Chapter 469 The rooftop of Rhodes Corporation was over 50 stories high .


    Marcus stood at the edge , his expression shifting between confusion , anger , and frustration as his fists clenched tightly .


    He shouted , Why ? Why do all of you have to push me like this ? What did I ever do to deserve .


    this ? Ive given my life to thispany was that not enough ? His voice carried a mix of rage and despair , echoing in the wind .


    In his emotional outburst , Marcus lost his footing for a moment and nearly fell , causing gasps of horror to ripple through the gathering crowd below .


    Employees had rushed to the rooftop , forming a growing crowd , their fear and panic evident in their faces .


    Mr.


    Chapman , please step back ! Whatevers wrong , we can talk this through ! one of them pleaded .


    Marcus , what are you doing ? Weve worked side by side for thispany for years .


    Whatever it is , well face it together ! shouted another .


    Wheres Mr.


    Rhodes ? Why isnt he here yet ? If Mr.


    Chapman jumps , the consequences will be unimaginable ! Several hot headed employees noticed Michaels absence and became indignant .


    After all , Marcus was a veteran at Rhodes Corporation , single handedly running their most profitable pharmaceutical division .


    His critical position in thepany made Michaels absence all the more concerning to the gathered employees .


    Dont worry about me .


    Theres nothing left for me now .


    I might as well end it all ! Marcusughed bitterly , taking another step forward until half his foot hung over the edge .


    His unsteady figure swayed dangerously , and several employees screamed and covered their eyes , unable to watch .


    Everyone , please make way ! Andrews deep voice cut through the crowd as he pushed through , creating a path .


    Lauren and Eunice followed closely behind him .


    Ms.


    Rhodes is here ! Ms.


    Rhodes , please save Mr.


    Chapman before its toote ! Ms.


    Rhodes , Marcus has worked tirelessly for thispany for decades .


    If anything happens to him today , we , the veteran staff , will all resign ! Rhodes Corporation has gone too far ! Mr.


    Chapman has always been a gentle and understanding person something terrible must have driven him to this point .


    While youre here , wheres Mr.


    Rhodes ? The employees from the pharmaceutical division were especially vocal , and their frustration and anger were now directed at Lauren .


    Several senior employees had tears in their eyes , ring at her with both desperation and resentment .


    Eunice was visibly shaken .


    Since starting at Rhodes Corporation , she had never seen anyone  Chapter 469 dare confront Lauren like this .


    The scene made it clear that the employees outrage had reached a boiling point .


    Lauren maintained herposure and spoke firmly .


    Everyone , please stay calm .


    As Vice CEO of Rhodes Corporation , I promise youll get a satisfactory exnation for this .


    Then , she turned to Marcus and called out , Mr.


    Chapman , what are you doing ? Come down .


    and tell me whats wrong Ill make sure justice is served .


    Marcusughed bitterly .


    Its useless , all useless .


    My family is destroyed , my daughter is gone , and now Michael wants to take away my position too .


    He continued with anguish , Ive served Rhodes Corporation faithfully for 30 years 30 years ! Ms.


    Rhodes , ask your father was there ever a time I didnt give my all to thispany ?
