So, the head chef added additives to a guest’s soup? What happened next? There had been no word of any issues from the Jewells yet. Besides, even though he was not a chef, he did run a restaurant. Those additives the head chef mentioned earlier were just normal ones like bouillon cubes. Their restaurant even had a soup that included bouillon cubes. What was wrong with that?He might not know the problem, but he was sure there was one because the head chef mentioned someone giving him money to add those things to the soup. The person behind it must have a purpose.Mr. Johnson quietly observed on the sidelines, trying to diminish his presence. He did not dare to call for help.

His friends were mutually beneficial connections, friends as long as there were interests. Once the interest was gone, or worse, they knew he was tangle

The one who gave you the money." Chris asked the head chef.The head chef struggled to move his swollen eyes and finally saw Wendy. After staring for a while, he laboriously said, "No... I don't know... That person wore a mask.. hat... sunglasses..."Wendy asked, "Chris, what are you talking about?" No matter how anxious she felt inside, she maintained a calm exterior.Chris did not answer Wendy. Instead, he told his assistant, "Send him back." The "him" referred to the head chef, who was being dragged out like a dead dog by the bodyguards.Chris looked at Mr. Johnson and said, "You have three days to handle the closure of the restaurant."Mr. Johnson nodded. "Got it."Chris fell silent. Mr. Johnson was also shrewd. He could read people's expressions, and Chris seemed like he had other matters to att
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 351 Wendy Admits
Chris's gaze suddenly turned cold. He glared sharply and ruthlessly at Wendy. "It was you who went all out against Paige! If you don't spill it..."He turned to his assistant. "Call Bob and send him the information we've gathered.""Got it," the assistant replied, taking out his phone to call Bob."Don’t!!!" Wendy screamed in shock. She rushed forward, attempting to snatch the phone from the assistant, but was grabbed by two bodyguards.They forcefully seized Wendy's arms, showing no mercy, completely disregarding the fact that Wendy was Chris's mother-in-law.Wendy turned abruptly, yelling at Chris, "I'll talk!"She knew Chris was not joking. He had no respect for her or any concern about the impact of certain events on her.Chris glanced at his assistant.The assistant hung up before the call connected.Wendy breathed a sigh of relief."Speak," Chris demanded.Wendy bit her lip, reluctant to admit she plotted against Paige.

She could not bring herself to do it. She was always high and mighty in front of Paige, and the thought of groveling before her felt impossible. Wendy even harbored resentment towards Paige, treating her as an adversary. Begg

Sierra asked, distressed. "How could you do such a thing to Paige? There's a child in Paige's belly, and it's your grandchild."Wendy had no patience for Sierra and said, "I've already done it.

Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

"So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,
