Chapter 76
“After the former general manager of the Innovate Group, Wyatt Bretherton, demonstrated by jumping from the building of the company’s branch at Westerfield, his two sons went as far as using firearms and other criminal threats to target the group. Now, the heirs of the Bretherton family, Randall Bretherton and Isaac Bretherton, have been arrested and may be sentenced to more than 30 years…”
At that moment, the large screen of the TV in the VIP hospital room was broadcasting a live news conference.
Stephanie sat on the edge of the bed, her face reflecting a mix of emotions as she watched the TV screen.
The reporters were eagerly asking questions, “it’s heard that the sole heir of the third generation of the Wellington family had suddenly assumed the CEO position at the Innovate Group three months ago, causing dissatisfaction among many senior executives. And now, with the Bretherton family incident directly impacting the group’s stock price, will the board of directors consider reflecting on this and avoid such situations in the future?”
“The incident has indeed affected the group, but we will absolutely not make any compromises due to such malicious threats!” the current vice president of the Innovate Group answered solemnly in front of the camera, also displaying the assertive attitude of the current leaders.
This was indeed Dominick’s style.
“Wyatt worked for the Innovate Group for over 30 years and had delivered outstanding performance. His sudden resignation and subsequent suicide shrouded in mystery…
“It’s said that Wyatt’s two sons are both elites from international renowned schools. Considering Wyatt’s past contributions, will the group consider pleading for a reduced sentence for them in court…
A female reporter was visibly agitated as she loudly questioned, “The current CEO of the Innovate Group is solely focused on personal gain, ruthlessly oppressing long–time employees. Is this really the corporate culture a global international company should have?”
Stephanie felt inexplicably annoyed as she listened to the noise from the TV.
Most people sympathized with the Brethertons, viewing them as the underdogs, while Dominick was clearly seen as the ruthless wolf trapping and eliminating them.
Stephanie picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
She then sat on the bed with a somewhat grave expression, murmuring the familiar name, “Dominick…”
Stephanie wondered, ‘What kind of person Dominick really is?‘
Her gaze was complex as she looked around the spacious VIP hospital room. There was no one else here, only herself, and outside the door stood four burly bodyguards because Dominick would not let her leave.
Stephanie thought, ‘Dominick is very dominant. He is a very…dangerous person.”
Suddenly, a noisy argument erupted outside the room. “I want to go in. Let me go insidet
“I’m begging you. Please, just let me talk to her for a bit… I swear I won’t hurt her. I just want to talk…
It sounded like a middle–aged woman’s voice, and that unfamiliar voice was trembling weakly as she repeatedly pleaded.
Soon after, the cold, stern voice of a bodyguard came through with a warning “Please leave immediately!”
The woman’s voice grew tense as she shouted, Mrs. Wellington, please, come out for a moment. We just want to apologize…”
