“All right. If we’re going to reorganize the pharmacy, we need someone who’s already familiar with the system. I hear they want to pick someone from the nursing staff. That will help, especially since the nurses are already overworked.” Elliot said.
“Melody will take care of it.” Chase answered.
Once everyone was gone, Chase motioned for Melody to come over. He took the documents and glanced over them. All the board members had signed. Everything was done. Now they just had to focus on getting Spherecords Group to start construction.
Chase had already told Wendy about the board’s decision.
“You seem worried about something,” Melody asked.
Chase replied, “Replacing someone on a whim doesn’t serve us well. And with Madeline gone, we don’t know who might take her place. How’s Sean? Any movement on his part lately?”
“He signed off on a prescription. It was a chest medication. After he signed it, he even contacted the Chest Center to confirm the dosage.”
But no deaths had occurred. No one had overdosed.
It seemed that Sean had simply miscalculated the dosage.
With Madeline gone, he no longer had anyone inside to help with the drugs.
“Waylon is making arrangements for Madeline and her child to go to her husband. He’ll keep them safe. You…” Chase paused.
Melody stood quietly, waiting for him to finish.
After a moment of silence, Chase said, “You give Madeline an extra quarter bonus. We may need her help again someday. Better to keep the connection open.”
“Got it.”
The bonus only needed Chase’s signature. Then it would go straight to finance.
Melody left the room quickly.
Chase then called Waylon.
“Did Madeline leave?”
“Yes. Ryan saw her get on the train. According to the schedule, she’ll be there in about two hours. Why? Something bothering you?”
“Not really.”
There was a lot of noise on Waylon’s side, like he was surrounded by people. He went to a quiet corner and lit a cigarette.

Two hours after talking to Wendy, Henry bought a ticket and flew out of the country. Fiona had tracked his location to the airport and reported to Wendy immediately.
“Good. Let him go. At least he won’t cause any trouble here,” Chase said.
Waylon’s tone became heavy. “Your Wendy has a bad feeling about this. Henry said something ominous before he left. We’re afraid he’s going to restart the Moses Group overseas.”
Even now, Chase still hadn’t fully grasped what the Moses Group was. But it was clearly something convoluted and dangerous.
When he asked, Waylon said, “You can ask Wendy directly. She knows as much as I do, maybe more. She’s helped me a lot. If Henry restarts the Moses Group overseas, he becomes a top priority for law enforcement. Things could escalate quickly.”
That night, Chase picked up Wendy from work. On the way home, he asked her about the Moses Group.
“How do I even begin to explain…” Wendy sighed.
“The Moses Group is disguised as a medical–aesthetic equipment company, but they really do all kinds of business. Even… the human trade.”
From the beginning, the company had caused harm to many. But since it was always headquartered overseas, domestic companies didn’t pay much attention to it.
The first time Wendy took it seriously was when one of their shipments went missing along with the staff.
The entire delivery team disappeared. It had been three years, and no one had found a trace of them. Because it happened during work hours, the Quinn Group had to pay compensation. Including the lost shipment, the total loss was over hundreds of millions of dollars.
Wendy was not someone who let things slide.
Three years ago, around this time, she often didn’t come home. Chase, who didn’t have a job at the time, would wait for her at home every day.
When she didn’t come home, he’d go to her office, only to find out she was on a business trip.
“So the months you weren’t home…it was all because of that?” Chase asked.
Wendy nodded, brows furrowed. “Waylon called again this afternoon. The bankrupt Hudd family lost everything because of their partnership with the Moses Group. They were completely wiped out.”
That deal must have been arranged by Henry. Otherwise, Shanelle wouldn’t have claimed that Henry destroyed her entire family.
If Henry really is the man behind the Moses Group, it all makes sense.
“So that’s why you’re all so worried about him leaving the country.” Chase said.
“Waylon isn’t just worried. He’s angry. We had him right under our noses the whole time, and he still managed to escape. If Henry gets his identity back, we may never be able to touch him again.” Wendy was worried about it.

“You’ve already worked things out with Henry, right?”
