“You’re still angry?” Chris asked tentatively.

Jessica lifted her eyelids and looked at him. “Does it matter if I’m angry? I’m a divorced ex–wife, you probably don’t care about my feelings anyway.”

Chris was rendered speechless.

This was quite troublesome.

Both of them ate the meal somewhat impatiently.

Chris grabbed the empty lunch box and left the company. He buckled his seatbelt, but the car window was suddenly tapped on.

He turned his head to look.

It was Michael.

Remembering the document he had just seen, Chris frowned slightly.

“Mr. Green.” Michael leaned against the car window. “You really are a ghost who never leaves. I thought after you divorced Jessica, you’d be gone. How come you’re still showing up?”

Chris replied, “I’m nothing compared to you. You left five years ago. You can still show up now. I have to say, Jessica is quite a sentimental woman.”

“I’m different from you,” Michael said confidently. “You come to the company cooking and delivering food like a woman. I’m here to talk business. I’m the one who really suits Jessica.”

So that was it.

Jessica had clearly found out it was Michael who hired the online trolls, yet she still chose to cooperate with him.

Seeing Chris’s face stiffen a bit, Michael was in a good mood.

For a moment, Chris recalled what Roy had said.

“You have to trust your lover.”

Since Jessica did not choose to reconcile with Michael but struggled with him instead, it meant she had feelings for Chris.

If Michael’s place in Jessica’s heart was truly that important, she wouldn’t have traveled so far to clear Chris’s name,

He couldn’t feel inferior.

“Mr. Hall, I think you’re like a woman,” said Chris, tapping his hand on the steering wheel a few times. “If you’re a man and like someone, just openly come and fight for her. Don’t use women’s tricks, doing sneaky things behind other’s backs. Buying online trolls isn’t a skill. If you’re so capable, why don’t you come knock on her door and fight for her?”

Michael was stunned for a moment.

“You!”

Chris retorted, “Want to know how I found out? You can’t have forgotten my relationship with Roy. When was insulted online, my friend wouldn’t just stand and watch. Everyone received lawyer’s letters. I think you haven’t received yours yet–shall I send it to you now?”

This time, Michael was caught off guard and couldn’t respond.

He stood up straight, gripping the car door tightly. “Don’t think you’ll be arrogant just because Roy is backing you up. Your good days won’t last. As long as I get a firm foothold in the Hall family, Ill be a perfect match for Jessica.”

Chapter 65

“So what?” Chris tilted his head and smiled, thinking of Mrs. Wilder.

Mrs. Wilder had disliked Michael from the start and obstructed their relationship. That wouldn’t change just because five years had passed. Moreover, it was clear that she liked Chris more.
