Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 289

Chapter 289

When Rowan was kidnapped this time, Christopher immediately thought of Mr. Hatfield because he had some interactions with him during the incident with Annabelle last time.

Mr. Hatfield had a vast network of connections, and his men were from all walks of life. He could find anyone he wanted; it was just a matter of time.

Although Christopher knew who the culprit behind the kidnapping of Rowan was, he was in a passive situation without evidence. Christopher could only suppress and warn Logan and Jayden by grasping their mistakes and omissions. but he couldn’t do too much.

Solace Corporation was already in a troublesome state for now. Zavier had a deep foundation in Solace Corporation. Not to mention that Christopher was the Acting Chairman of Solace Corporation, even if Kendrick was there, Kendrick couldn’t do much as well.

Nearly one-third of the executives of Solace Corporation was promoted by Zavier. Over the years, Logan and Jayden also won a lot of people’s hearts.

On the other hand, Christopher was worried that his actions might scare the other party if he did too much. This might lead to the other party trying to hurt Rowan.

For more than a week, Christopher and Zavier’s side had been in a complicated situation. Zavier was very dissatisfied with Christopher’s decision to demote Logan. In particular, Logan’s several important projects were handed over to Zaiden.

Zavier and Zaiden were brothers who looked very harmonious on the surface. They had never fought in the company and had always been very nice to each other. In reality, they would usually compete with each other behind the scenes.

Kendrick knew these things very well, but he just chose to ignore them.

The competition between them for interests was not necessarily bad, as it could balance everything out.

But after Kendrick’s accident, the balance was slowly broken. Now, both sides were waiting to see if Christopher had the ability to sit firmly in the position of Acting Chairman.

Christopher had to be cautious about everything. He couldn’t even show his weakness or push things too hard.

Mr. Hatfield sent an address after Christopher finished the phone call with him.

Christopher frowned when he saw the address. It was a high-end apartment developed by Solace Corporation.

Chapter 289

This apartment was mainly for people who had high privacy requirements. Many stars and public figures lived there.

Christopher then put away his phone and went into the conference room.

The conference room was very quiet. Some were looking at their phones and some were staring blankly at something. Obviously, the meeting didn’t continue during his departure.

Christopher looked at Harvey and asked, “Why didn’t you continue the meeting?”

Harvey looked at Christopher, but he hesitated to speak. Before he could say anything, a man in his forties spoke up.

“Mr. Solace, your phone rang twice in the meeting today, and you left the conference room to answer your call. We were waiting for you.”

Christopher glanced at the man who spoke.

He was the head of the marketing department of Solace Corporation, and he was also a Solace. Christopher should address him as uncle based on his seniority. He was considered a distant branch of lineage.

Recently, because of Logan’s demotion, he had tried to pick on Christopher in meetings several times. He might sound fair and just, but in fact, he was penalizing Christopher.

Christopher checked this man’s profile from the HR Department. This man’s name was Renly Solace. When he first joined Solace Corporation, he worked under Zavier. Several years later, Renly was transferred to the marketing department.

When Logan joined Solace Corporation, he also worked in the marketing department for around one to two years.

Christopher stood at the conference table, holding the table with both hands, and looked at the man. “So? Do you mean I can’t go out and answer when my phone rings?”

Renly said, “Mr. Kendrick Solace has explicitly requested that the phones should be muted at high-level meetings, and we can’t leave halfway to answer the phone unless there are special circumstances. Mr. Solace, do you have a special situation?”

Renly was referring to Kendrick when he talked about the rules.

Renly was using Kendrick to suppress Christopher.

Christopher stared at Renly coldly for a long time. The atmosphere in the large conference room was tense. Some people were watching the scene, but some didn’t even dare to breathe.

Although there was such a rule, it was not that strict. There were many people who would go out to answer their phones at ordinary meetings.

But Kendrick had always been a responsible person. During meetings, he would usually pass his phone to his assistant, who would only hand the phone back to Kendrick under urgent circumstances.

Renly wasn’t scared of Christopher. He just looked at Christopher and smiled coldly.

Christopher suppressed the anger at the bottom of his heart, and his expression slowly faded. He looked at everyone and said, “Sorry, it’s my issue. It won’t happen again. I will receive three times the punishment accordingly.”

Nobody expected Christopher, who had always been arrogant, would put aside his pride and apologize to everyone.

It was even under the circumstance of Renly refuting him in public.

The meeting then took another half an hour and ended in a hurry.

Christopher didn’t go back to his office. Instead, he informed Harvey about some things and went straight to the underground garage. He then sped back to North Course Apartment.

That was the address sent by Mr. Hatfield.

When he arrived, Mr. Hatfield and his men had already been waiting for a while. Christopher got out of the car and walked to Mr. Hatfield and the others. Then, he found a young woman standing in front of Mr. Hatfield.

Mr. Hatfield introduced Christopher and said, “This is Mr. Solace.”

The woman stared at Christopher and smiled at him. “Hello, Mr. Solace.”

Christopher looked at her and nodded as a way of greeting her.

Then, Mr. Hatfield said to Christopher, “This is the news from her, Ms. Torres.” Christopher glanced at Ms. Torres again, and his gaze changed.

Ms. Torres smiled again and said, “I heard from Mr. Hatfield a few days ago

that he was looking for a five-month-old baby, so I’ve been paying attention to this issue for a long time. I didn’t expect that someone in the chat group would ask about how to deal with a baby’s fever last night. I happened to know the young lady who asked. She didn’t have a child, so I kept an eye on her and talked to her privately. I taught her how to reduce the fever and what medicines to use. I found some news by investigating around. The baby is just five or six months old. I suggested that she take the child to the hospital, and she also hesitated, which made it seem like she didn’t dare to take the child to the hospital.”

After a pause, Ms. Torres said, “I thought it was suspicious at that time, so I went to the lady’s house with the excuse of delivering medicine to the child to see the child, but she was very cautious and didn’t intend to let me in at all. Otherwise, I could have been able to take a picture of the child secretly. Originally, I was

worried that this might be a mistake, so I planned to talk to Mr. Hatfield after I was sure. However, I was afraid of delaying the time, so I decided to talk to Mr. Hatfield after thinking about it all night.”

Ms. Torres had a daughter who was three years old, and she had a lot of imported children’s medicine at home. When she talked to that woman last night, she was in a hurry, so she probably wasn’t prepared and had no supply of children’s medicines.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as she mentioned bringing some medicine over, the woman immediately agreed.

But unexpectedly. Ms. Torres could only send the medicine to the door. The woman asked about the usage and dosage, and she couldn’t wait to drive Ms. Torres away on the grounds that the child was sick.

Ms. Torres couldn’t really stay as it would make that woman suspicious, so she had to leave first.

But when Ms. Torres left, she heard the child crying in the room, which sounded very miserable.

However, the woman didn’t show any nervousness or anxiety.
