Chapter 541

This matter was something of an open secret in their social circle. Recently, Luke had hinted during the interview that he liked someone. Mrs. Walker had initially wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to announce Luke's "engagement," but she feared he might refuse to play along, embarrassing her and making her family the laughingstock of their social circle."If Mrs. Walker already has someone in mind, why is she trying to matchmake with the Smith family?"What game was Mrs. Walker playing?I couldn't figure it out for the life of me."She didn't specify whether she meant me or Jenny," Wendy scoffed. "Yesterday, when those two heard Mrs. Walker was visiting the Smiths, they got all dolled up. Mrs. Walker kept complimenting them and even gave Jenny an expensive antique bracelet before she left.""..." Mrs. Walker loved to win people over, always seeming to have a gift at the ready. Suddenly, it dawned on me. "Is she trying to drive a wedge between you, Sarah, and her daught

Jon felt uneasy and scared in the unfamiliar environment. To help him cooperate with the medical examination, Stephen took the initiative to contact Penelope.The three of them, along with Annette, were on their way to the hospital.I informed Wendy of the situation."Looks like it's time for her backburner guy to shine," Wendy remarked.Me: ...As it was time for Wendy to start work, we ended our call.I called Penelope back.Amidst the commotion on the other end, Joey's voice rang out, "Who told you to bring him here? His health is fragile, and I won't allow him to do a bone marrow match for me!"Joey was agitated. "Take him home right now!"Joey was relatively polite to Annette, who tried to calm her down. "Ms. Parker, Jon is in good health. If the compatibility test is successful...""He won't be compatible with me!" Joey's temper had worsened since learning about her serious illness.After speaking, she noticed everyone staring at her and looked away. "All of you, get o

Joey was Jon's older sister. Despite Penelope's grievances against Joey, she wouldn't do anything to interfere with Stephen's plans. Stephen had decided to keep Joey in the dark and proceed with getting Jon tested for a match. Penelope cooperated with him and helped calm Jon down. The results from the match test would take about four days.Ever since Joey was hospitalized, her temper had grown more volatile.While I was chatting with Jen, I received a message from Wendy, asking why I wanted to resign.I couldn't tell Wendy the real reason.I tapped a few times on my phone, suddenly feeling the urge to relax and enjoy life a little.Wendy: "That's a great idea! Take it easy!"The same Wendy who had been trying to convince me otherwise on the phone earlier had now completely changed her tune. Her support instantly made me feel much more relieved.Wendy: "As long as you're not leaving for another job, you can relax. I'll take care of you! I just have one small request. Could you wa

When he learned that Luke wanted to meet Joe in person, he quickly objected, "Joe Harris is a lone wolf. He doesn't like interacting with people. His personality is a lot like Mr. Walker's. If you put two ice-cold personalities together, are they going to have a contest over who can be more aloof?"Me: ..."I barely managed to get two words out of Joe. I'm counting on this deal to go through. Please, don't let Mr. Walker mess this up for me!""Mr. Walker isn't aloof; he's just experienced and wise without losing his kindness.""Ms. Middleton, you've been his assistant for a while now. Hasn't he made things difficult for you? How do you still see him through rose-colored glasses?""..." Luke just had high standards for work; he wasn't nitpicky. The candidates Henry had listed earlier had impressive educational backgrounds and resumes, but no outstanding achievements in their work.Hanque had already signed Jon, and Luke had high hopes for Hanque. He wanted to achieve mutual succes

"What casting couch? Can't you think of anything wholesome?" Jenny thrust her hand in front of Wendy's face. "I found out this bracelet belonged to European royalty from the 14th century. It's incredibly valuable!""Fine jewels suit fine ladies. You're just a plain Jane trying to boost your appeal with fancy accessories.""... I'm pretty!""Not compared to me." Wendy looked up, her eyes scanning Jenny's face. "Your eyes are big but vacant. Your nose is too high and sharp, sticking out like a mountain on your face. It looks so out of place, as if it might break free from your big round face and set up shop on its own. And those thick lips...""Wendy, shut up! Stop talking!""My mouth is on my face. I'll say what I want. You can't control that." Wendy smiled at Jenny. "And that neck of yours..."When Wendy mentioned her neck, Jenny quickly covered it with her hand."Alright, I won't talk about your neck."Jenny lowered her hand, relieved.Wendy continued, "Most people have swan

