Chapter 923:

Alexis remained frozen for a long time until Henley brought him back to reality.

Henley then murmured urgently: “So what if he knows? Without proof, it's useless. Who can prove that he is the son of that deceased old man?

The idea hit Alexis hard, bringing her back to her senses. In fact, even if Mitchel knew the truth, what could he do with it?

Anyone who could have confirmed it was no longer alive. Everything related to Kyler in the house had been burned or destroyed. There was no DNA evidence left. What was there to worry about?

Regaining confidence, Alexis scoffed. “Mitchel, it's amazing that you made up such a wild story just to claim the Dixon fortune. You think that knowing my past gives you the authority to invent such stories. You are Kyler's adopted son and yet you are trying to foist this story on me, which is absolutely absurd and shameful!

They both stuck to their contradictory stories, leaving everyone baffled and not knowing who to trust.

Suddenly, applause erupted from the entrance to the dining room, catching everyone off guard.

An elegantly dressed man walked in, clapping his hands as he walked towards Alexis.

When Alexis saw the man's face, her eyes shot open.

The man stopped before Alexis, his tone calm and measured, saying, "It's been a long time."

This greeting drastically altered Alexis's face. He gaped and stammered, “You… Why are you still alive?”

Alexis blinked rapidly, struggling to comprehend the reality of the man before her, very much alive.

As Alexis's face paled, the man's lips twisted into a faint smile. «How could I not be alive to hear such an intriguing story? But I must say that your ability to spin stories has certainly improved over the years.

Alexis was visibly agitated, looked at the man and said nervously, "Hector, just because Kyler isn't here anymore, don't think you can just make things up."

The man facing Alexis was, indeed, the missing Héctor.

In his youth, Hector fell out with Kyler over a woman, and since then, he had stayed away from all matters related to the Dixon Group.

It's not like Kyler would have kicked Hector out. On the contrary, Kyler had highly valued Hector's talent and wanted him to guide Mitchel.

But Héctor was a hopeless romantic. He had once been deeply in love with a woman and had even helped her escape from Berton. Kyler, misinterpreting Hector's intentions as eloping with the woman, strongly disapproved and intervened.

When Héctor tried to locate the woman, it was too late. Their lives had changed radically by the time they met again, making it almost impossible for them to get back together.

Discouraged, Héctor left the city and started a business elsewhere.

Holding a grudge against Kyler for this, he had withdrawn from the Dixon family's affairs.

Kyler had his own considerations. The origins of the woman Hector adored from the Hayes family were complicated, as her parents had disappeared, but she was undeniably stunning. At that moment, the 18-year-old Hector would not have been able to protect her.

By the time Hector was able to fend for himself, their paths had already parted, and they had missed each other.

During all these years, Kyler never spoke about Hector in public, but privately, he regretted his interference, wishing he had supported Hector instead. Maybe things would have turned out differently.

But Kyler never imagined that Casey, the woman Hector cared about, was actually Raegan's biological mother. That the woman Hector appreciated and the one Mitchel loved were actually mother and daughter.

Raegan having Casey's eyes was precisely why Hector had been keeping an eye on Raegan. After all, Casey was the woman who had once captured his heart.
