Chapter 166 Another Slap
Jennifer appeared at the door to the research lab just as Melinda ended her call with Stanley. She phone away and turned around, only to find Jennifer walking into the room.
put
her
She looks like she’s here to interrogate me. What’s that in her hand? Melinda wondered.
Jennifer stopped in front of her and glared at her.
“What-
Before Melinda could say another word, Jennifer threw the agreement at Melinda’s face.
Melinda caught the document. Once she saw the contents, she stared at Jennifer in disbelief. “You went over to Emerald Harbor?”
“I did.” Jennifer stared at Melinda with an icy gaze and raised her head haughtily. “I cleared out all your things, too.”
Melinda frowned at that.
“Explain this to me!” Jennifer fumed. “What a greedy woman you are! How dare you ask my son for 150 million! How dare you force him into drawing up an agreement! Why don’t you force him into setting up a will while you’re at it?!”
Melinda couldn’t think of a way to explain the situation.
Jennifer snatched the agreement out of her hands, ripped it into pieces, and tossed the pieces into the air.
The scraps of paper fell like snow and scattered all over Melinda’s hair, shoulders, clothes, and shoes.
Melinda was upset. She didn’t know how to explain this and was afraid of making Jennifer even angrier. So, she chose to remain silent.
Slap!
An ear-splitting sound rang out as Melinda was slapped hard across the cheek!
The sound alone made it clear that this slap was ten times more painful than the one she had received last night!
Melinda instinctively clutched her face with one hand. The force from the slap had been strong enough to send her world spinning, and she would have stumbled to the floor had she not managed to catch her balance using the window behind her. She could taste blood in her mouth, and some of her teeth felt loose.
Alas, the physical pain paled in comparison to the pain in her heart.
Her heart ached for Stanley.
“Here I was wondering just how saintly your love for him is!” Jennifer’s gaze cut like a knife. “You were even willing to bear his children and raise them yourself! I thought you didn’t care about materialistic things, but here you are, demanding 150 million! How dare you act like you’re so in love with him?!”
Melinda looked down at the torn agreement. Her head was still spinning from the slap. “I didn’t.” Her head buzzed as she looked at Jennifer and declared, “I didn’t anovelxo.com fast updatesk him for this. He was the one who wanted to
“You think he’s a fool with deep pockets?” Jennifer snorted. She didn’t believe a single word Melinda said. “What a scheming woman you are! I know just how important I am to Stanley. He searched far and wide for a doctor who could heal me! He would’ve handed over the entire Fox Group if he had to!”
“Hah!” Jennifer sneered. “Unfortunately, no one will be able to make him do that.”
He would even hand over For Group, huh? She’s far more important to him than I thought, Melinda thought to herself. Then, she smiled faintly. “Now that you have torn the agreement, you can finally relax, right? You can now accept my treatment without being worried anymore, can’t you?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennifer wanted nothing more than to be well again, but more than anything, she despised the hypocritical and deceitful woman before her!
Melinda had shown up and ruined all her plans, after all. She put me in a difficult position with both Monica and Stanley!
Just then, a car drove up the driveway.
Soon, Stephanie came up and informed Jennifer, “Dr. Cohen is here, Miss Fox.”
Jennifer eyed the scraps of paper on the floor and sneered as she glanced at the woman with bleeding lips. She turned on her heels and walked off.
Stephanie was dumbstruck by what she saw from the doorway. Why did Miss Fox hit her again?
As Jennifer walked past Stephanie, Stephanie quickly followed along and muttered nervously, “You shouldn’t hit her, Miss Fox. Mr. Fox will be back soon.”
Alas, Jennifer still needed an outlet for her fury!
Approximately five minutes had passed, and Melinda saw Taylor walking out of the house and driving off in the car.
Her eyes flashed with despair. She slumped to the ground by the window and hugged her knees in exhaustion. All along, she was someone who would never initiate any kind of conflict, but it was an eye for an eye if someone did cross her.
She fought the father of Samuel’s kindergarten classmate before, and it wasn’t just once. No matter what happened, she never took any kind of mistreatment lying down!
However, she was a doctor, so her professional ethics stopped her from wanting to get even with a patient. Especially since the patient is Stanley’s mother….
Inside the gorgeous castle estate in Arunia, Monica was sitting inside a lavishly decorated room and enjoying some afternoon tea when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up.
A few young maids pushed a rack of clothes in, and the rack was filled with pretty gowns.
Monica stood up in bewilderment. “Have you entered the wrong room?”
The blue-eyed maid smiled at her with envious eyes and said, “I have good news for you, Miss Keller. You and Mr. Fox will be the ambassadors for the debut of Miss Alice’s first-ever diamond ring design.”
