At that moment, Raegan’s heart twisted in agony, her breath caught in her throat.

The revelation was unimaginable.

How could this be happening? How could Mitchel be the father? This was supposed to be Katie’s child with that bodyguard!

Mitchel seemed to read the confusion in Raegan’s eyes and offered a flat explanation.

“It was an accident.

We were drinking, and it just happened.

Katie called it a misunderstanding the next morning, so I thought nothing more of it.

I had no idea that was the night she conceived.

Now, the Dixon family is counting on this child.

Even Katie’s fall this time had been hidden since the existence of Katie’s child could attract the maximum attention, regardless of its father.

Mitchel had his assistant publicly announced that Katie and the little boy were safe, deliberately fooling the public with the false news of the new arrival of an heir of the Dixon family.

In the prestigious Dixon family, the first male heir was destined to be a significant figure, poised to attract attention and influence the family’s future.

After a moment’s reflection, Raegan connected the dots.

She realized Katie must have been pregnant when she had been with Mitchel.

Feeling utterly demeaned, as though she had been trampled underfoot, her emotions got the better of her.

In a fit of indignation, Raegan snatched the teacup from the table and flung its contents straight at Mitchel’s face.

Mitchel managed to shield his face with his hand, but tea leaves splattered his arm and hair.

Anger flashed across his features as he gripped Raegan’s wrist tightly.

His eyes were icy as he confronted her.

“Have you lost your senses?”

“Yes, I’ve lost my senses.

That’s why I agreed to reunite with you.

And that’s why I fell for you again.

Mitchel, you are truly unworthy of my love!” Raegan’s voice cracked with self-mockery as her face turned pale, and tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Although Mitchel was initially furious, the despair in Raegan’s eyes softened his demeanor, leaving him speechless.

The depth of Raegan’s sorrow made it difficult for her to breathe.

She stared at the man before her, feeling as if he were a stranger.

How could Mitchel have changed so drastically, to no Longer resemble the man she once knew?

It became painfully clear to Raegan that in their relationship, she was the only one who had truly cared.

To Mitchel, she had always been nothing more than a convenient partner, easily disposable when no longer needed.

At the first sign of his interests being threatened, he was ready to cast her aside, just as he was doing now.

After her tears, a bitter laugh escaped Raegan.

Thankfully, Mitchel was unaware of her own pregnancy with his children.

If he had known, he might have taken drastic measures to eliminate any complications.

Determined to protect her unborn children, Raegan resolved that the twins belonged solely to her, independent of anyone else’s claims.

Convinced by this ordeal to guard her heart against future wounds, Raegan decided her future would be devoted solely to her children.

She planned to give birth to the twins so Janey wouldn’t face the future alone.

They would have each other.

Resolved to end things with Mitchel once and for all, Raegan turned to leave, but he pulled her back gently yet firmly.

His soft tone contrasted with his words.

“I haven’t let you go yet.

Raegan’s reply was icy and final.

“What more do you want from me?”

Mitchel declared firmly, “You have only one option now.

Leave the country and never return.

Raegan was taken aback by his ultimatum.

Clearly, he was determined to force her out.

She responded defiantly, “I didn’t push Katie.

Her miscarriage has nothing to do with me.

I refuse to pay the price for something I’m not responsible for…”

Before she could finish, Mitchel interrupted her sharply.

His tone was icy.

“Raegan, this isn’t a negotiation.

Given the influence of the Glyn and Dixon families, once you’re behind bars, you’ll never be released.

Raegan paused, stunned, and let out a bitter laugh.

“So if I refuse, you’d have me die in prison?”

Mitchel’s silent stare was confirmation enough.
