Reborn Without You (Amelia and Christopher) novel Chapter 156

Even though Ascent Corporation was on the verge of collapse, it was still a company with all operations and departments in place.

As long as it had sources of investment, it could always be brought back to life.

Yet now, Ascent Corporate was in a major crisis, and her mother was suffering from gastric bleeding over it.

Christopher, on the other hand, was celebrating ACE Technologies' success in securing many projects.

How ironic.

Their personal grudges were seeping into business.

Amelia put down her laptop. "I'm heading out for a bit."

-

Amelia found herself standing outside Christopher's ward.

Nigel was standing guard at the door and immediately stepped forward upon seeing Amelia. "Mrs. Zephyr… Are you here to visit Mr. Zephyr?"

Amelia looked silently at Nigel.

Nigel pursed his lips, clearly sensing the difference in Amelia's attitude right now compared to the past.

"Mrs. Zephyr, Mr. Zephyr is resting right now. Ms. Randall instructed me not to let anyone interrupt his rest. If you really have something to discuss with Mr. Zephyr, please do it quickly. Ms. Randall will be back very soon."

Amelia found his words laughable.

Nigel seemed to be helping Nicole watch out for women around Christopher.

She hadn't yet divorced Christopher. Why did she, the legitimate wife, feel like an affair partner instead?

"Did Christopher say he wouldn't see me?"

Nigel looked down. "No."

However, Mr. Zephyr clearly treated Ms. Randall differently. Nigel naturally knew who to listen to.

However, it didn't seem like a good idea to stop Amelia from heading in.

Amelia went ahead to open the door to the ward.

Christopher heard the door open and shifted his gaze away from his laptop. He looked up and saw Amelia walking in with nothing in her hands.

Didn't he know the complexities of the matter?

She had seen her fair share of sly foxes in the business world. They were just playing dumb.

If he really cared, would he be enjoying the celebratory cake here?

He was trying to step on Ascent Corporation to aid ACE Technologies in its success.

"Investing in Ascent Corporation was part of your ploy, right?"

60 million dollars.

How could he have given it out of pure kindness of his heart?

He even made use of it to exchange for a slot at the industry summit organized by the Langley family for Nicole's sake, which he attended with her as his partner and introduced her to many of his connections in the industry.

Everyone trusted Christopher's recommendations, and Nicole successfully gained herself many investors and partners for ACE Technologies during the industry summit.

Christopher glanced at Amelia with confusion in his eyes.

"Ploy?"
