Originally, Chris was already in a bad mood after what had happened, and then seeing Ben come with gifts made Chris feel even more annoyed.Seeing Ben’s unrepentant attitude, Chris lost his sleepiness, took a shower, changed clothes, and started reading.After becoming the honorary chairman, Chris truly felt that time was really insufficient.Besides seeing patients who registered every day, he also had to handle many miscellaneous matters, including the issue with Ben.It seemed that Ben didn’t just bring gifts to Chris, for several consecutive days, people came to see Chris, trying to persuade the hospital to let Ben off.After all, the patient’s family no longer pursued the matter, and the hospital had paid Ben a considerable humanitarian compensation.The patient’s family had indeed spent quite a lot on the old man’s treatment over the years.Now that the hospital had paid compensation, they said nothing more and took the old man’s body home.Some people thought that since

Chris closed the book.“If I had known, I would have invited Roy over for dinner today. You all could’ve chatted together—I forgot.”Before Jessica could speak, Indya interrupted abruptly.“No, no, no. I have nothing to say to Roy. If you invite him, I won’t come.”Chris was puzzled.Was there some grudge between Roy and Indya?Hearing this, Shannon laughed.A few years ago, when Indya had just joined the company, the PR team wasn’t fully formed yet, so he handled many things personally.Several times during business dinners, someone had made unwanted advances toward him.Indya’s couldn’t tolerate it, so she fought back.Coincidentally, Roy was involved in those incidents.“That’s not right—Roy is in the major crimes unit. This kind of thing shouldn’t be his business!”Mentioning this, Indya’s face darkened further.“It’s because every time I called the police, Roy was investigating a nearby case—always a homicide. Roy said it was related to me and insisted I was leaking i

Seeing that Jennifer still had things to do, Jessica wasn’t in a hurry.After all, there was nothing much going on at the company today, and Shannon could handle it.So she asked for a pot of tea and sat nearby scrolling through her phone, occasionally chatting with Chris.“Why are you drinking tea now, old-timer?”Jessica said, “Chris said coffee hurts my stomach. I haven’t eaten yet today, so I don’t want coffee.”Jennifer clicked her tongue a few times.“You, huh? Now you like it so much, but what were you doing before? I thought you can’t live without coffee.”Saying this, Jennifer sat up and stared at Jessica for a long time.“You’re actually just as extreme as Michael — when you’re in love, it’s fiery and passionate, when you don’t, you want to send people to jail. Woman, you’re dangerous.”A waiter knocked and came in, bringing Jessica’s favorite tea.She thought it would be just the tea, but then a group of people came in behind, placing many dishes on the table. The

This matter had weighed heavily on Jessica’s mind for a long time, and she didn’t know when it would ever be fully investigated.She knew it wasn’t something that could be done overnight, so she never pressured anyone.“So you placed Chris in the Summit Infirmary because that hospital treated your father as an injured patient back then, but they insisted on issuing a certificate stating he died on the spot. You’ve always had doubts about that,” she said.In fact, many things revolved around the people nearby.Jessica wasn’t a fool.But Michael treated her like an ordinary woman, always thinking he could keep things from her.So she had to make Michael understand that the person he was facing was never ordinary.As the heiress of the Wilder family, Jessica had never been underestimated.“The investigation still needs to proceed slowly. Don’t be too anxious. Now that Chris has become the honorary chairman, placing him in that position is also for the convenience of thoroughly inv

Nina and Jessica rarely met and had no personal relationship, at most, they would see each other at business banquets, nodding and sharing a drink in polite acquaintance.This time, Nina had come to the company proactively to meet, probably because there was something important.The Felton family was a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, and their entertainment company was far beyond anything the Hall family could ever match.So, it was obvious to anyone who should be given the endorsement of the Wilder Jewelry line if both the Hall and Felton families wanted it.“Ms. Wilder.” Nina sat down and replied to messages without turning around when she heard movement at the door. “A few days ago, I had dinner with Chris and we talked about you. My brother rarely praises anyone, but he spoke of you in glowing terms. Chris even got a little jealous.”At the mention of Chris, the conversation shifted from business to personal matters.Jessica glanced at Nina from the side.It was sa
