Just as Matteo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something else that he had to report to Mitchel. Turning around, he said, "By the way, Mr. Dixon, there was a fire in Velvet Alley and a woman died. The police have issued an identification notice based on his physical characteristics. And from the way the victim was described, I think it could be Miss Murray. However, I have not yet confirmed if it is her.

Mitchel had thrown Lauren into Velvet Alley to teach the latter a lesson.

Following Mitchel's orders, Matteo did not confiscate Lauren's phone.

That gave Lauren the freedom to contact the police if she didn't want to be harmed. But then, if she contacted the police, she would be booked for drugging others. I would end up in jail.

Mitchel had given Lauren two options. Lauren preferred being tortured in Velvet Alley to being in jail.

Matteo had no pity for Lauren. She had brought herself a painful end.

Mitchel lowered his gaze slightly and simply said, "Go to her residence, collect her personal belongings, and take care of identifying her."

At that moment, the image of Lauren's last look, which had been one of resentment, appeared in Mitchel's mind. He was not to let his guard down until it was confirmed that the victim's DNA was Lauren's.

It's not that Mitchel feared for his safety. If he knew anything about Lauren, it was that instead of going after him, she could go after Raegan.

Meanwhile, at the door of the ICU.

Katie stared at the phone in her hand as she clenched it in frustration. How could Mitchel be so cold and ruthless? Didn't he have even a shred of humanity?

Katie closed her eyes for a moment and put a hand to her forehead.

He didn't have much time left.

At that moment Abel, Katie's bodyguard, appeared.

Seeing him, Katie asked, "Have you taken care of the medicine?"

Abel nodded and whispered: “Yes, everything is settled. "No one will be able to find out that the cause of Mr. Glyn's heart attack was taking the wrong medication."

Hearing this, Katie smiled weakly and nodded. To induce complications in his father, he had earlier ordered Abel to give him medication that contradicted what the doctor had prescribed.

Of course, if Katie had had another way to get what she wanted, she wouldn't have taken such a drastic measure.

All he needed was for his father to remain in a coma for at least half a month longer. That would be enough time to achieve your goals.

Although she knew that what she had done would surely harm her father's physical functions, she was not that worried. After all, his father was going to kick the bucket one day. And the sooner he died, the sooner she could take his place.

By damaging her father's health, Katie had bought herself half a month. But he was confident that in that short space of time he would be able to marry Mitchel.

Feeling upset, Katie wanted to lighten her mood. She pushed open the door to the VIP room and gestured for Abel to follow her.

Luxurious and resplendent with splendor, the room was truly high-end.

Katie walked over to a chair, sat on it, and studied Abel as a queen would study her subject. “Kneel down and please me,” he commanded imperiously.

Hearing this, Abel's eyes moved slightly, but he did not blink. He approached Katie and prostrated himself neatly.

At that moment, he felt his spirit light up. He had never felt so alive.

Abel had been born and raised on the Dark Isle, and Katie's father had shelled out an enormous sum of money to secure Abel, assigning him as Katie's protector.

Katie's father knew that the loyalty of the Dark Island assassins ran deep. His loyalty to his master was for life.

However, Katie's father could not foresee that the bodyguard he had personally selected for Katie would be the one to administer the lethal medication. He had underestimated the degree of loyalty of the Dark Island assassins.

Whenever they were given a mission, no matter how crazy, even if it involved carrying out a patricide, the assassins of the Dark Island did it in a flash.

Therefore, Abel was Katie's most despicable pawn in this life, the tool she used to achieve her goals. Abel took care of all the dirty work that couldn't see the light of day.

Because Katie knew that Abel would never betray her, even if Abel was on the verge of death.

In the flickering light on the wall, a prostrate shadow, with its head bowed, constantly pleased Katie…

Afterwards, Katie, her body still tingling from what Abel had done to her, was breathing heavily. He sat down lazily and said, “Next time, don't go so hard to avoid any accidents.”

I was still a virgin and I wanted to stay that way, at least for now. Abel was too abrupt at the moment.

Abel was still by his side simply because of how well he had served him all these years. Otherwise, she would have replaced him a long time ago.

Blushing and sounding tired, Katie asked, "How's Lauren?"

«She is still alive and they are watching her. But from what I've observed, he seems to lack ambition. In fact, he almost never leaves where he is,” Abel responded.

Katie shook her head slightly, anger bubbling inside her. Lauren was the exact definition of a useless individual! How could Lauren have broken down just because she encountered this setback?

“Go and make him see reason,” Katie said through gritted teeth.

His initial plan was to avoid doing anything risky. But Mitchel's unforgiving words had hurt her deeply. After she informed him of his father's illness, he was unfazed and even blurted out more merciless words.

Katie wrongly shifted all the blame onto Mitchel's damn ex-wife, who should have left this world a long time ago.

As Katie thought about this, a wicked smile appeared on her face.

I had to put an end to that woman.

"As you wish," Abel replied as he tilted his head, not daring to meet Katie's gaze.

But, his excited reaction did not go unnoticed by Katie. Unable to ignore it, he said with a slight frown, “Handle it yourself.”
