This had actually been obvious since they were kids. Collin and Jessica grew up together. If Collin really had an interest in other women, he would have had an interest in Jessica a long time ago.

On the tea table in the center of the room were hot tea and snacks. Jaden poured tea for everyone and took a piece of snack for himself.

Nina said, “I just saw Luke and Michael standing far apart. Looks like these two have already fallen out and don’t even care about hiding their relationship.”

“I used to think I understood Michael, but now it seems all I saw was his disguised behavior. I never really saw the real Michael,” Jessica sighed and looked at Jaden. “Chris and I suspect there’s someone behind the scenes controlling the Hall family. Even the arranged marriage sending Michael abroad back then was that person’s idea.”

Jaden nodded. “From what I remember, my father always seemed to be guarding against someone. To be frank, the current heirs of the Hall family are nothing to worry about. The person who made my father so worried has to be extraordinary.”

No one knew whether this person was male or female, or what their true identity was.

This person was so clever they had always hidden behind the Hall family, never revealing their true identity in public.

Not a single person in the entire room could recognize them.

“That’s a truly dangerous person.”

The joint meeting lasted seven days in total, but Chris and Jessica only attended for one day. The remaining days were attended one by one by the company’s senior executives. It was said Indya went to the meeting just to sleep and was only woken up when the meeting ended.

There were plenty of people eager to cooperate with the Wilder Group; there was no need for them to actively seek opportunities.

Adam came to the Summit Infirmary for a follow-up. Chris personally received him and stayed with him the whole time, confirming that Adam’s condition was improving, which put him at ease.

“You’re recovering faster than I expected,” said Chris, sitting on a bench and watching Adam move his limbs in a wheelchair. Small movements were no problem anymore; now it was just about the intensity of rehabilitation.

Adam smiled, “Thanks to the doctors who saved my life. I know this case isn’t closed yet. Captain Felton came to my house a few days ago, said they caught some kidnappers and asked if I’d seen them.”

Roy had arrested two men who were undoubtedly kidnappers, but they only said they took money to do jobs. All communications were fake, their phones couldn’t be reached, and the numbers they got were fake as well.

“How are your fans? They’re not still attacking FN, are they?”

Adam said, “My boss treats me well, and all the endorsements and films I had to stop filming due to my injury have already been replaced by suitable people. I will get plenty of opportunities in the future, but I won’t be able to get them if I die.”

Chris chuckled.

“Then stick to the recovery plan. I’ll wait for the day you stand again. FN and the Wilder Group are already business partners, so we’re partners now. We’ll have chances to meet again.”

“All right.”

This day was destined to be important.

The paternity test results for Collin and Mandy came out.

After the meeting, Jessica rushed to the Summit Infirmary. The moment Chris got the test result, his hand trembled slightly.

“I’m a bit nervous,” said Chris.

Jessica nodded and sat beside him, holding his hand and saying, “This is Collin’s sister we’re talking about here. I remember seeing her when she was just born. I’m a bit nervous too. Maybe we shouldn’t look?”

Chris was rendered speechless.
