“Just say it,” Chase reassured Neil. “It’s absolutely safe here. Blanc is one of us. I’m friends with your boss and with Waylon. Wendy is my wife. I’m genuinely trying to help you.”
Hearing Chase say that, Neil finally relaxed.
“From my angle, I really couldn’t see who pushed Avery, But… there was only one person near the edge of the stage at that time. And after Avery fell, everyone else panicked, because the crystal chandelier fell too. But that person… wasn’t surprised at all. He just stood there, coldly watching”
Ever since that moment, Neil had felt something was wrong with that person and had told Waylon about it.
“His name is Rola? The dance troupe this time was newly selected. We weren’t very familiar with them. We only rehearsed together for about three days before the performance.”
Since they had a target, Waylon would definitely be following up. Neil didn’t need to do anything more.
After sitting for a while longer, Chase reminded Blanc to check Avery’s vital signs and then left.
“Mr. Chase.”
He hadn’t even reached the office yet when he heard a familiar voice behind him. Chase’s steps paused.
It was Henry.
He had actually come to the hospital?
Chase turned around and saw Henry standing behind him, dressed in a high–end tailored suit, his hands casually stuffed in his pockets.
Looking at him now, it was easy to see why Wendy had once been attracted to Henry’s face – he did have a deceptive appearance.
But the man’s vicious heart was enough to make anyone sick.
Chase pushed open the office door, and Henry followed him inside.
That custom–made suit looked familiar. If he remembered correctly, on his own birthday, Wendy had given him an identical set – same brand, color, and size none of it had belonged to him.
That suit was still hanging in the storage room.
Clearly, Henry suited that style very well.
Back then, Wendy had still been pretending, hiding any trace of how much she cared. Chase couldn’t blame her for it.
Henry came in and closed the door behind him.
Outside, people were praying and hoping for a chance at survival in the hospital halls.
Yet someone like Henry was always standing in their way.

“Mr. Henry, you’re at the wrong place today. I don’t believe you have an appointment with me, Chase said bluntly, not bothering to be polite anymore. He even spoke with a new sense of confidence.
After all, now he knew he weighed much more in Wendy’s heart than Henry did. And…
If Henry saw him as an enemy, it meant Wendy was safer and could do more things behind the scenes.
Helping Wendy made him happy.
Henry pretended not to hear, pulled out a chair across from Chase, and sat down.
“Mr. Chase, I thought you would be at Lemuria by now, not still here, getting in the way of Wendy and
me.”
Getting in the way of what? A relationship?
Where did Henry get the confidence to use that word?
Chase didn’t bother tearing down Henry’s forced calm. He just said, “If your relationship could be so easily blocked by me, then frankly, it must be pretty fragile.”
“Wendy loves me. If it weren’t for you, we would already be together. Since you’ve clearly seen how little you matter to her, why don’t you leave?”
Henry’s voice suddenly grew harsher. “Or do you want me to give you a little push?”
If Chase hadn’t woken up this morning beside Wendy in the same bed, he might have been fooled by Henry’s self–assured tone.
Honestly, Chase couldn’t figure it out.
Wendy had been treating Henry coldly for a while now. Because of Henry’s gossip scandals, Wendy had been pretending to be angry, barely even answering Henry’s calls anymore. They were usually handled by her secretary team.
Was Henry getting desperate?
Or did last night’s incident give him a sense of crisis?
It seemed Henry wasn’t as invincible as he thought he was.
“Mr. Henry, did you come to the hospital for something? I still have rounds to do. If not, I won’t keep you.”
Chase had no intention of directly answering him.
Henry dropped the pretense.
“Wendy’s fashion show with the Fred family was disrupted. A celebrity was injured. Wendy’s been busy lately, so she asked me to come check on things. Dr. Chase, please show me the way.”
Chase felt a jolt of shock.
He looked carefully at Henry and caught a flicker of anxiety in his eyes.

Henry immediately tried to stop him.

The news of Avery being rushed into emergency
surgery last night had been tightly contained. Not many people knew. The doctors on duty had all been warned that leaking any information would be considered obstructing an investigation.
