The plot was to use Lauren and Tessa to eliminate Raegan, the woman Mitchel loved, thereby upending his life.

Although Katie and Alexis had different motives, their goals were the same.

Katie hoped the tragedy would leave Mitchel isolated and vulnerable to her charms, while Alexis saw an opportunity to ruin Mitchel and capitalize on his misfortune.

Their interests were perfectly aligned.

So, Alexis adopted Katie’s scheme, having his assistant covertly support Lauren’s and Tessa’s efforts,

which proved quite effective.

Lauren and Tessa were far from being decent, and the scheme went without a hitch.

After Raegan’s child vanished and Tessa faced murder accusations, Alexis figured that part of the job was pretty much over.

He really did consider getting rid of his assistant back then.

Just before he could do something to end his assistant, the news of the death of his assistant arrived.

Having underestimated his assistant, Alexis didn’t bother to look into the so-called death of his assistant, assuming his assistant wouldn’t dare to trick him, and was delighted to have fortune on his side.

However, Alexis was unaware of his assistant’s cunning nature.

Having foreseen Alexis’ intent to kill him after having him do the dirty work, the assistant wittingly kept the evidence of Alexis’ involvement with the kidnapping case.

Grinding his teeth with hatred and frustration, Alexis realized he was doomed.

The police were ready to take Alexis away, not granting them the time to chat anymore.

Just then, Alexis seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming, “So you knew Katie was involved, yet you still married her! What are you playing at?”

Mitchel responded with a frosty chuckle, “What do you think?”

Alexis was shocked.

He belatedly realized the depth of Mitchel’s cunning.

Before, he would scoff at the praise of Mitchel’s talents, assuming Mitchel could merely run the company well.

Yet, the remarkable ways of Mitchel turning the table stunned Alexis, making him realized he never truly knew Mitchel.

Mitchel, with his competence and foresights, consistently managed to turn the table and achieve his goals, regardless of the situation.

Alexis reluctantly admitted that Mitchel was far more outstanding than him.

Even having been taken in to the Dixon family for years, Alexis still felt no sense of belonging.

No matter how well he blended in or how much he adapted, he always felt like an outsider, his manners and mindset when going with the name “Darin” ingrained in him.

That was why he had been desperately tried to take over the Dixon Group for his own son, Henley.

Alexis crafted a convincing lie, never telling Henley that he wasn’t a true Dixon, all to give Henley a sense of identity and pride in belonging.

But now, it seemed pointless.

“Mitchel, you really are unruly and ungrateful!” Alexis snapped.

Mitchel’s response was frosty.

“You should be thinking about the punishment that awaits you for all the harm you’ve caused, the lives you’ve destroyed.

Alexis, your days are numbered.

And your son, whom you’ve defended so fiercely? I’ll ensure he never succeeds.

Alexis’ lips turned pale, and he shook as he accused, “You! You’re so cruel!”

“Is it cruel to retaliate when you wantonly trample on others’ lives?”

Mitchel raised an eyebrow.

“You should realize I’m just setting things right.

It’s nothing compared to what you’ve done.

“Why…” Alexis was livid.

“Don’t you know you’re soon to meet your end? Why go this far? I raised you, yet you’d prefer the Dixon Group fall into another’s hands rather than mine?”

Alexis believed he had unearthed a shocking revelation.
