Chapter 2440: Chapter 2447

“Sir, Wayne’s been dispatched, yet his persistence remains formidable.

Moreover, the rumors circulating originate from the Hampton family.

”

Alec reported.

“Alright,” Jarrod replied without diverting his gaze from the computer screen.

Alec lingered, torn between voicing his thoughts and remaining silent.

Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, Alec ventured, “Shall we simply allow the rumors to proliferate?”

“Have you devised a superior strategy then?” Jarrod raised an eyebrow.

“They’re not disseminating accurate information! This tarnishes our company’s reputation, and it’s eroding the confidence of our employees…” Alec lamented.

“This presents an opportunity,” Jarrod stated calmly.

Perplexed, Alec inquired, “What do you mean?”

Jarrod’s gaze shifted from the monitor as his slender fingers rhythmically tapped the desk.

“We can seize this moment to purge our internal ranks, eliminating any ties to the Hampton family.

”

Alec’s comprehension dawned suddenly.

Over time, the Schultz and Hampton families had collaborated on numerous projects, raising the possibility that certain employees had clandestinely accepted bribes from the Hampton family or engaged in collusion with them.

This presented the ideal chance to remove all employees associated with the Hampton family.

This was an important task.

“And what’s the plan regarding the Hampton family?” Alec asked.

“They had squandered their opportunity, failing to seize it.

”

Jarrod’s countenance exuded an icy, uncompromising demeanor.

“Since this is the case, I shall address our internal issues foremost.

Subsequently, there shall be no need to entertain any other considerations.

”

“Understood, sir.

You’re in charge.

” Alec affirmed, his confidence bolstered.

Jarrod’s words assuaged his concerns.

Alec held Jarrod in high regard.

After all, in all the years of following Jarrod, he had never witnessed a misstep.

While emotional matters might not be Jarrod’s forte, Jarrod consistently made astute business decisions.

“Oh, sir, there’s one more thing…” Alec hesitated, reluctant to depart.

“What is it?” Jarrod inquired.

“I encountered your wife at the hospital, attending to the woman who resembles her, the one known as Melissa at the club.

It appears Melissa has attempted to take her own life.

”

Jarrod maintained his stoic expression, prompting Alec to speculate that he might be displeased.

Recalling Jarrod’s prior warning against trailing Nicole, Alec hastened to clarify, “I wasn’t tailing your wife.

I coincidentally encountered her at the hospital.

I was receiving treatment for a stomachache.

”

Jarrod responded with a silent nod.

Alec, feeling uneasy, added, “And there’s another matter.

.

”

Impatiently, Jarrod interjected, “Spit it out.

”
