Chapter 456 Nicole, catching Alec's look of surprise, smirked.

Nicole revealed, "Mr. Schultz's arrest by the police is now streaming all over the internet. Starting now, the Schultz Group's stock is going to nosedive, and every project and subsidiary linked to the Schultz Group will take a massive hit. So, even if by some miracle Mr. Schultz dodges the charges, what then?" As Nicole's words sank in, Alec's expression grew stormier, while Nicole's smile shone even brighter.

In the gentlest voice, Nicole said the most cutting words, "By the time he gets out, the Schultz Group will be stuck in a hole it can't climb out of. All your hard work will just disappear. Just wait and see how my small tricks' bring down the giant Schultz Group!" Nicole had thought through every possible scenario, including what she'd do if her plan didn't work. That was why she made sure the media covered every detail of Jarrod's being investigated.

As the Schultz Group began to fall apart, with Jarrod

having made plenty of enemies, it was only a matter of time before he ended up alone and vulnerable. She just had to watch from the sidelines. Others would take care of him.

Financial crimes could lead to more than ten years in prison, but they weren't punishable by death.

Although Nicole believed Jarrod was responsible for her father's death, without direct action, the law couldn't touch him. She never wished for Jarrod's quick death. She wanted him to see his empire crumble around him. She wanted him to be crushed, to live a life that was worse than death. That was what she wanted for her revenge.

Alec, not expecting Nicole to be so informed, quickly went from mocking to looking at her with deadly seriousness. He warned, "If anything happens to Mr. Schultz, you'll regret it" ‘With that, Alec hurried off.

Nicole moved to the window to see Jarrod being led away, surrounded by flashing cameras. She breathed out a sigh

of relief. It wasn't a total loss. If all went well, Jarrod could be looking at more than ten years behind bars.

In ten years, Jarrod's empire would likely fall apart, and his name would be forgotten among the Ardlens. No matter what ended up happening to Jarrod, the Schultz Group was on a path to sure decline.

Unless the Hampton family went out of their way to save Jarrod, it was pretty much over for him. But it seemed unlikely the Hamptons would go to such lengths for Jarrod.

Downstairs, through the clear window of the car, Jarrod looked up, almost as if he knew Nicole was watching his downfall.
