Chapter 669

? ? ? ? ?

Matteo ignored Henley, his grip on Alexis unbreakable.

Henley, visibly upset, clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to regain his calm. Then he addressed Mitchel directly: “Mitchel, what's going on? He is our father. "Acting like this could turn shareholders against us."

Henley emphasized "our father" to get under Mitchel's skin, twisting the story to make it seem like Matteo's protective move was a sign of Mitchel's disrespect toward Alexis. Such an accusation was serious.

Mitchel's lips curved into a slight smile, his eyes dancing with sarcasm. "Matteo, let's show the shareholders what my father has up his sleeve, shall we?"

Matteo stepped back and prepared the presentation on the big screen.

Soon, Alexis's voice filled the room. "Mr. Douglas, Mr. Potter, Mr. Faulkner, if you support my son Henley and help him come to power, you will have your choice of projects. We will go to seventy-thirty in profits.

The three gentlemen Alexis addressed did not seem enthusiastic. The Dixon Group had a history of twenty-eight, which made the division into seventy and thirty less attractive, especially with the risk of crossing with Mitchel.

They knew what Mitchel was capable of. His competence should not be underestimated.

Alexis, seemingly unfazed, continued calmly pouring himself a drink. "You will get seventy and the Dixon Group will get thirty."

"That? Oh really?" The three of them were stunned. Normally, the Dixon Group accepted a distribution of eighty-twenty in its favor.

Given the quality and reliability of payments on Dixon Group projects, even a twenty percent fee was highly coveted.

Securing final payments was notoriously difficult these days. A high profit share did not mean much if the final payment was not achieved.

But Alexis's proposal was unexpectedly generous. They did not hesitate to accept it.

When the video ended, the room descended into chaos, with shareholders enraged by Alexis's audacity. It was no wonder that Alexis had a knack for winning over clients. He knew how to use what they liked to get them to like him.

Alexis, mouth open, struggled to find words. He was so sure he could outrun Mitchel and get him to back down. But now, he felt like he had been slapped in the face. Finally, he managed to say, "Mitchel, this... You're setting me up!"

But no one took Alexis' side.

The images showed it all: Alexis's face, her voice, clear enough for everyone, including the three gentlemen, to recognize her.

Alexis ranted, “Are you framing me? How dare you frame your own father, Mitchel Dixon? "You have no heart."

Alexis couldn't accept losing after all the effort she had made. If Mitchel started to notice, setting another trap would be difficult.

«But even if I tried to get ahead, what about the East Garden project? You are breaking down because of that woman, letting yourself be carried away by your emotions, right? Alexis argued.

Just after saying this, someone checking their phone exclaimed, “The Eastern Garden project just exploded!”

The Internet went into an uproar. The forced evictions and harassment of the Glyn family under the pretext of carrying out the East Garden project were now public knowledge.

The reporter's father, forced by Glyn family thugs to jump into a river, ended up with brain damage after being saved. Shortly after, he died miserably.

At first, the reporter hesitated to inform the authority, concerned about the Glyn family's actions against him.
