At the Ashford Group.

Kevin hurriedly knocked and entered Chris’s office. “Mr. Ashford, Mr. Hodge and the others have gone to Mount Spring

Chris raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?

“They’re supposed to sign the contract today?

Chris paused.

The contract–right, Jackson was supposed to finalize it with the Lucano family today.

With that, he realized Jackson had probably gone to Mount Spring to meet them.

It made sense.

Chris stood up abruptly, grabbing his suit jacket from the back of the sofa.

“Mr. Ashford is on his way there too,” Kevin added.

Chris frowned. “My father is going?”

Kevin nodded. “Yes.”

Chris remained silent, realizing that the Lucano family must be there as well.

Given his father’s recent actions with the hospital, Chris knew if the Lucano deal fell through, Olivia would likely be caught in the crossfire.

“Let’s go. We’ll bring a copy of the contract with us,” Chris decided.

Today, he was determined to secure the partnership, and if Jackson was working with them, Chris wanted to get in on the deal too.

“Got it. I’ll have the legal department prepare it right away,” Kevin said as he left the room.

Chris didn’t linger and headed straight out of the office.

Today, no matter what, he was going to secure the deal with the Lucano family.

His phone buzzed. The caller ID showed Olivia.

He answered immediately. “Olivia.”

“Chris, are you busy?” Olivia Hart’s voice came through, thick with emotion.

Chris frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Olivia’s voice trembled. “I can’t stay in this hospital anymore… Mr. and Mrs. Ashford…”

Her voice cracked, and she couldn’t finish the sentence.

“My mother?” Chris asked, his voice tight.

Wasn’t his father the one who’d sent someone over to the hospital?
