Chapter299

“Just like the info you got from Jeremiah, I asked a friend who knows Pauwia to check on Roxanne, but the medical place she was at was really strict about privacy and wouldn’t just give out patient info.”

Patrick said, “When I go there for the academic conference, I’ll ask others, check things out in person, and see if I can find out anything.”

Stephanie looked at Patrick in front of her with gratitude.

She grew up playing with McKayla, and Patrick pretty much watched her grow up.

He always took care of her, and since she didn’t have a real brother, she always saw him as her brother.

“Thank you, Patrick,” Stephanie said sincerely.

“No need to say thanks,” Patrick said, patting Stephanie on the head.

Stephanie didn’t think too much about it and kept eating. She chatted now and then about things from when they were kids, or talked about Belinda’s surgery in a few days.

On the other side, Maxwell sat in the office with his eyes closed, trying to rest. He felt so uncomfortable that his stomach hurt.

Outside the CEO’s Office, Edgar finished two meals and let out a satisfied burp.

This day went by really fast.

Chapter299

Until the market closed, the Humphrey Group didn’t have any bigger scandals, so the day just passed by peacefully

Although the Humphrey Group was still green, overall the outlook was pretty good.

After all, everyone had a common understanding.

That was–the Humphrey Group had real, solid skills.

This was real strength.

After this period was over, as long as there weren’t any big problems later, the stock price would slowly go back up.

Also, there were new products coming out after the Humphrey Group, and the stuff from the Humphrey Group was never just small stuff. The stock price would go up again then.

Later, Edgar went with Roxanne to check everything one by one. After making sure Roxanne didn’t buy any the Humphrey Group stock,

Maxwell finally felt a bit relieved.

Although the company announced that Roxanne’s livestream wasn’t authorized by them, because of the rumors about Maxwell and Roxanne, nobody really believed it.

The Humphrey Group just got a bad reputation in the industry.

It didn’t matter if it was Maxwell or Estrella, they all got secretly laughed at.

Although people online didn’t know about this and it only spread in small circles, it was enough to make Maxwell lose face.

And… Stephanie’s face kept popping up in his mind from t

to time.

Maxwell felt like his head was about to explode.

Not to mention Leonard and Jennifer stormed over, and Leonard just whacked him a few times with his cane.

“Look at what your Roxanne did!”

“Steph had been at the company for seven years and had never made a mistake like this. In fact, over the years, Steph had solved countless problems. But you, Roxanne, hadn’t even joined the Humphrey Group yet and already caused such a big mess, such a huge scandal.”

“Today all my old friends called me and asked if I really got old.”

“Some old geezers were being sarcastic and told me to check if I had a stroke.”

“Maxwell, you didn’t just lose your own face, you lost the whole Humphrey family’s face!”

“You really should have opened your eyes and seen what kind of person she really was!”

Leonard didn’t avoid people at all, he just told Maxwell off right in front of everyone on the whole floor.

Just like training a dog, he also swung his cane and hit him again and again.
