How could Chris not have seen it?
Michael signed a contract with the Wilder Group, and right after that, bought a lot of media coverage.

All the news media focused either on the cooperation between the tall family and Wilder family or on the personal relationship between him and Jessica.
Among these, the most eye–catching was, of course, this couple who had been apart for many years.
But after so many years apart, when they reunited, all that remained was a business relationship.
Michael was divorced and had a child, while Jessica had already married.
At the same time, Indya also pushed the PR department to start promoting publicly that Jessica and Chris’s relationship was very happy and fulfilling.
The implication was that Michael could not possibly interfere, and essica would not get back together with Michael.
Her strategy was to force Michael to make a major move.
Sure enough, less than a week after the cooperation began, Michael’s visits to the Wilder Group increased sharply.
The paparazzi waiting at the Wilder Group’s entrance also smelled the gossip.
In these days, they captured many photos of the two entering and leaving together.
“They’re all paid internet trolls hired by Michael. You don’t need to worry about it,” said Jessica.
Now, she and Chris trusted each other, no longer like before, when even a small disturbance made him feel unloved.
“It’s okay, I now roughly understand your PR tactics, so I won’t care about it.”
Jessica cocked her brows “What do you mean by ‘won’t care‘? You should care about me, but not about what others say.”
As the New Year approached, the Wilder Group had been working overtime for several nights straight to cooperate with the Hal family.
Everyone who left the company had dark circles under their eyes and couldn’t help but curse the Hall family a little.
“I don’t know why they’re in such a hurry,” someone from the PR department complained to someone in the jewelry department while yawning. “So what if the cooperation happened after the New Year? Why rush before the holiday? Working overtime every day–how can I have a good New Year in such a stare?”
“We’re the same. The designs just won’t come out. He’s already at the company, and Mr. Shane keeps reminding us every day. get a headache the moment I enter the office.”
Complaints were inevitable, the workload brought a huge amount of pressure, and Jessica also felt this.
“Increase the annual bonus by 3% this year. We’ve earned quite a bit from this Hall family deal. Atter deducting the company’s share, I’ll distribute my personal profit among the departments who worked overtime.”
Shannon nodded and took notes.
“Tonight is the launch of the new drug for Wind Pharmaceuticals. Mr. Green will leave directly from the hospital. Your formal dress is hanging in the secretarial department. Do you want to get hanged now?”
They were so busy and dizzy that they had even forgotten about the banquet that night.
All these matters were directly coordinated by Francesca with the secretarial department.
Jessica and Chris just needed to be notified.

She would take Shannon and Maggie, while Chris would bring Francesca.
The PR and business negotiations were left to them.
Most importantly, they had to consider the people who might appear tonight.
Recently, their life was relatively calm, and Jessica and Chris rarely had time of their own.
But those who might appear at tonight’s banquet were the biggest obstacle.
Michael and Luke would both attend, but as representatives of their individual companies.
They prepared different gifts, and their smiles at the venue were forced, showing no real warmth in their relationship. Yet, the Hall family still paid for official press–releases–claiming the family members were close.
After all these years, would anyone still remember what Jaden looked like?
“Wouldn’t it be a bit risky for Jaden to appear at such an event?” Chris asked Jessica in a low voice.
Many old acquaintances were in front of them.
“Don’t worry. Jaden doesn’t look much like Sir Hall. He looks more like his mother. After so many years, even if Jaden stood in front of them, no one would recognize him. Especially considering his status.”
