"Oh? Has he acknowledged it?" Raegan replied with a wry smile.

Raegan's response swept Katie off her feet. Such composure from Raegan was completely unexpected. “And what is that supposed to mean?"

Katie frowned.

Raegan was mad at Mitchel for hiding Katie's pregnancy from her, but she wasn't dumb. Mitchel couldn't possibly like Katie. He would have taken Katie in to live with him if he did. Why did he wait for her return to begin a relationship with Katie? It was Likely Katie maneuvered her way to get this child. And whether Katie's child was really Mitchel's was still up for debate.

“Miss Glyn, you held a press conference where you made it clear that there was no personal relationship with Mitchel aside work. Have you done a paternity test? How sure are you that Mitchel is responsible?"

Raegan calmly said.

Katie's face turned red with anger at the barrage of questions thrown at her. She clenched her fist in fury, trying to contain her anger.

Her intention was to belittle Raegan, but the table seemed to have turned. How infuriating!

Onlookers who had been attracted by their conversation began whispering amongst themselves. It was not just a juicy story about pregnancy out of wedlock. It was a scandal.

Luciana became defensive of Katie. She angrily pointed her index finger at Raegan's face. “Katie is my son's fiancee and had been accepted by the Dixon family. The child in her womb belongs to Dixon family. Wedding arrangements have been made. Tell me, who are you to meddle in our family affairs?"

Raegan had become completely indifferent to Luciana. She had completely erased every ounce of affection she once had for Luciana after Luciana slapped her the last time they met.

“Had your ‘daughter-in-law’ not been in my way, would I be having this conversation?" Raegan retorted with her eyebrows raised. She scoffed. "She started it first. Normally, I don't interfere in people's ‘family affairs'."

Raegan made her stance clear. She wouldn't involve herself in people's lives unless they provoked her first. If anyone chose to annoy her, she certainly wouldn't hesitate to face the person head on.

Luciana, infuriated, tried to slap Raegan. However, her hand was caught while it was still in the air.

With a stern look, Raegan warned, “Mrs. Dixon, I am not someone you could slap at will. The next time you try this, I'll be sure to give you the dose of disrespect you deserve."

Luciana tried to free her hand, but Raegan's grip was firm. She forcefully dropped it and added, "I'll make sure to return the slap the same way it came. Try me!"

Luciana was momentarily taken aback by Raegan's ice-cold demeanor.

Raegan had grown so much confidence since their last encounter five years ago. Raegan was nothing close to the country bumpkin she had been familiar with, now exuding a presence reminiscent of Luciana's own in her younger days.

Luciana's gaze darkened as she reflected on the past. feeling her thoughts had become too extreme nowadays. She used to be an easy-going person.

Seeing Luciana didn't respond to Raegan's words, Katie became frustrated. She dramatically held Luciana's hand and leaned forward.
