Henley's suggestion wasn't meant to benefit Katie. By proposing this idea, It was clear that Henley lacked the ability to take over the Dixon Group on his own. If Mitchel agreed to marry Katie, it would essentially validate the accusations, giving Henley the perfect opportunity to take advantage when the moment was right and take over in one clean sweep.

Katie was being manipulated, totally oblivious to it. It seems that obsession could blind even the most detail-oriented person like Katie.

Katie's frustration was palpable, her fingers pressing into her palm and her teeth gritted as she demanded, “What exactly are you trying to say? Make it clear!"

Raegan just smirked. "Some dreams remain dreams. But if there's ever a wedding, do send an invite to flaunt it."

Raegan didn't want to alert Henley with what she had figured out from Katie's reaction.

"Miss Glyn, take care. I won't walk you out." Raegan smiled before turning around.

Katie looked at Raegan sharply. “Why do you think Mitchel won't marry me? What makes you so sure?"

From Katie's perspective, Mitchel had no other choice.

Raegan, on her way to the door, stopped and offered a chuckle. "My confidence comes from him. He told me to trust him."

Mitchel had asked Raegan to have confidence in him.

Raegan, who wasn't well-versed in business matters, could see through Henley's schemes. Surely, Mitchel had known about it and made preparations beforehand. All Raegan had to do was trust his judgment.

Watching Raegan leave, Katie stamped her foot in frustration and called Luciana to vent.

Luciana comforted her, "Katie, in my eyes, you're already my daughter-in-law. Don't worry. I'll talk to Mitchel."

Feeling a bit better, Katie said, "Thanks, Luciana."

“Why thank me? You're carrying Mitchel's baby. If Mitchel dares to deny you, he'll have me to answer to!" Luciana said, seemingly on Katie's side.

Katie felt reassured by Luciana's growing support, hanging on to every word, and silently thanked the fortune-teller she had arranged for this turnaround.

Luciana went on, “But Katie, Mitchel has always denied being the father of your baby. When did you two become involved? Can you tell me about it?"

Katie was taken aback for a moment, lapsing into silence.

Luciana said earnestly, "Katie, I do trust you without any doubts, but Mitchel is adamant that nothing happened between you two. He insists he's not involved with you at all. It's quite perplexing. I'm struggling to understand who's mistaken here..."

“Luciana, I swear I haven't lied to you!" Katie added emphatically, "This child is Mitchel's, without a doubt!"
