Chapter 24 Little Ripples Before A Storm

• The chaos inside Beaumont Group was palpable. Whispers echoed down the hallways, each one more exaggerated than the last. "Alex Beaumont poisoned? Is it true?" The news of Alex’s poisoning had spread like wildfire, not only among employees but also to the press. Cameras, microphones, and notebooks had flooded the building, all eager to capture any scrap of information about the billionaire and acting CEO of Beaumont Industries.
• But inside the office of John Alex’s best friend and president of the company, John Alex himself, there was a much more personal storm brewing.
• John sat slumped at his desk, his face buried in his hands, his shoulders shaking with grief. He was a man used to power, used to being the one to command attention, but now? He was just a mess of tears and emotions, his tough exterior crumbling under the weight of Alex’s sudden collapse.
