Erick drew himself to his full height and stated in a cold, unyielding voice, âI know what you want.
You want me to Let you have your way with my sister, but that will never happen.
â
In reply, Mitchel pushed a document folder across the coffee table towards Erick.
âElder brother, perhaps you should review this before making a decision.
â
Curious, Erick warily accepted the folder and pulled out the encrypted documents inside.
His eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he saw the contents.
This document was Mitchelâs will!
Erick flipped through the pages quickly.
But the more he read, the more bemused he became.
By the time Erick got to the last page, he struggled to keep his surprise in check.
âYouâre leaving eighty percent of your entire fortune to Raegan?â
âCorrect.
The will has been notarized.
Rest assured.
There will be no changes,â Mitchel affirmed.
There was no force in the world that could have stopped Erick from gaping.
Eighty percent of Mitchelâs fortune for Raegan, and the remaining twenty for Mitchelâs mother.
Erick had an idea as to why Mitchel had allocated his fortune in this manner.
It wasnât because Mitchel favored Raegan over his mother.
Mitchelâs mother had already owned six percent of the Dixon Groupâs shares.
With this additional twenty percent of Mitchelâs fortune, her share would surpass Raeganâs.
A revelation startling enough on its own.
Willingness to give a fortune worth billions to Raegan so readilyâ¦
Mitchel gave Erick a moment to absorb the news before explaining calmly, âErick, my intention in showing you this is not to gain immediate approval from you for me to marry Raegan.
I just want a chance to make things right and make up for my past mistakes.
Iâve been so preoccupied with work that I neglected Raegan and caused her undue suffering, even to the point where she lost our child.
I understand where youâre coming from, but I still want to beg for a chance to make amends.
Could you please not intervene in my getting along with Raegan for some time? Even if Raegan doesnât choose me in the end, my will remains unchanged.
Raegan is the one I desired to spend with for the rest of my life,â Mitchelâs tone was somber, his expression earnest.
Mitchel was never one to openly express his emotions, but once he was sure of his feelings, he stood firm and resolute.
And for Raeganâs sake, he was willing to explore every possibility.
When Mitchel was making his impassioned speech, Erick had slid Mitchelâs will away, only to be pushed back his way by Mitchel, who remarked, âPlease keep this will for me.
â
Erickâs lips pursed, a trace of bewilderment on his refined face.
âYou just want me to allow you two to see each other? No other strings attached?â
Surprise was an inadequate word to describe what Erick was feeling.
Mitchel just entrusted Erick with the notarized will bearing Mitchelâs private seal.
Mitchel was essentially offering up his weakness to Erick on a silver platter.
If this document fell into the hands of Mitchelâs enemy and got exposure, it could destabilize the Dixon Groupâs stock market presence.
Moreover, Mitchel would likely be forced to step down from his position as CEO.
Mitchel, a shrewd businessman, undoubtedly knew the risks of his doings.
For the first time, Erick realized the terrifying extent of Mitchelâs folly when blinded by love.
Erick was simply an observer, having never been in love.
In Erickâs opinion, his career ambitions took precedence over love without exception.
âActually, I have one condition,â Mitchel answered grimly.
Erick smirked.
He knew it! There was no way Mitchel was truly that selfless.
Erick braced himself, waiting for Mitchel to reveal his true intentions.
However, Mitchel simply said, âPlease do not tell Raegan about this will.
I donât want to add to her emotional burden.
