Mitchel lost his patience, his hand resting casually in his pocket as he warned her, “Katie, if you’re trying something and it ends up hurting Raegan, that’s where I draw the line. I already told you to own up to your actions last time. It seems you didn’t take it seriously. I hope the Glyn family is ready to face the consequences of your mistake!”
Katie’s complexion turned ashen. “Mitchel, are you threatening me? What are you planning to do to the Glyn family?”
“You’ll see soon enough.” Mitchel’s tone was calm but menacing.
Katie knew Mitchel well enough to know he meant business. Tears of frustration and defeat rolled down her cheeks, a complete turnaround from her confident front earlier with Abel. “Mitchel, after all the time we’ve worked together, do you really have the heart to make the Glyn family suffer? Have you ever thought that this child might actually be yours? You’re going to regret treating me like this!”
“No regrets,” Mitchel replied with certainty. “Be thankful this child isn’t mine.”
Katie’s eyes went wide. “What do you mean?”
Mitchel Looked at her sharply. “If it were, it wouldn’t have survived.”
Katie was shocked. “Mitchel, this is your own child. How can you think of harming it? Have you ever thought about your mother, who, at her age, yearns for a grandchild…”
Mitchel cut her off impatiently. “Katie, I’m not discussing anything with you. Consider this a final warning. Next time, it won’t be just about pressuring the Glyn family.”
Mitchel’s words implied he wouldn’t hesitate to deal with Katie should there be another occasion.
Katie never imagined that even carrying his child wouldn’t sway Mitchel in the slightest. How could he be so cold-hearted!
Finally breaking down, Katie demanded, “Mitchel, for that woman, you’d do this to me? I love you so much, even willing to bear your child. Could it be.”
She looked up, confused. “Could our child, carrying your blood, really mean less to you than that woman and her child with another man?”
Oblivious to Mitchel being Janey’s biological father, Katie found it hard to accept Mitchel’s affection for Raegan and Janey.
The reason behind Mitchel’s firm refusal for accepting the child in her belly baffled Katie. She hysterically shouted, “You can accept her child with someone else, but why not ours! How could…”
The next second, a string of keys connected with Katie’s face.

Mitchel, who disliked violence against women, had no patience for anyone who insulted his daughter.
Katie stood dumbfounded, too shocked to cry. Her mouth burned, Likely split open. Holding her face, she said in disbelief, “Mitchel, you hit me…”
Mitchel’s expression turned grim. “You have no right to talk about them!”
Katie, with tears cascading down her cheeks, had never experienced such humiliation before. The sting was sharper coming from the man she held dear.
“From this moment, neither you nor your Glyn family will see any respect from me,” Mitchel declared, his decision final as he turned to leave.
In a turmoil of emotions, Katie felt an urgent need to say something.
“Mitchel, I can be of assistance to you!” Desperation was laced with her voice as she reached for his arm, hoping to sway him.
“Mitchel, I’m aware of the struggles within the Dixon Group. Henley might dominate the foreign trade routes, but my Glyn family commands a substantial influence there as well. If you just acknowledge our relationship and recognize our child, the Glyn family will back you unconditionally. With your expertise, challenging Henley for supremacy in the foreign trade sector and achieving an equitable share is within reach.” As Katie spoke, her thoughts began to align, her grip on Mitchel’s arm loosening as her words flowed more smoothly.
