Abel turned slightly and then kowtowed to Katie with a loud thud as his forehead connected with the ground. Immediately, blood poured out, covering his face. The blood streamed down, soaking his eyebrows and eyes, giving Abel a horrifying appearance.

In a quiet voice, Abel murmured, "Miss, I... I'm sorry."

Abel's words chilled Katie to the core. Abel had always been loyal to her, rarely letting her down. Her lips trembled as she tried to keep her composure and said, “Abel, think carefully before you speak."

Abel knew Katie was warning him. Yet, he felt cornered. If he stayed silent, his child in Katie's belly would be at risk of being terminated. And Katie could be in danger.

"I... Your child..." Abel clenched his teeth and blurted out, "Your child is mine!"

Katie's complexion turned ghostly pale. "What... What are you talking about?"

She couldn't believe her ears and forced a smile. "Abel, you're my assistant, nothing more. What kind of pressure are you under to say such things?"

Katie suspected Mitchel had forced Abel into lying like this.

Mitchel gave a sly smile and signaled to Matteo. “Show it to Miss Glyn."

Matteo presented three paternity tests, all confirming the match.

Katie examined them, struggling to stay calm. After a tense few seconds, she grabbed the paternity tests and ripped them up into tiny pieces like confetti. "Mitchel, you just tried to get rid of me! I refuse to fall for your twisted lies. I refuse! You're just trying to deny the child I'm carrying!"

Katie laughed hysterically. "I'll make sure the whole country knows what a hypocrite you are, Mitchel. You slept with me, got me pregnant, and now you're pretending it never happened!"

Despite Katie's furious outburst, Mitchel stayed quiet, his expression turning frostier.

Abel, alarmed at the frosty look Mitchel gave out, managed to free himself from the ropes and hurriedly wrapped his arms around Katie from behind. "Miss, please stop this. The child is mine. I'm sorry, but it was me with you that night... It really was me..."

"Get off me!" Katie screamed furiously. "You're worthless! You don't deserve to touch me!"

Abel didn't release Katie. He shielded her belly, fearful she might harm herself.

In a fit of rage, Katie grabbed a nearby ashtray and struck Abel on the head, causing him to bleed, but he still didn't let go.

The drama was unfolding, Katie lashing out and Abel accepting each blow.

Mitchel watched the entire scene in silence and then rose slowly. His eyes cold, he declared, “Tomorrow, I want all those rumors gone. Don't try to pin this child on me. Otherwise..."

A chilling threat crossed Mitchel's handsome face. "I'll release a detailed account of how Miss Glyn's bodyguard got her pregnant."
