Chapter 917

Author: Little Happiness
However, Jennifer didn't notice Madison was hiding around the corner, staring at her with a sinister look. She felt ignored by Jennifer's team. Since everyone was focused on the surgery for the afternoon, she quietly slipped out of the meeting room.

Half an hour later, Jennifer finished discussing the surgery with her team.

She smiled. "Thank you all for your cooperation. Let's grab some lunch. Let's work together to ensure a smooth surgery."

It was almost 1:00 pm by the time Jennifer returned to her office. She planned to have a quick lunch to boost her energy before the surgery.

As soon as she entered her office, her phone started buzzing. Jennifer took out her phone and remembered she had connected it to the camera via Bluetooth earlier in the morning. The camera must have detected something unusual.

Jennifer thought Hailey had sneaked into her office again. After grabbing her lunchbox, she checked the surveillance video, intending to watch while eating.

    Madison decided to beat around the bush. "Aren't you interested in beating Jennifer?"Hailey had always thought of Jennifer as a thorn in her side. Since the opportunity arose, she wouldn't let it slip by. "Is it money you're after? Or something else?"Madison gave it a thought. "I want one million dollars. Also, a secure job offer in the future, how does that sound?"Hailey sucked in a deep breath. She hadn't expected Madison to be so bold. Madison continued, "If Jennifer is out of the way, you'll become the best cardiac surgeon here. Surely you'll have the authority to keep me in the department then, right?"Hailey desperately wanted to get rid of Jennifer. Now that the chance was presented, she wouldn't pass it up. So, she nodded. "Fine, tell me your plan. If it works, I can give you the money and help with your job too."With that, Madison approached Hailey and whispered, "I've already drugged Jennifer's food. It's a hallucinogen, and it'll take effect in about two hours. Co

    When the surgery began, Hailey waited in the operating room, eager for Jennifer to collapse so she could take over the surgery. However, as time passed, Jennifer and her team worked together seamlessly.Hailey grew anxious. Jennifer didn't seem like she took hallucinogens. Not only was she calm and composed, but her work was steady as they operated on the patient. As they reached the most critical stage of the procedure, Jennifer remained in control at the operating table.Madison was furious. Did Madison trick her?In the end, Jennifer stitched up the chest wound, having finished the surgery flawlessly. There were no mistakes or flaws. Hailey clenched her fists as she listened to the nurses and doctors around her praise Jennifer.After the surgery, Jennifer finally turned to the sweating Hailey and hummed meaningfully. "Dr. Brooks, I wasn't nervous while performing the surgery. But why are you sweating buckets? Is it too hot in here, or are you nervous?"What could Hailey say? Sh

    "You still dare to talk back?" Hailey slapped Madison again and angrily recounted everything that had happened during the surgery. She trembled with rage and clenched her teeth. "Do you know what happened earlier? I was humiliated in front of everyone because of you! And Jennifer? She completed the surgery smoothly. I bet she'll even become the department head by tomorrow!"Madison was stunned and shook her head in disbelief. "No! How could this happen? I clearly... Did she know about it from the start?"Just as she finished speaking, Jennifer pushed the door open and walked in with a stern expression. Both Hailey and Madison were shocked, panic spreading across their faces. Especially Madison. Her mind went blank as she realized she had just offended two major figures in the cardiac surgery department. What should she do now?Jennifer looked at them. "Was this your idea? Or... yours?"Hailey immediately denied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand a word."Madison qu

    Madison never expected to lose to Jennifer again. At that moment, all she could do was beg for mercy, hoping to avoid being sent to prison by Jennifer.However, Jennifer showed no hesitation this time. "If an apology could fix everything, we wouldn't need law enforcers, right? Don't bother. I've already called the police. The evidence is in their hands. Everyone must pay the price for their actions. Don't you agree, Dr. Brooks?"Hailey's heart raced. She hadn't expected Jennifer to act so decisively. Fortunately, she hadn't conspired with Madison. Otherwise, Jennifer might have destroyed her too. Hailey was angry at Madison for dragging her into this mess. Not only had she failed to gain anything, but she also ended up humiliated.So, she agreed, "You're absolutely right, Dr. Susan. A scheming brat like her deserves to learn a hard lesson. We can't show any mercy."With that, Madison collapsed to the ground with a blank look. Soon after, the police arrived and took Madison away. Th

