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."
