Chapter 723

? ? ? ? ?

Raegan's dismissive tone added weight to her words. "One might wonder if you hate Mitchel."

Raegan's claim ignited rampant speculation. In fact, Alexis's demeanor bore little resemblance to that of a grieving father who had just lost his son.

Under the intense scrutiny of the crowd, Alexis's face turned red with embarrassment, but Raegan's words cut even deeper.

Pointing accusingly at Raegan, Alexis shouted, "My son perished trying to save you and now you intend to inherit with your illegitimate son!"

Alexis deliberately distorted the truth, calling out loud to Katie: "My grandson is in Katie's womb. "Do not anticipate introducing an illegitimate child here to create problems."

Maintaining her composure, Raegan presented a legally notarized proof of paternity, stating: "This serves as irrefutable proof."

Upon witnessing it, Alexis's rage manifested itself in a deep shade of purple on her face.

"Furthermore, since Mitchel's death has not been confirmed, there is no inheritance to contest." Raegan's gaze swept over Alexis, Henley, and Katie before settling on them with a cold, mocking smile. «I am here to protect your assets, ensuring they remain intact for those with hidden agendas. As for the child in Miss Glyn's womb, perhaps only she has the answer.

Upon hearing this, reporters began to speculate that there might be additional layers to the story surrounding Katie's son. The ins and outs of such a prominent family were undeniably deep.

Katie gave Raegan a venomous look. If it hadn't been for Lauren's incompetence in ending Raegan's life, Raegan would never have been allowed to speak. Katie didn't expect Mitchel to save Raegan at the cost of her own life.

Alexis was sweating profusely. The situation was becoming more problematic by the minute. If it was discovered that Katie's son was not Mitchel's, her credibility would be completely shattered.

Exchanging a meaningful look with Henley, Alexis concluded the event.

All media outlets present were instructed not to report on the day's events until further notice.

Raegan had anticipated such a contingency. He anticipated Alexis' attempts to suppress the media, but Alexis overlooked the enduring nature of gossip in human society. Even without official coverage, the story would inevitably spread through informal channels.

To avoid further scandals, Alexis must proceed cautiously as her ability to promote Henley is hampered. This situation plays directly in favor of Raegan's strategy.

With the media's influence waning and formalities cast aside, Katie dropped her façade, gripping Raegan's arm tightly. «Unfortunate! Don't you dare slander me! “Keep spreading falsehoods and I will forcefully silence you.”

Raegan shrugged off Katie, casting a disdainful glance at Katie's abdomen. His smile turned icy. "Katie, did you think that by erasing the true results of the paternity test and the biological father you could blame Mitchel for your son?"

Katie calmly replied, "I have performed a paternity test that confirms without a doubt that this child is Mitchel's."

Katie didn't flinch. In his book, Mitchel had died. Alexis supported her unconditionally, giving credit to every word she spoke. A paternity test? I could do ten if I had to.

Raegan scoffed. Miss Glyn, would you dare to do it again?

Katie tearfully responded, "Mitchel's gone, and yet here you are, obviously looking to make trouble..."

Suddenly, a deep voice intervened. "Mitchel may be gone, but I'm staying."

Sitting in a wheelchair, Luciana took center stage, addressing a surprised Katie: "Are you surprised?"

Luciana endured captivity in a villa for days under Katie's instructions until Matteo and his team orchestrated her rescue.
