Chase looked at Wendy. She was definitely going back to the Quinn Group, and since Chase no longer had any family, he’d naturally go with her.

Seeing the look in Chase’s eyes, Wendy suddenly remembered something amusing. “With the holidays coming up and Franklin’s filming wrapping soon, Henry came to visit me on set the other day. He asked if I wanted to spend Christmas with him. Can you believe that?”

That did sound a little ridiculous. What exactly was Wendy supposed to be to Henry, and to spend Christmas with him?

“From what Henry said, he’s not going back to the Harrison mansion. He’s spending Christmas with Joy at my place. He made it sound so pitiful, like I’m the reason he can’t go home.”

Lemon took a sip of her lemonade. “So what did you say?”

Wendy had recently run out of patience for Henry. “I told him, ‘Don’t I have a mom of my own? Why should I spend the holiday with someone else?‘ After that, Henry looked all hurt, but he seemed to get the point. He said he’d been out of line and that he’d visit my mom after Christmas.”

When Chase heard that, he sneered to himself.

There was no way Mandy wanted to see Henry. If Wendy weren’t investigating him right now, she’d be doing everything she could to keep Quinn Group completely cut off from Harrison Group.

Mandy had always had just one opinion about Henry; he was a manipulative opportunist.

Even back in the day, Wendy probably saw through Henry’s motives. They were both school celebrities, and Henry being paired with Wendy was no coincidence. Wendy, being rebellious at the time, had chosen to be with him. That didn’t mean she’d stay rebellious forever.

Her father’s death had been laid bare before her. Wendy was a rational woman. She was bound to go down the road of uncovering the truth.

Which meant she and Henry were headed in opposite directions, no matter how things used to be.

On the last workday before the holidays, everyone received their year–end bonuses. No one was really working anymore–people’s minds were already in vacation mode.

Wendy came out of her office once and saw the relaxed atmosphere, but didn’t say anything. She just told the cafeteria to serve an upgraded lunch today.

Quinn Group had long since cancelled its annual party.

There was really no point in having an event where the employees worked themselves to death just to entertain the higher–ups. It drained manpower, money, and effort, and the staff didn’t genuinely enjoy it

anyway.

Getting rid of something so inhumane was the right call.

Wendy preferred to he practical–give neonle real benefits, and they’d he more willing to work hard in

Besides the bonuses, it was about how they were treated.

But the boss had to keep the money flowing, just to make sure everyone got paid.

While Chase was busy decorating the house, Wendy sat in front of the computer, making money for her

team.

On the first day of the holiday, she spent the whole morning in a Lemuria meeting. Sammy and Zynn were there, and Lemon joined in later. They discussed Quinn Group launching an entertainment division and partnering with Fenon International. They now needed international certification.

In the afternoon, the meeting shifted focus back to domestic business. Senior execs from Quinn Group and Fenon International had a joint call to finalize collaboration details and the first batch of signed artists.

Chase, meanwhile, was in the middle of sticking window decals in the study.

Hearing that, Chase pulled his hand back. Wendy turned around too. “I told you I’d help after my meeting.” she said as she got up and helped Chase get it straightened.
