Love Unbreakable

Chapter 474

Katie stopped in her tracks and glanced at Raegan, her voice sounding genuine. "Miss Foster, I'm only trying to help. You're well-known around here. Aren't you worried about what people will think of your studio?"

Katie's statement painted Raegan as arrogant and unreasonable, unwilling to back down even though Katie was offering her a way out.

"There she is, the mistress, acting all superior!"

"Shameless!"

"She's ruining our values!"

Ignoring the harsh words from the onlookers, Raegan said with a hint of amusement, "Miss Glyn, did you cause problems for me with Mr. Dixon's knowledge?

Katie's eyes darted about guiltily. "Does he need to know? I'm pregnant with his baby, so my opinion will represent his in the future."

"You think you can represent him?" Raegan took out her phone, turned off the Bluetooth, and put it on speaker. "Mr. Dixon, did you hear that?"

Katie and Luciana were stunned. When had Raegan called Mitchel? They hadn't noticed at all! So, everything they had said just now was heard by Mitchel.

Before Katie and Luciana could gather their thoughts, Mitchel's clear voice came from the phone. "Where are you? I'm coming right now."

Raegan asked plainly, "I just want to confirm one thing. Is she telling the truth?"

Raegan wanted to hear it straight from Mitchel, rather than guess and worry.

Mitchel answered quickly and decisively, "Raegan, I have no connection to that child. I'll be there soon."

"There's no need. I can handle this." Raegan ended the call.

Katie, too scared to speak until then, dared to question after the call ended, "Are you out of your mind? Why did you call Mitchel?"

"Do you not remember, Miss Glyn? When I was married to Mr. Dixon, you claimed to be his fiancée over the phone," Raegan remarked evenly.

The bystanders were shocked. So, it turned out Raegan was actually the wife! And the pregnant Katie had been provoking Raegan during the latter's marriage. So, basically, Katie's interference ended Raegan's marriage. What an unexpected turn of events!

One onlooker cleverly commented, "it's like the thief yelling stop thief'!'

Other onlookers burst into laughter.

Katie's face lost all color.

With a snort, Raegan said, "Considering your past actions, I had to check the facts with the person involved."

Furious and embarrassed, Katie snapped, "What game are you playing, trying to cause trouble between me and Mitchel!

Raegan mockingly replied, "Miss Glyn, I thought you were just a bit scheming. I didn't realize you were so well-versed in deceit."

Raegan's gaze fell on Katie's belly and smiled, commenting, "Only you know how this child came about."

Katie panicked, protesting loudly, "That's not true!"

Katie's eyes flashed with malice, wishing death upon Raegan. But with onlookers present, she could only clutch her belly, tearfully claiming. "This child is Mitchel's!"

Luciana chimed in, "I can testify. This baby is my son's. You have no right to make accusations!"

The two stood united against Raegan.

Before Raegan could respond, one among the onlookers spoke up. "Hey, we all heard the man himself say the baby isn't his!"

"Right! We sympathized with you moments ago, not knowing you two were teaming up against this young lady!"

"Just before, this mother-in-law was stirring up the onlookers against her ex-daughter-in-law. With such a mother-in- law, truly a curse of bad luck!"

"Disgusting... No wonder they are a family."

"Ugh..."

Everyone was adding in with their thoughts.

Just a while ago, Katie and Luciana were secretly delighted to see Raegan getting scolded, but now their faces were metaphorically slapped raw by the backlash.

Katie's complexion shifted from white to red. Overwhelmed, she pretended to faint, eager to leave this instant.

Luciana swiftly called for her assistant.

Yet, Katie's bodyguard, Abel, was quicker, dashing to Katie's side to pick her up. He shot a menacing look at Raegan as they left, threatening, "If any harm comes to her, I won't let you off!"

Right away, Victor boldly stepped up for Raegan, staring back without flinching. "Miss Glyn was the one at fault, fainting out of guilt. What does that have to do with Miss Foster? Everyone knows Miss Glyn stooped so low as to paint fingers at others for her own mistakes. The nerve of her! Now I get it why you're so loyal to her. Birds of a feather flock together. You guys always play the victim and badmouth others!"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The onlookers gained new understanding from this confrontation. Even Katie's bodyguard was far from being decent. They realized they had misunderstood Raegan, thinking she was the home wrecker. But turned out, she was the real victim, bullied by Katie and Luciana.

An onlooker, filled with righteous indignation, chimed in, "I saw everything. Her fainting was purely out of embarrassment, not because she was attacked. This lady didn't touch her at all!"

"Exactly, I'll back that up. There's no basis for their claims."

"And hey, look at their intimacy. Holding this tightly as if the woman is someone this bodyguard treasures. It raises questions about the baby's father..."

"Yeah, that was not their first hug, for sure..."

Katie, who had been faking unconscious, felt too ashamed to keep it up after hearing those comments. She blurted out, "Let me go!

Abel paused before saying, "Miss, are you..."

Katie then hopped down from Abel's embrace on her own.

Luciana's face fell, sensing the onlookers' comments had a point. It was now obvious that Katie had been carried by Abel in such a manner multiple times before, only choosing to get down after being called out.

Still, to maintain appearances, Luciana had her assistant help Katie as they hurried away, their departure marked by a sense of humiliation.

Once inside the elevator, Katie sternly told Abel, "My dad hired you to keep me safe, not to overreact without any real threat. Do you understand?"

Abel, looking down, expressed his regret, "I'm truly sorry. I'm not good with these social situations and I've caused you embarrassment."

He started hitting himself across the face, not holding back, to the point of bleeding from his lip.

Luciana was shocked to see this. Her suspicions about Abel's relationship with Katie were evident, given the surrounding gossip. Plus, every time she saw Katie, Abel was always close behind. With just a man and a woman together almost all the time, there was no telling whether they had been intimate before.

But watching Abel punish himself like that cleared any doubts Luciana had. She grabbed Katie's arm, saying, "Stop him. He simply lacks sensitivity and understanding of how to behave."

With a frown, Katie declared, "Abel, you're fined three months' salary. Don't mess up like this again."

Abel acknowledged Katie's words, retreated to a corner, and silently cleaned the blood from his face.

After seeing Luciana off, Katie and Abel went to her own car.

The moment Katie sat down, Abel followed suit.

Katie's once gentle and poised manner vanished entirely, replaced by eyes filled with fury and contempt as she ordered, "Get down on your knees!"
