A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 241

Krystal's expression remained calm as she reminded Jeremy, saying, "Instead of wasting your time on someone who doesn't matter, you'd be better off doing more research. Your abilities shouldn't be hidden away."

Harold cleared his throat. "Work is important, but life is just as important."

Meanwhile, Jeremy didn't say anything. His gaze was lowered, and no one could tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment. Nevertheless, the tense line of his jaw showed that he wasn't pleased.

Suddenly, someone behind them said, "Harold, can you stop being so socially awkward? Why did you invite Melody to our dinner? She's just a nurse. Don't you find it annoying that she's always hanging around with us?

"Besides, with her current situation, anyone who associates with her is just asking for trouble."

The person's words weren't kind, and Harold's expression darkened. He was about to speak when he noticed that Jeremy had already walked on ahead.

He could only turn back and quietly remind the person, "With everything that's happened, Melody is also a victim."

"A victim? We're the victims for working in the same department as her.

"Dr. Chesson sure is something. He had Krystal—a great doctor—but still chose a troublemaker."

Upon seeing that an argument was about to break out, Caleb quickly changed the subject and led the group to their private room.

…

In another private room, Melody looked at Denvin and directly asked, "What's going on with Celestial Group?"

Denvin said, "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Melody didn't hesitate for a second. "The bad news."

"Celestial Group has partnered with Hope Project, and Sebastian has already started separating a subsidiary and sent all the people involved in the incident away. If necessary, they'll cut ties with Celestial Group."

After a while, she raised her head and firmly said, "This charity warehouse facade won't last a year." Once someone had tasted massive profits, it was hard for them to stop.

Besides, Celestial Group was already losing a lot of money. They couldn't figure out what Sebastian wanted to do yet.

Denvin wasn't surprised by her words. His finger lightly tapped the table as he slowly said, "So, what are you suggesting?"

Melody replied, "I just want to get justice for those who've been deceived by them. Not just the kids from the orphanage, but the elderly, the disabled, and the people deep in the mountains too—anyone who's been tricked by them.

"People who've done wrong should apologize and take responsibility for their mistakes, not act all high and mighty and use threats and bribery to get others to forgive them."

Melody looked at Denvin.

His expression didn't change. He just raised his hand slightly and signaled for her to continue.
