Chapter 86 She Will Be Fine

Wendy’s expression looked slightly downcast.

“It’s okay. We’ll find out. We haven’t seen Paul’s medical records yet. Once we do, I can use the number on the file to look up the surgery details. If I check the surveillance footage, I’ll definitely find the problem. As long as the lead surgeon is still at the hospital, I’ll find him,” she said calmly.

The only concern now was that too much time had passed. The people who had worked for the Harrison family back then might have already left.

But Wendy believed that person wouldn’t have left.

The Harrison family only had a foothold in the hospital because of the people they had secretly placed inside. To be the lead surgeon for Paul, that person must have held a high position. Someone at that level wouldn’t leave easily.

“I’m going on a business trip next week. After I get back, I’ll finalize the details of the partnership with Henry. He’s been kept waiting long enough. This is the perfect chance to secure the contract. I’ve already pushed the price down low enough. Honestly, for Henry, this isn’t a great deal,” she said.

But Henry had no choice. He wouldn’t even dare to mention the price if he wanted to stay on Wendy’s good side.

Wendy was working with Lemon just to bring down the value of Henry’s artists.

In Wendy’s eyes, Henry wasn’t a born businessman. He lacked the sharpness a businessman should have. It felt like Henry had made it this far purely on talent. If he had taken over the Harrison family’s businesses earlier and gone head–to–head with her sooner, maybe the Harrison family would’ve been wiped out by now.

“Are you seriously going that far?” Chase asked.

Wendy glanced at him. “There’s no family in business. Besides, Henry and I ended years ago. I don’t feel anything for him now. Even if we were still friends, in the business world, one of us would have to come out on top.

“I don’t really get this stuff,” Chase said, “but Henry always gave me the feeling that he’s not the one pulling the strings. I mean, with his intelligence, he couldn’t plan something like this.”

That was right. Chase just thought Henry was too dumb.

Take that time when Henry tried to see Avery. He actually used Wendy as an excuse. Maybe he was trying to provoke Chase, but Henry didn’t consider that Chase might call Wendy to confirm.

In the end, Henry didn’t see Avery and even lost the upper hand in his mind game with Chase.

“I saw this stubborn look in Henry’s eyes last time. I don’t think he’s still in love with you,” Chase said. “Maybe he regrets not being with you back then. Or maybe it’s your current status that

“I know,” Wendy replied. She knew feelings could wear out over time.

Over the past five years, because of Chase, her love for Henry had faded and shifted toward someone else. It was the same for Henry.

It was even possible that Henry had never truly loved her in the first place. He wasn’t born to be a businessman, but he wasn’t exactly a noble gentleman either.

“I started feeling this way after meeting Mandy,” Chase said, putting down his fork. “Whenever I mention Mandy in front of Henry, his expression turns weird. It’s just like when he set me up at the Quinn residence. That vicious, sinister look. I’m worried something might happen to Mandy.”

“She’ll be fine,” Wendy said. “He can’t get close to Mom. Do you know what kind of people work at the Quinn residence? Even the butler, Louis, is not someone Henry can handle.”

The Quinn residence had deep roots. Forget the Harrison family, even Waylon probably couldn’t get close to Mandy.

Since Wendy said that, Chase stopped worrying.

Before Avery was discharged, his condition had remained stable. Waylon also tracked down the person Avery had mentioned–the one who pushed him off the stage.

Smack!

Waylon threw a file on Wendy’s desk.

They were in Wendy’s office. Everyone was present.
