Destitute and likely harboring a deep-seated hatred for Jarrod, Deniz fit the old saying well. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It was such a principle as old as commerce itself.
Mr. Hampton, I heard youve been unwell lately, so I came to check on you, Deniz said obsequiously as he handed a bag of health supplements to the servant.
To Deniz, Lowe now stood as a vital pillar of support, a potential lifeline to reclaim his business and restore his standing in Ardlens.
Mr. Miller, youre too kind. Im not seriously ill, Lowe responded.
What brings you to see me?
Deniz smiled and said, I heard youve recently had some disagreements with Mr. Schultz from the Schultz Group.
Lowe had his own ideas, never one to reveal his full hand too early.
With a forced smile, Lowe responded, Deniz, whered you hear that? Jarrod is my future brother-in-law. We had just some casual chatter. Were family at the end of the day.
Lowes words prompted Deniz to get straight to the point.

.
Deniz, feeling a jolt, shot up from his seat. Lowe, Jarrods ambitious. Remember what he did to the Lawrence family?

Everyone knew Nicole came from the Lawrence family. The Lawrence family had a history with the Schultzes. When Jarrod returned years ago, he absorbed the Lawrence familys enterprises, even trapping Nicole around his side to humiliate her. It was no wonder Nicole loathed Jarrod.
Lowe, seasoned in wealth, chose to play dumb. Whats the Lawrence matter got to do with me? Ambitions not a bad thing in a future brother-in-law.
Deniz, seething, couldnt believe Lowe, once a carefree playboy, now employing such cunning. It was like pulling teeth getting him to spell it out. It appeared Lowe had picked up Jarrods cunningness after spending so much time with Jarrod.
But considering his current situation, Deniz grasped he couldnt confront Lowe. Even if Lowe was lacking, Lowe still had his fathers support, while he had nothing left. His last shot at returning to Ardlens depended on this. Ardlens meant a lot to him since all his roots and connections were there.
Deniz decided to speak his mind. Since Jarrod had managed to absorb the Lawrence familys enterprises, have you considered that perhaps his upcoming marriage with your sister is just a ploy? Maybe his true intention is to absorb the Hampton familys empire. After all, he suffered significant losses this time, and returning to the peak of the Schultz Group wont be easy.
Lowe responded calmly, Deniz, youre overthinking it. If Jarrod wants to acquire the Hampton familys empire, he has my father to deal with, and you know my old man is no ordinary man.
Knowing Wayne had paved his way in the cutthroat business world, he wouldnt be naive.
If Jarrod aimed to swallow the Hampton familys empire, Wayne must have some leverage over Jarrod, keeping him in check.
Lowe, lets be frank. Your father isnt getting any younger, and accidents can happen to anyone Seeing Lowes expression darken, Deniz hastily clarified, Im mot cursing your father. Im simply pointing out that when dealing with Jarrod, treading carefully is crucial. Look at my situation. Im a native of Ardlens, yet I cant even return, hiding around like a rat.
Deniz, acting instincts kicked in with tears glistening, bitterly said, Whys this happening to me? I just wanted to make out with Nicole, and hes done this to me.
Lowe consoled, Deniz, youve been through a lot. I felt Jarrod was wrong to act that way over a woman.
Feeling a sense of connection, Deniz quickly added, I heard Jarrod has a history with you, all because of Nicole.
Lowe remained silent, offering no reply.
Deniz persisted, Lowe, you see, I just want to come back to Ardlens. Were on the same side in dealing with Jarrod.
