Chapter 366 You Canst Frame Me Like This (1/2)

This made her mind flash back to the time when both of them reacted with shock and anger as they saw her at the gate of the hospital. At that time, they were seeing two strange middle-aged men off.

Jean had a hunch that they were up to something from the look of the four huddled up together but she did not know what...

”Why haven't you come back to the company yet?” asked Henry. He had obviously accepted that he could do nothing more about the dire straits the company was in. It was also clear that he wanted Jean back for help. He glared at her with indignation as he said,”Didn't you say that you would be back at the Wen Group? Then where were you all these days?”
