Harming My People As Mitchel spoke, he extended his hand to hold Raegan's hand.
Thinking it wasn't appropriate for her to stay here when they quarreled, she managed to shake Mitchel's hand off and walked
away.
But then, Mitchel's grip tightened.
It seemed he wanted her to stay and witness the scene.
Their clasped hands ignited something in Alexis ‘heart.
He could not believe his son would upset the Benton family and forsake the lucrative project for a woman like Raegan.
To him, Raegan was merely a beauty from a humble background, doing no favors for the family business.
"If you've got something to say, just say it.
I] need to rest,” Mitchel calmly said.
Struggling to contain his anger, Alexis asked, "Why did you fire Carsen?" "He abused his position for personal gain and colluded
with external parties.
The evidence was irrefutable,” Mitchel explained.
"But it was just minor information he sold.
In a company this big, he’s not only the one doing such things!" Mitchel cast a cold glance at Alexis and vowed, "I'll find out all of
them, and 1 won't spare any of them.” "How dare you! Those veterans have been with me since the beginning, and they’re
nearing retirement.” Alexis shot daggers at Mitchel and snorted, "Did you even consult me before firing them? How dare you
disregard my position!" Mitchel sneered, and his laughter added a chill to the air.
"And when have you ever asked me before harming my people?” "Who have I harmed?" Alexis asked, taken aback.
Without even sparing him a_= glance, Mitchel dismissively said, "You should leave now.
Don't bother us anymore." His emphasis on “us” was deliberate.
It was only that that Alexis realized that by "my people,” Mitchel was referring to Raegan.

Well, it was not surprising that Alexis didn’t take Raegan seriously.
In his eyes, Raegan was an ex- daughter-in-law with no significant status and not someone he felt compelled to curry favor with.
This realization fueled his fury.
The fact that Mitchel had dismissed his informants in the company just for Raegan irked him.
Moreover, those informants who had been working for Alexis for years were never a concern to Mitchel previously.
But now, Mitchel fired them as a tool for intimidation.

Unable to contain his anger, Alexis pointed accusingly at Raegan and snarled, "It seems that what I said to you that day went in
one ear and out the other.
You ignored my words and came back to stir trouble! You're not just shameless.
You're cunning! Let me warn you.
Kyler's condition is failing.
Once he's gone, I'll never let someone like you marry into the Dixon family.
You'd better give up the idea of remarrying Mitchel!" Raegan, who was already eager to leave here, grew paler with Alexis’

hand, wanting to hit her. Slap! The sound of a slap echoed sharply. Raegan shut her eyes tight and braced for the impact. Yet, to her surprise, she felt no pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mitchel had stepped in and shielded her from the blow. Alexis stood there,

that slap. At the thought of this, his eyes turned cold. While striking back at his father was not an option, he was not without recourse. Right in front of Alexis, Mitchel dialed a number and rattled off a list of names. "Investigate these individuals thoroughly. If you find any wrongdoing, transfer the case to the prosecutor's office and press charges.” Alexis' complexion drained of color. The individuals Mitchel targeted for investigation were Alexis’ confidants. This move by Mitchel was a clear signal of his way of getting back. It

retorted.
"This is the final warning.
Don't hurt my people.
More importantly, don't speak ill of her, not to mention insult her.
If you push me further, jail will be the least of your worries!" Mitchel's threat was stark and unmasked.
He made sure Raegan heard it.
Alexis was boiling with rage, feeling a_ sharp, throbbing pain in his chest.

as you refrain from acting recklessly, I can guarantee you a peaceful retirement." Mitchel's implication was clear. If Alexis crossed the line, particularly with Raegan, Mitchel would not hesitate to act, even if it meant throwing his father in jail. "How dare you!" Alexis

two bodyguards at the door. Don't let anyone like him come in." Alexis could hardly believe what he was hearing. Mitchel was targeting him. That was exactly what he had said moments earlier. But now, his own words were being used against him.
