Chase postponed his return home, waiting until he was tired before heading back, taking a shower and. going straight to bed.
He was just worried about Wendy’s situation. There hadn’t been any media reports about her and Henry, which meant Henry probably hadn’t found a chance to be aloite with her yet.
From the looks of it, Wendy should be safe.
Sammy really was an exceptional personal assistant.
“I’m about to have dinner with Caesar from Typhoon Corp,” Wendy said. “He’s my childhood friend–I’ve known him since we were six or seven. He even came to our wedding. Not sure if you remember him.”
Chase searched his memory for a long time but couldn’t recall anything about Caesar.
“I don’t remember,” he said. “There were too many of your friends and relatives at the time. Mandy only introduced me to a few of the regular ones. You didn’t bring me to meet the others, so of course I wouldn’t know him.”
Typhoon Corp’s headquarters was also in their area, and Jashonton was there on a business trip, so this worked out.
“I’ll introduce you when we get back,” Wendy said. “Caesar has a great personality.”
Wendy had already arrived. She said a few more words to Chase before hanging up.
Caesar had been back in the country less than ten days and was already in Jashonton on business.
His appointment hadn’t gone smoothly. There was a lot of trouble behind the scenes. Meeting with Wendy in Jashonton was also his way of showing thanks.
“Wendy,” Caesar said with a smile as he waited at the entrance and saw her getting out of the car.
He opened his arms, and Wendy stepped into his embrace.
“It’s been a while.”
“It really has,” Caesar said. “Everything wrapped up a while ago, but I still haven’t had time to come back. The main office won’t fully relocate until next year. I still need a bit more time.”
They got a quiet private room. The dishes had all been pre–ordered by Sammy, based on their preferences.
“No one from the Meyer family dares say anything anymore, right?” Wendy asked, raising her champagne glass.
Caesar’s eyes smiled as he looked at her, with more admiration than usual. “Anyone who had something to say is dead. They can talk all they want underground.”
The Meyer family situation was messy. Caesar had grown up with Wendy, but his parents had died young, and the company had ended up in the hands of distant uncles and aunts. He was sent abroad and essentially kicked out.

The company had always been his, but even after graduating, he’d been blocked from returning.
Without Wendy’s help, Cesar probably wouldn’t have gotten Typhoon Corp back..

“My mom always said your aunts and uncles were no good. I was still a kid when your parents passed, couldn’t see what was really happening, and couldn’t do anything to help you. So being able to help now, within what I can do, l’in honestly glad,” Wendy said.
“Either way, I’m back now,” Caesar replied. “I don’t care about the rest of the Meyer family. There’s just one thing, my little sister.”
Wendy nodded. “Charlotte Meyer. I’ve been looking into her whereabouts for you. I also asked Mr. Fred to help. We should have news soon.”
“Mr. Fred? Waylon from the Fred family?” Caesar looked surprised. “You know him? Isn’t he the one with the weird temper who never goes to parties and shows no respect to anyone? He doesn’t even touch business matters.”
“It’s a coincidence. He’s my husband’s neighbor. We’re both looking into the same thing lately, so I guess you could say we have a common goal.”
“Your husband–oh, right, I almost forgot you got married. I even came back for the wedding. But you had such a gloomy face the whole time and didn’t say a word,” Caesar said with a chuckle. He hadn’t expected Wendy to be doing this well, better than he had imagined.
“There were a few ups and downs,” Wendy admitted. “Do you remember Henry?”
“That brat from the Harrison family? When I was overseas, we stayed in touch. When you were dating Henry, I had a bad feeling. What happened Wasn’t he married abroad?”
told me you
“He’s divorced and came back with a daughter. It’s complicated. We’ll talk more when you’re back for good.”
“Alright. But let’s talk business. I came back this time to work with you.”
Wendy flew back on the same flight as Henry. Chase couldn’t pick her up–Henry might see him–so he waited at the Quinn Group instead.
Maggie brought him coffee while he sat in his office reading.
Lately he’d been working overtime at the hospital, watching surveillance footage instead of doing surgeries. It made him realize being a security guy was exhausting too. Staring at screens that barely moved all day was hard on the eyes.
After reading for a bit, he started to feel sleepy, so he closed the book and leaned back on the sofa.
nap.
“You guys go first. No meeting today. Everyone who worked overtime gets off early. Tomorrow, bring the PR team–we’re having a meeting with Typhoon Corp.
Zynn rushed in after hearing the news.
“Typhoon Corp?” he asked, confused. “What do we even have to work on with Typhoon Corp?”
Sammy, her arms full, handed things to her assistant. As long as it’s against the Harrison family, we’ll work with them. The Harrison family doesn’t just run entertainment–they’ve got a cultural company too, focused on adapting webovels into films and shows. It’s all integrated. They buy the rights, cast their own actors, and save money doing it.”
