They hadnโt yet fallen out with Michael, hoping he would see the other members of the Hall family as his biggest enemies, not Jessica.
Shannon nodded and ticked an option on the plan sheet.
โSince thatโs the case, I will send someone to keep an eye on Luke, but we wonโt make a move now. Thereโs still Helen left. No matter what we say, she refuses to speak and wonโt reveal the secret she holds.โ
Jessica was not surprised.
That was normal.
Helenโs entire family had gone bankrupt, and she was the only one who escaped back to the country.
If she didnโt have this secret, Michael would have killed her long ago.
As Jordanโs biological mother, Jordan didnโt like Helen much either, and was even quite repulsed whenever she saw her.
This was the information Jennifer had given her.
Speaking of Jennifer, a top hacker who had been a nanny for so long had long since lost patience.
And now that many things required Jenniferโs help, Shannon had already helped Jennifer resign and was selecting a new nanny for Michael.
โMichaelโs house is fully under surveillance, but he definitely wonโt spot the new equipment Jennifer developed with the tech department that canโt be detected even by infrared scanning. It was supposed to be released next year, but now to avoid arousing Michaelโs suspicion, the launch will have to be postponed.โ
The Wilder Group had sacrificed a lot for Michael โ manpower, money, even power.
But it didnโt matter.
Jessica thought it was worth it.

โYour sleep seems to have improved ever since Ms. Wilder returned from her business trip,โ said Ashley as he came in from outside the office.
Seeing Chris looking spirited, no longer tired like a few days ago, Ashley put the personnel files on the desk.
โYour condition a few days ago scared meโI thought I might have to send you to surgery.โ
Chris smiled; it wasnโt that bad.
But he really hadnโt slept well.
โCaptain Felton checked the personnel files and confirmed the person I mentioned does have the surname Johnson. He was the former CFO of the Hall Group. He was already at retirement age but was rehired for one year. Then he died. They said the Hall Group lost a lot of money over it.โ
The Hall Group wouldnโt make such a money-losing deal.
It seemed that the funeral expenses were much smaller than the cost they would have suffered if the matter was investigated.
โThat means there must be something wrong with Megan. Tell Jake to keep a closer watch. Iโll arrange more night shifts for Jake. Heโs still young and can handle it. I canโt,โ said Chris.
Ashley raised his hand in surrender.
โI canโt either. My boyfriend and I have planned a trip since itโs almost the annual holiday. But if this matter isnโt settled before the New Year, I probably canโt leave.โ

Ashley seemed to have a very good relationship with his boyfriend.
โWanting to take a vacation is fine. I can manage things here at the hospital. You just handle things as you see fit.โ
โWeโll see how things go.โ
Megan often met Jake during night shifts recently.
She felt that the young man was quite adorable. He often helped her out, frequently pulling small snacks from his pocket to hand to others.
A helpful and considerate young man like him was welcome everywhere.
Jake had been getting close to Megan lately, mainly because they both worked night shifts.
