âHave you thought about what turning against the Glyn family might cost you? The Dixon Group harbors many who oppose you, and youâre surely aware of the traps being set for you,â she implored, seizing the moment to make her case.
Katie knew Mitchel was navigating a storm of both internal discord and external threats, with Alexis pressuring Mitchel to resign and Henley, the illegitimate competitor, lurking in the shadows.
For Katie, the timing couldnât be more critical.
Under normal circumstances, the Likelihood of her news making an impact might have been minimal, but now, the scales tipped significantly in her favor.
She believed that Mitchel, as a shrewd businessman, could not overlook the implications of their alliance.
The specter of internal conflict within a leading conglomerate could spell its doom, a predicament from which recovery might be impossible.
Mitchelâs refusal to enter into a business marriage left the fate of the situation hanging in the balance.
âMitchel⦠Katieâs voice softened, her appearance slightly amusing due to the mishap with the hit.
â
With a touch of affection, she continued, âI can support you.
The assistance I offer is significant.
Together, we can achieve greater successes than ever before.
â
Mitchel was silent for a moment and then offered a faint smile.
âKatie, itâs interesting how much you know about the affairs of the Dixon Group.
â
Katie felt a surge of panic but regained her composure swiftly.
âMy knowledge is for your protection.
I want to support you, Mitchel.
Please, donât get me wrong.
â
âKatie, you still donât grasp my values,â Mitchel responded, his gaze steady.
âIf success means sacrificing what I cherish, Iâd prefer defeat.
â
As Mitchel walked away, indifferent to her plea, Katieâs heart sank.
She truly couldnât comprehend him.
Despite the high Likelihood of swaying him, she had failed.
Right then, her phone buzzed.
Answering in a daze, she heard the anxious voice of a director from the Glyn Group.
âMiss Glyn, the Dixon Group has just announced on their official website the termination of the partnership regarding the Eastern Garden project, and theyâve returned all project funds at a three-to-one ratio.
â
The Eastern Garden was the Glyn Groupâs pioneering venture into a public stock participation model for housing, a scheme designed to generate profit without initial investment.
Katie had championed this project while serving as the Dixon Groupâs vice president, branding it as a collaboration between Glyn and Dixon.
Given that the Glyn familyâs influence in Ardlens paled in comparison to Dixonâs, garnering support for such an ambitious project was a feat that demanded substantial clout.
With the Dixon Group pulling out of the project, even at a significant loss to themselves, it sent shockwaves through the investor community, who saw this as an ominous sign.
The director conveyed the chaos, âInvestors are storming our offices, demanding their money back.
Whatâs our move?â
Katie, already at her witâs end, lashed out in fury.
âUse your head! Why are you bombarding me with questions? Just stall them for now!â
The director, voice trembling, responded, âIâve tried, but theyâre escalating matters.
Theyâve involved the police and reached out to the media, accusing us of engaging in false advertising and fraudâ¦â
This scandal threatened not only the current project but had the potential to tarnish the reputation of all Glyn family ventures.
The scale of the potential financial fallout was staggering.
Katie seethed at the thought of Raegan remaining untouched amid their last confrontation while Mitchel mercilessly dealt with her.
Her eyes flashed with malice.
âGive the list of those who are causing the most trouble to Abel.
â
