Chapter 485 Alexis, seething with anger, lashed out with the metal corner of the folder in his hand, aiming it straight at Mitchel. This move caught everyone off guard.

Mitchel dodged smoothly, just tilting his head at the right moment.

Without missing a beat, Matteo sprang into action, grabbing Alexis’ arms and twisting them behind his back, then pinning him against the table. This belongs to NévelDrama.Org - ©.

Caught in a tight grip, Alexis exploded in rage, yelling at Mitchel, "You ungrateful brat, thinking of killing your own dad? I regret ever raising you, you disgraceful creature!" The room went silent as the shareholders watched, their expressions turning dark. Hearing Alexis lash out at his own son with foul words was too much, and it only made Alexis look more guilty.

Henley quickly intervened, urging in a low voice, "Dad, let's not do anything we'll regret!"

That was when Alexis caught himself, realizing he almost walked right into the trap set for him. If he denied all accusations, who could lay a finger on him? Seeing Alexis regain his composure, Henley turned his frustration toward Matteo, reprimanding. "Why are you disrespecting a director like this!" Matteo ignored Henley, his hold on Alexis unyielding.

Henley, visibly upset, clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to regain his calm. He then addressed Mitchel directly, "Mitchel, what's going on? He's our dad. Acting this way could turn the shareholders against us." Henley stressed our dad" to get under Mitchel's skin, twisting the story to make it look as though Matteo's protective move was Mitchel's display of disrespect for Alexis. Such an accusation was a serious charge.

Mitchel's lips curled into a slight smirk, his eyes dancing with sarcasm. "Matteo, let's show the shareholders what my dad has up his sleeve, shall we?" Matteo then stepped back, cueing up the presentation on

the large screen.

Before long, Alexis' voice filled the room. "Mr. Douglas, Mr.

Potter, Mr. Faulkner, if you back my son Henley and help him rise to power, you'll have your pick of our projects.

We'll go seventy thirty on the profits." Those three gentlemen Alexis addressed to didn't seem keen. The Dixon Group had a history of going twenty-eight, making the seventy-thirty split less appealing, especially with the risk of crossing Mitchel. They knew what Mitchel was capable of. His competence was not to be underestimated.

Alexis, seemingly unfazed, continued to leisurely pour himself a drink. "You'll get seventy, and the Dixon Group gets thirty." "What? Seriously?" Those three were astounded. Usually, the Dixon Group would take an eighty-twenty split in their favor.
