Reborn as the Boss Lady novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Simple and Violent

“Jerome, it’s me.”

Wynne leaned in a little and whispered to his ear, giving it one last try.

If Jerome still didn’t let go, she’d have no choice but to use a needle on him.

Just as Wynne was ready to do it, the killing intent around him suddenly faded. Even Jerome’s cold hand

slowly loosened and dropped.

Wow!

The scene shocked Alex.

He knew better than anyone how strong Jerome’s defensive instincts were. Last time, his own wrist had been crushed with that exact same grip while Jerome was still unconscious.

The usual lazy aura was gone. Wynne’s clear, sharp eyes stayed calm, but now she looked completely

focused.

As her hands moved, Jerome’s shirt collar fell open, revealing his chest and toned abs-firm and striking. A line of sigil tattoo ran along his waist, disappearing beneath the waistband of his pants.

He was in great shape.

But his body was covered in scars.

Wynne seemed caught off guard for a moment.

She looked away.

“Follow the prescription I wrote. Tell Brian to prepare the medicine. The moment my needle goes into his chest, the medicine must be poured in right away!”

As she spoke, Wynne pulled out the thinnest needle.

It was as fine as a strand of hair. To Alex, it looked like a light breeze could blow it away.

But with a light pinch between her fingers, the needle stood still in the midair, trembling faintly.

Alex frowned.

Wynne’s move made Alex think back to a story he once heard at the training base years ago. It was about Dr. Shepherd, known as the Golden Hands. That title meant the highest level of traditional medicine in the country. What amazed people most was Dr. Shepherd’s skill to use inner strength to push a needle as thin as a hair straight through a steel plate.

Wynne steadied herself, then closed her eyes and placed her fingers over Jerome’s chest.

There, his heartbeat was uneven and weak.

Now!

Chapter 13 Simple and Violent

The moment Wynne opened her eyes, her gaze turned cold and firm. She drove the needle straight in!

A sharp ringtone suddenly rang out, breaking the heavy silence in the room.

Seriously? Who’s calling right now?!

Alex’s heart jumped to his throat. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to answer or hang up. He froze,

unsure.

“Answer it.”

Annoyed by the noise, Wynne snapped.

Alex picked up the call, but after only a few words, his expression turned strange.

It was Hendrick’s man calling.

“Mr. Chatwin’s grandson suddenly had a high fever and muscle spasms. He fainted an hour ago. He’s at the hospital now, but…”

The hospital had already started emergency procedures right away. After running a full round of tests, they still couldn’t find anything wrong. Now the boy’s body was starting to show signs of failure. That was when Hendrick remembered Wynne’s warning from yesterday. He quickly sent someone over, demanding that Wynne be brought to the hospital.

At any cost!

One problem hadn’t even settled before another showed up.

“Tell him to wait,” Wynne said.

She didn’t even look up.

Alex, who was usually cold and firm, now looked a bit awkward. If it were anyone else, he would have told them to get lost already. But this was someone sent by Hendrick.

He couldn’t do that.

Wynne saw his hesitation and guessed the caller wasn’t ordinary. She took the phone from his hand. Without caring who was on the other side, she said, “Pick me up at the dock in 30 minutes,” and hung up right away.

“The medicine is here!”

Brian rushed in with a cup of dark liquid. The bitter smell in the air was enough to make anyone feel sick.

“Try giving Mr. Cromwell a couple of sips first.”

As soon as Wynne said that, Brian looked like he was about to cry.

“Ms. Sinclair, please don’t do this to me! Look at my neck, see how thick it is? Mr. Cromwell could snap it with one hand!”

Wynne shot a cold glance at him.

Then she turned to look at Alex.

He shook his head too.

Wynne sighed helplessly. What good are you two!

She took a deep breath, picked up the cup, and scooped a spoonful. She brought it to Jerome’s lips.

Just as expected, his lips stayed tightly shut out of instinct. The medicine dripped down instead.

Brian shuffled over to his older brother and whispered, “Hey, Alex, based on what happens in those romance TV shows, doesn’t this mean she’s about to feed Mr. Cromwell mouth-to-mouth?”

“Shut up.”

Right after Alex said that, Wynne pulled out another needle. No one saw where she poked it, but with a quick pinch of her fingers, Jerome’s thin lips were forced open.

Huh?

Did she just force him?

What a brutally straight-to-the-point girl.

In the end, Wynne force-fed the entire cup of medicine into Jerome.

Her moves were fast, precise, and ruthless.

Brian reached out a few times like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself every time.

Ms. Sinclair’s style is way too simple and violent.

“All done.”

Wynne rolled her neck and let out a long breath. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt a sudden resistance at her wrist. She looked down and saw Jerome’s big hand gripping her tightly.

Firm and unyielding.

If she weren’t sure he was still unconscious, she would’ve thought he was faking it.

Wynne tried a few times, but couldn’t break free.

“Ms. Sinclair…”

Alex looked at the phone that kept vibrating. The Chatwins were already waiting at the dock. The calls kept coming one after another. Clearly, they were getting desperate.
