Chapter 918:

? ? ? ? ?

Katie looked at Mitchel, momentarily surprised by his calm demeanor. However, his surprise was short-lived, as he enjoyed the unfolding drama, especially thinking about Raegan, who he imagined was watching from some hidden place. The idea gave him perverse pleasure.

Katie had decided not to provoke Raegan earlier, anticipating this moment. Furthermore, Mitchel had assigned someone to watch her, restricting her movements. How else could he have missed such a good opportunity to antagonize Raegan?

However, it seemed that Mitchel was unaware of Raegan's return.

Observing Mitchel's calm demeanor, Katie reflected on the supposed punishment she had meted out to Raegan. He simply sent Raegan abroad and prohibited her from returning to Ardlens.

Katie was fuming. This was hardly a punishment, not compared to what she had endured. Mitchel had forced her to spend days on end with the box of her deformed baby, a monstrosity she believed had left her with the use of well-devised ruses. The nightmarish vision of Abel, with his charred body, tormented her in her dreams. For two consecutive nights, this horrifying specter had come to her, demanding an account.

In Katie's nightmare, Abel, who normally obeyed her every order, turned on her, choking her while asking her why she had not protected her son.

In fact, as soon as Katie learned that the child in her womb was not Mitchel's, dark thoughts assailed her. He thought about ending his life.

However, the possibility of using the boy against Mitchel made her hesitate.

However, the idea of ​​eliminating the child persisted, waiting for the right moment. After all, he believed that no man would willingly accept another man's child.

Driven by desperation, Katie recklessly consumed hormonal pills and neglected her health, looking for any excuse to terminate the pregnancy.

Katie rationalized her decision, blaming her overwhelming love for Mitchel. I felt like I had sacrificed a lot. Losing him would be unbearable. Resolute, she was determined to prevail this time.

Looking at Mitchel's strikingly handsome face, a disturbing suspicion plagued Katie. Something was wrong.

Before Katie could delve deeper into her thoughts, Henley's next announcement caught everyone's attention.

“Ladies and gentlemen, shareholders of the Dixon Group, I must disclose a crucial matter,” Henley announced, capturing everyone's full attention. «Mitchel is not actually my father's son. He…"

The room fell into a dead silence, everyone hanging on Henley's words.

Everyone was in disbelief.

Henley, a master of suspense, paused and cleared his throat before revealing: "I was an orphan, adopted by my father as a charitable gesture."

Henley then showed a paternity test on the big screen that unequivocally stated that there was no blood relationship between Alexis and Mitchel. "This proof has been notarized, and my father is willing to notarize it again at any time," he proclaimed.

A moment of silence passed, before the crowd erupted into whispers and murmurs.

"My goodness, isn't Mr. Mitchel Dixon actually the son of Mr. Alexis Dixon?"

«I always wondered why they were so enemies, fighting daily over the company. "I thought who else would inherit Mr. Alexis Dixon's estate if not Mr. Mitchel Dixon, but to think they're not even related!"

«I had already heard rumors that Mr. Alexis Dixon had an illegitimate son. It seems that they were not just rumors.

«Now Mr. Henley Dixon is not an illegitimate son. He is the only heir of the Dixon family..."

These murmurs, audible but discreet, filled the stage area.
