Chapter 92: I Will Stay With You

Zynn paused. "And then?"

“Now Typhoon Corp is one of our own. No one in this industry has ever dared to challenge Typhoon Corp. Ms. Quinn plans to set up an entertainment division to collaborate directly with Fenon International.”

Zynn clicked his tongue. “That’s a bold move.”

“Yeah. Anyway, this trip was definitely worth it. Except for Henry, we all got the results we wanted.”

Zynn dragged Sammy away to hear the gossip about Henry.

Wendy pushed open the office door and saw Chase asleep on the couch. Wearing high heels, she tiptoed over and sat beside him. He clearly hadn’t been sleeping much while she was away; he had bags under his eyes and looked exhausted. That was a good sign; it meant he couldn’t be without her.

“You’re back,” Chase murmured, stirred awake by the slight noise. He squinted at Wendy, pulled her into his arms, and sighed. “Finally. Can we go home early tonight?”

“Yeah. I’ll pack my things, and we’ll leave.”

Chase tried to wake himself up. Seeing Wendy in a good mood, he asked about the business trip.

“Same old stuff with Henry. We’re signing the contract tomorrow. But Typhoon Corp gave me a surprise—a huge one. Come on, I’ll tell you more at home.”

Chase, unfamiliar with the business world and Typhoon Corp, quickly searched on his phone and saw Caesar’s name trending. Most headlines detailed Caesar’s victory in the Meyer family power struggle.

“He looks dangerous, but he’s actually pretty simple. His parents died when he was young, and his relatives sent him abroad.”

The entertainment news was full of juicy gossip. The Meyer family feud was like a blockbuster drama. Chase watched it for a long time after they got home, still surprised that someone like Caesar could be called “simple.”

“What did you do behind the scenes?” Chase looked at Wendy. If Wendy said Caesar wasn’t the type to pull this off, then someone else must have been helping him. And that could only mean the person sitting right in front of him.

Wendy took a sip of wine and smiled. “What do you mean? Caesar is innocent and harmless, and I’m the ruthless villain? Don’t forget, the Quinn Group has always been led by women. I’ve stayed in this position for years without getting sidelined by those men, and that takes strategy.”

“I know. That’s exactly why I love ruthless, cunning women. If you were innocent and harmless too, maybe…” He trailed off.

Wendy set down her glass, grabbed Chase by the collar, and stared intensely at his lips. “Maybe what? Tell me. If I hadn’t forced you to marry me back then, would we have missed our chance? You never really wanted to be with me, did you?”

That was the truth. Back then, Chase had thought Wendy was fragile but tough underneath. Her tears had landed right on his heart. But that was just sympathy and pity, not love. He knew they came from two different worlds. He would never have made the first move. Especially with his mother’s poor health at the time—most of his attention had been on her. Honestly, if Wendy hadn’t pushed for marriage, he never would have gotten involved with her.

“You haven’t been sleeping well these days. Come on, I’ll stay with you.”

The collaboration between the Harrison family and Quinn Group was inevitable—it had already been approved by all senior executives. The new entertainment division would directly work with Fenon International. It was a clear challenge to Henry. What Zynn really wanted to know was how Wendy had managed to convince him.

“What is Henry to me?” Wendy sat in the meeting room, pen still in hand. She looked up when Zynn asked and replied, “What does Henry have to do with me—or with the company? Why should I care about his opinion?”

Zynn clapped slowly, expressionless. “Seriously, if Henry’s this dumb now, he probably wasn’t too bright back then either. I’m starting to doubt your taste in men.”

Henry had probably noticed Wendy changing. In fact, everything Quinn Group had done recently was outside of Henry’s expectations. He should have already known that Wendy had no feelings for him. But he was just too arrogant.

“Didn’t you say not to startle him too soon?”

“Exactly. If Henry asks, I’ve got a better explanation. I’m working with Fenon International to share resources in the entertainment world. Now that I’ve got the opportunity and the connections, Henry should be dying to cling to me. Why would he pick a fight at this stage?”

That settled it for Zynn.

Then Sammy said, “Ms. Quinn, I’ve got some early info on Larry, the man you asked me to investigate. He’s recently been getting involved with a chemical company and already made small gains in the pharmaceutical industry. From what I see, he’s targeting the medical field. Should we stop him?”

Wendy stared at the report Sammy found, and her mind involuntarily went back to the death of her father.
