“Mitchel, do you still harbor feelings for me?"

This puzzling remark caused Mitchel to furrow his brow slightly, clearly puzzled by her assertion.

However, Katie giggled joyfully. “Even though you left me with Lorenzo, you were secretly concerned he might harm me, so you covertly switched his gun to protect me..."

Mitchel was left speechless. His lips pressed tightly together, genuinely taken aback by her misconception, unable to respond.

Raegan was equally taken aback. It appeared Katie was genuinely delusional. Any rational person could see that wasn't the case.

Yet, Katie remained lost in her delusional world, laughing even more brightly. "Mitchel, I... I forgive you. Even though you abandoned me for this woman, I'm not upset. I'm willing to share you with her. Moving forward, we... We could take shift to have you. Monday, Wednesday, Friday for you and her, and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday for you and me. How does that sound?" Katie shockingly proposed.

Mitchel furrowed his brow. "Are you out of your mind? When have I ever protected you?"

In Katie's persistent dream state, she refused to awaken, vehemently insisting, "That's how you protected me. Mitchel, cease deceiving me. I am aware you harbor emotions for me deep down. We have collaborated and resided together for numerous years..."

As Katie's assertions became increasingly extravagant, referencing actions Mitchel had never taken, all creations of her imagination.

Mitchel interjected coldly, "Katie, when I left you with Lorenzo, I envisioned two potential outcomes. One where he would subject you to torment until death, and another where you would eliminate him, only to face retaliation from the entire Maxwell company!"

“No... No... It's not like that..." Shattered by his cruel revelation, Katie clasped her hands to her chest, murmuring, “You care for me... You hold feelings for me... You're lying..."

Katie immersed herself deeper into hypnosis, reconstructing her idyllic dream one phrase at a time.

"You claim forgiveness, but what authority do you possess? The one perpetrating wrong and malevolence from the outset is you, not anyone else. Remember, the things you've committed, be it in this life or the next, or even the one beyond that, are beyond forgiveness!"

Mitchel's lips formed a beautiful yet severe curve as he delivered his brutal statement, "I anticipated your victory over Lorenzo because I believed the latter outcome would be more gratifying!"

The consequences of offending the entire Maxwell family were widely understood.

Not every member of the Maxwell family was eccentric. Indeed, not every nation lacked laws permitting unrestricted behavior.

However, Lorenzo stood out as an anomaly, renowned for his utter madness, causing disturbances wherever he went, and enjoying the family head's favoritism.

Numerous family members disapproved of Lorenzo because, fueled by favoritism, Lorenzo acted recklessly, impulsively, and with excessive showiness.

Those opposed to Lorenzo might rejoice for three days upon learning of his demise.

Nevertheless, while the current Maxwell family head lived, anyone responsible for Lorenzo's death cannot evade capture and would undoubtedly face apprehension, followed by the subjection of the most brutal penalties!
