In a shaky voice, she managed to say, "Mitchel, the Glyn family has always been firm in our choice of you, never wavering..."

Then, the door burst open. Matteo stepped inside.

Mitchel commanded with an icy tone, “Escort Miss Glyn out. Secure the door and ensure no outsiders get in."

His harsh words felt like a physical blow to Katie. A stinging sensation spread across her cheek.

As Katie was about to utter another word, Matteo signaled her to stop and stated without emotion, "Miss Glyn, this way, please."

Katie gazed at Mitchel, her eyes filled with a mix of obsession and bitterness. Finally, she whispered, "Mitchel, all I've done was out of love for you..."

She muttered to herself, “One day, you will surely regret your indifference toward me!"

She exited Mitchel's ward.

Once outside the hospital, the sorrow on Katie's face swiftly turned to malevolence. Then, she burst out laughing. If she couldn't have Mitchel, no one would!

Back in Mitchel's ward.

Mitchel ordered, "Verify if Raegan was here recently."

Matteo felt Mitchel was deceiving himself. Why would Raegan visit him?

Mitchel continued, "Keep a close watch on Katie's actions, especially her interactions with my mother, and keep me informed.”

Mitchel sometimes wondered if Luciana's mental stability was deteriorating because of Katie's misleading words. His gaze was icy and sharp. He wished it was just a misconception.

At the elevator, Stefan waited for Raegan. Upon seeing Raegan, he showed concern, asking, “Is everything okay?"

Raegan snapped back to reality, shook her head, and replied, "It's all good."

Her mind had been on the Dixon family's illegitimate son. Yet, she felt Mitchel didn't need her worry. His cleverness had led him to remarkable business achievements at a young age. Surely, he wouldn't be outmaneuvered by an illegitimate son that easily. She felt she was overthinking it.

Then, her phone rang.

After answering, Raegan announced, “I'm on my way."

It was the day of her press conference, and she was nearly late because of these distractions.
