Love Unbreakable

Chapter 473

Raegan's sarcastic words were a ploy to shame Katie for getting pregnant before marriage.

Spasms of anger rushed through Katie, but dissipated immediately. She had thought she could easily manipulate Raegan judging by the latter's soft demeanor.

But to Katie's surprise, Raegan was sharp enough to come up with such a reply.

Katie was fuming with indignation. If only Raegan knew who was responsible for her pregnancy, would Raegan have reasons to mock her still? She composed herself quickly. Gently caressing her belly, she said, "This child belongs to Mitchel."

"Oh? Has he acknowledged it?" Raegan replied with a wry smile.

Raegan's response swept Katie off her feet. Such composure from Raegan was completely unexpected. "And what is that supposed to mean?" Katie frowned.

Raegan was mad at Mitchel for hiding Katie's pregnancy from her, but she wasn't dumb. Mitchel couldn't possibly like Katle. He would have taken Katie in to live with him if he did. Why did he wait for her return to begin a relationship with Katie? It was likely Katie maneuvered her way to get this child. And whether Katie's child was really Mitchel's was still up for debate.

"Miss Glyn, you held a press conference where you made it clear that there was no personal relationship with Mitchel aside work. Have you done a paternity test? How sure are you that Mitchel is responsible? Raegan calmly said.

Katie's face turned red with anger at the barrage of questions thrown at her. She clenched her fist in fury, trying to contain her anger. Her intention was to belittle Raegan, but the table seemed to have turned. How infuriating!

Onlookers who had been attracted by their conversation began whispering amongst themselves. It was not just a juicy story about pregnancy out of wedlock. It was a scandal.

Luciana became defensive of Katie. She angrily pointed her index finger at Raegan's face. "Katie is my son's fiancee and had been accepted by the Dixon family. The child in her womb belongs to Dixon family. Wedding arrangements have been made. Tell me, who are you to meddle in our family affairs?

Raegan had become completely indifferent to Luciana. She had completely erased every ounce of affection she once had for Luciana after Luciana slapped her the last time they met.

"Had your 'daughter-in-law not been in my way, would I be having this conversation? Raegan retorted with her eyebrows raised. She scoffed. "She started it first. Normally, I don't interfere in people's 'family affairs!"

Raegan made her stance clear. She wouldn't involve herself in people's lives unless they provoked her first. If anyone chose to annoy her, she certainly wouldn't hesitate to face the person head on.

Luciana, infuriated, tried to slap Raegan. However, her hand was caught while it was still in the air.

With a stern look, Raegan warned, "Mrs. Dixon, I am not someone you could slap at will. The next time you try this, I'll be sure to give you the dose of disrespect you deserve."

Luciana tried to free her hand, but Raegan's grip was firm. She forcefully dropped it and added, "I'll make sure to return the slap the same way it came. Try me!"

Luciana was momentarily taken aback by Raegan's ice-cold demeanor. Raegan had grown so much confidence since their last encounter five years ago. Raegan was nothing close to the country bumpkin she had been familiar with, now exuding a presence reminiscent of Luciana's own in her younger days.

Luciana's gaze darkened as she reflected on the past. feeling her thoughts had become too extreme nowadays. She used to be an easy-going person.

Seeing Luciana didn't respond to Raegan's words, Katie became frustrated. She dramatically held Luciana's hand and leaned forward. "Luciana! Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine," Luciana answered as she shook her head.

Kattie said tearfully in concern, "Luciana, please don't get worked up with her, at least for my sake. Remember what Mr. Gomez said."

At Katie's words, Luciana's eyes bulged in shock. Yes! Mr. Gomez had said Raegan would bring life-threatening danger to Mitchel. It seemed the speculations had been eerily accurate. Mitchel had several terrible near-death experiences which were all linked to Raegan. She couldn't afford to permit anything to happen to Mitchel anymore!

Luciana threw herself to the ground, screaming at the top of her voice, "She hit me! Oh! She hit me!"

Raegan was puzzled by Luciana's immature antics.

Luciana continued amid sobs, "All I ever did was ask you to stay away from my son. Do you want to kill me? How could you push me to the ground?"

Raegan was shocked by Luciana's blatant lies! Not minding her stature in the society, Luciana seemed to have abandoned all semblance of dignity.

Katie, on the other hand, had a mask and bangs on. This made it difficult for people to recognize her. That way, people focused their gaze at Luciana and Raegan.

Nobody recognized Luciana as a wealthy matron because of her lack of appearance in social activities.

However, someone noticed Raegan and took a picture of her at the scene. Raegan had been to a few press conferences.

Luciana carried on with her lies, "Why do you meddle in my son's life? Why are you causing my daughter-in-law distress? Are you even human?"

Oblivious to the truth, onlookers pitied Luciana and supported her while blaming Raegan. "Why would a proper young woman choose to be a home wrecker?"

*Seducing a married man, challenging his wife and assaulting his mother? That is actually appalling!"

"Young lady, engaging in adultery is nothing to be proud about. It won't end well for you."

"To think that she has a decent job, what else does she want? Is she not the owner of Crescent?"

"Yes! She's the one. She even won an award and claimed to make her mom proud. Yet, she wants to kill someone else's mother."

"Go ahead! Record this so the world can see it. There might be more to this story!"

The agitated crowd had gathered, including some staff from the store. They all cursed angrily.

Raegan tried to defend herself. "I'm not a mistress. All she said are lies. Please don't spread rumours."

Unfortunately, Raegan's voice was drowned by the noisy crowd. No one paid attention to her. They judged her as though they were more righteous.

Some even tried to push Raegan as they shouted angrily.

Raegan struggled to maintain her balance, barely standing upright.

Katie happily watched the bedraggled look on Raegan's face, triumphantly smirking her lips. How dared Raegan challenge her?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Right then, a commanding voice thundered from the back of the crowd. "Back off!"

Victor swept violently through the crowd and came to Raegan's defense. Victor hid her safely behind him.

Victor had been waiting downstairs for Raegan. She came to check out what had delayed Raegan and found that scene on arrival.

Victor was maddened when a man gave Raegan an unwelcomed push.

Claiming justice at that point was a facade. The man clearly had bad intentions toward Raegan.

Victor forcefully twisted the man's wrist, and the man fell to the ground, writhing in pain. His cries restored silence to the atmosphere.

Raegan was utterly distressed. Her hair was disheveled, and even had a button removed from her cloth.

Katie decided to let the situation stop here, not wanting to spark Mitchel's displeasure. She helped Luciana up. "Luciana, let her go. I'm fine. Don't get worked up over me."

Katie tried to shift the blame to Luciana, knowing that Mitchel wouldn't find fault with her.

Luciana was so eager to leave. After all, show time was over. Stirring Mitchel to anger would do no good. She had better end it there and avoid more troubles.

Just as Luciana and Katie attempted to leave, they heard a loud voice.

"Stop!" Raegan shouted coldly at them, "Who said you could leave?"
