Alexis stood there, stunned. He had intended to hit Raegan. But in the chaos, his slap had landed squarely on Mitchel’s jaw.
Mitchel realized that had he not stepped in, Raegan would have been the one to bear the brunt of that slap. At the thought of this, his eyes turned cold.
While striking back at his father was not an option, he was not without recourse.
Right in front of Alexis, Mitchel dialed a number and rattled off a list of names.
“Investigate these individuals thoroughly. If you find any wrongdoing, transfer the case to the prosecutor’s office and press charges.”

Alexis’ complexion drained of color.
The individuals Mitchel targeted for investigation were Alexis’ confidants. This move Mitchel was a clear of his of by signal way getting back. It was not only detrimental to the company’s internal harmony but also posed a threat to its image and reputation.
Alexis pointed accusingly at Mitchel.
“Do you still see me as your father? I did all this for your good! How can you oppose me over a woman? Have you ever thought about the repercussions for the company?”
“If you’re so concerned about the company, then stop provoking me,”
Mitchel retorted.
“This is the final warning. Don’t hurt my people.
More importantly, don’t speak ill of her, not to mention insult her.
If you push me further, jail will be the least of your worries!”
Mitchel’s threat was stark and unmasked. He made sure Raegan heard it.
Alexis was boiling with rage, feeling a sharp, throbbing pain in his chest. His authority and dignity were completely undermined.

At this moment, he clutched his chest and exclaimed, “You’re such an unfilial son! You have the nerve to send the company’s elders to the police for her sake. What’s next? Are you going send me to the police station tomorrow?”
“As long as you refrain from acting recklessly, I can guarantee you a peaceful retirement.”
Mitchel’s implication was clear. If Alexis crossed the line, particularly with Raegan, Mitchel would not hesitate to act, even if it meant throwing his father in jail.
“How dare you!” Alexis clutched the railing. He was so furious that he struggled for breath.
Suddenly, Mitchel called out, “Matteo!”
Matteo walked over to Mitchel, who then ordered, “Escort him to see the doctor. Also, station two bodyguards at the door. Don’t let anyone like him come in Alexis could hardly believe what he was hearing. Mitchel was targeting him.
That was exactly what he had said moments earlier. But now, his own words were being used against him.
Alexis felt a tightness in his chest. His eyes rolled back as Matteo assisted him out of the room.
