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 Katieâs scheme, having his assistant covertly support Laurenâs and Tessaâs efforts, which proved quite effective.
Lauren and Tessa were far from being decent, and the scheme went without a hitch.
After Raeganâs 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 didnât bother to look into the so-called death of his assistant, assuming his assistant wouldnât dare to trick him, and was delighted to have fortune on his side.
However, Alexis was unaware of his assistantâs cunning nature.
Having foreseen Alexisâ intent to kill him after having him do the dirty work, the assistant wittingly kept the evidence of Alexisâ 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.
âs BunnyBookery Just then, Alexis seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming, âSo you knew Katie was involved, yet you still married her! What are you playing at?â
Mitchel responded with a frosty chuckle, âWhat do you think?â
Alexis was shocked.
He belatedly realized the depth of Mitchelâs cunning.
Before, he would scoff at the praise of Mitchelâs 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 âDarinâ 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 wasnât a true Dixon, all to give Henley a sense of identity and pride in belonging.
But now, it seemed pointless.
âMitchel, you really are unruly and ungrateful!â Alexis snapped.
Mitchelâs response was frosty.
âYou should be thinking about the punishment that awaits you for all the harm youâve caused, the lives youâve destroyed.
Alexis, your days are numbered.
And your son, whom youâve defended so fiercely? Iâll ensure he never succeeds.
â
Alexisâ lips turned pale, and he shook as he accused, âYou! Youâre so cruel!â
âIs it cruel to retaliate when you wantonly trample on othersâ lives?â
Mitchel raised an eyebrow.
âYou should realize Iâm just setting things right.
Itâs nothing compared to what youâve done.
â
âWhyâ¦â Alexis was livid.
âDonât you know youâre soon to meet your end? Why go this far? I raised you, yet youâd prefer the Dixon Group fall into anotherâs hands rather than mine?â
Alexis believed he had unearthed a shocking revelation.
