May passed, and summer arrived at Juanton City.
When Alexis got pregnant, Rylie didn't schedule much more than a few commercials shooting for her.
When Alexis was busy before, she wanted to work only half a year and spend all the rest time on rest. Thanks to her pregnancy, her wish came true. She spent most of her time in the Juanton city and asked Scarlett out from time to time.
Abraham had been in the police station since he was taken away by the police. Scarlett had purged Abraham's underlings from Tenton and left the EVP and Frank in charge of Teuton's next two major projects. As for Mornet Corporation, she left most of the affairs to Katherine as before, and she only had to attend banquets or sign contracts.
She did not have to deal with most of the affairs of the two companies herself, and she was not as busy as before.
Chris, on the contrary, was an exceptionally busy man. Orion and Kent took him to court and started courting former associates within the UI Group.
Chris had only been in the UI Group for less than half a year. There were a lot of seniors who didn’t accept him, though
Rose had tried her best to forge the path for him.
Chris was no match for Orion and Kent, who were Rose's nephews, had worked at UI Group for more than a decade, and had a considerable stake in the company.
Shortly after Rose's death, Orion and Kent teamed up to take on Chris, who was really hard for them to deal with.
Though Chris did not elaborate, Scarlett knew how complex his situation was because she had experienced this situation herself. Chris' situation at UI Groups was similar to the one she faced when she took over Tenton.
Rose reunited with Chris for over six months, and Chris was in a coma for nearly three months after his accident. He only spent two months in the UI Group after reviving. He was isolated and helpless, both at UI Group and in the Bomsville.
Chris' situation was far more complicated than Scarlett's.
Scarlett suppressed her impulse to see him and stayed in Juanton City.
When she came out of the airport, Alexis called her.
When Rowan's comrade died last week, Scarlett, worried about Rowan, went back to Deeton City and accompanied him for a few days.
Scarlett answered the phone as she walked out of the airport with her suitcase, "What's up?"
