Love Unbreakable

Chapter 484

Katie was taken aback for a moment, lapsing into silence.

Luciana said earnestly, "Katie, I do trust you without any doubts, but Mitchel is adamant that nothing happened between you two. He insists he's not involved with you at all. It's quite perplexing. I'm struggling to understand who's mistaken here..."

"Luciana, I swear I haven't lied to you!" Katie added emphatically. "This child is Mitchel's, without a doubt!"

The conversation reached an impasse as Luciana pondered aloud, "With both of you so firm in your stances, I want to support you, but I'm at a loss without even knowing how far along you are..."

"I'm three and a half months pregnant!" Katie let slip before she could stop herself and instantly regretted revealing this so soon. She had intended to keep this under wraps a bit longer.

To Katie's relief, Luciana reacted positively. "Katie, I knew you wouldn't deceive me. You've always been trustworthy. You have my full backing!"

Feeling a wave of relief, Katie voiced a plea, "Luciana, please keep the month of my pregnancy between us for now. I'm concerned Mitchel might press for drastic measures if he finds out too soon."

"You have my word. I won't bring it up." Luciana reassured Katie, her voice firm with conviction. "Mitchel wouldn't dare. If he tries anything, I'll stand against him!"

Katie responded with a thankful smile, "Thank you, Luciana."

Katie then switched topics, showing concern for Luciana's wellbeing. "How's your migraine been? You might be running low on medication. Shall I bring you some more?"

"That would be wonderful, my dear. I was just thinking I needed more." Luciana seemingly appreciated the gesture. "I'll bring it over tomorrow." Katie concluded the call, barely concealing her triumphant smile. With Luciana on her side, she felt confident in her marrying Mitchel. It seemed to her that Mitchel was cornered, with no escape available.

In the Dixon Group, the internal investigation took a pivotal turn as they unveiled their key evidence, meticulously documenting every transaction Mitchel had authorized, suggesting a conflict of interest with the Glyn Group.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mitchel faced the allegations with a composed silence, even as the investigation suggested his withdrawal from the Eastern Garden project was driven by personal vendettas and romantic entanglements rather than business acumen. Mitchel's response was marked by a stoic calm, refraining from justifying his actions or countering the claims made against him.

The drama escalated as Alexis stepped forward, feigning regret over the unfolding events while simultaneously shining a light on Henley's contributions to the Dixon Group.

The underlying motive behind Alexis' actions was transparent, yet Henley's achievements, despite being commendable, could not eclipse the legacy of success Mitchel had established at the Dixon Group.

While the accusations appeared grave, they did little to shake the financial stability of the Dixon Group, leaving the shareholders in a state of uncertainty about demanding Mitchel's resignation.

Sensing the need to sway the opinion decisively, Alexis introduced a dramatic twist. "Gentlemen, there's an additional revelation that demands our attention, a handwritten letter from our founder, Kyler Dixon."

The atmosphere tensed immediately, recognizing the significant weight Kyler's words would carry, even posthumously.

Alexis produced a letter, solemnly declaring it contained Kyler's will that Henley be formally recognized as a member of the Dixon lineage after a three-year period of mourning, renamed as Henley Dixon.

This announcement sent shockwaves through the room. Kyler's personal endorsement of Henley had the power to influence the traditionalists within the company.

Some senior shareholders, who had been vocally critical and had always seen Mitchel as the rightful heir, looked at Henley with skepticism.

Yet, the unveiling of this letter visibly altered the dynamics, even Henley's demeanor shifted, reflecting the significance of this moment for him. Henley had long awaited such recognition, and with it, he planned to slowly take control of the Dixon Group and remove Mitchel from its legacy entirely.

Alexis couldn't contain his inward glee at the shareholders' reaction. He was convinced that with a bit of time, the company and its stakeholders would adapt to this news, signaling Mitchel's inevitable downfall.

Strategically positioning himself as the voice of reason, Alexis proposed, "I believe I've made my point. It's not my place to sway your judgment further. Let's meet again in three days and decide based on a collective reflection." Alexis' suggestion was a calculated maneuver, designed to corner Mitchel into a position of vulnerability, especially with Katie and Luciana adding to his pressure.

Mitchel remained stoic, his face a mask of impassivity, as the room's atmosphere grew cold with tension.

The once-hidden fissures within the Dixon family were now exposed, compelling the shareholders to declare their allegiances. Alexis' move was clearly aimed at convincing the undecided.

Witnessing the shift in the room's sentiment buoyed Alexis' confidence. With a commanding tone, he concluded the meeting. "We shall adjourn for now."

As everyone began to stand up, Mitchel's voice halted everyone in their tracks. "Wait a moment."

The authority in Mitchel's tone was undeniable, prompting everyone to swiftly resume their seats, a reflexive response to his leadership.

Alexis, curious, wondered what Mitchel was poised to reveal.

Mitchel, with an icy demeanor, inquired, "Is that everything?"

Alexis confidently responded, "Yeah."

"Then, I have a few things to add," Mitchel announced, his finger rhythmically tapping on the table, signaling the entrance of Matteo along with several individuals.

Alexis' smug expression faded instantly, replaced by concern as he turned to Mitchel, his tone laced with accusation. "What are you scheming?"

Mitchel, nonchalantly spinning a pen, retorted without even granting Alexis a glance, "I believe you're acquainted with these gentlemen."

Alexis hastily refuted, "I don't recognize them!"

But one of the newcomers contradicted, "How could you forget me, Alexis? Weren't you the one who referred us to Miss Glyn for the Dixon Group projects? You assured us she could guarantee our success in securing bids."

Another added, "Right! That's what you told us!"

Alexis paled, vehemently denying. "That's absurd. I've never met any of you, never!"

However, another voice joined the chorus, challenging Alexis' denial. "But, Alexis, you introduced me to Miss Glyn at the Ardlens International Charity Gala two years ago. Why deny it now? Mr. Hammond from the Prosperous Group was present. He witnessed your introduction. You can't refute that!"

Reluctant to admit it, the man found himself cornered. To deny these allegations would risk significant credibility and financial repercussions. Moreover, Mitchel's move, though aggressive, wasn't compelling him toward any unlawful admissions but rather to acknowledge the truth.

The room buzzed with murmurs and speculation as the shareholders absorbed the unfolding drama. Alexis, now visibly shaken and enraged, accused Mitchel of betrayal, "You conniving little snake! You're setting me up!"
