"Mitchel, I'm aware of the struggles within the Dixon Group. Henley might dominate the foreign trade routes, but my Glyn family commands a substantial influence there as well. If you just acknowledge our relationship and recognize our child, the Glyn family will back you unconditionally. With your expertise, challenging Henley for supremacy in the foreign trade sector and achieving an equitable share is within reach." As Katie spoke, her thoughts began to align, her grip on Mitchel's arm loosening as her words flowed more smoothly.

“Have you thought about what turning against the Glyn family might cost you? The Dixon Group harbors many who oppose you, and you're surely aware of the traps being set for you," 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 couldn't 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.

Mitchel's refusal to enter into a business marriage left the fate of the situation hanging in the balance.

“Mitchel... Katie's voice softened, her appearance slightly amusing due to the mishap with the hit."

With a touch of affection, she continued, “I can support you. The assistance I offer is significant. Together, we can achieve greater successes than ever before."

Mitchel was silent for a moment and then offered a faint smile.

“Katie, it's interesting how much you know about the affairs of the Dixon Group."

Katie felt a surge of panic but regained her composure swiftly. "My knowledge is for your protection. I want to support you, Mitchel. Please, don't get me wrong."

"Katie, you still don't grasp my values," Mitchel responded, his gaze steady. “If success means sacrificing what I cherish, I'd prefer defeat."

As Mitchel walked away, indifferent to her plea, Katie's heart sank.

She truly couldn't 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. "Miss Glyn, the Dixon Group has just announced on their official website the termination of the partnership regarding the Eastern Garden project, and they've returned all project funds at a three-to-one ratio."

The Eastern Garden was the Glyn Group's 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 Group's vice president, branding it as a collaboration between Glyn and Dixon.

Given that the Glyn family's influence in Ardlens paled in comparison to Dixon's, 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.
