Love Unbreakable

Chapter 483

After Katie finished her piece, she stood there full of pride, clearly expecting Raegan to inquire about her engagement.

But Raegan's reaction was anything but curious. She said, "Alright, Miss Glyn, feel free to let me know what you need." Katie was surprised by Raegan's disinterest. How could Raegan not want to know more?

This indifference made it tough for Katie to segue into the decision the board made about Mitchel

Irritated, Katie challenged Raegan, "Why the hurry? Do you think I can't cover the cost?

Raegan offered a smile. "I have other clients waiting. We're in the business of tailoring dresses, not small talk. If you are looking for a chat, maybe a café would be better."

Usually, Raegan wasn't this blunt with her clients, but Katie had cornered her more than once, which made pleasantries unnecessary.

Katie, truth be told, wasn't here to place an order. The thought of wearing something customized by Raegan was unbearable.

"I said I'm here to place an order!" Katie announced.

Raegan quirked an eyebrow. "Custom orders do start with a deposit."

"How much does it cost?" Katie inquired.

'Ten percent."

Without hesitation, Katie paid with her card and stated, "Please deliver the dress to the Dixon Group for signing once it's ready. The remaining payment will come from the Dixon Group's accounts."

She doubted Raegan could keep her composure upon hearing this.

However, Raegan responded with a smile, "Of course, Miss Glyn." She showed no sign of displeasure.

Katie couldn't hold back any longer and steered the conversation. "Miss Foster, were you aware the Dixon Group went through a significant staff change today?

Looking up, Raegan asked, "Miss Glyn, do you have a preference for white or red?"

Katie was visibly upset, her teeth gritted. That little bitch didn't give an answer! "It doesn't matter. Prepare both. I've already paid, so I'll decide later."

Raegan collected all the necessary details and stood up, saying slowly, "I'll get the design sketches over to you in a week or so. Just a heads-up, we're open to making changes to the designs, but we can't take them back once they're done, and the deposit won't be returned."

It was a fair policy. After all, sometimes the sketches alone were worth more than the dress itself. Plus, as long as everyone agreed to it upfront, there wouldn't be any issues.

When Raegan started to walk away, Katie suddenly got up and exclaimed, "Wait, don't leave!"

Raegan stopped and turned around, confused. "Is there anything else you need, Miss Glyn?"

Katie stood tall and announced proudly, "I get it. You're trying to play it cool. I'm getting married to Mitchel!"

Raegan asked, "Ever hear about 'the boy who cried wolf"?"

This comment made Katie scowl. Raegan was mocking her for lying!

Katie pressed her lips together, slightly irritated. "Mitchel's been kicked out. He won't remain as the CEO of the Dixon Group. Did you catch that?"

Raegan didn't say a word.

"The investigation revealed he acted against the Dixon Group's interests, and his decision to drop the Eastern Garden project was all because of personal issues. The board was unanimous in firing him. Katie looked straight at Raegan, determination in her eyes. "This time, I'm the only one who can save him."

Katie was assertive. Even though Henley often played fast and loose with the truth, this time he hadn't lied to her. Plus, Luciana had promised to convince Mitchel to marry her. Luciana was determined not to stand idly by while Mitchel was defeated and taken down by Henley, that illegitimate son.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Miss Glyn, I once thought you were quite intelligent." Raegan laughed softly. "Did Henley suggest the only way out for Mitchel is to marry you, making the whole Eastern Garden issue seem like a big misunderstanding?"

"How did you know that?" Katie eyed Raegan with suspicion.

Raegan, with her arms folded, leaned back casually and said, "And did he mention that you should then invest in the Dixon Group stocks? That way, there'd be no conflicts of interest in your relationship, and Mitchel's problem would just sort itself out."

"You've been spying on me, haven't you?" Katie's expression turned serious, wondering if Raegan had bugged her. The message wasn't the same word for word, but it meant pretty much the same thing.

Raegan found it pointless to explain herself and laughed softly, shaking her head. "Miss Glyn, you might as well give up. Mitchel will never go for your plan."

Katie looked visibly upset, retorting, "You're just envious. He and I will make an unbeatable team, a powerhouse couple. My support will be invaluable to his career. Why on earth will Mitchel refuse?"

Raegan twirled a strand of her hair, replying with ease, "Because Mitchel isn't foolish enough to walk into such an obvious trap."

Over the years, Raegan gained a wealth of knowledge while her father dealt in international trade, aiming to shield her from being exploited due to her naivety.

The international trade world, with its involvement of numerous countries, turned out to be far more cutthroat and deceitful than its domestic counterpart.

Henley's suggestion wasn't meant to benefit Katie. By proposing this idea, It was clear that Henley lacked the ability to take over the Dixon Group on his own. If Mitchel agreed to marry Katie, it would essentially validate the accusations, giving Henley the perfect opportunity to take advantage when the moment was right and take over in one clean sweep

Katie was being manipulated, totally oblivious to it. It seems that obsession could blind even the most detail- oriented person like Katie.

Katie's frustration was palpable, her fingers pressing into her palm and her teeth gritted as she demanded, "What exactly are you trying to say? Make it clear!"

Raegan just smirked. "Some dreams remain dreams. But if there's ever a wedding, do send an invite to flaunt it." Raegan didn't want to alert Henley with what she had figured out from Katie's reaction.

"Miss Glyn, take care. I won't walk you out." Raegan smiled before turning around.

Katie looked at Raegan sharply. "Why do you think Mitchel won't marry me? What makes you so sure?

From Katie's perspective, Mitchel had no other choice.

Raegan, on her way to the door, stopped and offered a chuckle. "My confidence comes from him. He told me to trust him."

Mitchel had asked Raegan to have confidence in him.

Raegan, who wasn't well-versed in business matters, could see through Henley's schemes. Surely, Mitchel had known about it and made preparations beforehand. All Raegan had to do was trust his judgment.

Watching Raegan leave, Katie stamped her foot in frustration and called Luciana to vent.

Luciana comforted her, "Katie, in my eyes, you're already my daughter-in-law. Don't worry. I'll talk to Mitchel."

Feeling a bit better, Katie said, "Thanks, Luciana."

"Why thank me? You're carrying Mitchel's baby. If Mitchel dares to deny you, he'll have me to answer to!" Luciana said, seemingly on Katie's side.

Katie felt reassured by Luciana's growing support, hanging on to every word she said, and silently thanked Mr. Gomez, the hypnotist she had arranged for this turnaround.

Luciana went on, "But Katie, Mitchel has always denied being the father of your baby. When did you two become involved? Can you tell me about it?"
