Chapter 56

Penulis: Harlow
Jessica was just about to put down her cutlery in anger, but she held it in.

She could feel that Chris had changed. If it had been right after the divorce, after what happened today, Chris might have secretly bought a plane ticket and quietly left, instead of sitting down to talk with her like this.

“Chris, I know what your dream is, but don’t you think our relationship hasn’t fully healed yet? If you leave now, wouldn’t it be bad for both of us?”

Chris remained calm. “The reason our relationship hasn’t healed isn’t because of me. Going abroad to study won’t change me one bit. It’ll only give you time to really think.”

“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Jessica looked away and added a serving of potatoes to Chris’s plate. “Let’s eat first, Chris. I don’t want to argue with you.”

Fine—after so many failed attempts to leave, it seemed Jessica still couldn’t accept the idea of him going to study abroad. Now really wasn’t the right time.

Thinking of this, Chris smiled slightly.

    Indya's first impression of Blake, however, wasn't very good.After going upstairs, Maggie was already waiting by the elevator door and handed over the files to Indya, but before she could mention the meeting arrangements, Indya mumbled, “Is Jessica sure about this guy? He’s a man, but he looks prettier than a woman.”Maggie sized up Indya's displeased expression and thought it was probably her competitive spirit flaring up.There were more women than men in the Wilder Group.Jessica insisted that women must be delicate and beautiful, especially women in the workplace, so she required that everyone come to work well made-up and never sloppy.Not to mention Indya's position.She prided herself on her beauty, matching Jessica in every detail.Now even a man could look better than her—what kind of world was this?Maggie said, “You're usually too busy to watch TV or films, but Blake is a super star in the entertainment industry. Let alone our newly established entertainment departm

    Actually, even Nina couldn't be this tough.The entertainment industry was very complicated. Sometimes, during business gatherings, if the sponsors especially asked for some people to keep them company, Nina would find a few celebrities who were willing to take the job.No companies would completely refuse to arrange for celebrities to accompany others.Jessica never bowed to anyone.She could allow the artists under her to be mediocre, to miss opportunities because they refused to follow the rules, but at least, no one under her would be treated unfairly.They were all women, and what Jessica could do was to hold up a protective shield for them.Because of this approach, it unexpectedly caused quite a stir, and the biggest wave was the joining of the top celebrity, Blake Somerfield.Blake had been discovered by a talent scout and entered the Hall Group's entertainment department at the age of 13, debuting after several transitions and becoming a super star after 15 years.All

    “So, are you here today to show off or what?” asked Jessica, a bit puzzled.“No, actually, I wanted to ask you if you were interested in... bringing down the Hall family together with me.”That evening, Jessica did indeed come home early. Chris, unusually, didn't look over any patient files. The two of them sat together, as they ate and watched a film, but Jessica was clearly distracted.Halfway through the film, Chris suddenly paused it.“What's wrong?” Jessica perked up. “I'm fine, just a little tired.”Chris stared into Jessica's eyes.Maybe because she had come to realize her feelings for Chris, she knew that when two people in love lied to each other, it caused anxiety and their eyes would involuntarily avoid eye contact.At that moment, Jessica didn't dare meet Chris's gaze.Chris gently lifted her chin and turned her face back. “What's really going on?”Jessica sighed and leaned back, sinking into the sofa.“Just after you took me to work at noon and left, that black M

    After lunch, Chris wanted to first take Jessica back to the Wilder Group, then head back to the hospital himself.While waiting at a traffic light, Jessica said, “Actually, finding the will is very important to us. We can trace the people behind the Hall family.”Chris said, “Then where do you think such an important thing could be kept by Sir Hall? Did Sir Hall really have no one he particularly trusted? Didn’t Jaden’s mother have any relatives?”According to Jessica’s investigation, there were none.But... the exact situation still needed to be asked of Jaden.“Let’s not worry about others for now, think about ourselves. We’ve both been too busy lately. We even have to squeeze in time for lunch. When will this ever end?”Jessica said, “The Montvue Tower project will start soon. Once it gets on track, it’ll be fully handed over to Maggie and her team. Then I’ll have some free time. How about you?”“The patient’s condition was worse than we thought. From the scans, it’s still no

    Lynsey wasn’t very pleased.“In your eyes, your son is just your possession, something to be used. So now that your son is using you, you’re unhappy?”Thomas had originally worried that Michael was after the Hall family’s inheritance and had always been on guard. He never expected that Michael didn’t care about the Hall family at all.One Aitairy was worth thousands upon thousands of Hall Families.With Aitairy in his hands, it was no wonder Michael never paid attention to the Hall family’s matters. Previously, he used Jessica to return to the Hall family, but from the start, his core target was Jessica.Thomas paced anxiously before finally sitting back down in front of Lynsey.“It’s not like we don’t know what kind of person that guy is. Besides, Dad had an illegitimate son. According to the old man’s will, the illegitimate son is the rightful heir.”Sir Hall had forcibly changed the will for Michael, even hiding it outside.No one had found the will’s location until now.Ac

    “The price for Montvue Tower had already been settled, and now they were just waiting for the signatures. I thought we should hurry and sign before Michael completely turned the Hall family upside down,” said Indya.“How did the Bureau of Land Management respond?”“The land was already planned long ago, they didn’t care. The Geological Survey did ask if we could conduct geological monitoring on the back mountain of Montvue Tower, but that was a matter for after signing.”“Alright then, Montvue Tower must be secured within this month. The project team will be formed immediately. Maggie, you’re in charge.”“Yes.”Until noon, Jessica was looking forward to having lunch with Chris at the Wilder Group, especially since they were both working.It was quite a new experience.Previously, Chris always waited for her in the office.Shannon had long since ordered their favorite dishes, set to be delivered to the CEO’s office exactly at 12.20. Shannon was arranging the table.“I’ve alread
