caused their deaths.
Katie had masterfully manipulated others behind the scenes. She only did the planning and the talking, and those bad people did worse to help her achieve her goals.
Laurens being sxually abused by that despicable man was also Katies doing, a move aimed to intensify Laurens hatred and anger toward Raegan. Knowing how much Mitchel loved Raegan, she recklessly sought to eliminate Raegan.
