"And if I hadn't pushed you, would you have held that conference?"

Mitchel probed sternly.

Katie didn't reply.

"If you're so certain the child is mine, then we'll do a paternity test tomorrow," Mitchel declared.

"I refuse!" Katie yelled in defiance. "You're trying to make me abort our baby! You're lying to me. I won't do it!"

Tears stained Katie's cheeks as she asserted, "I've already checked. This child belongs to you."

Mitchel looked at Katie skeptically and asked, "Katie, do you really expect me to trust anything you say?"

Katie suddenly broke down. She charged at Raegan and yelled, "This is all your fault! Weren't you supposed to be dead? Why did you come back and wreck our relationship?"

Mitchel positioned himself protectively in front of Raegan.

Marcelo intervened swiftly, seizing Katie's wrist without hesitation.

Katie's outcry was frantic. “Mitchel, this child is your son, the future leader of the Dixon family! Will you really choose an outsider's child over your own flesh and blood?"

Katie had no reservations. Mitchel was ruthless in handling the Glyn family. He didn't hold back.

Katie had turned off her phone to escape the business turmoil. The collapse of the Glyn Group was imminent. Just yesterday, she dreamt about becoming marrying Mitchel, but today she had fallen from the heights of happiness into despair.

Mitchel saw no point in engaging further with this unhinged Katie. He pondered if Katie was grappling with hysteria or another psychological issue. Her tendency to fabricate situations was clear.

He dismissed the idea of keeping Katie close to gather evidence discreetly. Having someone like Katie around Luciana was too risky.

Mitchel pointed at Katie, instructing Marcelo, "Marcelo, please escort her back and ensure her family watch her closely. And relay this message. If she loses her mind again, don't blame me for handing her to the authority."

Katie was stunned by Mitchel's indifference. Laughing bitterly, she ranted, "So, Mitchel, this is how you discard me for her and her illegitimate child?"

Katie's intense stare unsettled those around her, her words sent shivers through the room.

Raegan stepped up, her voice cold. "Katie, three and a half months pregnant, huh? Let's suppose the child you're carrying is Mitchel's. Back when you got pregnant, I was still Mitchel's wife and you knew that. So, why still chose to be the home wrecker?"

Katie felt a brief twinge of guilt. She had avoided this confrontation precisely because of this damning reality. The child was conceived when Raegan was still Mitchel's wife. But she had no alternatives.
