    Louis took some items from a few of the guests and ced them on the floor, then walked over to Chase and whispered, "They''re all people who have worked with Quinn Group One of them has been maintaining medical equipment for Cloud Hospital for over five years."


    Louis pointed to one of the men. That was a bit of a surprise.


    All the visitors were clearly connected to Quinn Group, but it was unexpected to have apany that handled Cloud Hospital''s equipment maintenance. Chase looked over at the man.


    The man seemed quite sharp. As soon as he saw Chase, he immediately approached with a big smile. "You must be Dr. Goodman, right? I''m Ron nco. Ourpany is responsible for maintaining all the medical equipment at Cloud Hospital. I tried to catch you at the hospitalst time, but you had already finished for the day."


    The man didn''t look very old and seemed very skilled at handling people. Chase wasn''t the best at dealing with business affairs, so he simply smiled in response to Ron''s enthusiasm. “We haven''t signed next year''s contract yet. I just wanted to find a time to personally visit you, Dr. Goodman."


    Chase nced at Mandy. Mandy was sitting on the couch, talking to one of thedies, and they appeared to be having a pleasant conversation. Only then did Chase turn his attention back to Ron.


    "Since it''s the holiday season, we''re not discussing business. As for next year''s contract, let'' the holidays. This isn''t the right ce for work matters."


    Ik about it after


    Ron froze for a second, then quickly agreed, "Yes, Dr. Goodman, of course. Let''s leave it at that. I see you have other guests, so I''ll leave now."


    Louis escorted him out, then returned. Chase asked, "I stepped out for just a moment, and there are so many people here now? What''s going on? Who are those two women?"


    "They''re people who used to work with Quinn Group, but have since retired. I suppose you could call them your predecessors. Given their status, it wouldn''t be appropriate for them to visit Ms. Quinn directly, so they decided toe and chat with Madam Mandy instead. Now that Ms. Quinn has gone upstairs, you can go rest as well."


    Wendy was on the phone with Ste.


    Originally, Ste was supposed toe back, but as soon as she heard that Chase would be at the house for the holidays, she refused toe back. Wendy usually indulged Ste''s temper, but this time, she had to consider Chase''s feelings.


    She had told Ste before the holidays, either get on a ne if she wanted toe back, since the ticket was already bought and personally delivered by her assistant. If Ste really didn''t want toe back, she could spend Christmas abroad. But Ste didn''t return after all.


    Wendy could be tough on her, but in the end, Ste was her little sister, and she couldn''t just ignore her during the holidays.


    Wendy had already made three calls since this morning.

    Entering the study, it seemed that Wendy had finally gotten through to Ste. She was frowning and looked quite upset. When she saw Chasee in, Wendy raised a hand, signaling for him to wait outside.


    She turned her chair around and spoke to Ste, "I''ve already told you, Chase is your brother-inw. You can''t keep acting this way. There''s no future between Henry and me. Henry''s married with kids. Do you really not care about how Mom feels?"


    It sounded like Ste had started arguing with Wendy on the other end. Finally, Wendy ended the call.


    The study fell quiet. From downstairs, Mandy''s voice could still be heard talking with the other women. Chase pushed the door open and saw Wendy sitting in the chair, her hand pressed against her temple, looking very tired.


    "I spoiled her," Wendy muttered. "My mom always said I should let Ste go out and learn something, even if she didn''t manage the Harrison family business, she shouldn''t just be hanging around. But I didn''t listen, and now I really regret it."


    Chase walked over and gently ced a hand on Wendy''s shoulder,forting her. "There''s nothing you could have done. She''s your only sister. She''s been spoiled since she was young. And besides, you''ve got Quinn Group under control. Mandy doesn''t want Ste to be this tired."


    Managing Quinn Group was indeed a tiring job.


    Wendy almost never had a day off. Even though regr employees had weekends off, Wendy still had to work overtime at thepany. After so many years together, Chase had never seen Wer take a full break.


    That was why Chase was even more concerned for her.


    "Is she really noting back?" Chase asked.


    Wendy nodded. "She said she''s in another city and didn''t tell me exactly where. But it''s fine, as long as she''s not with Henry."


    What Wendy feared most was that Henry might try something with Ste. She''d


    noticed Ste''s strange attitude toward Henry before, and even now, after sending her away, she still couldn''t shake the worry.
