As the descendant of the main branch of the Hayes family, Raegan could not be underestimated, although her family was a Little inferior to the Dixon family.

Realization dawned on Katie. No wonder Raegan said that the Glyn family was not the only rich family. It turned out Raegan was mocking her.

At the thought of this, Katie clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails dug into the palms of her hands. Her eyes turned even colder. She looked at her assistant, hinting something.

Her assistant immediately understood. She quickly turned to the woman who accused Raegan of plagiarism and whispered something.

Vicki Hampton, having been watching the scene quietly with Katie, couldn't help asking, “Katie, do you know that woman?"

Katie, regaining her composure, replied with a faint smile, “Yes. She also has some connection to you."

Vicki frowned. "To me? How can that be? I don't know her. What connection can she have to me?"

Raegan, on stage, was dressed simply without wearing any makeup.

Vicki, on the other hand, wore exquisite makeup and was meticulously dressed. But despite this, Raegan's natural beauty still made her look more vibrant and youthful than Vicki. This made Vicki feel inexplicably hostile to Raegan.

When Katie noticed this, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. An idea occurred to her, so she said playfully, “She is acquainted with your beau, Jarrod. Since she and Jarrod know each other, doesn't it mean she has a connection to you?"

Vicki's face immediately turned red when she heard Jarrod's name.

"What beau? You're teasing me again."

Vicki could not deny her feelings for Jarrod because it was written all over her bashful face.

Katie knew of Vicki's fondness for Jarrod, though Jarrod's affections lay elsewhere. With Lauren no longer in play, she considered nurturing a new pawn for her grand schemes. She glanced at Vicki, thinking Vicki was a suitable candidate.

Katie remarked with a smirk, “The Hampton family is close to the Schultz family. With so many cooperated projects, it's a sure thing that you and Jarrod..."

Katie's voice trailed off deliberately. She knew Vicki enjoyed hearing this.

Vicki held Katie's arm, smiled sweetly, and said, "Then your marriage with Mitchel is also a sure thing."

Katie serenely basked in Vicki's jests.

To those oblivious, Katie was still Mitchel's so-called fiancée.

After all, she had put in effort to postpone the clarification press conference. However, her leverage didn't end there. Mitchel wanted to clarify his relationship with her to the public, but there was no way she could let that happen.
