Chapter 594 Do You Know
This Woman
Nathan gazed down at Ivy, who had crumpled to the floor in a trembling heap, his brows creasing into deep furrows. Sadie had caught her red–handed, and the charade had shattered beyond repair.
Ophelia that snake of a woman–would soon face her reckoning. Yet she remained, on paper at least, Jarrett’s lawful wife. Any scandal would cast a shadow of disgrace over the entire Higgins family.
Nathan found himself in a dilemma.
Just then, Tina emerged from the elevator, a thermos clutched in her hand as she hummed a cheerful melody.
She halted abruptly at the sight before her- Nathan gripping the arm of a weeping nurse in the middle of the hospital corridor.
Tina’s feet rooted to the spot as her eyes stretched wide with shock.
What on earth was Nathan doing? Even if his engagement to Sadie existed merely on paper, how dare he carry on with another woman so brazenly–in broad daylight and in a public hospital corridor, no less! Such behavior trampled all over Sadie’s dignity. This betrayal was beyond unconscionable!
Rage bubbled through Tina’s veins as she slammed the thermos down on a nearby surface, her face burning crimson as she marched toward the pair.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she swung her hand and delivered a sharp smack to the back of Nathan’s head.
Nathan jerked forward, stunned by the unexpected blow that sent waves of pain throbbing through his skull.
Who in God’s name had dared to strike him?
He whirled around, a storm brewing in his chest, only to find himself face–to–face with Tina’s blazing expression.
His fury evaporated in an instant, giving way to utter helplessness.
What twisted reality had he stumbled into? Was everyone in Sadie’s circle so ferocious? First the stone–faced Patrick, and now this wildfire named Tina.
Tina planted her hands firmly on her hips and jabbed an accusing finger at Nathan. “How dare you, you worthless cheater! Sadie has shown you nothing but kindness! She just stood up for you, and here you are, canoodling with another woman! What kind of monster treats her this way?”
Realization dawned on Nathan instantly–this was a massive misunderstanding. Tina had completely
misconstrued the situation!
Several patients and visitors had paused in their tracks, exchanging whispers and throwing judgmental glances toward the unfolding drama.

Chapter 594 Do You Know This Woman
“These young people today–absolutely shameless!”
“He has the appearance of decency, but appearances clearly deceive!”
The whispers weren’t particularly loud, but they sliced through the air like invisible daggers.
Nathan’s face flamed crimson with mortification, his toes curling inside his shoes as if trying to burrow through the floor.
“Tina, for heaven’s sake, let me explain!” he pleaded desperately. “You’ve got it all wrong! This isn’t the right place–we need to talk inside!”
He clutched Ivy’s arm firmly while ushering the resistant Tina back toward Sadie’s hospital room.
Unbeknownst to the trio, a man in a baseball cap lurked at the far end of the corridor, partially concealed by
the stairwell entrance. His eyes glinted with malicious intrigue as a calculating smile slithered across his face.
What an unexpected revelation–besides Briley, another faction had set their sights on Sadie! And remarkably,
they appeared to be related to the Higgins family.
He melted silently into the stairwell, extracted his phone, and punched in Briley’s number with practiced
precision.
The connection established almost instantly, Briley’s impatient voice crackling through the speaker. “Report.
Was the mission successful?”
“No,” he stated flatly.
Briley’s voice frosted over with irritation. “Then why waste my time with this call? Do you think I’ve nothing
better to do?” Her tone suggested she was milliseconds away from terminating the conversation.
“I may have failed the primary objective, but I’ve uncovered something rather intriguing,” the man countered with unruffled composure.
“It appears another faction has targeted Sadie. They seem to be connected to the Higgins family. I distinctly caught mention of someone named Ophelia.”
Briley’s end of the line went dead silent, the information clearly striking a chord.
Sadie possessed a remarkable talent for cultivating adversaries wherever she ventured. Her character must be truly abhorrent for so many to despise her, each eager to remove her permanently from the equation.
Briley was well acquainted with Ophelia, Jarrett’s fresh bride. She had witnessed their nuptials in Beversea mere days earlier.
A frosty chuckle escaped Briley’s lips. If eager players had already entered the game, why not recline and savor
the unfolding spectacle?
“Understood. Monitor their movements closely. When opportunity presents itself, offer subtle assistance. Ensure that wretched Sadie never sets foot in Jazmah again!”
Having delivered her commands, Briley severed the connection without ceremony.
The man held the phone to his ear, listening to the dead line for a moment before chuckling and shaking his
head in amusement.
