Chapter 1172:

After all, Henley had funneled significant sums through financial loopholes during his tenure at the Dixon Group, then under Alexis' control.

Now, even if the Dixon Group had incriminating evidence, they couldn't touch Henley since Alexis had taken full responsibility for all associated crimes.

While Henley's reputation was tarnished at home, abroad he was celebrated as a distinguished young businessman.

Meanwhile, Alexis languished in prison, still hoping that Henley would come to his aid. It was a vain hope, for even if he was rotted behind bars, that callous Henley would never come to rescue him.

Raegan, exasperated by Henley's arrogance, confronted him. "You mistreated a woman who truly loved you."

Henley paused, imagining Matilda's innocent expression. Of all the women he had ever met, she was the most sincere and selfless. If it weren't for Raegan, he might have genuinely cared for her.

He gave a wry smile. “Raegan, I don't want her. “I only want you.”

Raegan stepped back, disgusted. “Just because you don't love her, do you think you can trample on her feelings? Mr. Brooks, your values ​​are truly unacceptable!” She pointed to the door and firmly said, “Please leave now or I will call security.”

As he spoke, he discreetly searched through his desk for his phone to call the police.

However, Henley saw her movements reflected in the mirror and smiled slightly. “Raegan, I didn't come to hurt you. I just wanted to see you. There’s no need to be so tense.”

Unconvinced, Raegan pointed sternly toward the door, her expression icy.

"Are you going to leave or not?"

Since Henley had seen her pick up the phone, he saw no need to hide his actions. I have picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number.

Before the call could connect, Henley rushed over, snatched the phone from his hand and disconnected the call.

“Help!” Raegan screamed, dropping the phone and taking several steps back to create distance between herself and the menacing figure.

Since Henley had entered so boldly and remained unfazed for so long, it meant that he had probably neutralized the door's security.

Raegan realized that a direct confrontation was not the wisest course of action at the moment. Lacking the physical strength to overpower a man, her wits were her only defense.

With a casual movement, Henley tossed his phone into a glass of water on his desk. He looked at Raegan with a satisfied smile and proposed, “Raegan, cancel your wedding and come with me.”

A wave of panic washed over Raegan as she stared at Henley.

"You're crazy! If you try to take me hostage, you won't even get out of this place."

Henley laughed at her response. “Raegan, it's clear that we love each other. It’s quite understandable that you would run away during a wedding you don’t want, right?”

His words sent a chill down Raegan's spine. She knew he must have set this up. If she disappeared, the media would likely report it as a romantic elopement. Such a narrative could severely affect the Dixon Group's share prices.

Henley's ultimate goal was still to undermine the Dixon Group. Even if he couldn't destabilize the company, simply tarnishing its reputation was satisfying to him.

Raegan responded with fierce determination, “Your plan will not succeed. I have scheduled a Twitter post that will go live if the wedding does not go ahead as planned. “Everyone will know that something has happened to me, and I have asked the people of Ambrosia to help spread the word.”
