Jealousy and hatred were evident in her eyes.

Katie intentionally emphasized her barely noticeable belly, standing out more in the grandeur of this mansion, aiming to stir trouble.

“What are you doing here?" Mitchel's concerned face due to Luciana's injury turned icy upon spotting Katie, his entire demeanor radiating an unspoken but palpable aura of distance.

Katie, looking upset from his coldness, said, "I've been taking care of your mom..."

“Enough, you can leave now." Mitchel cut Katie off, pulling Raegan with him as he went upstairs, acting as if Katie didn't exist.

After delving into Luciana's medication, Mitchel had people watch Luciana secretly, ensuring she wasn't harmed by Katie.

Since Luciana trusted Katie and didn't think she was being drugged, Mitchel, without solid evidence, decided to keep a close eye on things.

Watching Mitchel and Raegan heading upstairs, Katie's lips formed a thin Line, noticing how well they seemed to match each other, even from the back. It was a thought she quickly dismissed. Match? She believed she was the only woman who truly matched Mitchel.

Remembering Davey's ban on killing for the month, Katie figured Raegan would have already been gone if otherwise.

Katie slowly let the bitterness and spite fade from her gaze and followed them upstairs.

In the bedroom, Luciana was lying down, unable to sit up because of her waist injury.

Despite her pain, Luciana's face brightened with happiness upon seeing Mitchel, and she tried to get up.

Mitchel rushed to her side, but Katie was quicker.

"Luciana, you shouldn't try to get up. Please, lie back down," Katie said, fluffing up Luciana's pillows to make it more comfortable for Luciana to chat with Mitchel. She was surprisingly thoughtful.

Luciana, with a smile, responded, "Katie, you should grab some rest. Don't stress yourself.”

Katie stood by Luciana's bed, returning the smile. "Luciana, I'm fine."

Mitchel's brow furrowed a bit as he asked, "Mom, how are you holding up?"

"I'm good. Mitchel, why don't you take a seat?" Luciana called Mitchel over with a smile, though she noticeably didn't acknowledge Raegan, who was standing right behind Mitchel.

Raegan didn't seem to mind. She was mainly here to pay a visit and get another glimpse of this mansion.

Just then, Katie gave a soft cough.
