"Right. When I used to visit the Lu family, I witnessed that woman treat Melissa badly and not paying her mother-in-law her due respect."
"Why didn't Charles divorce that evil woman?" exclaimed Cassie. Realizing the volume of her voice was too loud, she lowered it and continued, "I'm sorry for being overly excited. Please keep this conversation we've had today just between us."
"No worries. She's done so many terrible things that even if this gets out, she deserves it," said Leila disdainfully. "Charles was trying to divorce her, but she clung onto him like a parasite. She was lucky enough to give birth to two of his children. It was for their sake that Charles didn't go through with the divorce."
"In my opinion, a horrible woman like her doesn't deserve to be a mother," Cassie added to back her up.
"Exactly!" said Leila. Her face darkened as she thought about her own condition. "She's just a lucky dog. One day, I'll make her regret it,"
she added viciously, her face contorting into a cruel frown.
Cassie instinctively stepped away from Leila and hurriedly cleared away the tools. "The examination is over; you've recovered well. I'll have to check on the other room. See you later."
"All right." Leila smiled at Cassie and said, "Visit me whenever you can. I'm very bored."
"Okay, I will. Now have a good rest."
After leaving Leila's room, Cassie heaved a huge sigh of relief.
What a vicious woman! Even Cassie, an outsider, sensed how dangerous she was.
Before entering the room, Cassie had nearly heard the entire story already. She was wise enough to have recorded Leila's phone conversation outside the door. It was solid proof.
Cassie wanted to know more about it, so she went inside to talk to her and listen to her side of the story. After their conversation, Cassie was amazed by Leila's viciousness and was sure that Leila herself was the evil one in the story.
She couldn't wait to forward the news to Nick, since she had finished her mission exceptionally. With the recording, it would be easy for Nick to turn on Leila.
However, she still had several patients to check on, so she would have to wait until after work.
Leila's vicious face emerged in her mind again; she shuddered and quickly walked to her office.
When she finally finished work, Cassie called Nick. However, as she was about to tell him the news, a colleague came to talk to her.
"I'll find you after work. I need to go now, but I'll see you soon," Cassie uttered hurriedly, ending the phone call.
The colleague had come to invite her to karaoke to celebrate her birthday.
The two colleagues were close and she had even given Cassie birthday presents in the past. The offer was too hard to refuse, so she accepted the offer. As for Nick, she could meet him when the party was over.
Meanwhile, at the Red Leaves Club, Alan continued to wait for Holley and was becoming more and more impatient. When she finally arrived, he said enthusiastically, "Miss Ye, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. You're a hard woman to meet with. How have you been?" Alan reached out his hand to initiate a hand shake.
