Alexis fell to the floor, groaning in pain.
“Did you catch that?” Alexis growled at his guard, who had failed to act.
Alexis’ bodyguard nodded, quickly concealing his phone.
Gloating, Alexis boasted, “How dare you lay a hand on your father, you ungrateful child? I’ll let everyone know what a disloyal son the prestigious leader of the Dixon Group is!”
Everyone around was left speechless. They were shocked by Alexis’ audacity.
Right then, Beuford suggested, “Mr. Mitchel Dixon, may I speak with Mr. Alexis Dixon in private?”
Mitchel agreed, understanding Beuford’s wish to deal with family issues away from public eyes. With Alexis acting irrationally, it was best to avoid giving onlookers more to gossip about the Dixon family.
Mitchel dismissed everyone, promising to update everyone once the family matter was sorted out.
As the shareholders left, the vibe in the air was kind of all over the place. Some were feeling pretty relieved about being smart ahead of time, while others were regretting sticking with the wrong team.
Today, everyone got to see Mitchel’s sharpness and decisiveness. Any of Alexis’ supporters in the company would undoubtedly face the consequences. It belatedly dawned on them that Mitchel’s quietness was all part of a bigger plan in the game.
Alexis’ bodyguards was dismissed, leaving Alexis powerless. Henley was also escorted out.

Mitchel was the last one to exit the room.
Breaking the silence, Henley asked, “What could they be talking about?”
Mitchel, composed and distant, showed no interest to chat.
“Do you really think so little of me, Mitchel?” Henley asked half-jokingly, “Is it because your mother is seen as more ‘honorable’ than mine?”
Mitchel turned to face Henley, speaking with calm authority. “It’s not about being born better or worse than anyone else. It’s our actions and intentions. Some people are always up to no good.”
Henley’s expression shifted, his hands clenched.
Mitchel added, “And save your drama. I’m not interested in entertaining it.”
Henley couldn’t stand Mitchel’s distant and arrogant attitude like he owned the world. Plus, to him, Mitchel stole away the only kindness and warmth he had ever received.
Even though Henley was plotting something deep, he feigned innocence, saying, “Why do you think I’m acting? We’re brothers, and nothing can change that, no matter how much you deny it.”
Mitchel seemed indifferent, as if Henley was invisible to him.
Still, Henley pressed on, “I’ve heard Miss Glyn is pregnant. Looks like you’ll have an heir soon, enjoying life with two women. You must be feeling pretty fortunate. How did you manage to win over Raegan? Could you give me some advice on winning the heart of the lady of my dreams?”
Henley’s question seemed genuine, but his voice was filled with sarcasm, his mention of Raegan deliberate.
