Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

“Don't flatter yourself. I didn’t come back for you,” Alexis retorted, clearly
annoyed.

He then gestured to Mitchel and added, “Come with me.”

With that, Alexis headed to the study.

Once inside, Alexis flung a photograph at Mitchel and went straight to the point.
“You're divorced, I know. Tomorrow, I want you to meet Eloise, the only daughter
of the Benton family.”

“What do you mean?” Mitchel asked, puzzled.

Alexis looked at Mitchel sharply and replied, “What do I mean? You've been
messing around for two years. It's time for you to settle down for a marriage of
convenience.”

“I decline a marriage of convenience,” Mitchel stated firmly.

As if he had not heard what his son said, Alexis lit a cigar and pressed on, “The
Benton family’s new energy projects could boost our foreign market share by 70
percent. I'm quite pleased with it. The blind date is just a formality. You're
marrying her whether you like it or not.”

Mitchel walked to the window, flung it open to air out the cigar smoke, and replied
with a hint of sarcasm, “Well, if you're so pleased about it, why don’t you marry
her yourself? Did any of your mistresses have actually benefited the Dixon
family?

“You...” Alexis choked in anger and coughed violently. Once he recovered, he
slammed his fist on the table and asserted, “Mitchel, this isn’t up for discussion. If
you refuse to comply, you're no longer part of this family.”

Mitchel shot Alexis a steely gaze.

“I'm not discussing with you, either. Last I checked, I hold more shares than you.
You're in no position to kick me out. If I were you, I'd continue to live overseas
and stay out of the company’s affairs.”

Alexis’ anger subsided into a sneer.

“Your mother and grandfather really taught you well how to piss off your own
father.”

“I will take that as a compliment.”

At this moment, Alexis’ fury was palpable. He fixed his gaze on Mitchel and
asked with frustration, “Can’t you tell why I'm doing this? It's for the future of the
company! Think of your mother and grandfather.”

His voice started soft but grew increasingly forceful.

Mitchel’s expression turned even colder. He faced Alexis and pointedly asked,
“Are you really doing this for the family and the company?”

Alexis was stunned for a second and unconsciously averted his gaze.

“Yes, of course. This is all for you.”

A hint of mockery flashed across Mitchel's eyes. He had changed his mind. At
last, he sighed resignedly and said, “Fine, I'll go.”

Seeing Mitchel's change in attitude, Alexis’ demeanor softened, and he earnestly
said.

“You're my only son. Everything I do, I do for the Dixon family, especially
exploring the market.”
