bRoy held /bba /bbpen /bbin /bhis hand and didn’t say much upon hearing this

bShannon /brecounted the situation once more.

At that timeb, /bRoy was still working in another province and wasn’t very familiar with what was happening here, but he bhad /balways been in contact with Chris.

When Chris mentioned he was sickb, /bRoy hadn’t paid much attention.

Now he learned that Chrisd narrowly escaped death, and if Jessica hadn’t changed her flight back at thest minute, he would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.

b“/bI understand the situation, but so many years have passed. It’s not easy to merge the cases for investigation. You need bto /bprovide concrete evidence, otherwise I can’t establish a special task force.”

Shannon already had a lot of materials, not only regarding Chris but also concerning Jessica’s father’s caseb. /b

Roy and his colleagues flipped through the documents for quite a while.

Finally, Roy looked up at Jessica and said, “You’ve done quite a bit of investigation. Your evidence is about the same as what we have.”

“Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never lose a battle. bI /bwon’t talk about my rtionship with Michael. The Wilder family and the Hall family have beenpetitors for many years. If I didn’t have some evidence, as a womanb, /bI’d have long been devoured by the Hall family.”

Roy handed the documents to his subordinates and told them to leave.

b“/bI don’t know about othersb, /bbut you’ve never been a simple person Nina also said she really admires you.”

Jessica smiled and took a sip of coffee.

b“/bNina has a say in the Felton family. You and Nina have supported each other to get this far. I know many branches of the Felton family are stirring trouble to bring you and Nina down. Now we’re allies, so mutual help is still possible.”

“What are you nning to do?”

“We should put some pressure on the people behind the scenes.”

The meetingsted more than an hour.

Roy left with his subordinates, but Jessica pulled Chris to work overtime with her, refusing to let him go home no matter what.

Jessica knew the pain in Chris’s heart and didn’t want him to be alone.

“There’s a senior executive’s position open at the Summit Infirmary. I want you to take it.”

At noonb, /bShannon arranged for a private meal to be delivered to the CEO’s office.

Chris and Jessica sat facing each otherb. /b

When Chris heard this, he choked on his food, and Jessica quickly put down her cutlery to rub his back. Seeing Chris’s flushed face, Jessicaughed, “Is it really that bad? Can such a small thing scare you?”

Chris took a sip of water.

“No, I’m just a doctor. Isn’t it supposed to be someone from the board of directors who fills a vacancy?b” /b

Jessica raised an eyebrow.

cboard Doesn’t that mean I decide who goes? Actually, I have a personal breason /b

bfor /bwanting you to take the position. Altairy has been hidden among major hospitals in Cheb. /bbI /bwant you to help me.b” /bAitairy imed to be a stic surgery hospital, but in realityb, /bit was closely rted bto /bpharmaceuticals and medical equipment. The Wilder family had never been involved in those businesses. Investigating forcibly would easily raise suspicion.

Fortimatelyb, /bafter Chris and Jessica divorced, he went to work at the hospital.

With Chrisb, /bJessica could invest under his name and quietly extend her influence into the hospital’s gaps.

If Chris could reach a high position in the medical field, he might be able to help a lot..

Hearing this, Chris didn’t rush to refuse.

“But I still want to work on the front lines.b‘ /b

Jessica said, “That’s easy. The vacant board seat is an honorary chairman. You’ll just get a title, and you can see patients as usual.”
