The Haddocks hated her.
They were here to hound her, with Arthur’s surgery as their excuse.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Ashlyn remained, watching silently from the side. She had not liked any members of the Haddock family.
Although she was not a saint, nor a woman with overflowing sympathy, she did not enjoy the sight of Jennifer bullying Sienna.
She furrowed her brows before taking a step forward to grab Jennifer’s wrist. “Ms. Haddock, the hospital isn’t a place for you to run wild. Please don’t affect the other patients’ recuperation.”
“Who are you? Who do you think you are? I’m teaching my own siblings a lesson, and it’s none of your business.” Jennifer’s wrist had hurt from her tight grip; she could not help but release her grip on Sienna to fling Ashlyn’s hand away.
“This is a hospital, and Mr. Haddock is my patient. Can you bear the responsibility for disrupting the other patients’ rests?” Ashlyn stared at her with a questioning gaze.
Jennifer rubbed her sore wrist as she glared back, in return. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought, What a beautiful woman! She’s the old man’s attending doctor? How can that be? Whose leg is she trying to pull?
“What rubbish are you talking about? There aren’t any doctors as young as you. If you’re his attending doctor, I’ll film myself eating sh*t!” Jennifer sneered in disdain.
Suddenly, dozens of bodyguards swarmed toward them. It was a terrifying sight to witness.
The leading man had a tray of something dark and slimy. Before Jennifer could see what it was, several other bodyguards had restrained her.
Spencer stepped on her knees and forced her to kneel before Ashlyn.
Throwing the tray with the black slimy stuff in front of her, Ashlyn uttered, “Go ahead, Ms. Haddock.”
Jennifer was so shocked that her face appeared pale, despite the thick foundation that she had applied. “Who are you? What are you trying to do? We’re in broad daylight. What are you going to do? Do you know who I am?”
The black, slimy stuff in the tray was disgusting, to say the least.
Its pungent scent wafted across her nose, making her gag.
