My Cold Ex-Wife Refused to Move On novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 All Eyes on Her

Especially when it came to a woman.

Patrick had never felt this way about anyone. Now that he had, he wasn’t about to let her go.

Finished

The next morning, sure enough, the tabloids lit up with news of Patrick dropping Zynn off at home. The article was published directly by Typhoon Corp’s media division. Wendy was still half–asleep when her phone began buzzing nonstop. One glance at the screen told her it was Mario.

He was already in his office, amused. “You really needed me to run this kind of fluff?”

“Had no choice.” Wendy rubbed her eyes and glanced over–Chase hadn’t come home. The patient must’ve had complications again. He was probably still at the hospital.

She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair. “You know how the entertainment industry works. Zynn’s had some trouble recently. Her ex showed up–he’s part of the outdoor design team for the Cliff Haven project. I just want to clear a path for her.”

Mario chuckled. “Alright. If you say jump, I jump. But I’ve gotta tell you, the look Patrick gave her… didn’t seem all that innocent.”

“Actually, while I’ve got you.” Wendy paused, then said, “Henry came to me. Said he wants to team up and take down the Harrison family. My guess is, he’s just as sick of the people pulling the strings as we are. Do you think… an alliance would work?”

At Wellinges Pharma, every department head had pulled an all–nighter. It wasn’t until noon that the patient was stable enough to leave the ICU. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The worst part’s over. From here on, it’s just recovery. We’ve done all we can.”

Doctors could only do so much. The rest was up to fate.

Since there were no more surgeries that afternoon, Chase packed up and headed to Quinn Group.

Now that he and Wendy were back together, Chase came by more often. The front desk knew him on sight and didn’t even need to ask–someone buzzed him in the moment he appeared.

“Keep a close eye on Cliff Haven,” Wendy was saying into her phone as he entered. She stood facing the floor–to–ceiling windows, unaware anyone had entered. “I don’t want Zynn going there for now. I’ll make a trip myself in two days. Prep the proposal and contract. If the design team’s solid, we’ll sign.”

She swiveled in her chair, still mid–sentence. “Keep tabs on that Gavin. I’ll have Typhoon Corp release more headlines linking Patrick and Zynn. That kind of PR is exactly Patrick’s style–and it’ll serve our purposes.”

“Good. I don’t care how–it just needs to get done.”

She hung up, staring out at the traffic for a moment longer, then turned and found Chase standing there, smiling.

Her eyes lit up.

She got up immediately and walked over.

She loved seeing Chase at Quinn Group. Seeing him in her space brought a kind of comfort that nothing

else ever could.

He used to hate coming here, but that had changed. Now that he had his own work and wasn’t stuck in limbo, he didn’t seem to mind.

“What are you doing here?”

“The patient stabilized this morning. I pulled a marathon yesterday, so no overtime today. What were you talking about–Zynn?”

They moved over to the couch. Sammy had already been notified of Chase’s arrival and sent in tea without needing to be asked.
