Chapter 223
Howard’s face was a shade of thunder as he listened to the words from Nathan’s mouth.
“Dude, I bet your wife has ticked off at you. Just take a gander at what’s buzzing online…” Nathan
blurted out everything about the Ster Crescent Foundation’s recent interview and the words Vivien
had spilled that fateful day.
With every word, Howard’s expression darkened.
“She’s green with envy, man! You and Selina were all that talk of undying love andmitment. No
wonder she’s feeling sour.”
“There’s nothing between us,” Howard gritted out through clenched teeth.
“Preaching to the choir won’t cut it! Go and charm Gwendolyn’s socks off! She left hurriedly and didn’t
even give her bodyguard a heads–up.” Without missing a beat, Nathan sent over the location of
Gwendolyn’s charity medical clinic.
“Go and woo yourdy. I’ve got some prime goodies for you guys,” Nathan teased with a suggestive
tone. “You’re in for a treat.”
His “goodies” had to be more thrilling than “Happy Wife” condoms.
But Howard had no appetite for banter. He ended the call abruptly.
“Quentin, book a flight.” hemanded.
Quentin looked bewildered. “Mr. Chadwick, there’s the g tonight.”
“And if I lose my wife, do you n on making it right?” Howard asked coldly, his voiceced with a
threatening undertone.
Quentin mmed up and began tapping on his phone to secure a first–ss ticket. The Chadwick
family owned a private jet, but Howard was known for keeping a low profile.
Howard’s voice carried a note of disbelief as he asked, “Are you sure she didn’t call me?”
Quentin’s fingers stiffened, but he managed a steady reply. “Yes, sir.”
He had already wiped the call log clean and even sent a little something to Selina, who assured him it
wouldn’t raise any gs with Howard. Quentin wasn’t ready to kiss his cushy job with its six–figure
sry and room to climb goodbye.
“Quentin, you’re in charge of the Ster Crescent Foundation for now. You green–lit that interview?”
Howard’s casual question sent chills down Quentin’s spine.
“Yes.”
“Scrub it from the inte. I don’t want to see any media outlet pushing it. Starting today, Nathan’s
taking over the foundation’s affairs,” Howard dered icily.
Quentin’s lower lip trembled as he answered, “Yes, Mr. Chadwick.”
“Correct the foundation’s backstory with the media. Do you think a charity that stands forpassion
and care should be reduced to a cheap love gimmick?”
Howard’s tone was biting, and Quentin turned as pale as a ghost.
It seemed Mr. Chadwick wasn’t as fond of Ms. Hamilton as everyone thought. He was ready to discredit
her publicly.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chadwick. Consider it done,” Quentin meekurrendered his will to resist broken.
“When the nends at Bayridge Airport, get me a car. I’m heading to Honeysuckle Hollow,” Howard
instructed tly.
He knew Gwendolyn, that little fool, felt insecure, probably cooped up somewhere in tears.
“Understood.”
Soon after, a flight from the Capital to Bayridge City took off.
The inte was abuzz yet again with the revtion that the enigmatic founder behind Ster Crescent
Foundation was the CEO of Summit Corp, Howard Chadwick!
A rifying statement from Summit Corp swooped in before the online crowd could recover from their
shock.
Summit Corp stated, “In the absence of a zing fire, let there be the glow of fireflies, the radiance of
stars and moon in the darkness. Through the long nights, may they apany one another! May all
who seek light find it and walk in its warmth! That is the true spirit behind the name of the Ster
Crescent Foundation!
Disregard the baseless rumors online. Endorsement decisions are made by our executive team. Any
tarnished reputation results in immediate termination, with no lifelong contracts here!
Furthermore, Mr. Chadwick has decided to expand the foundation’s reach to support families plunged
into poverty due to illness or injury, with full medical expenses covered upon review! To honor and care
for the elderly, save lives, and aid the injured, this is the heart of Mrs. Chadwick’s medical practice!”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
