Indeed, Katie never intended to harm Mitchel. The drug injected into him was meant for Raegan.

Katie just indiscriminately targeted everyone close to Mitchel.

Whether it was Tessa or Lauren, everything had turned out just as she had planned.

During those times that Katie did not do things herself, she subtly instigated others to do the dirty work and let them take the blame.

Her facade of being gentle and reasonable never showed any sign that she was the mastermind.

The list of people she had harmed was endless. Aside from Tessa and Lauren, Mitchel's child he had never met were harmed. Also, Katie's own assistant Abel and the innocent Luciana. Some of them even died without knowing it was Katie who had caused their deaths.

Katie had masterfully manipulated others behind the scenes. She only did the planning and the talking, and those bad people did worse to help her achieve her goals.

Lauren's being sexually abused by that despicable man was also Katie's doing, a move aimed to intensify Lauren's hatred and anger toward Raegan. Knowing how much Mitchel loved Raegan, she recklessly sought to eliminate Raegan.

But Katie didn't expect Lauren to accidentally harm Mitchel, which was a significant oversight in her calculated schemes.

Katie involuntarily shuddered. But she stubbornly insisted, “Mitchel, I didn't do anything. Don't accuse me unjustly. I've always been a law-abiding citizen."

Indeed, Katie was innocent in the eyes of others. After all, most of the dirty works were carried out by Abel.

After Abel's death, Katie became even more cautious, making it almost impossible to find direct evidence of her crimes. Thus, she acted with righteous indignation now. She covered her face, feigning sorrow.

“Mitchel, if you want to accuse me, you need evidence. Why are you doing this to me? Has Raegan bewitched you? She has already said she has nothing to do with you. She doesn't love you. Why can't you let her go?"

Mitchel's expression remained utterly serene, unaffected by Katie's words.

He felt he had made the right decision. He couldn't afford to let Katie continue to be a threat for Raegan. With the fatal toxin in his system and the lack of antidote at the time being, he didn't know when he would meet his end.

After a long silence, Mitchel said softly, "It's fine if she doesn't love me."

This was the only sentence he said gently, showing Katie a different side of Mitchel. It was a side of him she had never experienced.

Katie's heart was overwhelmed by jealousy. Her face twisted. "Mitchel, why can't you even look at me? I am willing to do anything for you! But you only see that woman!" Katie shouted hysterically.

She didn't just kill or harm people. She had done a lot in secret.

But why couldn't she move Mitchel's heart?
