Seeing that Luciana gave in, Katie set down her cup and said calmly, âWithdraw your accusation a gainst me and acknowledge that my child is the rightful heir to the Dixon family.
â
Lucianaâs anger made her hands shake.
Katie had betrayed her trust by having an affair with another man, claiming her bodyguardâs child belonged to the Dixon family.
It was the first time that she had seen such a shameless woman!
Yet, for Janeyâs safety, Luciana had to agree.
âIâll do everything you ask,â she said without hesitation.
âAnd the sample I left before, and Mitchelâs, I want them all destroyed.
Leave no trace.
â
âI promise,â Luciana replied firmly.
âWords alone arenât enough,â Katie insisted.
She demanded Luciana prepare both a written statement and a video recording.
Moreover, after Luciana recorded the video acknowledging her childâs origin, Katie promptly shared the news on the Dixon Groupâs official website.
Once it was public, Luciana felt trapped, knowing she couldnât take her words back.
The official website was a serious platform where any false news could heavily impact the Dixon Groupâs stock value.
Luciana pleaded, âIâve done what you asked.
Can I see my granddaughter now?â
âs BunnyBookery Katie replied calmly, âHold on.
Nowâs not the time.
â
Lucianaâs frustration boiled over.
âWhat are you saying, Katie? Iâve followed your instructions, yet you still wonât let me see my granddaughter.
If youâre trying to trick me, I swear Iâll go to extremes to make your life miserable!â
âCalm downâ¦â Katie, showing signs of impatience, cut in.
âI havenât finished yet.
â
Katie handed Luciana a black phone.
âDo as the phone instructs, and youâll see her.
But remember, donât tell anyone about this, or you might lose the chance to see your beloved granddaughter foreverâ¦â
Even as Katie smiled, there was a chilling quality to her grin.
Luciana, aware of Katieâs ruthless nature, chose her steps carefully.
Once outside Katieâs ward, Luciana encountered Raegan, who was anxiously waiting.
Raegan immediately grabbed Lucianaâs hand, her voice filled with urgency.
âMrs.
Dixon, what did Katie tell you? Do you know where Janey is?â
Luciana remained silent, Katieâs 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 hadnât 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 Annisâ social circle, and even Annisâ daughter, Elin, was brought in for questioning.
Raegan couldnât accept the idea that Annis would kidnap Janey.
To Annis, Janey was like her own granddaughter.
But the police werenât 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, âMrs.
Dixon, do you have any news about Janey? Please, tell me anythingâ¦â
