Chapter 368 Crazy Katie Katie couldn't believe what she just heard. The words coming from Mitchel were ruthless. Trembling, she choked and pled, "Mitchel, but..." But before Katie could finish her words, Mitchel, with an emotionless voice, interrupted, "I don't want to hear any but! Katie, listen up. If the Glyn Group fails to come up with a solution for the present crises, then the PR team needs to be booted out of the company." "[..." Katie wanted to argue, but Mitchel interrupted her again, saying firmly, "That will be all." Then, not caring for what Katie had to say, Mitchel had cut off the call.
A little while later, Matteo came in and delivered the news that Reagan, having been escorted, had arrived home safe and sound. — Mitchel said nothing for a moment Finally, he raised his head and said, "I want you to probe Katie's father's condition. The moment you discover anything suspicious about his illness, inform me." Having seen through Katie, the firm trust that Mitchel previously had in her was now shattered. Now, every word that came out of her mouth sounded like lies to him.
If Katie's claim turned out to be true, then the whole situation could easily be diffused. After all, Katie's father was a long-time supporter of his faction.
Mitchel would give the Glyn family ample time to take care of the crises at
hand.
But, if Katie had lied to him, he wouldn't be merciful in the slightest.
He would unleash his full wrath upon her.
| Before long, Matteo was able to obtain Katie's father's test report.
According to the report, Katie's father had developed complications that led to him experiencing a shock which could lead him to become critically ill.
"I have also combed through every other document in the hospital that has anything to do with Mr. Glyn, and from the look of things, he is quite in a serious condition. And all the time he has been at the ICU, Miss Glyn has been by his side," Matteo reported.
Mitchel nodded and glanced at the report. It was an authentic one, which
meant there was no foul play anywhere.
Mitchel then looked at Matteo ard instructed, "Contact the best cardiovascular specialist in the country and see to it that they have a consultant with Mr. Glyn." “Will do," Matteo replied.
Just as Matteo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something else needed to report to Mitchel. Turning around, he said, "By the way, Mr.
Dixon, a fire occurred down at Velvet Alley, killing a woman. The police have released an identification notice based on her physical characteristics. And from the way the victim was described, I think she might be Miss Murray.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, I have not yet confirmed if it's her."
Mitchel had dumped Lauren into the Velvet Alley to teach the latter a lesson.
In line with Mitchel's orders, Matteo didn't seize 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 bought to book for drugging others. She'd end up in jail.
Mitchel had given Lauren two options.
Lauren preferred being tortured in Velvet Alley to being in jail.
Matteo felt no pity for Lauren whatsoever. She had brought a painful ending down upon herself.
Mitchel lowered his gaze slightly and simply said, "Go to her residence, gather her personal belongings, and see to it that you identify her."
At that moment, the image of Lauren's last look, which had been resentful, popped into Mitchel's mind. He mustn't let his guard down until the victim's DNA had been confirmed to be Lauren's.
Not that Mitchel was afraid for his safety. If he knew anything about Lauren, it was that instead of targeting him, she might go after Raegan instead.
Meanwhile, at the door of the ICU.
Katie stared at the phone in her hand as she squeezed it out of frustration.
How could Mitchel be so cold and ruthless? Didn't he have an iota of humanity in him? Katie closed her eyes for a moment and placed a hand on her forehead.
There wasn't much time left for her.
At that moment, Abel, Katie's | bodyguard, appeared.
Seeing him, Katie asked, "Has the medicine been taken care of?" | Abel nodded and whispered, "Yes, all taken care of. No one will be able to find out that the root cause of Mr.
Glyn's heart attack was his intake of the wrong medication." Hearing this, Katie smiled weakly and nodded. To induce complications in her father, she had earlier instructed Abel to give her father a medication that was in contradiction to what he had been prescribed by the doctor.
Of course, if there had been another way for Katie to achieve what she wanted, she wouldn't have carried out such d drastic measure,
All she needed was for her father to remain in a coma for at least another half month. That should be enough time for her to achieve her goals.
