Ariana quickly held Sienna. "Sisi, take it easy. You can block Joanne, but since the gown has been sold, it's foolish if you don't take the money. Why should we pay so much as compensation because of her?"Ariana set the phone aside. "We'll design better clothes. By then, I'll wear them out and drive her mad.""That's right!" Sienna clenched her fists. "She doesn't look good even when she wears nice clothes! She has been posting on her social media. "A relationship will end faster when someone keeps parading it. I'd like to see how long she can show off like this!"Jensen said, "Spencer isn't only a jerk, but he's also blind. You should've dumped a man like him in the trash can.""Exactly!" Sienna felt indignant and took Jensen's side. "Jensen's right! Trash should stay where they belong. He should be considered toxic waste!" Ariana couldn't help laughing. She had been frustrated because of love, and at that moment, she finally saw a glimmer of light within the darkness. She
Spencer paused and looked down before averting his gaze. Connor took a sip of the alcohol and said, "I mean it."Spencer's gaze grew cold. "If you have nothing better to do, you should go for a jog outside."Connor set the bottle down. "I shouldn't have let you—""Connor Stone." Spencer's voice wasn't loud but cold. "Get out."Connor immediately stood up. "I've only said this because I regard you like my own brother! Do you know you've been cheated on?"Spencer shot him a fierce look.Feeling enraged, Connor took out his phone and handed it to Spencer. "You don't trust me? We've been friends for so many years. Have I ever gotten you in trouble?"Spencer didn't take the phone. He merely cast his gaze on it.The photo wasn't clear, but he could tell from the angle that it had been taken secretly. He could vaguely see that the man in the photo was Jensen. The woman in the passenger's seat with a small face and fair skin was actually Ariana."They kissed!" Connor gritted his
That person knew that he couldn't offend the Stone family. Hence, he quickly went to Joanne. Joanne didn't know that Connor had talked to Spencer. She wondered why Connor didn't do anything after seeing the photo. She was afraid Connor would find out it was her after further investigation, so she could only tell that person to heed Connor's order.At the same time, she also dared not send the photo around. Since Spencer was resting, she could seize the chance to ask Connor about it indirectly. She remembered that Connor had issues with Ariana. After chatting for a while, Joanne intentionally mentioned Ariana. After pondering for a while, she asked, "Do you still remember my brother, Jeremy?"Connor had only seen Jeremy once from afar. He nodded absent-mindedly. "Yes.""He studied medicine. But I didn't know it was so difficult to get into Feynman Hospital."Jeremy was Joanne's only brother. Under her family's influence, she cared a lot about him. When Connor heard her
Back then, Joanne would nod obediently at everything Connor said.This time, she replied, "That won't do. Jeremy insists on getting into Feynman Hospital. His dream is to be a doctor there."Connor smiled. "What did Spencer say, then?""Spence had someone contact the head of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, but it didn't work."Connor darted his eyes back and forth. "It's okay. Leave this to me."Joanne was surprised. "Do you have a solution? But didn't you tell me to let it go just now?""I'll try." Connor added, "I'll try my best for you."Joanne immediately replied, "Mr. Stone, thank you so much.""No worries. Spence's my best friend. You don't have to thank me."Joanne seized the chance and said, "You're such a nice person. Why isn't Ariana getting along with you? Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"She had long heard that Spencer's friends had issues with Ariana. Connor replied, "Misunderstanding? No. I simply hate her."Joanne felt at ea
Spencer held her wrist. "It's fine. You should rest.""I'm not tired.""Sit down."Joanne knew he wouldn't repeat himself, so she sat down obediently. Connor said, "Jojo treats you so well. Don't you know how to be nice to her?"Joanne quickly explained, "Spence's just too tired. I heard that he worked overnight last night. It must've been exhausting.""Jojo, you're so caring and gentle. You'll make your family happy." Connor clicked his tongue and said, "Someone's so lucky."Spencer wanted to shut him up, but he glanced at Joanne and held himself back. After Joanne went to the bathroom, Connor said, "I think Jojo is a nice girl.""Do you think I don't know?"Connor asked, "Why did you—""Why would I not know? When did you become so nosy?" Spencer looked at him and warned, "You should just keep your mouth shut.""Are you coming back in such a hurry because of Ariana?" Seeing the stern look on Spencer's face, Connor promised, "This will be the last question!"Spencer snor
Ariana was in an appointment with her patient when Spencer called previously. She had hurt her ankle and couldn't perform surgeries, but she could still check on her patients.Jensen had answered the phone for her and informed her after that. He had told her that Spencer had thrown a fit and blithered, so he had talked back to him.Ariana knew Spencer's temper and how Jensen would react. The two had fought before, so it was no surprise that they would argue with each other.As soon as Spencer woke up and saw her, his gaze was intimidating. She had no choice but to stop him from speaking. Patients who suffered concussions shouldn't get too emotional, or it would worsen their conditions. However, Spencer didn't know about that. When he saw Ariana and recalled those things Jensen had said, he was so furious that he sat up immediately.Before he could speak, his body swayed, and he felt a bit dizzy.His fierce look was gone in an instant. Ariana took a pillow and placed it b
Joanne was startled. "Huh? Really? Spence, are you okay?""He's fine. There's something wrong with his brain."Spencer glared at Ariana furiously. "You're the one with a brain issue!"Joanne watched as the two fought with each other and somehow thought they seemed to be flirting.She had always felt insecure, so she immediately looked at Ariana. "Ari, Spence is injured, yet you're making him mad. Would you leave first? I'll take care of him."Ariana replied, "That's great, then. Otherwise, I'll have to pay to hire a caretaker."She was implying that Joanne was being a caretaker for free. Before Joanne said anything, Ariana smiled and said, "However, you'd better inform me if there's anything wrong with him. After all, they will need me—his lawfully wedded wife—to decide if he needs to be extubated next time." With that, Ariana wheeled herself out of the ward before the two could react.Spencer could vaguely sense the sarcasm in Ariana's words. He asked, "What extubation?"H
Ariana felt great after blocking Connor. Jensen asked, "Are you going to let Joanne take care of Spencer in the hospital?"Ariana replied, "What should I do, then? Do you think it'll change anything if I say no?""Does this mean that you've made up your mind?"Ariana naturally knew what he was referring to.Seeing that she fell silent, Jensen asked, "Or are you worried that Mr. Lubove will be against your decision?"It would be worse than that. Ariana could already imagine Kieran breaking her legs if she mentioned the divorce.To Kieran, his business was way more important than Ariana, although he had been saying that he would leave all his assets to her since she was his only daughter. Jensen knew about the Lubove family's situation. He was curious, too. Since the Luboves only had one daughter, it only made sense that they should be doting on Ariana. However, it was the opposite. Ariana had been brought up by her grandparents. Her grandparents had passed away after fal
