Despite the icy stare, Katie stood her ground. "I have no idea what you're suggesting."

Details of Katie's father's condition were not widely known, but it was not surprising that Henley had found out. However, Katie suspected that Henley was just bluffing. She refused to be manipulated.

With calculated indifference, Henley continued, "As I understand it, your father's prolonged unconsciousness is due to incorrect medication."

His implication was clear. If Katie persisted in denying any knowledge, it would be useless.

However, Katie stood her ground and replied coldly, “Whatever you think you know, it has nothing to do with me. If you have evidence, present it.

The real author, Abel, had long died. Any punishment would have to reach beyond the grave.

Unperturbed, Henley's demeanor remained light, but his voice contained a warning. «Katie, stop acting.

Cooperating with me is the best for you. Believe me. If I didn't want you to marry Mitchel, you wouldn't have a chance.

"You?" Katie's voice dripped with contempt. "Do you really think you have that much strength?"

Katie's face clearly conveyed her disdain. It wasn't the first time he underestimated Henley. To her, only someone of Mitchel's caliber was worth her consideration.

Suddenly, Henley quickly stood up from her seat, grabbed Katie and pinned her down, her hands around her throat as she screamed, "Do you want to see my strength now?"

Coughing, Katie flailed her arms frantically, gasping. "Let go of me... Let go of me..."

Just when Katie felt like she couldn't breathe anymore, Henley let her go.

He straightened, adjusted his tie, and took a deep breath, seeming to enjoy the moment of dominance. How he wished he could finish her off like that. However, he still needed her.

Katie, coughing and gasping, her voice rough and strained as if her throat was hurt, managed to choke out, “I won't let you get away with this. You entered my room and attacked me. "I'm going to call the police."

"Call the police?" Henley gave a disdainful chuckle. "When they come, they will take you, not me."

Henley threw a medical report on the table and coldly declared, “Your father's medication list does not include methotrexate, a banned substance. Mixed with cephalosporins, it is fatal. And guess what they found in your father's body?

Katie's eyes widened in fright as she looked at the report. He didn't expect Henley to have inside information at the hospital that could access his father's records. Frustration at his subordinates' incompetence boiled within him. They were becoming a liability.

At that moment, Katie missed Abel very much. Such mistakes would have been unthinkable under his watch.

With a smug smile, Henley pressed, "Would you mind explaining this 'coincidence'?"

Katie understood that Henley had other plans and wasn't too worried about him making his discoveries public. She looked at him intently.

“What are you really looking for?”

Henley's response was uniform. "I am here to claim what is rightfully mine."

Although Katie doubted Henley's abilities, his unpredictability made her cautious. He responded cautiously, “Even if the Dixon family has something of yours, Mitchel is the rightful heir. It is yours by right.

Henley's smile took on a more sinister quality. "Katie, since we're both cut from the same cloth, I'll tell you a secret."
