Love Unbreakable

Chater 479

Henley wasn't taken aback. He had always seen Katie as someone who wouldn't hesitate to employ any ruthless schemes to achieve her desired goals.

*Relax. Katie, I'm on your side." Henley's tone was even.

"On my side?" Katie snorted. "You're just trying to climb up the ranks yourself. But really, for a bastard like you, isn't that too much?"

Henley's face turned cold for a moment. But he quickly bounced back. "Katie, this might be the only way Mitchel will give you a chance, don't you think?

Katie was left without words for a second.

Henley went on to explain, "People might not notice the flowers when they're in full bloom, but they'll remember who gave them warmth in the cold."

Katie thought it over and saw some sense in his argument. With Mitchel backed into a corner, she seemed to be the only one who could rescue him. Besides, she figured Henley's wasn't strong enough to truly bring down Mitchel. At most, Henley could only pose some hurdles for Mitchel. And these hurdles could actually turn out to her advantage.

When Mitchel emerged from the conference room, his office had already been combed through by a professional, and all his documents and stuff had been taken.

Surprisingly, Luciana was there waiting.

At that moment, Luciana was supporting Katie, her gaze toward Mitchel somewhat evasive. "Mitchel, why don't you just listen to me for once and treat Katie well..."

Even at this point, Luciana naively believed things would be much better that if Mitchel and Katie teamed up.

Katle, her hands clenched tight, looked at Mitchel with eyes full of sadness. "Mitchel, I swear I had no idea why Henley would say that. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right." There was a catch, though. If Mitchel accepted her help, he'd need to be just as earnest in return.

Luciana chimed in, trying to smooth things over, "Mitchel, Katie was in the dark about this. She cares about you."

Mitchel couldn't help but laugh. "So, this is what you all wanted?

"Mitchel, you've got it all wrong. I..." Katie stated.

Mitchel cut her off. "Katie, I thought you had some sense, but seems like you're not any smarter than Henley."

Katie frowned, visibly upset. Then, her eyes brimming with tears, she implored, "Mitchel, I had no clue about any of this. Please believe me. And right now, I'm your best shot at help, aren't I?"

Mitchel just scoffed. "You couldn't be more wrong.

Katie started to panic, beginning to doubt the effectiveness of Henley's schemes.

As Mitchel walked away, Katie desperately sought Henley out for the next step.

Luciana hurried after Mitchel, trying once more to convince him, "Mitchel..

Mitchel stopped in his tracks.

Luciana pleaded, "Mitchel, can't you be a bit more understanding? Im not getting any younger and I really want a grandchild. Katie is great in all aspects, and she seems to be quite supportive of your career. Haven't you noticed the company doing better these last two years? You..."

"Mom!" Mitchel cut her off. "That kid has nothing to do with me."

Luciana was stunned. There didn't seem to be any reason for Mitchel to lie, especially since the paternity test used samples were collected by her. She went through the test with Katie herself. It seemed impossible for it to be wrong. "Mitchel, don't be too quick to dismiss this. If it turns out you're wrong, you're going to regret it..." Luciana stated. "I'm absolutely certain I'm not wrong." Mitchel looked at Luciana firmly, insisting, "Katie is not what you think." Luciana accused, "You're just biased against Katie."

Mitchel handed Luciana the medicine box. "Did Katie give you this?"

Luciana hesitated, quiltily denying. "No, it's something I've been taking for my health."

Mitchel didn't push Luciana further but clarified. "This is a medicine for Category A psychiatric conditions. It helps them, but for someone healthy, it can lead to confusion, hallucinations, and delusions.

Luciana was startled. "No, how could it be..."

"Go ahead and have it tested yourself if you don't believe me." Mitchel warned, "You should stop using it and be careful with anything Katie gives you to eat."

"I... It wasn't Katie who gave it to me, Luciana insisted.

Mitchel's gaze conveyed a mix of disappointment and detachment. He simply remarked, "I just hope you don't end up regretting this."

With that, he turned and left.

Lucians stood there, her hands shaking. Despite her relatively robust condition, she had been on psychiatric meds for such a long time under the instruction of the so-called doctor Katie had introduced to her.

Luciana break out into cold perspiration. No wonder her thoughts were always so jumbled since taking the medicine, leading her to act against her own desires. If Mitchel was speaking the truth, that suggested Katie had been tricking her all this time. She swallowed hard, wondering the harm she had done to Mitchel and and Raegan.

Just then, after consulting Henley, Katie returned and walked up to Luciana, who seemed lost in thought. "Luciana, are you alright?" she inquired gently.

"Nothing, it's just my hands... They're not cooperating." Luciana fumbled for words to reply, keeping her thoughts to herself.

Katie didn't think much of it, assuming it was merely side effects from the medicine. Holding Luciana's hand, she said softly, "Luciana, I really need you to have a word with Mitchel for me. He's completely taken with Raegan now. He's not thinking straight. Please, talk to Mitchel for his future's sake!"

Her mind in chaos, Luciana nodded absentmindedly. "Okay, I get it. I'll have a chat with him."

*Please do it today. I bet Mitchel's with Raegan right this minute, Katie said, clearly upset. "You might not be aware, but Raegan had given birth to a kid with another man. Mitchel ignores his own child but looks after Raegan's, totally enchanted by her."

Luciana, thinking back on her encounters with Raegan, felt she got all muddled up. Her memories of Raegan being polite and warm were at odds with the idea that Katie was pushing, painting Raegan as some kind of witch aiming to ruin Mitchel.

Gripping her head in pain, Luciana groaned and said, "Katie, my head's throbbing. I need to lie down."

Katie, slightly annoyed but hiding it well, sweetly offered, "Alright, III get someone to drive you home."

Luciana hopped in the car. Before long, she reached home. As she stepped out of the vehicle, she inadvertently saw the driver texting Katie to report.

It dawned on Luciana that her life had been subtly invaded by Katie, even to the extent of arranging her transportation, keeping tabs on her without her noticing.

Back in her room, Luciana emptied all the medication provided by the so-called doctor Katie had introduced to her down the drain. Then, she filled those medicine bottles with similar-looking vitamins.

Just as she felt like making a call, she halted, recalling this phone was sent by Katie.

Instead, Luciana used an old phone, normally for ordering groceries from the servants, and called someone. "Fritz, is that you? It's Luciana. I need your help to look into someone..."

Later that evening, Raegan learned about Mitchel's being investigated from Erick, who was abroad. Without wasting a moment, Raegan called Mitchel. The phone barely rang once before he answered. "Hey, Raegan, what's going on?' Mitchel's voice was gentle.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"My brother just told me you're under investigation. Is that true? Raegan didn't beat around the bush.

Mitchel paused before answering, "Yes, but it's no big deal. Don't sweat it."

Raegan wasn't convinced. Erick's account suggested the gravity of the situation, with Alexis and Henley up to no good.

"You're not telling me the whole truth again. Where are you?" Raegan pressed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"One second," Raegan said, thinking Annis had reached the gate with her groceries.

Raegan moved to answer the door, but after she opened it, she was met with Mitchel, looking as handsome as ever.

Shocked, Raegan switched her gaze between her phone and Mitchel.

Mitchel smirked slightly, his tone playful. "Miss Foster, it seems a homeless man has shown up at your door. Any chance you could let him in?
