Katie reacted promptly.
âLuciana, how are you holding up?â
Luciana abruptly rose from the wheelchair, startling Katie with a slap.
âYou wicked woman! Youâve killed my son!â
Katieâs complexion mirrored a painterâs palette, flushed with astonishment.
She shielded her face, aggrieved.
âLuciana, what are you implying? How could I everâ¦â
Luciana asserted firmly, âDesire a paternity test? I possess Mitchellâs genetic samples.
â
Upon her liberation, Lucianaâs initial instinct was to approach the authorities.
However, Matteo had consulted with experts who asserted that due to Lucianaâs prolonged medication, her statements couldnât be deemed as reliable testimony.
Lucianaâs teeth quivered.
She never anticipated that the most venomous wolf lurked around Mitchel was taken care of by her.
She had indirectly inflicted harm upon her son!
Naturally, Katie wouldnât consent to the paternity examination.
She bowed her head, tears staining her eyes, vehemently denying Lucianaâs accusations.
Witnessing the commotion, Alexis abruptly leaped forward and exclaimed, aiming to strike Luciana, âYou irrational woman! What trouble are you causing now!â
Alexis intended to sow confusion among the onlookers, insinuating that Luciana was deranged and spouting nonsense.
Matteo intervened, halting Alexisâ swinging arm and entrusting Luciana to a bodyguard, urging her to depart for her safety.
Raegan began to depart as well, but Katie pursued her, indignantly stating, âDoes the Foster family truly believe they can oppose the Glyn and Dixon families?â
Raegan gazed icily at Katie.
âMiss Glyn, perhaps you lack the authority to speak for the Dixon family!â
Katie, her fists clenched in frustration, then relaxed and remarked with a faint chuckle, âRegardless of your unfounded claims, the child I carry belongs to Mitchel.
â
Katie was convinced that Mitchel was gone.
With Raegan and the semi-delusional Luciana, what significant effect could they hope to achieve?
Raeganâs demeanor remained composed as she spoke.
âMiss Glyn, do you believe that simply because your bodyguard is dead, thereâs no remaining evidence of the biological father of your child?â
Katieâs brow furrowed in confusion.
âWhat are you implying?â
âKatie, if you wish to keep secrets, refrain from certain actions!â
Growing weary of the verbal exchanges, Raegan asserted, âI will uncover proof of the schemes you encouraged Lauren to enact against me and ensure you face consequences!â
âConsequences?â Katie scoffed.
She casually adjusted the strands of hair near her ear.
âRelying solely on Lucianaâs unfounded accusations?â
Raeganâs smile was subtle.
âYou may not be aware, but the esteemed Mr.
Gomez you were associated with has already been apprehended.
Perhaps you should clarify your connection with him to the authorities.
â
Lucianaâs pupils widened in astonishment.
âHow did you locate him?â
She had ensured Mr.
Gomez was dispatched to a distant land.
Raeganâs lips twisted icily.
âRegarding his discovery, inquire with the authorities.
â
As if on cue, law enforcement entered the venue.
