Jenny hadn't expected to see such an amusing scene after answering a call outside.She recognized the woman on the floor to be Yvonne's friend. Who was she planning to splash with the dirty water, then?Jenny could see the answer from the woman's terrified expression. Smiling, she walked up to her and looked down. "Do you need me to call someone for you?""No... No need!" The woman shook her head, unable to meet Jenny's eyes."Sure. Have it your way." Jenny shrugged and went into the stall.As soon as she closed the door, the woman stood up resentfully and got another bucket of dirty water. She wanted to take Jenny down with her.With this thought, she raised the bucket of water and tried to pour it over the door again.At the same time, Jenny opened the door.The bucket of water splashed onto the same person again, followed by a piercing scream.Jenny's expression was chilly. "How old are you?" she asked coldly. "This is the most childish trick I've seen yet. Do you really think I'm d
Yvonne couldn't see any trace of anger or sadness in Jenny's expression. She just stood there stoically."You're the other woman who took him away from me!" Yvonne gritted out.The other woman?Jenny raised her eyebrows. That was something she had to correct."Don't flatter yourself. If Alec really loved you that much, why would he marry me in the first place? Do you think he's the kind that would cave in just because Grandpa forced him?""He…""You don't have to make excuses for him. The truth is he just doesn't love you as much as you love him. He doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Grandpa for you, do you understand?" Jenny interrupted with a snort.Yvonne opened her mouth, but no words came out. She knew, in her heart of hearts, that Jenny was speaking the truth.The public thought that she had left because Alec had married Jenny. In reality, she left because she knew Alec did not love her.Even before Jenny came into their lives, Yvonne knew that Alec only considered her a
Max was drinking wine on the balcony. Unlike the others, he wasn't entertaining guests. He didn't care about all this. He had his own ways of improving the Pearson family.A figure strode onto the balcony. Max looked up to see who it was. When he did, he frowned, expression darkening."Max, are you interested in discussing an alliance?" Yvonne asked, beaming. Her lips were scarlet, her smile bright. Although she could not compare to Jenny's classic beauty, she had her own charm.In Parrington, Jenny wasn't the only one who received the attention of the masses. If everyone didn't already know that Yvonne was interested in Alec, she would have countless men pursuing her.Max drained his wine in one gulp. With a slightly playful expression, he asked, "Alliance? Do we have anything in common for an alliance?""Of course we do," Yvonne answered.She approached Max, the scent of her perfume suffusing the air and assaulting Max's nostrils. He became very discomfited.Max took a few ste
The event was reaching its end, and Jenny finally relaxed. This kind of setting didn't suit her, so she would have to avoid them in the future if she could.However, hadn't her brother said he would attend? Where was he?Jenny looked around for Gilbert and Zack, but found neither. Just as she was about to give up, she caught sight of a familiar face.Sobering, she got up and walked over.When Jenny caught her, Stephanie had been carefully avoiding the crowd. She had nearly no presence at all, so she was in disbelief when she was caught.She had been so careful. How was it that she was still discovered?Jenny had no clue what was running around in Stephanie's head. She patted the other woman's shoulder and said unpleasantly, "Steph Walker, please explain."She was done for. Jenny was furious. Only when Jenny was mad would she call Stephanie "Steph Walker."Stephanie was stiff as she turned around. Faced with Jenny's thunderous expression, she said with an awkward chuckle, "I rus
Stephanie fidgeted anxiously. After a beat, she said, "It's just that the situation between us is a little complicated. The point is, I can't explain it right now. Don't bother with it.""Are you sure he's not a scammer?" Jenny asked suspiciously."I'm sure of it." Stephanie nodded. Of that point, she was certain.Since Stephanie was so sure, Jenny felt bad about asking further. After all, these were Stephanie's private matters. She had to give her friend some time. "Alright. Just take care of yourself.""Of course." Stephanie nodded, but her heart ached.When it came to matters of the heart, she had no resistance at all. She'd already given it all up. The thing was, she still had no clue what she meant to him."Mr. Spade!"Suddenly, someone cried out further ahead. Jenny's focus was instantly drawn there, where she found an old man with snowy hair crumpled on the ground."What happened?" Alec asked, rushing over."Mr. Spade collapsed!" a man in a suit said. His expression was
The old man was obviously better once he had the oxygen mask on. Jenny heaved a sigh of relief. They could probably hang in there until the ambulance arrived.She was focusing entirely on the old man. She didn't notice that the gazes everyone had of her had shifted.Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Jenny was going into the ambulance with the paramedics when Alec asked, "Are you going, too?""I'm the only one who can perform this surgery in Parrington Hospital," she said calmly. There was no drama in her tone. She said nothing else and sat in the ambulance, disappearing from their sight.Once they were gone, people whispered, "Just who is she? She's Alec's ex-wife, Mr. Birkett's mentee, and the most famous neurosurgeon in Parrington Hospital. This is just too extraordinary."It was no easy feat being just one of these, yet she was all of them. What was more, she mastered everything. It was not something that could be done by just anybody."That's right. I used to look dow
Alec was now the biggest shareholder of Parrington Hospital, and he had already notified the hospital. So, when Jenny rushed to the hospital, nurses were already waiting at the entrance. Even the chairman was there, proving that the old man was not someone to be taken lightly.However, Jenny was in no mood to think of this. She got out of the ambulance and asked, "Is the operating room prepared?""Yes, it is," someone answered.She nodded in satisfaction and said to the paramedics on the ambulance, "Send him straight into the emergency ward. Prepare for surgery."Done speaking, she walked toward the operating room. When she walked past the chairman, he grabbed her hand and said, "How is it? Is it going to work?"Although he knew of Jenny's capabilities, the old man was just too important for him not to worry."Relax. I'll do my best." She didn't linger and went straight to the operating room, preparing for the surgery.At the same time, a young man held a glass of red wine in a
"That's true, but I'm still thankful that you have saved his life." He added, "I'm Christopher Spade. The man in there is my father.""Jenny." She had a good impression of him. On top of that, the surgery was successful. She was in a relaxed state."Miss Jenny, would you mind telling me about my father's condition in detail?" Christopher asked a little embarrassedly.Jenny nodded and beckoned for him to follow her. "Yes. Follow me to the office."As a doctor, it was her duty to explain a patient's situation to their family. They walked toward the office, ignoring Alec completely.It was only after a few steps that Jenny felt something amiss.Where was Alec?She turned back, but he was nowhere in sight. When had he gone? Why hadn't she realized?"Miss Jenny?" Christopher was puzzled when she stopped. He didn't know what she was looking for.She came back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's go."Outside the hospital, Alec opened the door and sat down. "Go to
