Chapter <b>26 </b>
Chris <b>hadn’t </b>expected to be dragged into such a situation. Just a moment ago, they had been a deeply affectionate couple, but the next second, with Jordan’s sudden appearance, it only made him feel more embarrassed.
The show had gone on long enough, and Jessica was starting to feel anxious. She gave Shannon a look, and thetter quickly came over to pull Jordan away.
<b>“</b>You’ve all seen it. This child is not mine but Michael’s. My marriage with my husband is still intact, and we haven’t done anything illegal. Michael came here to prove our innocence. Meeting in the hospital was just a friendly gesture of mutual help. My husband was also there. Do you have any more questions?”
In truth, Jessica had no idea Michael was going to show up.
At that moment, Jessica had been slightly stunned, and instinctively grabbed Chris’s hand, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
The rification in front of so many eyes forced Michael to speak up.
“Yes,” said Michael<b>, </b>struggling. “I didn’t expect such public spection. Jessica and I… have long since gone our separate ways. We both have families now, and we would never betray our families<b>.</b><b>” </b>
The dispute at thepany’s entrance quickly died down. Shannon led the way, and Jordan returned to Michael’s arms<b>. </b>The group entered the elevator.
“Who brought Michael here?” asked Jessica.
Shannon didn’t dare hide anything. “It was Miss Sophie.”
Sophie still didn’t realize she had done something wrong and continued to mock Chris. “Why are you still here? Can’t you leave cleanly? You’re still here causing trouble. If it weren’t for you, my sister and Michael could have confirmed their rtionship. Then the Hall family wouldn’t look down on Michael. This is all your fault!”
They walked into the office in silence, and Shannon temporarily took Jordan away. Only a few adults were left in the CEO’s office.
It was definitely not the right environment for a child.
Sophie didn’t stop and continued her taunting, asking Chris why he didn’t leave more decisively, wondering if he was ying hard to get just to make her sister chase after him.
Chris couldn’t be bothered to respond to Sophie’s foolishness.
He found a ce to sit, and just as Sophie came over, Jessica was by his side. Before Sophie could say anything else, jessica grabbed her arm and pped her.
The p stunned both Sophie and Michael, but Chris found it normal.
It was true that Jessica cared deeply for Sophie, and maybe she still loved Michael in her heart, but nothing could outweigh the importance of thepany and its interests<b>. </b>
Whether it was family or a lover, once they affected her business<b>, </b>they would be taught a lesson.
“Jessica<b>, </b>why did you hit me?” Sophie was dazed, one hand covering her face, tears falling from her eyes. “Jessica, it’s all Chris’s fault! Why did you bring him here? Don’t you love Michael? I was just trying to give you two a chance. What did I do wrong?”
Jessica sat in arge chair, silently watching the wronged Sophie.
“What did you do wrong?”
“Jessica, Sophie didn’t know. She didn’t expect so many reporters to be present. It was all my fault. I failed to teach Jordan manners. It’s my fault, don’t me Sophie.”
Chris nced down at his phone. Several teachers had messaged him, asking if he had managed to catch his flight.
<b>Chapter </b>26
<b>He </b><b>helplessly </b>replied that he <b>couldn’t </b><b>go </b>to Dend for now. As <b>for </b>the exact reason… well, the news tomorrow would <b>exin </b>everything <b>for </b>him.
‘Michael<b>, </b>don’t say anything,” Jessica still had a cold expression on her face. “My mom and I have been working hard to maintain thepany. And you<b>, </b><b>not </b>only are you unskilled<b>, </b>but you also bring me such trouble. Sophie, your <b>life </b>has been too <b>easy </b>so far<b>, </b>hasn’t it? Do you know how much thepany’s market value will evaporate after this mess tomorrow?”
