Raegan couldn’t believe it! Henley just called Luciana mom?

Luciana snapped back, displeased, “Don’t call me that, you bastard.

The Dixon family wants nothing to do with you.

You’re just a problem caused by Alexis’ cheating.

And you think you can be part of our family? Keep dreaming!”

Even with Luciana’s harsh words, Henley seemed amused.

He replied calmly, “Mom, maybe you haven’t heard? You’ve been so worried about my brother that you might have missed the news this morning.

You can still catch up.

With that, Henley grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to a financial news channel.

The news anchor announced, “This morning at 8, Alexis Dixon, the chairman of the board of Ardlens’ top company, Dixon Group, revealed in a press conference that his youngest son, Henley Dixon, is now the General Manager of the International Trade Department.

The youngest son is…”

“Bang!” Luciana threw a teapot at the TV, breaking the screen in a fit of anger.

“How could Alexis make such a choice without asking me first? How dare he!”

As Luciana got more upset, Henley remained calm and even seemed more gentle.

He smiled and asked, “Mom, are you kidding? With all the shares you own, my dad doesn’t really need your permission for his decisions.

Luciana, fuming, tried to slap Henley, but Henley was quick to catch her wrist.

A brief look of anger flashed through his eyes as he calmly said, “You’re not going to treat me the same way you did her, are you?”

Henley looked over at Raegan with a look of sympathy for her bruised cheek.

His smile faded a bit as he tightened his hold on Luciana’s wrist.

“Let go of my arm, you jerk!” Luciana protested.

Henley, noticing the pain on Luciana’s face, softly reminded her, “Remember, you’re the matriarch of the Dixon family.

Watch what you do and say.

We wouldn’t want any scandals, would we? It wouldn’t be good for Mitchel.

His tone was gentle, yet there was a clear warning in his words.

Luciana, pained and speechless, started sweating, the pressure on her wrist too much for her.

When things seemed to get out of hand, Matteo stepped in, saying, “Sir, please, let her go.

Henley gave a sarcastic smile.

“I’m just talking to my mother.

You don’t get the right to say a word.

As Matteo tried to step in, two bodyguards came in and held him back.

Henley ordered, “Could you please take Matteo out for some tea?” But his tone suggested it wasn’t going to be a pleasant tea break.

Despite Matteo’s competence, the crowded room and worry about hurting Raegan or anyone else restrained him.

When they took Matteo away, Raegan couldn’t just stand by.

She shouted, “Henley, let Luciana go!”

Henley’s smile dimmed a bit, showing confusion as he looked at Raegan.

“Raegan, she harmed you.

Don’t you hate her?” he asked.

Raegan responded icily, “That’s my issue, not yours.

Now, get out of here, please.

Aware that Henley was the illegitimate child Katie had mentioned, Raegan became more cautious.

Henley was not just an ordinary guy.

Raegan’s command seemed to erase Henley’s smile completely, leaving his good looks overshadowed by a cold aura.
