Chapter 470
Wendy raised her delicate eyebrows. “Mr. Hawk, Jessica What a coincidence, running into you here”
“I can imagine you didn’t want to run into us. You’re probably afraid we’ll find out about the nasty things you’re doing,” Jessica shot back, her valce dripping with sarcasin
As the boss of Noval Health, Wendy had a lot of influence. When Terence heard someone Insulting her, he Immediately stepped in. “Ms. Jessica, why do you have to speak so rudely?”
“Dr. Binder, why are you protecting her so much Does your wife know you’re having dinner with her?”
Terence shot back, “1”
Wendy waved her hand, signaling Terence to step back.
Terence obediently moved aside.
Wendy looked at Jessica with a smirk, amusement dancing her eyes. “It sounds like you’re implying something What are you trying to say? Are you accusing me of having an Improper relationship with Dr. Binder?”
Jessica let out a cold laugh. “Everyone knows that Novalealth is the largest publicly listed healthcare company in the country, with a prestigious reputation. Dr. Binder, as the director of NovaHealth, must get a lot of attention. I can understand if you’re trying to use your charm to win him over.”
Terence could only stare at her, his face a mix of disbelief and annoyance.
Jessica continued, her tone sharp, “But he’s a married man, Wendy. Where do you draw the line? Isn’t Mr. Samuel enough for you? Why are you out here trying to seduce someone else?”
Wendy knew Jessica had misunderstood the situation, but she wasn’t surprised. She smiled, her lips curving into a teasing grin. “Some people are so filthy, they see dirt in everything.”
Jessica seethed, her hands clenched into fists. “You little…”
At that moment, Stanley stepped forward, his voice cutting through the tension. “Enough!”
Jessica shot him a pleading look. “Did you see that? Wendy really has no shame!”
Stanley’s eyes shifted toward Wendy’s face. “You and Dr. Binder had dinner together?”
Wendy nodded without hesitation. “Yes, so what? Is there some law that says I can’t have dinner with him?” Stanley felt a strange unease, as though there was something: Wendy and Terence were hiding from him. “What did you two talk about?”
Terence immediately started to speak, but Wendy interrupted him, “Mr. Hawk, I’m Dr. Ceylan, a renowned doctor, and Terence is the director of NovaHealth. Of course, we were talking about medical topics.” Terence nodded in agreement. “Exactly. I’ve long admired Dr. Ceylan’s work, and tonight, I invited her to dinner.” Terence turned to Jessica with a smug smile. “I’d advise you not to get too upset, Ms. Jessica. Your heart condition has been worsening, and if Dr. Ceylan doesn’t intervene, no one else will be able to treat you. If I were you, I’d be doing everything I could to win her favor.”
The words hit Jessica like a slap in the face, draining the color from her face in an instant.
Wendy watched her carefully, her expression void of sympathy. She didn’t feel an ounce of pity.
The Crone family dug their own graves. They didn’t deserve her sympathy.
