Raegan’s disdainful tone added weight to her words. “One might question whether you hate Mitchel.”
Raegan’s statement ignited rampant speculation. Indeed, Alexis conduct bore little resemblance to that of a grieving father who had recently lost his son.
Under the piercing scrutiny of the crowd, Alexis’ face flushed with embarrassment, yet Raegan’s words cut even deeper.
Accusingly pointing at Raegan, Alexis shouted, “My son perished trying to save you, and now you seek to inherit with your illegitimate child!”
Alexis deliberately distorted the truth, loudly invoking Katie, “My grandchild is in Katie’s womb. Do not anticipate introducing some illegitimate child here to stir up trouble!”
Maintaining her composure, Raegan presented a legally notarized paternity test, declaring, “This serves as irrefutable evidence.”
Upon witnessing this, Alexis’ rage manifested in a deep purple hue on his face.
“Furthermore, given that Mitchel’s demise has not been confirmed, there is no estate to contest.” Raegan’s gaze traversed Alexis, Henley, and Katie before settling on them with a cold smirk. “I am here to protect his assets, ensuring they remain untouched by those with hidden agendas. As for the child in Miss Glyn’s womb, perhaps only she holds the answer.”

Upon hearing this, the reporters began to speculate that there could be additional layers to the story surrounding Katie’s child. The intricacies of a family of such prominence were undeniably profound.
Katie directed a venomous glare at Raegan. Had it not been for Lauren’s incompetence for ending Raegan’s life, Raegan would have never been allowed to speak. Katie didn’t expect Mitchel to save Raegan with the expense of his own life.
Alexis was perspiring heavily. The situation was growing more problematic by the moment. Should the fact that Katie’s child was not Mitchel’s was exposed, his credibility would be utterly shattered.
Exchanging a meaningful glance with Henley, Alexis swiftly concluded the proceedings.
ALL attending media were instructed to withhold reporting on the day’s events until further notice.
Raegan had foreseen such a contingency. She anticipated Alexis ‘attempts to suppress the media, yet Alexis overlooked the enduring nature of gossip in human society. Even without official coverage, the narrative would inevitably disseminate through informal channels.

To avert additional scandal, Alexis must navigate carefully, hindered in his ability to promptly promote Henley. This situation played directly into Raegan’s strategy.
With media influence waning and formalities cast aside, Katie abandoned her facade, gripping Raegan’s arm tightly. “You wretch! Don’t you dare slander me! Continue disseminating falsehoods, and I’ll forcibly silence you!”
Raegan brushed Katie off, casting a disdainful gaze at Katie’s abdomen. Her smile turned icy. “Katie, did you believe erasing the real paternity test results and the biological father could pin your child on Mitchel?”
Katie replied composedly, “I’ve conducted a paternity test, confirming without a doubt that this child is Mitchel’s.”
Katie was unfazed. In her book, Mitchel had died. Alexis stood staunchly by her, lending credence to every word she uttered. A paternity test? She could furnish ten if necessary!
Raegan scoffed. “Miss Glyn, would you dare to do it again?”
Katie responded tearfully, “Mitchel is gone, and yet here you are, evidently seeking to stir up trouble…”
Suddenly, a deep voice interjected. “Mitchel may be gone, but I remain.”
Seated in a wheelchair, Luciana took center stage, addressing a shocked Katie, “Are you surprised?”
Luciana endured captivity in a villa for days under Katie’s instruction until Matteo and his team orchestrated her rescue.
