In Katie’s ward.

Upon awakening after the miscarriage, Katie looked down at her now smaller belly, her eyes not filled with sorrow but with relief.

She had never wanted this pregnancy, and her desire to end it had only grown after the last doctor’s visit.

By using Raegan as a pawn in her scheme to kill the baby in her belly, though Katie hadn’t achieved her initial goal, she had still extracted some advantage.

With this incident, she assumed she could push Raegan toward imprisonment and then discreetly resolve Raegan’s pregnancy on her terms.

Katie was quietly satisfied with her scheming until her assistant’s next words doused her smugness.

The assistant spoke hesitantly.

“Miss Glyn, that woman was released by Mr.

Dixon.

“What? What did you say?” Katie’s shock was palpable.

The assistant repeated cautiously, careful not to upset Katie further.

“That woman was released by Mr.

Dixon.

Infuriated, Katie grabbed a water bottle and hurled it at her assistant’s face.

She yelled, “You’re worthless! Didn’t I instruct you to take her to the police station? There’s no surveillance at the back entrance.

If you had just insisted you saw her push me, you could have definitely gotten her locked up!”

This was precisely the ploy Katie had concocted, using the pretext of slipping to let Raegan pull her up.

If Raegan had pulled her, the safety of Raegan’s unborn children would have been at risk, and Raegan’s own safety would have been compromised as well.

In that case, Katie could claim that Raegan was trying to push her but ended up bumping into the sharp corner of the table by accident.

Katie could then replace an easy way to get away while Raegan’s pregnancy was definitely terminated.

Raegan would suffer not only physically but could also face legal consequences for the alleged assault.

Katie did not foresee Raegan being so astute and avoiding the trap.

Yet, she could not let her well-devised miscarriage be for nothing.

With the same logic, she still had the means to send Raegan to prison.

But Katie did not anticipate her assistant bungling such a straightforward task.

The assistant, soaked with hot water and not daring to dodge, bowed her head and spoke.

“Mr.

Dixon’s assistant stopped me and warned me not to be rash, or he would be the first to report me to the police for making false testimony.

Katie, enraged, threw her phone at her assistant and then started hurling whatever she could replace.

“He intimidated you, and you just believed him? Making false testimony? What proof does he have? I don’t care.

Go to the police station now and get that woman arrested!”

“I…” The assistant hesitated.

After all, Mitchel’s men had secured a video from an employee from the restaurant, vividly capturing Katie’s plan to frame Raegan and her subsequent failure.

“What are you waiting for? Leave, now!” Katie flung a pillow at her assistant, but Mitchel, entering the room nonchalantly, caught it.

Mitchel then told Katie’s assistant, “Leave.

The assistant, feeling as though she had been granted clemency, didn’t even glance at Katie and hurried out.

She was completely subdued by Mitchel’s presence, forgetting that her actual superior was Katie.

“Mitchel, what is this supposed to mean?” Katie, overwhelmed by her emotions and not bothering to disguise them anymore, demanded answers.

She had lost her child and received not a shred of sympathy from Mitchel.

Clearly, since the child was not his, he could not muster even a trace of empathy.

Mitchel ignored her inquiry and simply stated, “You’ve just had surgery.

You need to rest.
