However, Mitchel remained calm, showing no surprise, as if he had long known his own fate.
âHector is back.
The empire wonât fall into the wrong hands,â he declared.
Hector was the most suitable choice to run the Dixon Group.
Even a non-blood son, Hector had been raised with great care.
This showed how much he valued Casey.
Naturally, he would do his utmost to take care of Raegan since Raegan was Caseyâs daughter.
Mitchel only made his decision after thorough consideration.
He knew the Dixon Group wouldnât decline under Hectorâs leadership.
Plus, he had already given a significant amount of shares to Raegan and Janey.
If Raegan ever wanted to take over management herself, she could certainly do so.
And if not, Hector would ensure they received their fair share of the profits.
Alexis was utterly astonished.
It appeared that Mitchel had arranged everything.
Even Hector, who was initially hesitant, had been swayed by him.
Hector was indeed more skilled than Alexis.
Hector simply wasnât interested in committing to the company before.
However, under his leadership, the Dixon Group was likely to do well.
This reduced the likelihood of Henley taking over the Dixon Group.
At this thought, a wave of anger surged through Alexis.
Meanwhile, Katie had been watching anxiously the whole time, casting worried glances at Alexis, trying to figure out what was being discussed.
She feared that after betraying Mitchel, if Alexis fell from power, she might be Mitchelâs next target.
But Alexis was too wrapped up in his own frustrations to pay Katie any attention.
He didnât consider his own predicament too serious, convinced his connections and wealth could fix everything.
He even pondered how he would clear his name once he was free.
Alexis wasnât scared in the slightest, confident that Henley was already working on a solution to his problems.
Unbeknownst to him, Henleyâs focus on the situation was not what Alexis expected.
Henley was racking his mind, figuring how to take advantage of Alexisâ predicament to his favor.
Alexis issued a chilling parting threat to Mitchel, âLetâs see who dies first!â
Then, he was led away by two police officers.
As Alexis departed, tranquility returned to the scene.
Mitchel stepped back onto the stage and addressed the gathering, âI apologize, everyone, this incident has disrupted the joyous atmosphere.
Please go along with the staff and make your way to the hotelâs banquet hall for the wedding feast.
â
It was clear to everyone that the wedding couldnât go on after such a disturbance.
After all, getting married simply involved obtaining a marriage certificate.
Holding a wedding ceremony was optional.
Following the commotion, Mitchelâs authority seemed even more solid and unchallenged.
The guests were not keen to stay after witnessing such a spectacle.
Staff swiftly moved to clear the venue.
The place fell silent, leaving only Katie on the stage, puzzled.
She wondered why all the guests had hurried out.
After all, they hadnât exchanged rings or completed the ceremony, and Mitchel hadnât even put on the groomâs boutonniére.
Katie hesitated to ask for clarification when she noticed Hector approaching Mitchel.
Her discomfort and anxious thoughts persisted.
She strained to listen to their conversation but the distance deterred her from making out any words.
Hector approached Mitchel and inquired, âWhat are you planning next?â
âHector, donât worry about tonightâs banquet.
Just mingle with the guests and guide them safely to the other building via the emergency exit.