    "Thank you, kind miss! It's rare to find a good teacher like you!" Herta was incredibly grateful. She added, "By the way, how is Madison doing at school? She hasn't been causing you any trouble, has she?"Jennifer hesitated. She watched as Maya started cooking after returning home. The young girl was likely malnourished and barely taller than the stove. Jennifer glanced at Herta, who appeared to be only in her 40s yet her hair was streaked with white and face worn with age.For a moment, Jennifer found herself at a loss for words. Sensing her silence, Herta continued, "Madison has always been a good student. If only she hadn't been born into our family. Someone as talented as her shouldn't have to work as a maid. It's such a shame. I divorced her father long ago, and with me being blind, she had to take care of her sister and me from a young age. Thankfully, she met a kind teacher willing to sponsor her education. I... I don't know how to thank you enough."By the end, Herta was s

    Jennifer quickly stopped Maxwell. "I haven't finished! I went to Madison's house earlier. Initially, I was thinking the same as you. I wanted her to regret everything and face the consequences. But when I got to her home and saw her blind mother and her innocent younger sister, I…"Maxwell finished her sentence. "You pitied her."Jennifer sighed and nodded. "Madison's mother and sister are really pitiful. How will they survive if she ends up in prison?"Maxwell snorted. "How could a mother like that raise such a devious and greedy daughter!""Madison's parents divorced when she was very young. Her mother is blind, has no job, and no education. How could she raise her properly?" Jennifer said softly. "I think Madison has learned her lesson through this. I don't plan to press charges further, but I'm not going to let her get off that easily either."Maxwell shook his head and pulled her into his arms. "I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or worried. You're too kind. Won't that

    Hugo didn't expect Jennifer to proudly introduce him instead of hiding him away. He was pleased by this and said to Jennifer, "Oh, I ordered some sweets for your colleagues." He turned to the others. "It's my sister's birthday today, and I would like to thank everyone for taking care of her! Please continue to treat her well!"Jennifer was stunned. Was it her birthday today? Her colleagues were envious, seeing that Jennifer had a loving husband and now a doting brother as well.Hugo quickly won over her colleagues. Jennifer hurriedly pulled him aside. She whispered, "What are you talking about? My birthday is still a long way off!""Today is your birthday!" Hugo said firmly. "You're my sister. How could I forget your birthday? The truth is, your last 28 birthdays were celebrated on the wrong day. Starting this year, you'll celebrate it on the right day."Realization dawned on Jennifer. Her previous birthdays were likely celebrated on the day her parents adopted her, but today was

    Each diamond was of the highest quality, and even their sizes were uniform. Jennifer was moved by Maxwell's thoughtfulness. Just as the two were about to embrace, they were interrupted by Hugo's cough."Alright, that's enough! Cass and Cal are here. Please keep this kid-friendly!" Hugo scooped up Cassidy and playfully pinched her cheek. "Isn't that right, Cass?"Cassidy shook her head. "No! Mommy and Daddy often play the kissing game at home, and my brother and I have seen it many times."Jennifer blushed at this, and even Maxwell wanted to find a hole to crawl into. When had the kids seen that?Maxwell quickly changed the subject. "Let's move on to the next part!"Hugo scoffed. He couldn't stand these gentlemen. What was there to be embarrassed about?As the music started, a waiter brought out the cake.Cassidy clapped her hands in glee. "Mommy, Daddy made this cake for you himself! I helped too. I made the little flowers on top! Aren't they pretty?""They're beautiful." Jenni

    After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

    Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

    It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

    Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

    Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

    Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

    A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

    As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

    Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
