Chapter 114

Vanderbilt Group's headquarters was buzzing with an air of tension. [Mr. Vanderbilt is in a bad mood today. Everyone, keep your heads down.] Within five minutes, the message had spread across all the company's major group chats.

The most troubled by this news were the senior executives. Unlike the mid- and lower-level employees, they had to deal directly with Dominick. If they handled things poorly, the consequences could be much worse than embarrassment-losing their jobs was a real possibility.
