Chapter 141
‘No matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with Megan, Ashley felt something was strange. That was true, they were from completely different worlds, so why did Megan look toward room 316? Or was it that Megan had already discovered Jake and was deliberately guiding them to investigate room 316? That shouldn’t be the case.
Jake was clean, and Megan didn’t seem like someone with so many hidden thoughts.
Megan was probably just doing her job.
“Let’s keep an eye on it.”
Hurricane Media was an international company with many cross–border businesses.
To compete with them, the entertainment department couldn’t be shabby, and since they were cooperating with FN, the celebrities they had contact with were all top–tier.
Chris went straight to the conference room at the Wilder Group.
The meeting had ended an hour earlier, but a few core members remained.
“Today, Michael came to sign the contract. He heard we were starting an entertainment department, and his expression was terribly unpleasant. He waited for you outside for a long time, wanting to talk to you,”
Chris pushed the door open and just happened to hear Maggie say this.
Maggie instinctively fell silent, but Chris and Jessica didn’t care.
Jessica’s eyes brightened when she saw him and waved.
Shannon moved to make space for Chris.
“Not finished yet?”
“There are still some details we need to discuss, and Nina too. I scheduled dinner tonight with Nina and Collin. Since we’re cooperating, everyone should get to know each other.”
Chris had no objections.
Seeing that the two showed no reaction, Maggie dared to continue “I think Michael was so eager for you he lost patience. Didn’t expect you to just take a call and leave.”
Shannon smiled and said, “Guess whose call it was?”
“His daughter?”
“Not at all. Jordan had a car accident before, has been quiet recent, and was sent to school. It was the Hall family’s butler. Apparently, Luke was recently cheated in a collaboration and lost million. Michael’s parents has been scolding him and called Michael back to watch the show.”
Indya had been dozing off but perked up and straightened,
“Is that so?”
“It’s no secret anymore. The project Luke thought was good was atually a trap set by Michael. Michael’s just using a shell company registered overseas. Michael needed money, so those 10 million ended up in his account. His parents doesn’t even know yet.”
It seemed the conflicts in the Hall family weren’t recent, family ties were unreliable.

Michael didn’t fully trust his parents, let alone his cousin, Luke.
