Chapter 919:

A satisfied smile appeared on Henley's lips. After years of anticipation, his time had finally come. It seemed as if the heavens themselves had conspired in their favor!

Henley stated: "I chose today to make this point because Mitchel has unfairly claimed a position that does not belong to him and refuses to cede it to my father. My father generously adopted him, and this so-called brother of mine, with no blood relation to us, has instead tried to displace me and my father from our own family.

Turning to Mitchel, whose composure remained intact, Henley sneered: "Tell me, Mr. Dixon, how can you justify your actions?"

Henley's use of "Mr. Dixon” dripped with irony.

In such a situation, any ordinary man could collapse under the weight of shame or react with indignation. However, Mitchel remained unfazed, as if oblivious to the turmoil swirling around him.

Even Henley, brimming with confidence, felt a pang of doubt at Mitchel's calm demeanor. How could Mitchel remain so calm, without revealing anything about his inner state?

At this time, Alexis joined Henley on stage, intending to mend his image following previous disputes with Mitchel within the company.

Portraying the role of a contrite father, he expressed through tears: «Mitchel, although we are not united by blood, a father's duty to educate lasts a lifetime. "It's one thing to ignore your parental guidance, but your aggressive actions against Henley were unjustified."

Alexis wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse with emotion. “Seeing you like this, I have to accept some of the blame, but… This time, you really let me down.”

Alexis's performance was that of a father exhausted by his son's missteps. If taken at face value, Mitchel's actions would be morally reprehensible, possibly even disqualifying him from leading the Dixon Group.

Mitchel remained silent, so the audience did not know what his point of view was.

Eager to resolve the situation, Alexis continued, “Mitchel, I hid the truth about your adoption to protect you and make sure you had a normal upbringing. But now, with my own son sidelined by your actions, I had to set the record straight. I hope you correct your course and return the Dixon Group to its rightful leader. Of course, if you decide to stay with the Dixon Group, you will be welcome to continue in whatever role suits you best.

Although Alexis' offer seemed kind, he was convinced that Mitchel would reject it. Given Mitchel's insight, he surely realized that remaining in the Dixon Group would only lead to his marginalization amid the growing hostilities. He wasn't naïve enough to believe otherwise.

However, Alexis understood that it was crucial to extend these courtesies to avoid appearing insensitive.

"Mr. "Alexis Dixon." Mitchel finally spoke, with an ironic tone when addressing Alexis.

Looking directly at Alexis, Mitchel asked, "The name Alexis Dixon, did Kyler choose it?"

Alexis's complexion paled, and he snapped, “Ungrateful son, how dare you address me by my name directly? It seems that you insist on aggravating your mistakes.

Mitchel responded with a contemptuous chuckle, light but disdainful.

With his gaze slightly lowered, Mitchel looked down from his elevated stance and asked, "Mr. Alexis Dixon, do you really not recognize who is really making a mistake here?"

As Mitchel spoke, Alexis felt her heart race and a feeling of dread wash over her.

However, Alexis remained calm and replied: “Don't talk nonsense. If you're going to be so delusional, don't be surprised when I cut our family ties and sue you for trespassing on my property.

“Speaking of cutting family ties, I have no blood connection with you, so there is no bond to repudiate in the first place,” Mitchel replied coldly.

Alexis was confused. Why did Mitchel sound like he knew something?

But how was it possible? Only Kyler and Beuford had known the secret for years. A third person could not be aware.
