Chapter 232

“So, are you here today to show off or what?” asked Jessica, a bit puzzled.

“No, actually, I wanted to ask you if you were interested in… bringing down the Hall family together with me.”

That evening, Jessica did indeed come home early. Chris, unusually, didn’t look over any patient files. The two of them sat together, as they ate and watched a film, but Jessica was clearly distracted.

Halfway through the film, Chris suddenly paused it.

“What’s wrong?” Jessica perked up. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”

Chris stared into Jessica’s eyes.

Maybe because she had come to realize her feelings for Chris, she knew that when two people in love lied to each other, it caused anxiety and their eyes would involuntarily avoid eye contact.

At that moment, Jessica didn’t dare meet Chris’s gaze.

Chris gently lifted her chin and turned her face back. “What’s really going on?”

Jessica sighed and leaned back, sinking into the sofa.

“Just after you took me to work at noon and left, that black MPV parked at the front called me over. It was Michael. He gave me a proposal–he asked if I wanted to join him in bringing down the Hall family.”

Chris was shocked.

He had thought Aitairy was the unstable factor and that the Hall family was Michael’s last fallback.

But he didn’t expect Michael to be so eager to destroy the Hall family.

It seemed that the rift between Michael and the Hall family was really deep–almost irreparable.

Even Jaden, who hated the Hall family so much, only wanted to reclaim the family’s assets, get what was rightfully his, and take control.

But Michael spoke openly about destroying the entire family.

That was a very different matter.

Seeing Jessica hesitate, Chris asked, “What do you want to do?”

“I didn’t agree outright, but I didn’t refuse either. Given my relationship with Collin, I can’t do anything harmful to Jaden. But for my own purpose, destroying the Hall family could help me uncover the truth behind what they did to my father back then.”

Which path should she take after all?

Jessica said, “Forget it. Collin’s side is more complicated. Michael isn’t entirely trustworthy. I’m just curious about what the Hall family really did to Michael back then. From what we know now, it definitely wasn’t just sending him abroad for a marriage alliance.”

They had asked Helen, but she claimed to know nothing.

After the marriage, Michael had behaved very gently and considerately toward Helen, never meddling in the Jills family’s business, and stayed home with her.

He had no friends abroad and no need to socialize. He seemed like a perfect man.

Helen didn’t even know when he took control of Aitairy.

“The Hall family hides too many secrets.”

Hurricane Media’s first report back in Cheria was about the Hall Group’s entertainment department, especially targeting the Hall Group’s entertainment department.

The scandal at the Lumen Hotel hit the Hall Group’s entertainment department the hardest.

In the end, the Hall family had to give up on the Hall Group’s entertainment department, and Jason was blacklisted.

Yes, Jason was also involved.

Taking advantage of this, Jessica bought many screenwriters, directors, and several hot IPs from the Hall Group’s entertainment department, spending a lot of money.

After the Wilder Group established its entertainment division, several executives were happy, thinking they could casually play with female celebrities in the future.

But Jessica issued a strict order. All artists under the Wilder Group’s entertainment department were forbidden to keep anyone company–whether publicly or privately.

This policy received unanimous praise.
