Erick drew himself to his full height and stated in a cold, unyielding voice, “I know what you want. You want me to Let you have your way with my sister, but that will never happen.”
In reply, Mitchel pushed a document folder across the coffee table towards Erick.
“Elder brother, perhaps you should review this before making a decision.”
Curious, Erick warily accepted the folder and pulled out the encrypted documents inside. His eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he saw the contents.
This document was Mitchel’s will!
Erick flipped through the pages quickly. But the more he read, the more bemused he became.

By the time Erick got to the last page, he struggled to keep his surprise in check. “You’re leaving eighty percent of your entire fortune to Raegan?”
“Correct. The will has been notarized. Rest assured. There will be no changes,” Mitchel affirmed.
There was no force in the world that could have stopped Erick from gaping. Eighty percent of Mitchel’s fortune for Raegan, and the remaining twenty for Mitchel’s mother.
Erick had an idea as to why Mitchel had allocated his fortune in this manner. It wasn’t because Mitchel favored Raegan over his mother.
Mitchel’s mother had already owned six percent of the Dixon Group’s shares. With this additional twenty percent of Mitchel’s fortune, her share would surpass Raegan’s. A revelation startling enough on its own. Willingness to give a fortune worth billions to Raegan so readily…
Mitchel gave Erick a moment to absorb the news before explaining calmly, “Erick, my intention in showing you this is not to gain immediate approval from you for me to marry Raegan. I just want a chance to make things right and make up for my past mistakes. I’ve been so preoccupied with work that I neglected Raegan and caused her undue suffering, even to the point where she lost our child.
I understand where you’re coming from, but I still want to beg for a chance to make amends. Could you please not intervene in my getting along with Raegan for some time? Even if Raegan doesn’t choose me in the end, my will remains unchanged. Raegan is the one I desired to spend with for the rest of my life,” Mitchel’s tone was somber, his expression earnest.
Mitchel was never one to openly express his emotions, but once he was sure of his feelings, he stood firm and resolute. And for Raegan’s sake, he was willing to explore every possibility.
When Mitchel was making his impassioned speech, Erick had slid Mitchel’s will away, only to be pushed back his way by Mitchel, who remarked, “Please keep this will for me.”
Erick’s lips pursed, a trace of bewilderment on his refined face.
“You just want me to allow you two to see each other? No other strings attached?”
Surprise was an inadequate word to describe what Erick was feeling.

Mitchel just entrusted Erick with the notarized will bearing Mitchel’s private seal. Mitchel was essentially offering up his weakness to Erick on a silver platter.
If this document fell into the hands of Mitchel’s enemy and got exposure, it could destabilize the Dixon Group’s stock market presence. Moreover, Mitchel would likely be forced to step down from his position as CEO. Mitchel, a shrewd businessman, undoubtedly knew the risks of his doings.
For the first time, Erick realized the terrifying extent of Mitchel’s folly when blinded by love. Erick was simply an observer, having never been in love. In Erick’s opinion, his career ambitions took precedence over love without exception.
“Actually, I have one condition,” Mitchel answered grimly.
Erick smirked. He knew it! There was no way Mitchel was truly that selfless. Erick braced himself, waiting for Mitchel to reveal his true intentions.
However, Mitchel simply said, “Please do not tell Raegan about this will. I don’t want to add to her emotional burden.”
