Chapter 1524 Apologize
Tamia stomped her foot in anger as she yelled, "You ungrateful bunch! You wouldn't have achieved anything without Camden!"
Lennox glanced at the terrified Landon and retorted, "I'm sure you've realized we're only staying for Mr. Camden's sake. With your children's capabilities... Landon is nothing but an ignorant scumbag, taking pleasure in young, beautiful women's company.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Alfred may have been smart once, but he's been raised to be incompetent. I've lived long enough to see through your games-you may fool others, but not us.
"Everything you've done has been about seizing power. Now that the Montclair Group is yours, you should clean up the mess."
His concluding remark cut deep like a knife. Overwhelmed with anger, Tamia could only point a shaky finger at the retreating figures wordlessly.
Just then, Landon came over and whispered, "What should we do, Mom? The Waldrons have stopped answering our calls."
"Look at these bastards running away! They sucked up to us upon learning Ophelia might seize the Whitmans' shares. But when trouble comes, they bury their heads in the sand!" Tamia gritted her teeth as a metallic taste filled her throat.
Consumed by fear, Landon suggested, "How about we take Mr. Camshron's advice and have Ophelia apologize to the Whitmans?"
Tamia shared the same thought. Rather than further embarrassing the whole family, it would be best for Ophelia to address the problem directly. With a glance at Ophelia, Tamia ordered her to offer an apology.
Ophelia was completely stunned, with tears seemingly crystallized on her face. She never expected her caring mother to suggest such a thing.
"Do you even realize what you're asking, Mom? What will the other ladies think of me if I apologize? The public will never forgive me!
"And why should I apologize when Landon is the one overseeing the company? As the CEO, he should've stepped up and fixed this mess..."
Tamia interrupted with a sharp slap that left Ophelia's face swollen. The unexpected blow silenced Ophelia, and she stared at Tamia in disbelief.
At that moment, she felt the weight of contempt in Tamia's eyes, as if she were worthless, with nothing to offer the family.
Tamia felt no remorse for her actions and snapped, 'What are you staring at? If you weren't so dumb, you could've seized the Whitmans' shares! You're a fool who can't even control your own husband. Go apologize immediately!
Tamia could not care less about Ophelia's feelings. In her eyes, a divorced daughter was nothing more than worthless.
"Get ready to record her apology video and upload it to the company's main account,' Tamia instructed. She intended to quell the public outrage with Ophelia's apology.
As long as the situation was resolved, Landon would remain safe regardless of any moral or legal violations. And with Alfred taking the blame, the Montclair family could have the chance to rise once more.
Landon was pleased with the arrangements, agreeing that Ophelia was the root of the chaos. He figured she must've filed a divorce out of sheer boredom
No one cared to listen to Ophelia as she was shoved in front of the camera like a puppet. All of a sudden, memories of her moments with Noah flooded her mind.
