Looking haggard and sorrowful, Alexis began, “Forgive me, everyone. I’ve been unwell recently and can only speak briefly. As many of you are aware, Mitchel was my most exceptional son, and I still find it difficult to accept his passing…”
Alexis paused to wipe away tears, his palpable sorrow evoking empathy from the audience.
His voice catching, he continued, “But now that the harsh reality has settled in, I believe it’s time to confront the situation. Despite my son’s passing, there is a hopeful development. Miss Katie Glyn is expecting his child. When the child is born, Miss Katie Glyn will officially assume the role of CEO of the Glyn Group, and we anticipate closer cooperation between our families moving forward.”
Katie, adorned in a simple black Chanel gown and a pearl hat, embodying the sorrow of a widow, she gently wiped her tears as the camera shifted toward her.
Alexis continued, “To ensure the Dixon Group’s seamless operation, the board decided yesterday that my younger son, Henley Dixon, will temporarily assume the role of CEO. With extensive experience in senior positions at top financial institutions on Wall Street, he is equally qualified. Inspired by his older brother, Henley is poised to lead the Dixon Group to new heights and uphold its legacy.”
Pride gleamed in Alexis’ eyes as he spoke.
Confusion rippled through the attendees, transforming the press conference into what seemed like a commendation ceremony for Henley.
Alexis stifled a smirk with a slight cough before announcing, “Now, please welcome my son, Henley, to share a few words.”
Henley’s ascent, dressed in a tailored suit, showcased his striking and sophisticated presence.
Just as Henley was about to step onto the stage, a sudden interruption shattered the quiet atmosphere. “Wait!”

ALL heads turned toward the official entrance, where Raegan, clad in a crisp white blouse and black trousers, entered with flawless makeup and a vibrant demeanor.
Alexis’ expression shifted uncomfortably as he reprimanded, “What are the security staff doing? Allowing any individuals to enter in this manner?”
As security staff moved in to escort Raegan out, they were obstructed by a team of hefty bodyguards in sunglasses, rendering the security staff overpowered.
Fuming, Alexis exclaimed, “What is this? Intentional disruption at the Dixon Group? Call the police!”
“Wait a moment!” Matteo stepped forward from the rear of the bodyguards. “Miss Foster is here to represent Mr. Mitchel Dixon.”

This declaration stirred murmurs within the crowd. Wasn’t Mitchel deceased? How could there still be a spokesperson for him?
Matteo signaled for Raegan to step forward onto the stage. With poise, Raegan addressed the gathering, “Good morning, everyone. Today, I am here to announce that the news of Mitchel Dixon’s demise, as declared by Mr. Alexis Dixon, is untrue!”
Instantly, the room’s atmosphere charged with tension, reporters startled by this unexpected turn.
“You’re lying! You…” Alexis began to launch an insult but checked himself in the presence of the media. “You’re spreading falsehoods.
I wished to maintain my son’s dignity, but since you’re spreading rumors, I will reveal the truth to everyone.
The large screen was prepared. It flickered to life, showing the last few seconds of footage of Mitchel driving, recorded by a _ rear security vehicle.

Raegan’s initial viewing of the footage gripped her heart, constricting her breath.