Though she knew that what she did would surely damage her father's physical functions, she wasn't that concerned. After all, her father was going to kick the bucket someday. And the sooner he died, the sooner she could take his place.
By harming her father's health, Katie had bought herself a meager half month. But she was confident that in that short space of time, she would be able to marry Mitchel.
Feeling displeased, Katie wanted to lighten up her mood. Pushing the door to the VIP lounge open, she gestured at Abel to follow her in, which he did.
Luxurious and beaming with splendor, the lounge was indeed high-end.
Katie walked up to a chair, sat on it, and studied Abel as a queen would study her subject. "Kneel and please me," she commanded imperiously.
Hearing this, Abel's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't blink. He walked up to Katie and neatly prostrated himself.
At this moment, he could feel his spirits lighting up. He had never felt so alive.
Abel had been born and brought up on the Dark Island, and Katie's father had parted with a huge sum of money to secure Abel, assigning him as Katie's protector.
Katie's father knew the loyalty of the Dark Island's assassins was deep
rooted. Their loyalty to their master was for a lifetime.
However, Katie's father couldn't have foreseen that the bodyguard he personally selected for Katie would be the one to give him lethal medication.
He had underestimated the degree of how loyal the Dark Island's assassins were.
Whenever a mission was delivered, no matter how farfetched it might be, even if it was to carry out patricide, the Dark Island's assassins would do so in a jiffy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, Abel was Katie's most despicable pawn in this life, the tool she used to achieve her goals. Abel was tasked with handling all the dirty work that couldn't see the light of day.
For 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 shadow prostrated, his head bowed, consistently pleasing Katie...
Afterward, Katie, her body still tingling from what Abel had done to her, was breathing heavily. She sat up lazily and said, "Next time, don't go as hard to avoid any accident." She was still a virgin and wanted to remain that way, at least for now. Abel was too rough just now.
Abel was still by her side simply because of how well he had served her all these years. If not, she would have replaced him long ago.
Flushed and sounding weary, Katie inquired, "How is Lauren doing?"
"She's still alive and is being watched But, from what I've observed, she seems to be ambitionless. In fact, she hardly ever leaves where she i," Abel replied.
Katie shook her head slightly, anger boiling inside of her. Lauren was the exact definition of a useless individual! How could Lauren have broken down just because she encountered this setback? "Go and knock some senses into that skull of hers," Katie said through gritted teeth.
Her initial plan was to avoid doing anything risky. But, Mitchel's unforgiven words earlier had deeply wounded her. After she informed him of her father's illness, he was unfazed and even spewed more heartless words
Katie wrongly shifted all the blame on Mitchel's damn ex-wife who should have left this world long ago As Katie thought of this, a maliciou smile appeared on her face. She had to finish that woman.
"As you wish," Abel replied as he bowed his head, not daring to meet Katie's gaze.
But, his aroused reaction didn't go unnoticed by Katie. Unable to ignore it, she said with a slight frown on her face, "Handle it yourself." Abel nodded, turned around, and headed out.
In the shed.
Just as Abel approached it, he heard some suggestive sounds
When he entered, he saw Lauren lying down on the floor like a log of wood Near Lauren, there was a dark and dirty man with his pants pulled down At first glance, it was clear that he was a rough individual.
That dirty man angrily threw a blanket on Lauren's face and bellowed, "Smell that abomination yourself. You are not worthy to even live in a pigsty!" The dirty man paused for a moment and began to pull up his pants before continuing, "You stink like a rotten corpse. If only I could find another woman, I wouldn't come within a hundred feet of you! You should try and find out what the hell is wrong with you!" The dirty man shook his head and began to limp backwards as he
muttered, "You damn bitch. Every single square inch of your body is disgusting. I can't believe how disgusting you are. You are nothing more than a ghost..." Hearing this, Lauren, slightly trembling, turned around to face the dirty man. Hearing Lauren's movements, the dirty man turned back and yelled, "Don't you dare raise that ugly face of yours, you rotten woman! Do you want to scare me to death?"
