Chapter 721

? ? ? ? ?

Looking haggard and saddened, Alexis began: “Forgive me, everyone. I haven't been feeling well lately and can only speak briefly. As many of you know, Mitchel was my most exceptional son, and I still have a hard time accepting his passing…”

Alexis paused to wipe away tears, her palpable pain evoking empathy from the audience.

His voice breaking, he continued: “But now that the harsh reality has set in, I think it's time to face the situation. Despite the death of my son, there is a hopeful event. Miss Katie Glyn is expecting your child. When the child is born, Miss Katie Glyn will officially take over as CEO of the Glyn Group, and we look forward to closer cooperation between our families in the future.”

Katie, dressed in a simple black Chanel dress and a pearl hat, embodying the sadness of a widow, gently wiped away tears as the camera panned toward her.

Alexis continued: “To ensure the smooth running of the Dixon Group, the board decided yesterday that my youngest son, Henley Dixon, will temporarily take over as CEO. With extensive experience in senior positions at major Wall Street financial institutions, he is equally qualified. “Inspired by his older brother, Henley is prepared to take the Dixon Group to new heights and maintain its legacy.”

Pride shone in Alexis's eyes as she spoke.

Confusion spread among those in attendance, transforming the press conference into what seemed like a recognition ceremony for Henley.

Alexis stifled a satisfied smile with a slight cough before announcing, "Now, please welcome my son, Henley, to share a few words."

Henley's rise, dressed in a tailored suit, highlighted his striking and sophisticated presence.

Just as Henley was about to take the stage, a sudden interruption broke the calm atmosphere. "Wait!"

All heads turned toward the official entrance, where Raegan, dressed in a white blouse and black pants, entered with flawless makeup and a vibrant demeanor.

Alexis's expression changed uncomfortably as she reprimanded, "What are the security personnel doing? Allowing any individual to enter like this?

As security prepared to escort Raegan out, they were obstructed by a team of burly bodyguards in sunglasses, and the security staff found themselves overwhelmed.

Alexis, furious, exclaimed: "What is this? Intentional disruption at the Dixon Group? "Call the police."

"One moment!" Matteo came forward from the rear of the bodyguards. "Miss Foster is here to represent Mr. Mitchel Dixon."

This statement sparked murmurs among the crowd. Hadn't Mitchel died? How could there still be a spokesperson for him?

Matteo motioned for Raegan to come on stage. With aplomb, Raegan addressed those present: “Good morning everyone. Today I am here to announce that the news of the death of Mitchel Dixon, declared by Mr. Alexis Dixon, is false!

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, the journalists startled by this unexpected turn.

«You're lying! You…” Alexis began to hurl an insult, but restrained himself in the presence of the media. «You are spreading falsehoods.

"I wanted to maintain my son's dignity, but since you are spreading rumors, I will reveal the truth to everyone."

The big screen was ready. It blinked, showing the last few seconds of footage of Mitchel driving, recorded by a rear security vehicle.

Mitchel's profile appeared firm and handsome, his expression not one of fear but of calm acceptance.

When Raegan first saw the images, her heart sank and her breath caught.

The images were brief, lasting less than a minute.
