Love Unbreakable

Chapter 491

Mitchel's unwavering defense of Raegan was evident to all. Each utterance carried the weight of a relentless assault, leaving Katie reeling.

In a heartbeat, Katie's confidence shattered. She felt the sting of being labeled as an outsider from Mitchel's words.

Luciana promptly intervened, assuming the role of mediator. "Mitchel, what prompts you to say so? Katie treats me like her own mother, and this establishment is just like her home."

Katie's rigid countenance eased a bit at Luciana's words. With effort, she mustered a strained smile and offered, "Mitchel, I didn't mean anything..."

Mitchel remained resolute, showing no inclination to engage further. Redirecting his attention to Luciana, he stated, "If you have something to say, speak up. There's no need to exclude Raegan.

His protective stance toward Raegan was unmistakable in his words.

Left with no alternative, Luciana voiced her concerns, "Mitchel, your decision to sever ties with the Glyn family has resulted in their stocks plummeting, practically pushing them toward bankruptcy. Isn't this excessive? Remember, Katie is carrying your child. Even if nothing else matters to you, think about the child in her belly..."

Mitchel's response was cold and decisive. "Mom, I have shown mercy for the sake of her father. Besides, considering Katie's collaboration with Alexis for personal gain, my legal team could have pursued legal action against her."

Katie's complexion drained of color as she interjected, "Mitchel, you've misunderstood. It was Alexis who approached me first, claiming it was your intention. I've already explained this to your mom."

Luciana stood in defense of Katie. "Yeah. Mitchel, I can vouch for Katie's unwavering loyalty to you. Please, think about the child in her belly..."

"The child?" Mitchel's voice dripped with disdain. "Ive repeated it endlessly. The child Katie purports to carry is not mine. You can't force me to recognize a child who is irrelevant to me."

"Mitchel, I'm carrying your child. That's the truth!" Katie's visage betrayed her anguish. "Regardless of your opinion, I will bring this child into the world. If you refuse to accept it, I will raise it alone!"

Katie's words held an implicit threat toward Mitchel. She anticipated a slew of complications once the child was born. She was convinced that a man of Mitchel's stature couldn't be ignorant of the repercussions.

Despite the Dixon family's staunch policy against recognizing illegitimate children, Katie reasoned that since she became pregnant when Mitchel was still single, their child couldn't be deemed illegitimate. This child represented her leverage. Moreover, with her arrangement, even before the child's birth, Katie assumed Raegan's demise should already be underway. In this lifetime, the sole woman destined to marry Mitchel was her, and no other. For any woman who drew near to Mitchel would mysteriously vanish without a trace, much like the way she had orchestrated Reegan's "accident" in the past.

Raegan had narrowly escaped last time, but this time... Katie's gaze fell, a fleeting glint of determination flickering in her eyes before vanishing.

Mitchel's countenance remained impassive as he spoke. "Miss Glyn, if you choose to proceed with the pregnancy, do so. However, this child bears no relation to the Dixon family."

Tears brimmed in Katie's eyes as she pleaded, "Mitchel, are you truly disregarding our shared history? Do the five years we spent together mean nothing to you?"

Katie's words sounded like an accusation of Mitchel being unfaithful.

Mitchel frowned, fearing Raegan might get the wrong idea and overthink. He narrowed his eyes, his tone frigid as ice. "What transpired between us during those five years?"

Tears and grievances streamed down Katie's face as she implored, "Mitchel, I'm not leveraging our past to hold you accountable to me, but you must acknowledge your responsibility for our child. Please, don't leave me to face this alone..." Katie's words danced on the edge of clarity, simultaneously answering his question and yet revealing nothing at all. Mitchel, a conventional man, found himself unable to argue with Katie, despite feeling repulsed by the situation. Growing impatient, Mitchel's frown deepened. "Katie, are you suggesting that the benefits you received from Alexis weren't sufficient, or that you haven't gained enough from the Dixon Group?"

Katie's complexion paled, as though her very skin had been peeled away. "Mitchel, are you accusing me of these charges because of this woman?"

Katie bit her lip, tears mingling with her grievance. "Are you going to get rid of our child for her sake?"

Raegan couldn't help but be amazed at the performance Katie was delivering. If not for the solid foundation of trust between Mitchel and her, Katie's provocation would likely have sparked conflict between them.

"Miss Glyn, please hold back your tears, Raegan interjected suddenly. "While you often mention the past five years of companionship, can you provide any concrete evidence or memorable moments? You've spent half a decade with Mitchel, yet you can't recall a single significant event?

Katie froze, her cheeks betraying a flush of embarrassment. Through gritted teeth, she retorted, "No matter what you say, you cannot deny that Mitchel loved me!"

Katie's only aim was to disgust Raegan.

Katie assumed, without Raegan, Mitchel would have inevitably fallen for her. It was all Raegan's doing.

Unfazed, Raegan asked Katie directly, "So, Miss Glyn, was your pregnancy unplanned? Where did it occur? When?"

Katie gazed at Raegan as if confronted by a monstrous enigma, unable to fathom why such questions were being posed. Shouldn't Raegan be avoiding such probing questions?

Raegan actually didn't care at all. She knew very well that Katie aimed to incite and disgust her.

In this battle, Raegan was determined not to be outdone. She gently clasped Mitchel's arm, a smile playing on her lips. "If you can't answer these questions, how can I trust Mitchel loved you?

Katie lapsed into silence.

Raegan persisted, her tone firm, "You see, you're still unable to provide any answers. You can't even clarify how this child came to be, or how far along it is now. Simple questions, yet you remain silent."

Katie seethed with frustration. Yet, no matter how she wracked her brain, all that escaped her lips was, "It's Mitchel's child." Observing Luciana's distress ease, Mitchel felt the urge to depart, truly loathing Katie's presence. He clasped Raegan's hand, readying to depart.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

In a desperate attempt to halt Mitchel's departure, Luciana sat up urgently, her voice echoing through the room. "Mitchel, wait! How can you treat Katie like this? Even though she didn't respond to the questions, I know she's three and a half

months pregnant. I trust Katie. She's carrying your child!"

Mitchel's brow furrowed, halting his steps instantly.
