His words stirred the crowd.

On behalf of the Dixon family... What did that imply?

Past incidents within the company had been shielded to protect the Dixon reputation.

Though kept secret, rumors had circulated, leaving many at the venue unaware of Henley's true connection to the Dixons.

The crowd murmured, puzzled about how Henley could represent the Dixon family.

On stage, Mitchel's face showed displeasure. Henley and Alexis, along with some shareholders, had been explicitly barred from the event.

Yet, here they were, invitations in hand.

Mitchel turned to Katie, standing next to him in her white gown. His statement was not a question but a declaration. "You issued the invitations to them."

Taken aback by Mitchel's astuteness, Katie felt her heart pound and her fingers tense. Indeed, at Henley's request, she had covertly distributed invitations under the guise of the bride to all relevant shareholders.

Yet, Katie kept up her charade, unwilling to admit. "Mitchel, I don't know what you're talking about..."

“Interesting!" Mitchel scoffed, turning away with —_ apparent indifference to Katie's explanations or actions.

Choked by his dismissive glance, Katie found herself speechless, her face struggling to maintain composure.

With the situation unfolding as it was, Katie decided to abandon her pretense. After all, Mitchel's downfall was imminent, and she would soon dictate how he was perceived.

On stage, Henley stood confidently, his lips curling into a slight, proud smile. Today, he planned to avenge past humiliations and ensure Mitchel experienced a dramatic fall from grace. "As a member of the Dixon family, I have a few words to say."

Henley's declaration caused further unrest among the crowd. From representing the Dixons, Henley now claimed to be one of them. What a mess!

The audience buzzed with mixed reactions, but Mitchel's expression remained unfazed.

Katie glanced at Mitchel, momentarily surprised by his composed demeanor. However, her surprise was short-lived, as she relished the unfolding drama, particularly thinking of Raegan, who she imagined was watching from somewhere hidden. The thought brought her a perverse delight.

Katie had chosen not to provoke Raegan earlier, anticipating this very moment. Moreover, Mitchel had assigned someone to monitor her, restricting her movements. How else could she have missed such a prime opportunity to antagonize Raegan?

Yet, it seemed Mitchel was unaware of Raegan's return.

Observing Mitchel's calm demeanor, Katie reflected on the so-called punishment he had imposed on Raegan. He simply sent Raegan abroad and banning the latter from returning to Ardlens.
