Seemingly unhinged, Katie lay on the ground, resembling a dog struggling in its last moments, making a scary, occasional chuckle sound.

Mitchel hobbled forward, using the makeshift crutch to force open her tightly closed hand. And there it was, a syringe with unknown toxin, just as he had expected.

The veins on Mitchel's forehead instantly stood out. His suspicion had been spot on! Katie had indeed intended to poison Raegan.

In an instant, a fierce flame ignited from the soles of his feet, burning up to his eyes.

His beautiful eyes were scorched a bloodred.

"You wanted to poison Raegan?" Mitchel spat out each word forcefully, as if grinding them between his teeth, his heart filled with visible hatred and madness.

Katie showed no regret, completely indifferent. "Of course. If I'm going down, none of you are going to do well! Especially you!"

Katie raised her index finger at Raegan, her teeth clenched in anger as she snapped, “If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess! You bring bad luck!"

Even at this moment, Katie refused to acknowledge her own faults, instead placing the blame entirely on others.

"If it weren't for you, Mitchel wouldn't be counting down his remaining days due to the lethal poison! That syringe was meant for you. Your child's miscarriage happened because you deserved it. You should never have been by Mitchel's side. You've only brought him disaster. Every time he's hurt or in grave danger, it's all because of you! You are a cursed, ill-fated presence! You are a doomed ominous woman!"

Raegan was left without words, stunned by Katie's insanity and the nonsense she spouted.

"Crack!" A sharp sound echoed.

The index finger Katie had used to point at Raegan was forcefully broken by Mitchel.

“Ah!" Katie screamed in agony.

"You!" Mitchel's long-restrained anger finally exploded at this moment. “Shut the fuck up!"

None of Katie's actions were forgivable. With her attempt to shoot Raegan and inject Raegan with poison, Katie deserved to get rotten in the hell.

Mitchel bent his good knee, crouching down, and then swung his hand, delivering a harsh slap to Katie's face.

This was the first time Mitchel had ever hit a woman in his life. He had always been repulsed by the idea of men hitting women, and his upbringing had taught him never to resort to physical violence against women.

But now, even just a slap didn't feel sufficient to release the hatred he harbored inside.

Mitchel then clenched his fist and smashed it against Katie's face, causing her already terrifying face to quickly swell and distort even more.
