Katieâs jaw clenched, her anger igniting.
âHow could you stoop to such sneaky tactics?â she demanded.
With the media eagerly chasing this story, Katie knew her reputation was sure to suffer.
âSneaky?â Raegan asked, her gaze intense.
âDo you think I will let you off the hook without making you face the music?â
Startled, Katie stared at Raegan in a daze, whose tone and words reminded her of Mitchel.
She sensed a wave of deep and instinctual fear swept over her.
âI know youâre after my Life,â Raegan said with an icy laugh, her eyes shining with spite.
âRemember, this is just a preview of whatâs to come.
Your wrongdoings will come to light sooner or later.
Katie, Iâm ready to fight this out until the very end!â
Shocked by the resolve in Raeganâs expression, Katie finally realized Raegan was a formidable adversary.
As reporters neared, Katie quickly changed her posture.
She covered her face with shaking hands, crying uncontrollably.
âI have no grudge against you, Miss Foster.
Why are you making these unfounded claims against me?â she said tearfully, her voice full of pain.
Resentment seethed in Katie as she resolved to bring Raegan down, even if it meant facing condemnation herself.
Katie stated firmly, âIâm confident the police will clear my name.
Iâm not the guilty one here.
Iâm a victim in this mess, too.
Do you really think these accusations will tarnish the Glyn familyâs good name?â
Raegan was exhausted by Katieâs theatrics.
Facing her directly, Raegan snapped, âEnough of your pretend innocence, Katie! You killed the father of my child, and now you owe me!â
Wasnât Katie well-versed in employing ploys of twisting the truth and diverting the publicâs attention? Raegan knew how to give Katie a taste of her own medicine.
As expected, the media lapped up the story.
âMiss Foster, are you saying Miss Glyn caused your childâs fatherâs death?â the reporters pressed.
âMiss Foster, could you explain?â
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Raegan stayed quiet.
She waved them off dismissively and turned away, leaving a furious Katie behind.
Down the hall, Raegan had only taken a few steps when a voice stopped her.
âRaegan.
â Henley walked up slowly, his face showing a trace of pity.
âMy condolences.
â
To Henley, Raegan seemed to be fighting a losing battle.
With Mitchel out of the picture, no one could stop his plans.
He was ready to overpower any opposition that tried to stand in his way.
Raegan ignored Henley, her expression unreadable.
âMove,â she said sharply.
Henley didnât move, forcing Raegan to try to walk past him.
However, he quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her.
âThe Dixon Group will be mine,â Henley announced, smiling cunningly.
Raegan jerked her arm away, looking him straight in the eye.
âIn your dream,â she said forcefully.
âAre you still deluding yourself?â Henleyâs face contorted with anger at her distant attitude.
His grip tightened on her arm.
âStill upset that Iâm illegitimate? Now that Mitchel is gone, that doesnât matter.
