Despite that, Katie put on a performance showing unconditional support and understanding of Mitchel's decline to marry her. He stated that marriage was not in his plans and that he had no intention of tying the knot with Mitchel. However, he only said those things to let her guard down.

Katie dedicated herself to her work and even managed to carry out several vital projects for the Dixon Group, increasing profits significantly. In recognition of her achievements, she was promoted to vice president of the Dixon Group.

Thereafter, Mitchel stopped mentioning the matter entirely, but his actions conveyed his unwavering stance: marriage to Katie was off the table.

The Dixon family's collective silence led the media to speculate that Katie was destined to become Mitchel's wife. However, most attributed the delay to Mitchel's decline.

Katie's long involvement in charity work and her kind and gentle public image endeared her to many. However, few took into account the substantial benefits that the Glyn family had obtained from this situation.

They now held a prominent position in Ardlens, despite coming from another city, and all thanks to Mitchel.

Katie relied on public opinion and pressure from elders to maintain an impeccable image. This strategy allowed him to reap benefits and subtly instill a sense of guilt in Mitchel.

Katie didn't rush to win Mitchel's heart, knowing she had all the time in the world. Whether he married or not, she was determined to be the only woman by his side.

But with Raegan's sudden return, Katie began to feel growing unease. Despite the turmoil he felt inside, he maintained his composure and skillfully hid his emotions. His ability to hide his feelings had allowed him to remain silent at Mitchel's side for so long.

With a calm demeanor and apparent concern, Katie asked: “Mitchel, how is your treatment in Swynborough going? Is your headache still bothering you?

“Okay,” Mitchel responded tersely, showing little enthusiasm for the conversation.

Following Raegan's disappearance since the car incident, Mitchel had often suffered from insomnia. On one occasion, he had gone an entire week without sleeping.

Concerned about his health, Luciana forced Mitchel to seek medical attention. Over time, he stabilized his sleeping patterns with medication, but in doing so he developed neuralgia.

Each time this condition flared up, Mitchel could not work, and there seemed to be no medication for this illness. It had to resort to specialized interventions in foreign research institutes.

Fortunately, the disease only recurred once a year. This time, however, it came right after he divorced Raegan.

The fact that his illness had reappeared four months earlier than before was a worrying sign, but Mitchel didn't think much of it.

At that moment, all his attention was consumed by Raegan. If I hadn't had an important meeting with a client later, I would have looked for it as soon as I landed. He never thought he would find her like this.

During the car ride back, Mitchel listened intently as Matteo updated him on Raegan's life. Apparently her daily routine consisted mainly of having dinner with Stefan. In fact, they had had dinner together three times in a single week. After dinner, they walked through the park like a couple deeply in love.

Thinking about how Raegan had sweetly pronounced Stefan's name, Mitchel couldn't help but feel an intense pang of jealousy.

Noticing his distracted state, Katie became concerned and decided to divert the conversation to work. "With Marcus's help, I am sure we will get the tender for the energy project."

After a month-long trip abroad, Katie managed to persuade Marcus Morgan and secured his help. He did it to carve out a place for the Dixon family in the burgeoning new energy industry.

To others, it might have seemed like it exclusively benefited the Dixon family, but that was far from the truth.

The size of the new energy project was too large for the Glyn family to manage on their own. However, by collaborating with the Dixon Group, the Glyn family could obtain significant benefits. Katie had carefully weighed these factors.

Although the task was undeniably challenging, it had the potential to solidify her position as Mitchel's future wife and provide her with considerable benefits. Of course, I was not going to let this valuable opportunity slip away.

Furthermore, it was reasonable to assume that her dedication to helping the Dixon family would be perceived as a desire to marry Mitchel.

But something unexpected happened.

Katie's eyes darkened. He never expected that upon returning from his month-long trip abroad, he would encounter the miraculous return of Raegan.

But so what? Katie had carefully orchestrated her grand plan for five years. He wasn't going to let Raegan's reappearance derail him.

As Mitchel and Katie approached the chamber entrance, Mitchel's hand went towards his phone, as if he were about to give instructions to his subordinates.

After five years of shared experiences, Katie completely understood Mitchel's behavior. I knew he was worried about Raegan.

In the lead, Katie uttered with a touch of grace: “Looks like we're a little late. Mitchel, Marcus takes center stage among our guests. Shall we proceed to enter?

Mitchel glanced briefly in his direction, but remained reticent.

Feeling a little guilty, Katie bowed her head as she continued, “Your decision to consult Marcus on this occasion was not a coincidence.

He has been impatiently awaiting your arrival for several days.

However, I have endeavored to calm their anxieties as best I could.

At that precise moment, the waiter suddenly opened the door of the chamber, and Mitchel had to give up calling on the phone and take a measured step inside.

Meanwhile, in another chamber, Raegan walked in and quickly saw that Cary Blake, the CEO of Pinkorps Media, was already present.

Raegan felt embarrassed and crouched slightly. «Cary, I sincerely apologize. I've encountered a lot of traffic on the way here.

Before Cary could respond, a woman next to him chimed in, her tone high and recognizable: “My, my, look who is gracing us with their presence. She is the CEO of Crescent. "We have all been patiently awaiting his arrival."
