Chapter 689

? ? ? ? ?

Katie's intense gaze unsettled those around her, her words sending chills through the room.

Raegan approached, her voice cold. «Katie, three and a half months pregnant, huh? Suppose the child you are carrying is Mitchel's. When you got pregnant, I was still Mitchel's wife and you knew it. "So why did you still choose to be the homewrecker?"

Katie felt a brief pang of guilt. He had avoided this confrontation precisely because of this damned reality. The child had been conceived while Raegan was still Mitchel's wife. But I had no alternatives.

Raegan glared at Katie and said, “And my daughter is not illegitimate. "He was not born out of wedlock."

Although the identity of Janey's father remained unrevealed, Raegan stood firm against any suggestion that Janey was illegitimate.

Before Katie could respond, Mitchel signaled to Marcelo with an icy order: “Take her.”

Marcelo turned to Katie, urging her politely, “Miss Glyn, if you would be so kind.”

Katie took a step back, flatly refusing: “No!” If he returned home now, he would face ridicule. The thought of going back was unbearable!

“Luciana…” Katie clung to Luciana, her body trembling.

Luciana offered her comfort, stroking her back: “Don't worry, dear. I am here. No one will touch you while I am around.

"Mother!" Mitchel intervened sharply. He was taken aback by Luciana's protective stance towards Katie. She had already secretly changed her medication, so why was Luciana still defending Katie?

“Everyone go!” Luciana suddenly screamed. «Go away! Whoever bullies Katie, get out of my sight!

Mitchel stared at Luciana, sighing. Then he took Raegan's hand and left without saying a word.

As soon as Katie noticed his absence, she stopped shaking and calmed down immediately. He hugged Luciana. "Thank you," he said.

Luciana's expression was somewhat dull. "Because? “We are like a family,” he responded in a monotone.

"Of course," Katie said, laughing softly. «But with everything that has happened, it is almost time for your medication. I'll bring it to you."

When Katie left, Luciana stared at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened this morning. The dizziness had been caused by the water Katie gave him. His fall was due to the railing suddenly coming loose. But why had he let go?

Luciana knew very well that strange things only happened when Katie was around, which suggested that Katie was the cause of all these "accidents."

However, Luciana understood that Katie's departure from this house would mean more disaster for Mitchel and Raegan. That was why Luciana had been stubborn about keeping Katie close. Besides, he didn't want to raise Katie's suspicions.

When Katie's silhouette appeared through the door, Luciana's face lit up with a smile. "Don't force yourself," he told her softly.

“Okay,” Katie responded, handing Luciana a glass of water and a pill. He saw how Luciana took them.

"Try to get some sleep," Katie suggested. However, Luciana had succumbed to sleep before Katie could say anything else.

In the office of the CEO of the Dixon Group, Mitchel sat in his chair, deep in thought.

The room remained silent until he spoke with quiet authority. «Look for all my external commitments from January to May. Investigate Katie's movements during the same period. Look for any strange overlaps.
