Chapter 396 Teach Them A Lesson (Part One) Katie had just arrived at the scene when Raegan announced herself to be Casey''s daughter.


    The expression on Katie''s face drastically changed. This unassuming Raegan was Casey Hayes'' daughter? How could it be? Even before the Inte was developed, Casey was already well- known in the upper-ss circle.


    For the people in the upper-ss circle, her name was a legend. Casey became even more famous when she embroidered incrediblyplex ancient paintings on her designs in just half a month.


    The exquisiteness of her embroidery


    works was unmatched. No one could surpass her.


    At a young age, Casey was already celebrated as a genius designer. She was so popr that even the royalties of other countries often invited her to customize designs for them. It could be said that this period marked the pinnacle of her career.


    But suddenly, Casey announced her retirement and disappeared from the public eye without any exnation.


    The entire world was shocked. People wondered why she suddenly gave up such a flourishing career. Many regretted losing such an excellent designer.


    For almost two decades, there was no news about Casey. No one had seen her, and her whereabouts were unknown to everyone. Some people said she had entered a monastery,


    while some said she had already passed away. However, these things couldn''t be confirmed, so they { remained rumors.


    Katie''s keen awareness of Casey stemmed from a little-known connection between Casey and her uncle, Davey Glyn.


    Raegan''s words caused an uproar in the press. Of course, all of them knew Casey and her legacy. Who wouldn''t be shocked when Raegan announced herself to be Casey''s daughter? The journalists felt they didn''te here for nothing. Their time was not wasted because they had gotten a sensational news story. The appearance of the daughter of Casey was such a huge scoop.


    Instantly, the journalists threw questions one after another.


    While listening to them, Katie''s eyes turned cold, and her lips paled. She still couldn''t believe it. Why did Raegan I have to be Casey''s daughter? The Hayes family, rooted in Berton, was formidable, rivaling the Glyn family, but gued by internal strife.


    Casey belonged to the main branch of the Hayes family, which fell into misfortune following her parents’ death in a car ident. Not long after, Casey disappeared without a trace.


    Therefore, instead of the main branch of the Hayes family, it was the side branch that was recognized by the public.


    And now that Raegan appeared, iming to be part of the Hayes family, she would likely reim her rightful inheritance.


    As the descendant of the main branch


    of the Hayes family, Raegan could not be underestimated, although her family was a little inferior to the Dixon { family.


    Realization dawned on Katie. No wonder Raegan said that the Glyn family was not the only rich family. It turned out Raegan was mocking her.


    At the thought of this, Katie clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails dug into the palms of her hands. Her eyes turned even colder. She looked at her assistant, hinting something.


    Her assistant immediately understood.


    She quickly turned to the woman who used Raegan of giarism and whispered something.


    Vicki Hampton, having been watching the scene quietly with Katie, couldn''t help asking, "Katie, do you know that woman?"


    Katie, regaining herposure, replied with a faint smile, "Yes. She also has some connection to you." Vicki frowned. "To me? How can that be? I don''t know her. What connection can she have to me?" Raegan, on stage, was dressed simply without wearing any makeup. Vicki, on the other hand, wore exquisite makeup and was meticulously dressed. But despite this, Raegan''s natural beauty still made her look more vibrant and youthful than Vicki.


    This made Vicki feel inexplicably hostile to Raegan.


    When Katie noticed this, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. An idea urred to her, so she said yfully, "She is acquainted with your beau, Jarrod. Since she and Jarrod know each other, doesn''t it mean she has a connection to you?"


    Vicki''s face immediately turned red when she heard Jarrod''s name. "What beau? You''re teasing me again." 4 Vicki could not deny her feelings for Jarrod because it was written all over her bashful face.


    Katie knew of Vicki''s fondness for Jarrod, though Jarrod''s affectionsy elsewhere. With Lauren no longer in y, she considered nurturing a new pawn for her grand schemes. She nced at Vicki, thinking Vicki was a suitable candidate.


    Katie remarked with a smirk, "The Hampton family is close to the Schultz family. With so many cooperated projects, it''s a sure thing that you and Jarrod..." Katie''s voice trailed off deliberately.


    She knew Vicki enjoyed hearing this.

    Vicki held Katie''s arm, smiled sweetly,


    and said, "Then your marriage with Mitchel is also a sure thing." Katie serenely basked in Vicki''s jests- To those oblivious, Katie was still Mitchel''s so-called fiancée. After all, she had put in effort to postpone the rification press conference.


    However, her leverage didn''t end there.


    Mitchel wanted to rify his rtionship with her to the public, but there was no way she could let that happen.


    Vicki, reveling in her own illusion, rested her head on Katie''s shoulder and said cheerfully, "Isn''t it great? Our husbands are good friends, and so are we. We can travel together to have a st." Katie, her acting instincts kicking in, didn''t say anything. Noticing Katie''s unusual silence, Vicki looked over and it was only then that she saw the tears


    that welled up in Katie''s eyes.


    Surprised, Vicki asked, "Katie, what''s wrong? Why are you crying?" Katie, as if frightened of being noticed, quickly wiped away her tears and muttered, "It''s nothing... Let''s go..." After saying this, Katie turned around and was about to leave. However, Vicki suddenly grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "What''s going on? If you don''t tell me, it means you don''t take me as a friend." "vicki, It''s not that I don''t take you as a friend. It''s just that..." Katie hesitated.


    She bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "You''d better not ask..." "No way! What if I can help you?" Vicki''s voice raised. "Did someone bully you? Tell me. I will deal with that person for you."
