Jessica explained to Chris, โThe Summit Infirmary is going to be listed, and having only the Wilder Group behind it isnโt enough. You also need people to see the connection between Hurricane Media and the Summit Infirmary. As the chairman, itโs time for you to make an appearance.โ
Although Chris still wasnโt very familiar with such procedures, he knew Jessica wouldnโt harm him. Therefore, the next day, Chris brought Francesca to the Phillips familyโs main residence.
At that moment, the Phillips family was in chaos, though Jaden and Collin didnโt seem to care much.
This groupโs unreasonable clamor meant nothing to themโit went in one ear and out the other.
The butler announced that Mr. Green of the Summit Infirmary had arrived.
Collin and Jaden hadnโt yet received any prior notice. Upon hearing this, they simply exchanged a glance.
Jaden said, โInvite him in.โ
โLooks like he really thinks heโs the master of this house! Why should the butler listen to you? Who even is this Mr. Green?โ
โComing to someone elseโs home at this hourโhow rude. Who the hell just shows up like this?โ
The onlookers assumed the butler would ignore the order, but as soon as Jaden spoke, the butler respectfully turned around and went to invite the guest.
โI am the one in charge of the Phillips family. The butler takes orders from me. As for Jasper, he is my partner. If the butler doesnโt listen to him, is he supposed to listen to you noisy lot instead?โ
โYou-!โ
โYou insolent brat! Iโm your uncle! How dare you speak to me like that?โ
Collin leaned back, smiling faintly at them. โUncle? You mean the one who took my inheritance after my parents died and sent me abroad to fend for myself? In that case, I truly canโt bring myself to show you respect.โ
Everyone present had once taken advantage of Collin, and now none of them dared to say another word.
โThis way, please,โ the butler said, bringing the visitors in.
As soon as Chris entered, he saw the tense scene. Francesca followed beside him, carrying some items as gifts.
The atmosphere was almost comical.
Collin and Jaden sat on the sofa, both exuding strong personalities, while the others kept their distance.
The older members sat on nearby couches, and the younger ones stood behind themโforming an almost encircling formation.
When the so-called uncle turned his head and saw Chris and Francescaโtwo unfamiliar facesโhe naturally assumed they were unimportant.
โYou two, weโre having a family meeting right now. You should leave.โ
Such impolite words didnโt bother Chris; he merely smiled slightly. Francesca stepped forward and said, โThis is Mr. Green of the Summit Infirmary, he is the chairman. I am his secretary, Francesca. We arranged to meet with Mr. Frost to discuss business. Is our timing inappropriate?โ
Jadenโs heart skipped a beat but immediately understood Chrisโs intention.
He exchanged a quick glance with Collin, who gave a slight nod.
โYouโre early. In that case, weโll have dinner later. Butler, book a table at Blue SakuraโChris likes Galian Cuisine,โ Jaden said.
The butler bowed slightly and left.
โThe Summit Infirmary? The one thatโs going to be listed this year?โ
โThe Summit Infirmary is backed by the Wilder Group! I heard a lot of hospitals wanted to recruit this Mr. Green.โ
โWhat were you saying just now, Uncle? Did you want to kick him out? If Hurricane Media does the Summit Infirmaryโs first feature report, itโll definitely be huge!โ
Chris nodded to Collin and Jaden. โIโll follow your arrangements. Ms. Wilder will be coming tonight as well. Should we find a quiet place to talk nowโor would you rather finish your family matters first?โ
โNo need.โ Collin stood up and straightened his clothes. Even in simple loungewear, he still looked striking. โLetโs head upstairs. This way, please.โ
