Katies face grew paler with each word Mitchel spoke. He was right, but Katie had always been there, hidden in the shadows, watching his every move. From her earliest memories, she had observed him closely.
How could he dismiss that as nothing?
No matter what you say, I never did those things, Katie responded firmly, her voice filled with fear that Mitchel might have tangible evidence against her.
After that trusted servant by Laurens side ended up in prison, you trained new servants to infiltrate and influence her. You pushed them to encourage Lauren to provoke Tessa into making trouble for Raegan. And after Tessa was out of the picture, you backed Lauren to set Raegan up. Once they were no longer useful to you, what did you do? Do you want me to spell it out for you?
Mitchels icy sarcasm was a thunderous sound in Katies ears. She froze. How could he know all this? It was as if he had been spying on her all along.

Katie had been cautious and most of the dirty work were handled by Abel. After the suspicion of Katies involvement rose, Mitchel began to dig deeper. He meticulously detailed every part of the incident involving Raegan on a blackboard, untangling the complex web of relationships.
The picture he painted showed Katie, a woman with the facade of being gentle and kind, was obsessive, ruthless, and scheming, always shrouded in darkness while being the mastermind. He realized as long as Katie lived, she would never cease her manipulations. She would continue to pose a threat to Raegans well-being.
Since Katie had scapegoated Abel and ensured no direct involvement linked to her, Mitchel understood she might easily avoid punishment.
That was why he had arranged the wedding Katie longed for.
Yet, nonetheless, Mitchel still gave Katie a chance to confess and accept punishment in Ardlens. If she was willing, he wouldnt proceed with his plan. But clearly, she would rather die than admit her wrongdoings.
Turmoil raged in Katies heart in those brief moments. Youre slandering me! she cried out.
She had worn her mask for too long to ever remove it willingly. So, she would never confess.

But Mitchel pressed on relentlessly, his voice cold, You colluded with Alexis and Henley to kidnap Janey and my mother. You even arranged for a car to try to kill them. And Mr. Gomez? You had killed him. Even the tragedy with my first child with Raegan was your doing.
He backed Katie against the door, his eyes filled with lethal fury.
Katie, your sins are unforgivable.
Ah! Katie shrieked in horror. Youre insane!
She frantically turned the doorknob, but it wouldnt budge. The door was locked. Turning back, she saw the deadly intent in Mitchels eyes.
In a panic, she cried out, Let me go, quickly! Ill tell you everything. If you kill me, you wont escape either. Why bother, Mitchel? You dont need to do this
Mitchel took a step back, his expression unreadable. Do you think I want to kill you?
He snorted, his voice dripping with contempt. Your blood is too filthy for me to even touch.
Tears streamed down Katies face as she pleaded, Then let me out!
She lost all sense of dignity, dropping to her knees and reaching for his pant leg. Mitchel, please, let me go
When her hand brushed against his clothing, a wave of disgust washed over Mitchel, and his face turned icy. He quickly kicked her hand away, his movements sharp and merciless.
Ah! Katie screamed in pain, curling up on the floor, cradling her injured hand.
