Even outnumbered, Jarrod could certainly prevail.

Alec's concern for Jarrod's safety was because of Nicole. From her perspective, she was akin to a lethal weapon. Regardless of Jarrod's claims about being cold to her, it hadn't even been a week, and they already rang hollow.

Alec was worried that Nicole might have hurt Jarrod.

“Tell me, Alec, how long have you been with me?” Jarrod's sudden question caught Alec off guard.

“Sixteen years, Mr. Schultz,” Alec replied.

“Sixteen years old…” Jarrod repeated quietly.

In the blink of an eye, Jarrod's gaze shifted to Alec's hand and without warning, he quickly lifted the window, gripping it tightly.

Alec won in agony and bit his tongue to stifle a cry of pain.

Alec knew it was Jarrod's way of disciplining him for overstepping his boundaries. He had broken one of Jarrod's rules and he accepted the consequences. However, he remained steadfast in his belief that he had done nothing wrong. He was a simple man, not one for schemes.

It wasn't until Jarrod spoke again that Alec felt a chill.

“No matter how long you have served at my side, if you ignore my orders and act on your own, even if you are capable, you are no more valuable than a rat in my eyes,” Jarrod’s icy voice declared.

Alec felt a wave of sadness wash over him as he absorbed the reprimand.

Alec had always held Jarrod in high regard. Yet despite his years of dedicated service, in Jarrod's heart he was still second only to Nicole.

Only when Alec's fingers had turned purple and black, numb to the point of losing all feeling, did Jarrod finally roll down the car window.

Alec tried to move his numb hand with the other.

"There will be no next time," Jarrod stated coldly.

Then the car drove away, leaving Alec kneeling on the ground, completely defeated.

Alec wondered if he had really made a mistake. Nicole, that ruthless woman, was hell-bent on leading Jarrod to his downfall.

Despite losing custody of her son, her determination remained unwavering.

Alec thought he had only intended to protect Jarrod from complications.

Why, even after everything, did Jarrod's feelings for Nicole persist?

Vicki of the Hampton family was certainly a better choice. She had shown her support for the Schultz Group and was totally devoted to Jarrod. In comparison, Nicole was totally ineffective.

Alec was torn between confusion and disbelief. One thing was clear.

He would stop at nothing to ensure that Jarrod came to no harm. If anyone dared to endanger Jarrod's well-being, he would not hesitate to take them on.
