Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 420

«Give me three days. I'll talk to my father. You are right. “I have to act professionally and properly conclude this matter,” Katie vowed.

At that moment, Mitchel fell silent. He thought he could last the next three days.

For Mitchel, it would be ideal if Katie had accepted his words. He certainly didn't want rumors spreading that the Glyn and Dixon families didn't get along. After all, there were several projects underway and any such rumor could lead to serious problems.

«I'll let you rest, then. "Now I'm leaving." Katie forced a smile, grabbed her bag and headed for the door.

"Wait." Mitchel's voice stopped her in her tracks, deep and sudden.

"Yeah?" Katie stopped, curiosity lighting her eyes.

Mitchel coldly pointed to the thermal pot at the end of the bed. "Take it away."

Katie's face drained of color. He could no longer maintain his composure. Bowing his head slightly, he began to cry. "Because? Why are you so cold to me?

His hands clenched into fists. Anger and pain filled his heart. For the past five years, he had been by her side without fail, offering her unconditional support.

In the end, Mitchel didn't even dare to eat the soup she had prepared. She had invested time and effort in preparing that nutritious soup. However, he preferred soup made by a nurse to his own.

Katie directed all her anger at Raegan, who had miraculously returned. What was the appeal of a widow like Raegan, who had had a child with another man? Why couldn't Mitchel get rid of Raegan? For Katie, Raegan was just pretty with tricks to seduce men.

Katie had her hands balled into fists and her head bowed. His pain was evident to anyone who looked. But what they couldn't see was how his heart was twisted with hatred at that moment.

Mitchel, with a face that showed no emotion, said, "If I had known your true feelings sooner, our families would never have entered this society."

Katie's face stiffened for a moment and, with tears in her eyes, she replied, "Are you kidding me? Isn't the deep bond between our families the basis of our partnership?

He had always believed that the collaboration between their families was a sign of Mitchel's willingness to reach an agreement. That same collaboration was what had made her endure in silence for five years, waiting for him.

Mitchel was losing patience with the crying Katie. His patience was reserved solely for matters related to Raegan.

Looking up, Mitchel looked at Katie blankly and said with a chill in his voice, “Katie, working with your family or another capable company makes no difference to the Dixon Group. Your family does not receive any special treatment. In other words, the work can be yours or someone else's. Understood?"

His words, sharp and unforgiving, felt like a slap to Katie's face.

However, his harshness was not due to disdain or anything personal. He had simply always been indifferent when it came to women, Raegan being the only exception. No other woman could awaken his feelings.

Ignoring Katie's reaction, Mitchel continued in a firm tone: "It's clear that you are no longer fit to be vice president of the Dixon Group. Make the transfer within a week. "You have to resign."

Katie felt as if the world around her had gone dark and her mind was completely blank. In an instant, it was as if I had lost everything. Her hopes, her dreams, and her enduring love had been shattered by that merciless man.

Frozen, she shook her head and shed her tears. «Mitchel, I can't believe it! How can you be so ruthless to me? I've been with you for five years, by your side. Don't I deserve an explanation?

“Have we ever really been together?” Mitchel's words made Katie's face lose all color. «Just because you visit me with my mother, do office work and share a car with me for business activities does not mean we are intimate. If that were the case, I would owe Matteo an explanation, since he has been by my side for a decade, right?

His reasoning immediately shattered Katie's illusions. Indeed, it was all in his head.

In Mitchel's opinion, Katie was nothing more than an assistant attached to him in the midst of his business activities. However, Katie had fooled herself into believing she was vital to him. His obsession with this notion grew. He believed himself indispensable to him. But it had never really been anything special to him.

Mitchel looked at the clock and feared Raegan would get the wrong idea if Katie delayed any longer. He had no desire to continue the conversation. In a cold tone, he said, “You can go now.”

The self-esteem that Katie had held on to for so long felt crushed. Suddenly, his face turned white and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Clutching the thermos tightly, Katie ran out of Mitchel's living room, tears streaming down her face as she ran, nearly colliding with Raegan, who was carrying soup.

Raegan managed to avoid Katie just in time, but the soup spilled on the floor, scalding her feet.

“Are you blind?” Katie snapped at Raegan, her eyes red and teary.

She stormed off, but Raegan stopped her in her tracks.

Facing Katie without a hint of fear, Raegan demanded, "Apologize."

Despite being to blame for the confrontation, Katie refused to apologize to Raegan, who was under the guise of medical attire.

With all the anger and sadness simmering in her heart, Katie decided to lash out at Raegan, who she assumed was a nurse.

Furious, Katie dropped her facade and snapped, "Who do you think you are?"

In a fit of rage, Katie raised her hand to hit Raegan.

But before his hand could connect, someone firmly grabbed his wrist.

Looking up, he met Mitchel's stern gaze.

“Bang!” Suddenly, Katie fell to the ground.

Katie looked at Mitchel in disbelief, unable to understand why he would treat her like that just to defend a nurse.

Mitchel barely looked at her, his attention fixed on Raegan's slightly reddened fingers, his gaze filled with concern. «Are you okay?

Have you been burned?

Mitchel had never spoken to Katie so warmly, nor looked at her so kindly.
