Mitchel reached out but didn't actually touch Katie. Instead, he acted, stroking her hair through the air. “Katie, you're being delusional. The harm done to Raegan, my child, and the suffering my mother went through won't just disappear."

Katie felt more than unnerved. It was as if a venomous scorpion was skittering across her scalp, poised to strike. "You."

Before Katie could finish her sentence, the window shattered with a loud crash.

Katie was still trying to comprehend the situation when three figures dressed in black burst into the room.

Then, loud applause shattered the silence.

Leading the three was Lorenzo himself. With a smirk playing on his lips and his voice dripping with sarcasm, he said, "You two really do seem deeply in love!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned sinister, as if the whole room had descended into a chilling nightmare.

Katie's eyes widened, fear spreading through her like vines and quickly covering her whole body. "No! It's not... It's not what it looks like! It's..."

Her shaky voice revealed her fear. Confronted with a ruthless figure like Lorenzo, no one could stay calm.

Mitchel, however, cut her off. He stepped protectively in front of Katie, squaring off against Lorenzo. "Who are you?"

Mitchel convincingly acted the part of the noble man, the protective husband, his voice filled with urgency, saying, “Don't hurt her. Target me instead."

Following his words, two Two heavy thuds sounded.

The men in black delivered firm kicks to Mitchel's abdomen.

"Pfft!" Blood seeped from the corner of Mitchel's mouth, but his eyes stayed intent on Katie.

Katie found herself at a loss for words. Her frustration was so intense that she nearly bit through her lip. This was exactly the type of deceit she was known for, and now Mitchel was mirroring her tactics flawlessly.

Lorenzo chuckled coldly and then asked Mitchel, “Do you recall, twenty days ago, that mishap with a shipment where you killed a woman?"

Mitchel frowned and his later expression seemingly suggested he finally recalled it. “Oh, that woman..." He acknowledged it without much regret, saying, “It wasn't deliberate."

Mitchel's words were an indirect confession, easily fooling Lorenzo, who was deeply in love with the woman in question. He was further irritated by Mitchel's demeanor.

Convincing Mitchel had murdered his beloved, Lorenzo expected to catch a glimpse of remorse, but Mitchel displayed none. He was about to explode.

Katie, gripped by fear, yelled, “Stop spouting lies! Mitchel, you hadn't killed anyone!"
