Chapter: 102
"That will depend on your cooperation, Alan. When will you allow me to start at Hewitt Group?”
The struggle was for control.
Miguel craved dominance. Gaining a foothold in Hewitt Group would allow him to establish his influence, posing a continual threat to Alan.
Alan mulled over the idea. “If you're interested, head over to Rozand."
The Hewitt Group was a conglomerate with numerous subsidiaries, many of which were in disarray. If he was so eager to get a job at the Hewitt Group, Alan didn't mind sending Miguel to handle those challenging situations.
Miguel held his peace. Within a single evening, he had managed to embarrass Alan and seize control of several companies-a clear victory for him.
“Thanks, Alan. I'll have my team take over by tomorrow. I trust everything will be in order?" Miguel said as he moved away in his wheelchair.
Alan gave Lilliana a sharp look. "Get out. And don't show your face at these gatherings ever again."
Lilliana collapsed to the floor, yet a wave of relief washed over her.
She dreaded Miguel's ongoing threats more than Alan's contempt.
News from the Hewitt Group's gala quickly dominated the headlines.
Miguel was undoubtedly orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
The scandal wasn't just about Alan's secret marriage. It also highlighted the bitter conflict between Alan and Miguel.
Miguel was portrayed as a victim, while Alan appeared as a merciless tycoon determined to control the family empire at all costs.
The negative press about Alan swamped the Internet, overwhelming the PR team that scrambled to manage the fallout.
Kaitlin frowned upon seeing the onslaught of negative coverage online.
She knew this would inevitably impact Oasis Jewelry, and she had to respond swiftly.
Three Drops, sensing the unrest, reached out with a note of concern.
“Hey, need some help from the bots?"
“Yes! Just keep Oasis Jewelry's image clean. Steer clear of the Hewitt Group mess," Kaitlin replied promptly.
Three Drops paused before saying, "Did you really divorce Mr. Hewitt? I can't believe you married such a big shot."
Kaitlin rolled her eyes. If she hadn't been tied to Alan, her career might have soared already.
What had she been thinking all those years? She must have lost her mind.
“Stop the chatter. You'll get your part once we finish the job," she stated firmly.
