Mitchel's wedding with Katie had been a sham, orchestrated to neutralize the threat Lorenzo posed to Raegan. After learning the entire truth, Erick found himself without any reservation about Mitchel. Mitchel had honored every commitment he made to Raegan.

Should Mitchel fully recover, Erick resolved not to stand in their way.

Yet, Raegan remained silent on the matter, leaving Erick puzzled about her thoughts.

During the tense days of Mitchel's coma, the initial period was critical. The doctor issued frequent updates on his precarious condition.

On the surface, Raegan was calm and composed, never bringing him up.

However, on the third night, she discreetly wheeled herself to the ward where Mitchel was being treated. But she couldn't enter the ICU.

Watching Matteo hurriedly moving about and witnessing the distress each time doctors emerged to update on Mitchel's critical state only deepened Raegan's pain. She felt like a coward, too fearful to hear any updates about Mitchel. For her, mo news was preferable to potentially devastating news. She couldn't bear the thought of facing the scenario from her nightmare. The pain she had endured in the ordeal in her vivid nightmare was excruciating. It felt as though fate was taunting them, each twist another stab of the double-edged sword they faced.

Days passed, and Raegan's health improved enough for her to walk independently, her medical indicators returning to normal.

During this recovery period, Erick ensured Victor was constantly by Raegan's side.

Victor eventually brought news that Lorenzo had been killed by Katie.

More startling was the revelation that Katie too had passed away.

Katie had left behind little family. Her father was deceased, and her stepmother, who had been ousted by Katie's dominating presence, returned home gleefully upon hearing of Katie's demise.

The police conducted an autopsy on Katie's body, which the stepmother had authorized. The results showed that Katie died from massive trauma, excessive bleeding leading to pleural effusion, and asphyxiation.

Essentially, Katie's demise was a classic case of reaping what she had sowed. Authorities had collected evidence of Katie's misdeeds.

However, with her death, legal proceedings were no longer pursued.

Katie's stepmother showed no concern for Katie since she had endured Katie's abuse within the Glyn family for years. Upon learning of Katie's actions, she was relieved. She had wisely distanced herself early on, which likely spared her from becoming another of Katie's victims.

The stepmother refused to even claim Katie's ashes, instructing a bodyguard to dispose of them indifferently without purchasing a grave, a clear testament to her disdain.

Although Katie's end was tragic, Raegan felt no pity for her. Katie probably never anticipated such an end. Had Katie foreseen it, she might have chosen a different path.

Regarding the attempt on Raegan's life, Victor had uncovered some details. The assassin hailed from Aurora.

The mention of Aurora puzzled Raegan. Why would someone from a place she had never visited harbor such a deadly grudge against her?
