Chapter 283

“What?”

Shannon had looked up the news from that time, pulled it up on the tablet, and handed it to Jessica.

“It caused quite a stir back then, but because the case happened abroad, not many people in the country knew the details.”

Jessica frowned as she took the tablet to take a look.

No wonder Felix treated his only niece so well – she was the only child his sister left behind.

Even if this child was uneducated and wasn’t good at anything, he still doted on her.

Knowing Felix’s temperament, if Natalie wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to get them for her.

What if Natalie really liked Chris?

Jessica’s mood was low all afternoon.

Shannon, not fully understanding, told everyone reporting to be very careful not to upset the CEO.

Indya was about to leave for a meeting and planned to visit the crew to see Blake.

She noticed Shannon standing sneakily outside the CEO’s office, eavesdropping.

Curious, she crept over and imitated Shannon by pressing her ear to the wall, listening for a minute or two, but heard nothing.

Indya tapped Shannon on the shoulder.

Shannon was startled.

“What are you doing?” asked Indya, amused.

Shannon pointed to the office and whispered, “Ms. Wilder isn’t in a good mood today. She told me to investigate the Lawson family’s little niece.”

Indya looked down and began packing his things.

He took out a lipstick, and Shannon naturally took it, holding up a mirror so Indya could touch up her makeup.

After looking her over for a while, Indya said, “Natalie, right? I’ve run into her at several parties. Honestly, she doesn’t seem like a doctor at all, more like the Lawson family’s… image ambassador. She looks alright, and she keeps talking about her family. I don’t have a good impression of her.”

“You’re not the only one,” said Shannon.

“My impression isn’t good either. But Natalie is quite a pitiful person. Her parents were killed, and she’s left relying only on her uncle. It’s normal for Felix to spoil his sister’s only daughter. Felix still isn’t married and just takes care of his niece.”

“Sigh, just like Sophie. Sophie also has a bad temper. She always talked about her sister, her father passed away, and her mother retired.”

They hadn’t heard news from Sophie in a long time.

She used to report to Jessica every week, but after the new year, Jessica stopped paying attention.

“You’d better go. I have to check if Sophie has terminated her contract with the old agency yet.”

Michael had returned to the country under the identity of Elfa, and the Hall family’s entertainment company was back under Thomas’s control.

It made no sense for Sophie to stay with that company anymore.

Chris had deliberately not scheduled any surgeries on the day of the lunch meeting with Felix.

Francesca had sent him to the restaurant half an hour early.

“I already confirmed with Mr. Lawson’s secretary. Miss Natalie will not be there,” Francesca said in the car.

“Okay,” Chris replied to Jessica’s message without looking up.

“Wasn’t the internship application already rejected?”

“They sent another one, just last night.”

It seemed Natalie really wanted to go to the Summit Infirmary for the internship.

Chris rarely came to the Global Cuisine; he had only been to that restaurant once before.

If he remembered correctly, at that time, he had even argued with Jessica.

Jessica complained that Chris didn’t know how to maintain a relationship. He said that he indeed didn’t know anything.

Looking back now, the argument had been pointless. It was just the two of them not knowing how to express each other’s feelings.
