Michael was greedy and never satisfied.

Jessica sneered coldly in her heart but kept a calm expression on her face.

“Michael, you know the entertainment company under the Hall family isn’t top–tier in the industry, while the Wilder Jewelry ranks in the global top five. I’m a businesswoman–giving you the entry–level line is already generous. The luxury line was decided long ago.”

Seeing Jessica’s displeased expression, Michael quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. I just hope to make more achievements so I can help you in the future. Since that’s the case, I’ll follow your arrangement.”

Today was only to settle details, not to sign a contract, so Jessica wasn’t in a hurry.

“Do you have a meeting at noon? Let me treat you to lunch,” Michael asked with a smile.

Jessica didn’t answer. Maggie knocked and came in, first glancing at Michael, then turning to Jessica. “Mr. Green is here. He said he brought lunch for you, Ms. Wilder, and is waiting in the office.”

‘Chris is here!‘ Jessica’s eyes lit up. ‘Looks like he knows to apologize now.‘

Jessica was very pleased.

But in front of Michael, she still had to keep up appearances. She frowned and asked impatiently, “Why is he here again?”

Michael naturally played the good guy and hurriedly grabbed Jessica’s arm. “Calm down. Aren’t you guys in a partnership? Playing along won’t hurt, we can’t let the shareholders see any problems. You go ahead, I’ll head back now.”

With that, Michael picked up his laptop and left.

Jessica didn’t rush back to the office.

“How’s the investigation going? Where did the woman who didn’t show up that day go?”

From a distance, the moment Michael’s figure disappeared as the elevator doors closed, Jessica’s expression instantly turned

cold.

Originally, she was here to watch the show. She thought that Jordan’s mother would definitely make an appearance, but she didn’t see the woman even after the end of the banquet.

Only after asking Calum did she learn the woman had indeed left the hotel, but no one knew where she went.

Now the person had vanished right under their noses–they had to find her quickly.

“We’re searching,” Shannon said softly, fearing to anger Jessica. She probably knew Michael was going to act, so she ran away that day. As long as she’s alive, we’ll find her.”

Jessica stood at the door staring toward the office, her fingers twitching slightly. “As soon as possible. The dead are no use to us.”

“Yes, Ms. Wilder.”

‘ed, so he

While Jessica was away, Chris helped tidy up many things on her desk. Usually, Jessica was busy and didn’t like the cleaning staff to move her things around, documents and pens were scattered everywhere. Chris wasn’t afraid of getting sc took the chance to organize.

One document lay open in the center. Chris picked it up to close it and saw his own name.

It was the report Shannon had investigated about Michael hiring online trolls, clearly stating Michael targeted Chris

deliberately to escalate the situation.

He quietly read for a while, then closed it and set it aside.
