Henley, taking his time, pulled out a report with a smile. “Mitchel, considering the kid might have Dixon genes, I got a paternity test done.”
And the report showed a 99.99% genetic match.
Henley, smiling warmly, said, “Does this convince you the child is yours?”
Before Mitchel could answer, Alexis burst in, snapping at Mitchel, “You bastard! You got Katie pregnant and now you’re denying it!”
Mitchel stayed calm. “I’ve said it’s not mine. Someone could have tampered with these test results.”
Alexis retorted, “Do you honestly believe Katie would stoop to falsifying a test to trap you into believing the paternity of her child?”
Mitchel’s gaze shifted between the three and said mockingly, “She’s not acting alone.”
Alexis froze, knowing what Mitchel was implying.
“We could always take another test with everyone present,” Alexis suggested with a facade of righteousness. “But let’s wait until Katie feels better. She’s been sick lately.”
Mitchel watched their act without response, discerning their hidden agendas.
The three had their own motives, with Katie being used as a pawn, oblivious to the manipulation.

The next second, Henley decided to reveal his ace. “I bet this isn’t your first time dealing with such messy situations, huh?”
Henley went on nonchalantly, “Let’s not forget about the former vice president of the Dixon Group, Katie, who used her ties with you to divert funds from the company. A lot of shareholders have grievances over this.”
Katie, stunned, couldn’t believe her ears. Henley was supposed to be on her side. Why was he saying all this?
Henley slammed a petition on the table, signed by forty-two shareholders. “Forty-two shareholders have signed this, calling for an internal investigation into your actions, Mitchel.”
It was essentially a call for Mitchel’s removal.
“It’s better if you step back from company matters for now,” Henley suggested.
Alexis chimed in, “Launching an investigation is the right move. We need to give the shareholders an explanation. The Dixon Group requires a leader who can make smart choices.”
Alexis added with conviction, “Even if you’re my son, I won’t protect you if you’re in the wrong.”
Despite claims of a father-son bond, Alexis’ actions had never really reflected such a relationship.
The announcement left the executives reeling, with Katie being especially shocked and angry.
However, Mitchel, the person at the center of all this, remained calm.
He stood up and said smoothly, “I’ll cooperate fully with the investigation.”
His willingness to cooperate surprised Alexis and Henley, disrupting their plans.
