Mitchel’s gaze snapped to Alexis, ice in his stare.
As Alexis plotted, he pressed on, “I’m doing this for the company’s future. Don’t make me intervene with your ex, Mitchel.”
Mitchel’s grip on the pen tightened suddenly as he said in an icy tone, “Try it and you’ll face the consequences.”
The sheer menace in his gaze sent shivers through Alexis.
This wasn’t his first encounter with Mitchel’s cruelty.
Previously, only Kyler and Luciana had been shielded by Mitchel, but now, another woman had captured his concern.
Yet, Alexis knew he held no value to Mitchel.
The more Alexis pondered, the stronger his resolve grew. Despite previous defeats by Mitchel, leading to his exile, he was determined to stand his ground for his another son.
“Don’t push me, Mitchel, and we can coexist peacefully,” Alexis offered.
Mitchel looked up, his voice devoid of warmth.
“Done with your nonsense? Leave, immediately!”
“How dare you!” Alexis, seething with rage yet controlling his fury, suggested, “Perhaps try to tolerate Eloise. I’m not insisting on you marrying her. But if we ally with the Benton Group for the energy project, it benefits us all, doesn’t it?”

Unfazed, Mitchel hit the No. 1 button on his desk phone and commanded, “Matteo, escort the guest out.”
After being shown to the door, Alexis, fuming, managed to compose himself upon seeing Eloise, assuring her with a forced smile, “Mitchel is a bit aloof and detached sometimes. He needs your warmth and charm to thaw his frostiness, understand?”
Eloise’s face lit up with understanding.
“Yes, I got it. Thank you, Alexis.”
Pleased by her adoring gaze, Alexis started to strategize.

He seized the opportunity, knowing Mitchel’s looks were a magnet for young women.
“You’re the only one I see as my daughter-in-law, Eloise.
Make me proud,” he encouraged.
Eloise’s nod carried the weight of her growing hopes.
After Alexis’ departure, Eloise headed straight for Mitchel’s office but was halted by Matteo.
Matteo offered a gentle refusal, “Apologies, Miss Benton. Mr. Dixon is occupied with a conference call.”
