Chapter 269


    Joaquin’s illness was no big deal, for he merely ran a fever for a few days. However, everyone was


    still immersed in the agony of having lost Jameson, so they were anxious about his fever and


    hovered like a mother hen. John became utterly dispirited. When Pierre offered to take care of


    Joaquin himself, he agreed since he thought of Jameson every time he saw Joaquin.


    Pierre went to work in his wheelchair. Just when he was about to enter his office, he caught sight of


    Chris in a suit and leather shoes. I didn’t know that Chris joined thepany!


    “Pierre!” Chris went over to him exuberantly. “Is your leg okay?”


    “It’s okay.”


    “I’m d to hear that. I’ve joined thepany and am now in the finance department.”


    “That’s a good department. Do your best.”


    However, Chris wore a pained expression. “As you know, I’m not suited to office work. It’s my


    mother who insisted that I work here.”


    “Anyway, just do your best.” After saying that, Pierre left and went right into his office. His fingers


    drummed the table rhythmically. The finance department is indeed an excellent department. Helen


    is smart to arrange such a good ce for her son.


    “President Fowler, Young Master Chris has malicious intentions in joining thepany. Should we


    do anything about it?” Niall had also foreseen something in the works.


    “Never mind. We’ve got something more important.” Lifting his head, Pierre stared at him. “What’s


    the progress of that matter I asked you to investigate?”


    All at once, Niall went silent. “It’s difficult to say.”


    “What does that mean? Spit it out!”

    “I’ve investigated it time and again, but it all leads back to Miss Yard. I mean, Miss Selena Yard!”


    Niall hurriedly added. “All evidence points to Miss Yard.”


    Pierre’s brows creased deeply, his chilly gaze radiating a suspicious gleam.


    “I don’t believe that Miss Yard did this, but that’s the evidence for you. There’s also a possibility that


    the perpetrator wants to frame Miss Yard, and that’s why…” Niall only hazarded such a guess


    because he was aware of Pierre’s feelings toward Selena.


    “Continue investigating,” Pierre ordered.


    “Understood.” Niall could only do as instructed; knowing Pierre’s character, he’d never give up until


    the truth came to light.


    “Also, you can shift the focus of searching for Jamie from within the country to abroad.” After all, it’s


    not that easy to hide a child.


    “Do you think this is still necessary, President Fowler? If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t leave the


    child alive. It’s too troublesome, after all. Besides, there’s not much use in doing so.” Niall


    expressed his opinion.


    “I said continue searching, so just continue searching!” Pierre would never believe that his son had


    died so easily. In fact, he felt very much conflicted inwardly. I don’t believe that Selena killed Jamie,


    but I also believe that he’s still alive. However, if he’s still alive, then there’s only one possibility—


    Selena couldn’t bring herself to kill him! This is just too contradictory!


    Niall wanted to point out that this was self-contradictory, but he said nothing in the end.


    At this time, the highly-anticipated awards ceremony for Silver Fox Awards was being held in the


    auditorium. This was a paramount award in the entertainment industry. It was the Best Actress


    Award next, and the nominees included Jude, Meredith, as well as three other actresses.


    Jude was forever aloof as though everything had nothing to do with her. Meredith, on the other


    hand, grew nervous because she desperately needed this award considering her declining


    poprity after the incident with her family as well as some scandals about her.


    Everyone held their breaths.
