“Mr. Mitchel Dixon has truly overstepped. How could he treat Mr. Alexis Dixon this way? After all, Mr. Alexis Dixon raised him for so long. How did we end up with such an ungrateful person?”
“Yes, I used to admire Mr. Mitchel Dixon for his ambition and talent, but now it seems his morals and respect for the family are lacking!”
“Someone like that will have a tough time making it in the market. No matter how skilled they are, being heartless and ruthless will only earn them disdain.”
Alexis fell silent. The murmurs around felt like blessings from above.
A wave of immense satisfaction washed over him, loosening his vigilance.

With a smile, Alexis said, “Mitchel, without the Dixon family’s support, you’d better hope Katie sticks by you. At least with her, you won’t have to worry about making your end meet.”
Seeing Mitchel remain silent, Alexis assumed the pressure of public opinion had subdued him. He felt triumphant. Turning around, he asserted his authority as the head of the Dixon family, saying to Mitchel, “After today’s gathering, you needn’t return to Kyler’s place. You aren’t a Dixon by blood, and it’s unfitting for you to be there. That place is reserved for those truly deserving.”
Mitchel gave a frosty smile and retorted, “Indeed, only those truly deserving should stay there. You and your son certainly do not qualify.”

“You… You!” Alexis was so furious that he couldn’t finish his sentence.
After a pause, Alexis said, “You little brat! How dare you question my worth! I am the most deserving member of the Dixon family!”
“When you were known as Alexis Dixon, perhaps you were. But have you forgotten your real name?” Mitchel added coolly, “Mr. Darin Rayne.”
“What? What the hell!”
Alexis’ face registered shock as if struck by lightning. How could this be? How could Mitchel know his previous name as Darin Rayne? It was utterly impossible.
Alexis was pretty sure Mitchel had no idea about his previous name being Darin Rayne. After all, Kyler had heeded his advice, for the sake of Mitchel’s psychological and physical well-being intact by convincing Mitchel they were connected by blood. All the evidence about where Mitchel came from had been hidden away.
After Kyler’s death, Alexis had personally opened Kyler’s safe and destroyed those records.
With this reassurance, Alexis gradually regained his composure. He assumed Mitchel had just caught wind of a rumor and was trying to use it to trick him. He couldn’t let Mitchel get to him!
“You little rascal, don’t think you can smear my name like this!”
With his hands on his hips, Alexis declared confidently, “Everyone here can see clearly. They know you’re aware of your origins, and now, out of shame and spite, you’re trying to tarnish my reputation!”
Mitchel gave a cold smile. “Mr. Darin Rayne, if you’ve forgotten who you really are, allow me to jog everyone’s memory. Please…”
Before Mitchel could continue, Alexis panicked. “You little scoundrel! I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”
In his fury, Alexis started to unfasten his belt, but the more flustered he got, the less he managed to undo it. Out of exasperation, he grabbed his shoe and hurled it at Mitchel.
Unexpectedly, one of Mitchel’s bodyguards kicked it back like kicking a soccer ball.
Then came with a “thud!”
The shoe hit Alexis in the chest, and he tumbled to the ground. He immediately started to wail. “The young beating the old. It’s madness. This brat has lost his mind! Seize him and give him a good thrashing!”
