CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: LORD FITZGERALD STILL CARES VERY MUCH

"Oh?"

Dylan Quinlan immediately picked up on the signal, asking with interest, "What makes it unusual?"

Nash Spencer smoothly repeated what he had just said, concluding, "Such a grand gesture suggests that President Sheffield’s intentions toward Dr. Nash aren’t pure."

Dylan Quinlan’s face showed an expression of ’Isn’t this obvious?’ "Does this even need discussion? Josee Sheffield definitely likes Dr. Nash. I’ve heard that after Dr. Nash married the person from Hawthorne Group, Josee Sheffield unilaterally cut off contact and relations. Such decisive actions clearly indicate a problem.

He fears his own longing, fears his own anger, jealousy, and possibly losing his rationality. So he can only adopt an ’out of sight, out of mind’ approach.

Now that Dr. Nash is divorced and single again, the cooperation resumes immediately.

Using work as a point of contact, this method is naturally sophisticated... Spend a long time together, and affection is easily developed."

Saying this, Dylan Quinlan slapped his thigh, "This time, for Dr. Nash, he’s targeting Brooke Sinclairs like this. His attitude of standing up for her need not be mentioned! It’s simply a hero risking everything for the beauty, a knight saving a damsel, driven by love. If I were a woman, I’d be touched."

After speaking, he turned to look at Jasper Fitzgerald, "Brother Wesley, don’t you think so?"

Jasper Fitzgerald absentmindedly sipped tea, his deep eyes lightly resting on Dylan Quinlan’s face, taking quite a while to respond, "Does your language teacher know you’re misusing adjectives like this? Where’s the risk-all-for-love here?"

"???"

Dylan Quinlan was bewildered.

How, after all this talk, is your focus on this???

"Why do you care about that? I’m asking you, would you be moved if someone stood up for you like that?"

Refusing to give up, Dylan Quinlan continued to ask.

Jasper Fitzgerald slowly swallowed his tea, set down the teacup, and with casual tone said, "The hypothetical doesn’t hold. I won’t be a woman. Next question."

Dylan Quinlan, "..."

Nash Spencer, "..."

Perhaps you’d be better off staying single!

We’ve really tried our best!

Dylan Quinlan felt exhausted, leaning back casually, switching topics, "Let me stay at your place tonight, I don’t want to go back and face those social butterflies... By the way, when are you guys heading back to Veridia? I’ll join you."

"Usually, after the Lantern Festival."

Nash Spencer answered quickly.

But in the next second, Jasper Fitzgerald calmly stood and said, "Heading back on the fifth."

"Huh?"

Nash Spencer looked surprised and hastily pulled out his phone, "Is there a new mission? How come I don’t know?"

Could it be overlooked?

Yet after a quick check, no new message was found.

Still puzzled, Jasper Fitzgerald flicked imaginary dust off his clothes casually, "No, in Aethel, things are dull anyway, better head back early to take a look."

After speaking, his tall figure was already leaving the tea room with steady strides, pulling out his phone to send messages as he walked...

Watching his distant figure, Dylan Quinlan suddenly rubbed his chin, his expression transitioning from confusion to interest.

Nash Spencer, meanwhile, unintentionally opened his social media moments and noticed a post.

It was a post from a few minutes ago by Sabrina Hayes.

She likely returned to her hometown with parents and took Zara to visit relatives.

The video in the post showed Zara and Flash playing with some kids at a relative’s place, building snowmen in the yard.

A bunch of little cuties, having a great time.

Sabrina Hayes captioned, "Will she not leave with me in five days?"

Nash Spencer had a sudden stroke of insight, starting to rub his chin too.

"The fifth, huh?"

Looks like... maybe... somehow...

Not completely without effect, huh?

He instinctively glanced at Dylan Quinlan.

The other person happened to look over as well.

When their eyes met, they saw a hint of understanding in each other’s gaze.

This... is quite unexpected!

Someone usually in control, with everything planned out, can also be anxious?

Jasper Fitzgerald doesn’t have a clear perception of whether he’s anxious.

But their back-and-forth sure made him feel Aethel’s air a bit unpleasant.

Probably because it’s colder than Veridia, even more oppressive than Veridia.

He’s annoyed enough to want to throw Nash Spencer and Dylan Quinlan out the window!

...

At the moment, Sabrina Hayes had blocked out the outside world and focused on spending the Spring Festival with her parents at her hometown.

Away from Veridia’s chaos, back to the small city where she grew up, life seemed much more pleasant.

However, things online weren’t calming down so quickly.

After a day of fermentation, relevant departments succumbed to public opinion pressure and began investigating Sinclairs Corporation’s scandal.

The evidence Josee Sheffield provided was abundant, by the morning of the second day, several reports were confirmed.

[Multiple Sinclairs products fail to meet standards, with evidence of cutting corners, severe formaldehyde excess, causing harm to humans, and products are ordered to be completely withdrawn and recalled.]

[Sinclairs indeed engaged in tax evasion.]

[Sinclairs’ charity fund has donation fraud, promises of charity unfulfilled, only sent people to resource areas to shoot fake photos for attention.]

[Reporter interviewed a paralyzed elderly who claims Sinclairs never provided comfort or compensation, only offered two thousand yuan as medical expenses.]

...

As each related exposé was confirmed, the internet exploded.

"My god, what kind of black-hearted company is Sinclairs? Vicious enough to deserve hell."

"A series of crimes, truly criminal!"

"Starting today, boycott all Sinclairs products. I’ve listed them, sisters take your pick."

"Hurry up and go bankrupt, trash company!"

"That might be unlikely... Don’t forget, they have Hawthorne Group backing them. Hawthorne Group in this country can almost cover the sky with one hand, people inside can be brought out by whatever means, who can touch them?"

"Can’t we investigate Hawthorne Group too? Jordan Hawthorne is so young yet has terrifying business methods and status, who knows how many shady dealings he’s got..."

"..."

The Hawthorne Group.

Seeing the unstoppable online public opinion, Jordan Hawthorne’s face was already dark enough to drip with anger.

As soon as the incident happened yesterday, he immediately rushed to the company to deal with it, the PR department which was on leave, was urgently called back for overtime.

Originally prepared for a confrontation with The Sheffield Group.

The Hawthorne Group’s PR media department isn’t to be underestimated, naturally not fearing The Sheffield Group.

Indeed, some effects were showing.

Yet bizarrely, things unraveled by the afternoon yesterday...

Currently being the festive period, even if relevant departments intend to investigate, surely their actions wouldn’t be this swift.

Even with fermented public opinion, there’s bound to be delays due to limited manpower!

But unexpectedly, all units quickly recalled personnel and jumped in, leading to this morning’s speedy results.
