Chapter: 2029
His countenance bore a mournful expression as he disclosed, "Our esteemed CEO, Mr. Mitchel Dixon, was confirmed to have passed away in an accident on December 9th."
The room buzzed with murmurs of shock.
Despite lingering hopes among many, the confirmation of Mitchel's demise, particularly given his youth, was difficult to grasp and filled the space with a palpable sense of sorrow.
Following the delivery of the official statement, the spokesperson concluded, "Now, I invite our acting Director, Mr. Alexis Dixon, to address you."
Assisted onto the stage, Alexis, dressed entirely in somber black and appearing frail and grief-stricken, addressed the audience.
Looking haggard and sorrowful, Alexis began, “Forgive me, everyone. I've been unwell recently and can only speak briefly. As many of you are aware, Mitchel was my most exceptional son, and I still find it difficult to accept his passing...”
Alexis paused to wipe away tears, his palpable sorrow evoking empathy from the audience.
His voice catching, he continued, "But now that the harsh reality has settled in, I believe it's time to confront the situation. Despite my son's passing, there is a hopeful development. Miss Katie Glyn is expecting his child. When the child is born, Miss Katie Glyn will officially assume the role of CEO of the Glyn Group, and we anticipate closer cooperation between our families moving forward."
Katie, adorned in a simple black Chanel gown and a pearl hat, embodying the sorrow of a widow, she gently wiped her tears as the camera shifted toward her.
Alexis continued, "To ensure the Dixon Group's seamless operation, the board decided yesterday that my younger son, Henley Dixon, will temporarily assume the role of CEO. With extensive experience in senior positions at top financial institutions on Wall Street, he is equally qualified. Inspired by his older brother, Henley is poised to lead the Dixon Group to new heights and uphold its legacy.”
Pride gleamed in Alexis' eyes as he spoke.
Confusion rippled through the attendees, transforming the press conference into what seemed like a commendation ceremony for Henley.
Alexis stifled a smirk with a slight cough before announcing, “Now, please welcome my son, Henley, to share a few words."
Henley's ascent, dressed in a tailored suit, showcased his striking and sophisticated presence.
Just as Henley was about to step onto the stage, a sudden interruption shattered the quiet atmosphere. "Wait!"
ALL heads turned toward the official entrance, where Raegan, clad in a crisp white blouse and black trousers, entered with flawless makeup and a vibrant demeanor.
Alexis' expression shifted uncomfortably as he reprimanded, "What are the security staff doing? Allowing any individuals to enter in this manner?"
As security staff moved in to escort Raegan out, they were obstructed by a team of hefty bodyguards in sunglasses, rendering the security staff overpowered.
Fuming, Alexis exclaimed, “What is this? Intentional disruption at the Dixon Group? Call the police!"
“Wait a moment!" Matteo stepped forward from the rear of the bodyguards. "Miss Foster is here to represent Mr. Mitchel Dixon."
