Seeing that Luciana gave in, Katie set down her cup and said calmly, “Withdraw your accusation a

gainst me and acknowledge that my child is the rightful heir to the Dixon family.”
Luciana’s anger made her hands shake. Katie had betrayed her trust by having an affair with another man, claiming her bodyguard’s child belonged to the Dixon family. It was the first time that she had seen such a shameless woman!
Yet, for Janey’s safety, Luciana had to agree. “I’ll do everything you ask,” she said without hesitation.
“And the sample I left before, and Mitchel’s, I want them all destroyed. Leave no trace.”
“I promise,” Luciana replied firmly.
“Words alone aren’t enough,” Katie insisted. She demanded Luciana prepare both a written statement and a video recording.
Moreover, after Luciana recorded the video acknowledging her child’s origin, Katie promptly shared the news on the Dixon Group’s official website.
Once it was public, Luciana felt trapped, knowing she couldn’t take her words back. The official website was a serious platform where any false news could heavily impact the Dixon Group’s stock value.
Luciana pleaded, “I’ve done what you asked. Can I see my granddaughter now?”

Katie replied calmly, “Hold on. Now’s not the time.”
Luciana’s frustration boiled over. “What are you saying, Katie? I’ve followed your instructions, yet you still won’t let me see my granddaughter. If you’re trying to trick me, I swear I’ll go to extremes to make your life miserable!”
“Calm down…” Katie, showing signs of impatience, cut in. “I haven’t finished yet.”
Katie handed Luciana a black phone. “Do as the phone instructs, and you’ll see her. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this, or you might lose the chance to see your beloved granddaughter forever…”
Even as Katie smiled, there was a chilling quality to her grin.
Luciana, aware of Katie’s ruthless nature, chose her steps carefully.
Once outside Katie’s ward, Luciana encountered Raegan, who was anxiously waiting.
Raegan immediately grabbed Luciana’s hand, her voice filled with urgency. “Mrs. Dixon, what did Katie tell you? Do you know where Janey is?”
Luciana remained silent, Katie’s threats vivid in her mind.
As the seconds ticked by, Raegan grew increasingly worried. Janey had been missing for nearly two days. But there were still no leads on her whereabouts.
Even though the police had started investigating because Erick insisted, they hadn’t found any clues yet.
Annis was suspected of taking Janey away, making the police treat it an acquaintance committing a crime. They focused on digging into Annis’ social circle, and even Annis’ daughter, Elin, was brought in for questioning.
Raegan couldn’t accept the idea that Annis would kidnap Janey. To Annis, Janey was like her own granddaughter. But the police weren’t convinced and were at a dead end for now.
Raegan was overwhelmed with despair. Luciana had to support Raegan to keep her from falling.
Through her tears, Raegan asked Luciana, “Mrs. Dixon, do you have any news about Janey? Please, tell me anything…”
