Chapter 1681: Chapter 1686

In the closing seconds, the vehicle descended into the depths of the ocean.

Subsequently, a tremendous explosion ensued.

Instantly, flames alone ascended into the sky.

Matteo observed Raegan, struck by her profound sorrow.

Since the incident, Raegan persistently maintained that Mitchel remained alive.

To Matteo, Raegan was disguising profound despair with hope.

When the footage ended, Alexis dropped the pretense of grief and demanded sternly, “After witnessing this, do you still dare to claim Mitchel is not dead?”

Raegan appeared on the verge of tears.

But she swiftly regained composure by closing her eyes briefly.

When she reopened them, all signs of tears had vanished.

“There’s no evidence of his death,” Raegan asserted, her tone resolute.

“Only the explosion, nothing more.

”

Alexis seethed with anger.

Wasn’t the massive explosion and the person in the car enough proof of death?

Others present also struggled to comprehend.

How could anyone survive such a scenario?

Raegan then presented an official missing person notice from the police, declaring firmly, “He is missing, not confirmed dead.

”

Alexis was on the brink of exploding in fury.

So, Raegan had evidently been biding her time, intending to disrupt the proceedings.

The police had determined that after fleeing, Lauren orchestrated a retaliatory attack that led to Mitchel’s accidental demise.

Alexis, acting as Mitchel’s father, raised no objections and promptly signed the documents to conclude the case immediately.

Following the smooth conclusion of the case, Alexis convened a press conference.

Unexpectedly, Raegan emerged with a missing person’s report.

Alexis, consumed by fury, exclaimed, “Stop this nonsense! My family has come to terms with the situation.

What authority does a forsaken ex-spouse like you possess to intervene?”

This constituted a direct personal assault.

By branding Raegan as a forsaken ex-spouse, Alexis sought to undermine her credibility, insinuating that her assertions were driven by hidden agendas.

His insinuation was unmistakable.

Raegan’s sole interest lay in financial gain.

Unruffled, Raegan produced the will and icily inquired, “Is this enough?”

A lawyer then stepped forward to announce the reading of Mitchel’s will, confirming Raegan’s authority to safeguard Mitchel’s interests.

Alexis’ fury contorted his face.

He had orchestrated a clandestine agreement with Katie, stipulating the division of Mitchel’s inheritance in half owing to Katie’s substantial contributions, along with covertly transferring the shares to her.

Unbeknownst to him, Mitchel had already made a will.

In a further blow, Raegan asserted, “Mitchel is the biological father of my child.

Without conclusive proof of his demise, I am entitled to continue my search.

”

The audience erupted in astonishment upon discovering that, in addition to Katie’s unborn child, Mitchel had another child.

Raegan acknowledged that facing Alexis, along with Henley and Katie, would pose a formidable challenge.

However, she recognized the formidable influence of public opinion.

With adept management, she could compel Alexis to proceed cautiously and avoid overt actions, thereby buying time for her investigation.

Meeting Alexis’ gaze with composure, Raegan remarked, “Mr.

Alexis Dixon, while your grief may be absent, your decision to publicly broadcast Mitchel’s last footage before his disappearance as evidence of his demise begs the question of your motives.
