Hector seemed hesitant to leave. My assistant can manage that. Ill stay here and support you in whatever you plan to do.
Mitchel gave Hector a reassuring smile, his features lighting up.
Hector, remember our deal. You need to be outside backing me up.
After a brief pause, Hector expressed his concern, Mitchel, Im really worried about you.
This was one of Hectors rare displays of genuine care. Since Mitchel was the only grandchild of the

Dixon family, Hector deeply wished for Mitchel to become stronger and impervious to vulnerabilities. A man in Mitchels position had to remain stoic, his emotions as solid as stone.
That was why Hector had stepped in when Mitchel and Raegan clashed, urging Mitchel to back down.
However, later, Hector realized he might have repeated his fathers mistake. Somehow, he had conformed to those societal standards, embracing the outdated beliefs.

So upon returning, Hector didnt hesitate to express his care. In his view, Mitchel and Bryce were no different. With their father gone, they had become the central focus of his life. He felt it was his duty to look after every member of the Dixon family.
Hectors brow creased as he asked, Mitchel, are you keeping something from me?
Mitchel noticed the sincere worry in Hectors expression. They shared blood and bonds, this care deeply rooted in the consciousness of every Dixon family member. He gave a small smile. No, Hector, youre overthinking. I just need to talk things over with Katie in a really quiet place.

Mitchels expression remained calm. He did not respond to Katies question.
Katie forced herself to calm down and comforted herself that everything would be okay. She had seen all sorts of situations, after all. Anyway, they had already announced their wedding, and the whole world knew about it. What could Mitchel possibly do to her now?

No need, Mitchel replied expressionlessly.
Katies smile froze. But she quickly regained her composure, laughed nervously, and attempted to appease him. Mitchel, there were too many people earlier, so I didnt get a chance to explain. The invitation They forced me to do so.
Katie covered her teary eyes with her hands but secretly observed Mitchels reaction.
Deep inside her, she couldnt help cursing Henley. It turned out Henley wasnt a legitimate son. He even had no connection with the Dixon family. How dare he tell her he was Alexis only child, the rightful heir of the Dixon Group! And she was too foolish to believe his account that Mitchel was adopted.
It was only now that Katie realized that neither Henley nor Alexis resembled the members of the Dixon family. The members of the Dixon family were all dignified and upright people. On the other hand, Henley and Alexis had dubious and slippery demeanors. She scolded herself for being blind. But she also felt lucky that she didnt go too far.
