Chapter 841:

Finally, they arrived at the reserved chamber. As soon as the door closed behind them, Mitchel quickly released her hand.

Katie stumbled and grabbed the back of a chair to steady herself, tears streaming down her face. His right hand throbbed painfully, almost numb.

Mitchel remained motionless, bathed in the harsh overhead light that highlighted his handsome features.

However, to Katie, his expression might as well have been that of the grim reaper. A shiver ran through her and just looking at him made her legs weak.

Mitchel looked at Katie, his voice deep and rough. "Katie, do you like games?"

Katie's heart skipped a beat. He fought his anxiety and tried to maintain his composure. «Mitchel, what do you mean? I don't understand".

Mitchel realized his feigned ignorance and his eyes became colder.

“Didn't I tell you to avoid upsetting her?”

Katie, filled with a mixture of bitterness and resentment, replied: "I didn't do it... I only came to you because I noticed some reporters nearby. "I had no idea Raegan was here."

Katie assumed he had only said a few words to Raegan. How could that be seen as a provocation?

"You didn't know?" Mitchel scoffed. "If you didn't know, why didn't you just shut up?"

«You have understood everything wrong. I had planned to make a dress for a trip, which was postponed. I thought it was a good opportunity to…”

«Ah! "Ah!" Katie hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly covered her face and screamed.

"Smash!" The sound of shattering filled the room as a porcelain bowl grazed Katie's face and shattered against the glass turntable.

"Keep your machinations to yourself." Mitchel had no interest in listening to Katie. His lips twisted into a cold smile. "If you are not interested in continuing our agreement, you are free to leave."

Katie's expression quickly changed to one of panic as she reached out to grab Mitchel's arm. However, remembering the recent pain, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.

Katie realized that neither excuses nor tears would work in front of Mitchel, so she abandoned the act. «Mitchel, you promised me a wedding. What's wrong with me defending my rights before that?

His confident tone and the quick change in his demeanor were surprising.

It was his true self.

“Also, as part of our agreement, I promised to stop the Maxwell family from trying to kill Raegan and help you find the antidote after the wedding. Aren't those conditions significant enough?

Katie stood straight, her gaze radiating the confident glow of someone who has the upper hand. In dealing with Mitchel, she considered herself in an advantageous position.

When Mitchel returned, Katie was the only one aware that he had been poisoned. Without wasting a moment, she addressed him directly to explain her demands. Obviously, Mitchel would have to agree. After all, their survival was at stake.

It was said that the poison was lethal without a cure, but that was not entirely true. Davey had helped Katie find the scientist who had invented the antidote.

Mitchel, to Katie's astonishment, made it a condition that she wanted Raegan removed from the Maxwell family's hit list. Mitchel even mentioned the Maxwell family by name, making it clear that he knew their connections.
