Given the current situation, whether Jessica liked him or not was no longer important.

At least Jessica’s feelings for Michael had diminished.

After Michael left, Chris immediately called Jessica. The other party was indeed in a meeting, but it wasn’t the secretary who answered the call.

The secretarial department had already received instructions from Jessica that any call from Chris, no matter what she was doing, should be put through to her unless it was something that absolutely could not be interrupted.

This showed how much importance Jessica placed on Chris.

So, as soon as the secretaries received the call, they transferred it to Jessica’s phone immediately.

“Why are you calling me now?”

Chris glanced at the door, making sure Michael had already left and wasn’t eavesdropping, then said, “Michael came just now.”

Jessica was looking at some documents, but hearing this piqued her interest. She raised her hand, signaling the few people in front of her to leave, then turned her chair toward the door and smiled.

“Let me guess, Michael wanted to see Joseph, right? And since you called me, that means Michael used me as an excuse. He told you it was me who asked him to visit Joseph?”

There was not a single mistake in her guess. Chris said, “Exactly. So I called to ask if Ms. Wilder had any instructions.”

Jessica said, “Putting aside the fact that Joseph is an artist under Nina and has nothing to do with me, even if I wanted to visit him, I could just tell you. Why would I make Michael go instead? You didn’t let Michael see through anything, did you?”

Right now, their relationship wasn’t clear enough in Michael’s eyes. Even though he had seen the male slippers belonging to Chris at Jessica’s house, he only thought Chris was pestering her, never imagining all of this was at Jessica’s insistence.

It was unclear whether Michael was overconfident or just didn’t understand Jessica.

“Of course not. I had Jake and Liam guarding Joseph together. Michael had no chance to take advantage.”

“That’s good. That nurse named Janet has already confessed. She said someone paid her to do this, but since Michael dared to take action, he must have been fully prepared. Roy probably won’t find anything.”

“No problem. As long as we have a breakthrough, we have a chance. By the way, starting today, to prepare for the IPO, I’ll begin reviewing all the medical records of the Summit Infirmary over the years, including…”

He paused, and Jessica understood what he meant.

This must include her father’s records. If there was an investigation to be done, Chris’s side could begin.

All this had been planned for so many years and finally showed signs of progress, especially since Chris now held the position of the Honorary Chairman, giving them an opportunity.

Over the years, the Wilder Group had barely held its ground thanks to Mrs. Wilder and Jessica’s efforts, but now they were starting their counterattack.

“If many people interfere while you’re investigating the past cases, don’t worry about it. Just push any trouble to me. You just focus on your work.”

Michael really had no chance to see Joseph in the hospital. Not long after Michael left reluctantly, Joseph fully woke up. The department heads gathered, and after confirming Joseph’s condition, they all left.

Only Chris and Joanna stayed behind. The emergency surgery that night was performed by Joanna, basically confirming Joseph’s condition.

“From what we can see now, the problem isn’t severe, but his lungs are seriously damaged. It may take quite a long time to recover.” Joanna looked at Joseph. “This will likely be a long recovery process, so you need to coordinate with your agent to discuss the timing. Mr. Green will inform you on the others.”
