Hugo didn't care."How dare you delay the divorce just because you're hospitalized? How much time would it take for you to sign the papers? I think you just don't want to leave and want to keep spending my family's money!""Hugo!" Helga was exasperated, and her chest was heaving violently. "How much of your money have I spent? How can you be so heartless?"She only spent the money she earned and hadn't spent a single dime while staying in the hospital. How could he say such things without betraying his conscience?"Don't get too worked up." Jenny walked over to calm Helga down. She looked at Hugo and said coldly, "Given her current condition, she cannot be discharged. Are you willing to be responsible if something happens to her?""What can happen? I think you're just taking her side." Hugo muttered softly. He was not as harsh toward Jenny as with Helga, but he still wasn't polite to her.Helga was so furious that she began coughing violently. Jenny knew that things couldn't go
Hugo never imagined Helga would dare talk to him like that.Pointing at her, he shouted, "Fine, woman! Before this, you pretended like you didn't want anything, but now you are fighting me on this. What can you do to me if I don't give in?""If you don't give in, I won't agree to the divorce!" Helga sneered. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was in a hurry.Hearing her say that, Hugo was furious. "No way! We must divorce!""If you want a divorce, give me the savings!" Helga now understood that she had no reason to give Hugo's mistress any advantage. How could she and her daughter live if she gave them everything?Hugo's face turned red with anger, but he still had no intention of agreeing. Jenny couldn't stand it any longer and said to him, "Hugo, even if you look past the fact that Helga has been your wife for many years, you should still think of your child. She is still young. Can you bear to let her live in poverty? She calls you 'dad.' The savings is not much for you. You still
After sending Helga back to the hospital and ensuring she was fine, Jenny left the ward. It was already time to get off work, and she remembered that she had made plans to have dinner with Stephanie, Leonard, and Alec that evening. Since she planned it, she couldn't be late.She hurriedly packed her things and headed out of the hospital. Alec was already waiting for her at the entrance."Dr. Walter, please get in the car." Alec waved to her, calling her Dr. Walter on purpose.Jenny glanced at him but didn't comment on it. "Come on, let's head to the restaurant.""Okay." Alec nodded, opening the passenger door for Jenny before getting into the driver's seat. The car pulled away, and the two departed from the hospital.Across the hospital entrance, Evan sat in his car, looking in the direction they had gone for a long time without moving."We suffered heavy losses this time. Almost none of the people we brought back from overseas are left. We're in big trouble," Howard Young said,
Jenny and Alec had chosen the restaurant and had already taken their seats. They were waiting for Stephanie and Leonard to arrive."By the way, did Leonard agree to come?" Jenny suddenly remembered to ask Alec. If Leonard didn't, their efforts would have been in vain.Alec glanced at her and chuckled helplessly, "Do you have so little confidence in me? Do you think I can't handle him?"Although Leonard had an unyielding personality and was not easily manipulated by others, Alec understood men to a certain extent.In terms of interests, Alec offered something Leonard would find hard to refuse. In terms of romance, Stephanie was there, giving him less reason to refuse Alec's invitation.Just then, Leonard appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. To Jenny's surprise, Stephanie arrived with him. The sight of them made Jenny smile instantly, wondering if it was fate that they came at the same time.Jenny waved at the two of them, gesturing for them to come over and sit down. Stepha
Leonard smiled as he took a sip from his glass. "Do you really need to ask that, Mr. Faust?" Alec returned his smile. If it wasn't for Paul, he would think that Leonard and Stephanie were quite suitable for each other. He sighed inwardly and worried about Paul. How could he deal with such a strong competitor?"Mr. Faust, why don't we talk about our cooperation?" He was unfamiliar with Alec and didn't want to talk to him about Stephanie. Alec regained his composure and began explaining the cooperation he had in mind.Meanwhile, in the restroom, Stephanie was annoyed with Jenny. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Jenny asked, a little puzzled."What are you trying to do? Why did you ask Leonard so many questions?" Stephanie pretended to be displeased. Although she knew that Jenny meant no harm, asking so many questions on their first meeting was inappropriate. Although they had met at the police station before, this was their first proper meeting.Jenny's grin grew wider, and
Jenny and Stephanie returned to the dining table to see Leonard and Alec chatting happily. It seemed that their cooperation was going well.Jenny turned to look at Stephanie. She didn't get an answer to her question when she asked Stephanie whether she still liked Paul. Stephanie said she didn't know.Although she had rejected that man many times, she would occasionally think of him and couldn't let go of their past as easily as she had imagined. It didn't seem right if she said she didn't have any feelings for him."Stephanie," Leonard called. He was sitting opposite her, looking at her. "What are you thinking about?"He noticed that Stephanie's gaze drifted off, and she didn't react when he helped her with the food."Huh? Nothing," Stephanie said, feeling a bit embarrassed. There was no way she could admit that she had been thinking about Paul."If there's anything I can help with, let me know. Don't be shy," Leonard said. They weren't close to each other, even though they were
Paul took a sip of his drink and looked at Alec, who sat across from him. "I'm here to have a meal. What else?""If Stephanie sees you, she might not think the same way," Alec retorted with a roll of his eyes. Stephanie was very annoyed with Paul constantly monitoring her, but he didn't seem to know how to control himself.Paul frowned at that comment. "What are you and Jenny up to? Are you two opposing me on purpose?" Even a fool could tell what they were trying to do."You're overthinking it. I met with Leonard to discuss the possibility of working with him. As for anything that's going on between him and Stephanie, I have no right to intervene," Alec replied. Before Paul could say anything, he continued, "However, what Jenny wants to do is her own business.""Her own business?" Paul sneered. "She's just nosy. What does my relationship with Stephanie have anything to do with her?""She and Stephanie are good friends. How is that none of her business?" Alec questioned.Paul
As they couldn't continue the conversation, Alec didn't force it. "Don't worry, I meant what I said earlier. I won't interfere with what's going on between Stephanie and Leonard. But there's one thing I have to make clear." Alec then looked at Paul with a cold gaze. "If you dare to lay a finger on Jenny, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood."He knew Paul well. If Jenny brought Stephanie and Leonard together, Paul would blame Jenny for it. If that happened, there was a high possibility that Paul might resort to something irrational.Paul didn't say anything, so Alec stopped talking. Some things only needed to be said once.Alec got up and made to leave. "You should go back."Then, he turned around and walked back to Jenny. Whether Paul took his advice and left wasn't something he could control, so he wasn't concerned about it.After the four of them had dinner, they didn't rush to go home but strolled along the riverbank. Jenny and Alec walked in front, deliberately giv
