Harry didn't expect the manager to suddenly say that. Instantly, the blood drained from their faces, and they had no room for any rebuttal. The manager loudly instructed the staff, saying, "Hit it hard, and when you're done, you're done!" Upon receiving the orders, the group eagerly rubbed their hands together, full of enthusiasm. With the current economic downturn, everyone tightened their belts and refrained from any leisure activities, let alone venting their frustration. Rarely, they had this opportunity today to release their pent-up emotions through this task. Why wouldn't they take it? So, the group put all their effort into it, and in less than half an hour, the furniture in the house was smashed to pieces. The manager watched the venting scene with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and said, "Oh, by the way, Miss Jones also mentioned that in a couple of days, some renovation workers will come here to redecorate and repaint. If you don't mind the mess, you can continue to
Seeing that Shawn remained silent for a long time, Ivy continued, "Shawn, if I did something wrong, I hope you can tell me right away. Let's address it openly and honestly, without letting it fester, because such emotional conflicts waste time."In reality, Shawn understood everything she was saying. It's just that over the years, it had always been other people adapting and understanding his thoughts.The company's employees, his personal assistant, even Jasson were like that.They didn't need him to say much, as they were very capable of handling things on their own.But why was it that when it came to Ivy, he suddenly became finicky and unreasonable?Shawn was feeling quite frustrated because he felt that Ivy's rationality made him, someone who was used to being in control, somewhat afraid.Afraid that one day he might not be able to hold onto her."You haven't done anything wrong," he finally said after a long silence.Ivy paused for a moment, recalling what her grandmother had sa
On the following day, Ivy arrived at the hospital early. She wanted to finish checking up on her patients before Shawn's rehabilitation. The task of welcoming the new doctor had been delegated to Roland.After examining her patients, she received a call from Shawn. He informed her that there was an emergency meeting at the company, which would cause a delay.Ivy then took the opportunity to discuss Lily's condition with Alyssa."Dr. Jones, Lily is doing well and will be discharged today," Alyssa, although still an assistant doctor, was intelligent and had surpassed doctors who started with her, including Jenny.Seeing Alyssa's contented expression, Ivy had an idea. "I'll give you a little break. You can take Lily home."Alyssa politely declined, "No need, Lily and I already made plans last night. I won't be taking her today, but I'll visit her in a few days.""Alright."Just as Ivy finished speaking, her phone rang, and she eagerly answered, as she had been anxious about her friend's
"I'll take care of it right away," the special assistant said.He quickly gathered all the necessary information and sent it to all the media outlets. They were waiting for Tanya to release Lily's treatment plan so they could provide the evidence to counter her claims.However, a storm was brewing on Tanya's side. She only found out about the mess her irresponsible father had caused when she made time to visit Potts Medical Clinic."Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?" Tanya shouted angrily at her father, Director Ticko Potts.Director Ticko looked puzzled. "You're at the top of the game in the First Hospital of City A, and your medical skills are unrivaled. What are you afraid of?"Director Ticko was clearly out of the loop about how Tanya had climbed to the top over the years, and just like back when he didn't know Tanya and Ivy were college classmates, he couldn't comprehend why a golden opportunity to completely overshadow Ivy had turned into a source of fury for his da
Kevin's face fell instantly, and he stammered in response, "If I have to answer, then yes, I'm your bootlicker.""Is it because you can't do anything without me that you'd go to such lengths to help me?""Ivy, it's not like that!" He was eager to explain. "I just want to help you.""Any form of help from you is nothing but nauseating theatrics to me." Ivy ruthlessly tore away his insincere façade. "Kevin, please stop and disappear from my world. Otherwise, I'll accept interviews with the media and reveal every single thing you've done. I know your Alter family is in contact with the Smith family, hoping for a union."Kevin was taken aback, even though he knew that Ivy would eventually find out about it. The truth hitting him at this moment made him feel uneasy."Ivy, I didn't have a choice. My dad promised me that as long as I brought Alter Group back to life, he wouldn't interfere in my affairs anymore.""Ha!" Ivy coldly laughed at his naïveté. Ignoring his endless explanations, she
Ivy did indeed want to expose everything Tanya had done to the media, but when she contacted several media outlets, they all refused to antagonize the future Mrs. Alter of Alter Group and the rising star in the medical field.So, the evidence she sent was mostly returned to her unchanged.She couldn't believe that someone was willing to help her from behind the scenes.She carefully checked the media that published the news and found that all of them were the same media outlets that had interviewed and promoted the County Clinic in the past.This meant that DT Investment and Cato Alter were helping her.But why was Cato Alter helping her?With this in mind, Ivy hastily replied to Tanya, "Instead of questioning me here, you should reflect on whom you might have offended during this period. Don't put all the blame on me!"With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Tanya's response.She called Shawn and quickly told him what had happened. "Shawn, Cato Alter...""It was me who a
The nurse understood that the lady in front of her meant she wouldn't help her plea for leniency.The nurse had been unaware that the man she was assisting was married. The manager had only told her that he had been paralyzed for over ten years and asked her to take care of him. Her intention was to change her fate, and she didn't know he was married.But now, in this situation, she could only silently accept her punishment.After the nurse's dejected figure had completely disappeared, the executive assistant finally came back to his senses."It seems she doesn't realize she did something wrong," he remarked.Ivy, who was currently massaging Shawn, didn't raise her head but replied, "Her behavior today won't be a big issue with the manager. At most, she'll get a warning or a reprimand, but I hope she learns her lesson. Otherwise, with her attitude today, it'll be more harmful than helpful to other patients and herself."The fable of the farmer and the snake had led Ivy to reflect for
Half an hour later, an ambulance from First Hospital in City A arrived precisely at the doorstep of County Clinic.Colleagues from Potts Clinic assumed it was reinforcements sent by the hospital and began to cheer, summoning Dr. Potts and Tanya.Dr. Potts had been sulking in his office due to the scandal, but when he heard that people from First Hospital were coming, he and Tanya locked eyes and instantly regained their confidence."It seems that that old man, Bob Alter, can't bear to give up such a valuable asset as you," Dr. Potts proudly told Tanya as he prepared to greet the arrivals.Tanya was thrilled, especially when she saw that her mentor had come. She was both surprised and pleased."Teacher, why are you here?" She was overjoyed, as she had always thought that her teacher didn't like her. It turned out that, after the incident, her teacher was the first to support her.Thinking of this, Tanya ran up to her teacher and tried to take him inside to show off.But unexpectedly, P
