Chapter 1491:

“Exactly. The Hampton family has always been loyal to Mr. Schultz and the Schultz Group, especially Vicki. She was devoted to him, and now look at her… It’s truly tragic.”

«Mr. Schultz lacks appreciation. He is not aware of the internal discussions about our organization. They say our boss is a ruthless and heartless tyrant, and that employees are suffering..."

These conversations were based on outside perceptions. They were unaware of the situation and everyone assumed Jarrod was to blame. However, no one mentioned the numerous benefits Jarrod had provided the Hampton family over the years.

At that point, a different perspective emerged. “But isn't Vicki also problematic? I saw that video where she was with Jarrod's relative, this socialite called Doreen, and they were harassing someone together. His brother is even more despicable…”

"Did Vicki really go crazy because of that woman's provocation?" someone asked.

"Who's to say? We lack the full narrative. It is prudent to refrain from idle chatter as we might inadvertently help the opposition," said the person who raised the objection.

Alec, standing discreetly behind the meeting, wore a visibly worried expression. Unbeknownst to the others, he had clear insight. The Hampton and Schultz families were engaged in mutual exploitation, and Wayne was taking advantage of Jarrod's downfall to enhance his own reputation.

In the business world, fluctuations were common, with many experiencing both success and failure. However, what motivated Wayne to target Jarrod? It was Jarrod's obvious personal prowess that caught Wayne's attention. This affair reeked of a meticulously orchestrated plot, much to Alec's surprise.

All the rumors circulating outside could be traced back to the Hampton family. Even the incident of Vicki's alleged assault on Nicole had been turned into a narrative that presented Nicole as a relentless suitor who publicly challenged Vicki, providing her with convenient justification. Vicki, overwhelmed, finally escaped.

Alec couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the rumors. It seemed Wayne was determined to drag the Schultz Group down with him.

Although Alec had never harbored any animosity toward Vicki, he had never been particularly fond of her either. At first, Alec believed that associating with the Hampton family was advantageous, given their influence.

However, looking at their actions now, it seemed that abstaining from an alliance had been a fortuitous decision. Considering the shrewdness of the Hampton family, allying with them would likely lead to disloyalty and trouble for the Schultz Group in the future.

Alec cleared his throat and interrupted the employees' conversation in a firm, gravelly voice. "Get back to your duties. Anyone caught gossiping will face dismissal."

Fixing his gaze on the dissenting employee, Alec made a cold comment. “The Schultz Group does not coerce loyalty. If you wish to leave, do so now. Let us see if anyone stands in the way of your exit.”
