How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 118

The previous Head of Dentistry had been promoted to Deputy Director, leaving the position vacant.

If Winifred became the new head, it would be a huge boost to her career, not just in salary but also in her future prospects for becoming a deputy director herself.

It was an incredibly tempting offer. Zebulon assumed her earlier refusals were just a negotiating tactic. Who wouldn't jump at such a great opportunity?

But to his disappointment, Winifred's face showed none of the excitement he expected. She just gave a weary, bitter smile. "Mr. Johnson, I told you, I will not use this kind of situation to advance my career."

"Dr. Spencer, this is a rare opportunity. Are you really going to refuse?" Zebulon asked, baffled.

While Winifred had a master's degree, so did countless others at Zion Medical Center. Without connections, climbing the ladder on merit alone was nearly impossible, especially at her age.

Winifred sighed. "To be honest with you, I plan on submitting my resignation after the new year. I don't intend to stay at Zion Medical Center."

"Why?" Zebulon was stunned, but then it dawned on him. "Is it because of what Cornelia did to you…"

"That's not the only reason," Winifred said. "In any case, I'm leaving, so your offers are meaningless to me. Please don't waste your time."

Seeing that bribery wasn't working and Winifred was about to leave, Zebulon quickly moved to block her path.

"Dr. Spencer, I'm begging you. Please let Cornelia off the hook."

His voice was pleading. "Cornelia is my only child. Her mother and I divorced when she was young, and I raised her all by myself. I know that made me spoil her. I know she's wrong, and she deserves to be punished, but as her father, I just can't bear to see it happen."

"Dr. Spencer, if you'll just spare her, I'll agree to any condition you name."

As he spoke, the eyes of the usually imperious Mr. Johnson began to well up with tears.
