“The gift has already been delivered,” Melody said as she descended from the second floor. “Mr. Maurice of Windwell Pharma Group just had a baby girl last month, so we sent a toy for the child.”

She turned to Chase and continued, “I just spoke with him. He has a very favorable impression of our hospital. The success rate is around sixty percent.”

Chase clicked his tongue. “That low?”

Wendy, however, said calmly, “It’s not low at all.”

For investors, sixty percent was more than worth taking a gamble on.

She turned to Melody. “You know what to do. Before Cloud Hospital goes public, secure the agency rights and exclusive usage approval for this new drug.”

“Yes, Ms. Quinn.” Melody replied respectfully.

Once Melody and Maggie had gone back upstairs to continue negotiations, Chase pulled Wendy aside, his expression filled with worry. “Aren’t we putting too much pressure on Melody?”

“That’s the nature of project work,” Wendy replied. “If it doesn’t succeed, all effort is wasted. With a sixty percent chance, as long as she handles it properly, even if she doesn’t close it today, she can still push that number to seventy–five.”

Such a precise figure left Chase even more confused.

Henry could not hold back any longer. Wineglass in hand, he stepped closer…

What he felt, deep in his bones, was hatred.

Those two were already divorced, and yet, to maintain the Quinn Group image and for the sake of public relations, Wendy still insisted on bringing Chase to every one of these social events.

But the one who should be standing beside her was him!

“Mr. Goodman, I have some business matters to discuss with Wendy,” Henry said bluntly as he stepped in.

He was certain Wendy would not turn him down.

Sure enough, Chase instinctively looked at her, and Wendy gave a slight nod. “Then why don’t you go take a break?”

Chase pretended to be disappointed and turned to head for the third–floor balcony.

The constant toasts and business chatter at the banquet did not suit him. He would rather get some air outside.

Besides, it gave Henry his chance.

“Hey, Chase, do you remember me?” A voice sounded from behind him, and he turned to find a man in a white suit, causing him to jump slightly in surprise.

more striking.

Chase hesitated, “You’re…?”

0470!

Henry gave a dismissive grunt, just about to reply when his tone abruptly shifted into something more pitiful. “Yeah. My parents already had it out for me. Now that Larry started that company, they won’t stop nagging me. What am I supposed to do?”

What else could you do? Like I care.

When she was in her early twenties, she could not see through Henry’s ambitions. But now, they were crystal clear.

And no way in hell was she helping him.

The conversation hit a lull until she noticed Larry making his way upstairs. Only then did Henry start to grow restless and stand up. “Wendy, I just remembered that I haven’t delivered the gift to Mr. Maurice. I’ll go up and give it to him now. Wait here for me.”

“Sure,” she replied.

Yeah, right.

The moment Henry turned to leave, Wendy got up and hurried toward the third–floor balcony. She thought Caesar would be the only one there with Chase, but when she pushed open the massive glass doors, she found Lemon there too.
