One bodyguard watched Annie walk into the hotel entrance and could not help muttering under his breath, "Why is Mrs. Parker running out to stay in a hotel in the middle of the night? Did she fight with Mr. Parker?"

The person next to him nudged him with an elbow. "Don't be nosy. Hurry up and deliver your report. Ensuring Mrs. Parker's safety is the real priority."

The bodyguard snapped back to his senses, nodded, pulled out his phone, and quickly typed a message.

Christian was sitting alone in the dark living room when he received the message. The phone screen lit up, and he glanced at it.

The message read, "Mrs. Parker has checked into the hotel. Everything is secure."

He was glad that Annie was safe.

He clutched the phone and didn't sleep a wink at all that night.

Early the next morning, Christian appeared at Parker Group on time. The pleasant expression from before had vanished, replaced by cold ruthlessness.

As soon as Michael saw him, he hurriedly gathered his documents and went up to meet him. "Morning, Mr. Parker."

He carefully observed Christian's expression. The words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down, and he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Christian had no patience. He snapped, "If you have something to say, say it."

His icy tone sent a chill through Michael. The latter dared not hesitate anymore and quickly reported. "Mr. Parker, there is something… I forgot to tell you last night.

"Didn't you ask me to investigate what happened to Mrs. Parker at the company yesterday?

"Yesterday, Mrs. Parker visited headquarters. After finishing her business at the finance department, she passed by the marketing department. It seems that she chatted a little with Mr. Moore. After that, Mrs. Parker's expression seemed off.
