Chapter 231

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

“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

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

Chapter 234

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

Chris was very satisfied with Francesca and even gave her a raise at the board meeting.It meant Francesca was getting twice the salary.When the financial report was submitted to the Wilder Group, Jessica naturally knew about it but said nothing.“The surgery is about to end, the outcome depended on this critical moment. Many paparazzi is already waiting at the entrance for the news. I had arranged for someone to provide psychological counseling to the family. In case the surgery failed, their emotions wouldn't be too extreme.”In fact, the family had long been prepared.The child's condition had lasted for more than two years, and so many hospitals couldn't cure the condition completely.They had come to the Summit Infirmary with their last bit of hope.They had spent all their savings.Even if it failed, they didn't have the ability to go anywhere else.Ordinary people could only accept reality.Chris had tried to reduce the surgery costs as much as possible and knew the f

Indya had so many ex-boyfriends that no one could keep track or tell who was who, but whenever Maggie mentioned one, Jessica immediately knew it had to be that particular one.Before Indya joined the Wilder Group, she also had a boyfriend.Back then, Indya was quite serious about him and thought they would get married, so she cared a lot about the relationship.But not long after, Indya was discovered by Jessica and brought into the Wilder Group.After joining the Wilder Group, her workload skyrocketed.Indya could no longer spend as much time with her boyfriend as before.The result was simple—the man cheated.It wasn't that dramatic, though, it didn't reach the point of the guy sleeping with another woman. Everything was just emotional.The boyfriend realized he liked someone else and confessed to Indya.At first, Indya wanted to try to save the relationship, but Jessica suddenly sent her on a business trip, and that was the end of any chance to fix things.When she returne

Chris chuckled inwardly.“You also have to consider the happiness of the employees. Indya has been single for so many years, and her ex suddenly appeared—of course, she wouldn't be in a good mood. How about this. Indya shouldn't drive after drinking, so you can Blake to give her a lift home using his MPV later on.”“No need for that,” Jessica said with some hesitation. “What if Indya doesn't like Blake?”“We still have to try. I don't think Blake is the kind to take advantage of others' misfortune. He definitely won't do anything under the chaos.”Chris only had two hours, so after staying at the banquet with Jessica for a while, he left in a hurry.The banquet ended before 11 o'clock.Indya originally wanted to call a designated driver, but Jessica whispered a few words to Shannon, whose eyes showed complicated feelings, but she still followed Jessica's instructions.“Sam, it's hard to get a designated driver here. You guys give Indya a lift back. We don’t have enough cars here

“There's no other way.” Jessica glanced around.Chris hadn't come home yet, probably because the patient's was in a bad condition, he still had to stay at the hospital to monitor the situation.Scratching her head, Jessica sat up. “Don't you know how things work in the entertainment industry? Indya has been having some trouble recently—her ex showed up, and he’s from the Montvue Tower project team. I want to clear obstacles for Indya as much as possible.”Jaden hummed in agreement. “Alright, anyway, we’ll report whatever you say. The reporters are already waiting at the community gate early this morning. I saw Blake's gaze... it didn’t look very innocent.”“Good thing you called,” said Jessica.“A while ago, Chris and I were thinking—Michael came to me wanting to join forces to take down the Hall family. I guess Michael is also quite dissatisfied with the puppeteer behind the Hall family. What do you think, can we team up?”All the department heads at the Summit Infirmary had sta

“I don’t know. I called Indya, but there was no answer. Her assistant went to her house to check and said no one was there,” said Shannon with a troubled expression, constantly frowning.“Indya definitely drank too much last night. Could she have gone out in the middle of the night?”Where could someone who was drunk go?Blake and Sam had definitely sent her home safely.Why would Indya go out?Jessica thought for a long time before Chris said, “During the event yesterday, I saw Indya's phone kept ringing. It was probably her ex-boyfriend. Shannon, how much do you know about this man?”Although they were all friends, Shannon was a bit closer to Indya since they were both working women who needed to adapt more to each other than a CEO would.Regarding Indya's ex-boyfriend, Shannon had only heard about him a few times when Indya was drunk.There wasn't much resentment, just a bit of pity.Indya said maybe they could have had a future, but neither of them seized the chance.She

Chapter 240

Blake wore a light-colored casual suit.If Jessica remembered correctly, Blake had a shoot this morning as a endorser for a car brand.“You’ll be joining a film crew tomorrow. Why aren't you going home to make preparations?” asked Jessica.Blake sat across from them, glanced at Chris, then said calmly, “There's something I want to talk to you about.”“I'll leave you guys to it,” said Chris, standing up.Before Jessica could stop him, Blake said, “You’re Ms. Wilder's husband, Mr. Green, it's okay.”Sam handed something to Blake and then went out the door.“About Indya?” asked Jessica.Chris poured a cup of tea for Blake.Blake was relaxed as he lifted the cup and nodded. “Yes. You know my intentions, Ms. Wilder. I must be with the person that I like. I don't want anyone to stand in my way. What do you think about this Anthony?”Jessica never interfered in employees' love life, but Indya was a friend, not just an employee.She considered things more carefully.“Blake, let's b
