Chapter 1239 Denying Responsibility With A Big Belly

• The purpose of organizing today's gathering, as Jonathan Xander explained, was mainly because everyone hadn't been able to get together since Sishi Sheng gave birth. With the New Year approaching, everyone was busy and in need of some relaxation. Additionally, Sishi Sheng mentioned that Lorelei Summerfield's due date was approaching, and they were uncertain when the next gathering would be, so they arranged it for today.
• As they sat together, everyone discussed their recent life situations, work engagements, interesting stories, and anecdotes. With Vincent Sullivan present, there was no need to worry about any awkward silence.
• Ever since Qiao Jiaxu's branch store opened, business had been even better than before. Due to its location, most of the customers were businessmen. Some had cooperative relationships with Leslie Teasley's company, while others wanted to establish connections. Since it was difficult to approach Leslie Teasley directly, they started targeting Qiao Jiaxu instead.