I called her name again, but still got no response from Annette.Had Annette's phone accidentally dialed me?I was about to hang up when I finally heard Annette's voice."Ms. Parker, please calm down.""How can I be calm?" Joey's voice was shrill and grating. "I told you not to let Jon be tested for compatibility. Why didn't you listen?""Ms. Parker...""You bunch of useless idiots!""We just want to cure your illness as quickly as possible.""I've told you, Jon won't be a match for me!""You and Jon are siblings. The doctor said the chances of compatibility between family members...""Doctor this, doctor that. Can't you think for yourselves? Jon is my brother, and I'm his guardian. I don't agree to him being tested. Why won't you listen?"Joey was extremely agitated, roaring like an enraged lion.Her reaction puzzled me, and a suspicion began to form in my mind.Jon wasn't Joey's brother...But that couldn't be!Jon's condition was special, and hiring someone to care fo

"Let's meet at the orphanage."Eager to uncover the truth, I met Penelope at the orphanage entrance half an hour later.Penelope wore a short brown jacket over a black top, paired with slim-fit jeans that showcased her long, slender legs. Her smile was warm and friendly when she saw me, exuding much more confidence than when we first met.As I got out of the car, she took my hand. "Jen, you're so busy with work. You didn't need to come personally for this small matter. I could have handled it."As she spoke, Penelope glanced at my wrist, checking my injury."My wound has healed a lot," I said, touched by her genuine concern. I gently smoothed her wind-tousled hair. "Work was light today. If I went home, I'd just be obsessing over Joey and Jon's relationship. I might as well join you to uncover the truth. It's cold; let's go inside and talk."As we walked, I explained, "On my way here, I contacted the orphanage staff. They've informed the director about our visit."Penelope knew

Penelope said, "Jon has type B blood.""Type B? Impossible!" The director's tone was certain. "I put Jon's medical records in their files. I'll get them for you."Due to Joey and Jon's special blood types, their files were kept in a locked cabinet in the director's office. The director got up, went to the cabinet, unlocked it with a key, took out the files, and found Jon's medical records.Penelope opened her phone and found the compatibility test results. "Jen, look at this."The results showed Joey and Jon's blood types.Joey was Rh-negative, while Jon was type B.As the director handed over the medical records, Penelope showed her the test results.After looking, the director said, puzzled, "Could the hospital have made a mistake?""No," I said. Stephen was very attentive to Joey's situation. Given Joey's rare blood type, Jon had the highest chance of being compatible. Stephen would never allow any mistakes in the testing."Jon being Rh-negative is certain. His intelligence

After hearing from Annette that Jon was generally healthy, rarely got sick, and had never had surgery except for his recent hospital stay due to an emotional breakdown, we were at a loss to explain the discrepancy.After some thought, I asked, "Director, could we make a copy of Jon's medical records?"The director looked hesitant.I assured her, "Don't worry, we won't disclose that Joey and Jon have rare blood types.""They left our care. Joey is a very responsible sister, and we're glad she could take on the responsibility of caring for her brother. It's a shame she's gone down the wrong path now. We hope she can turn her life around," the director said regretfully, aware of Joey's widely publicized situation.Penelope added, "We hope she can change for the better too."Though it seems unlikely at this point."The copier is over there," the director said, gesturing to a corner of the office, indicating that she was agreeing to let us copy the records.After we finished copying

"Kids' appearances change so quickly. After a year, they can look completely different. When Joey and Jon came back to the orphanage, they were in a terrible state—skin and bones, their hair a mess. If Joey hadn't spoken up and told us their names, we wouldn't have recognized either of them," the orphanage director recalled. "Jon was always quiet, so we didn't pay him much attention. Aside from his birthmark, there's not much more I can tell you.""You've already helped us a lot," Penelope said gratefully. "We won't take up more of your time. I'll come by again this weekend to see the kids.""Take care on your way back," the director said, walking us to the gate of the orphanage. "Once you find out the results, be sure to let me know.""Of course, Director!"Penelope and I waved goodbye to the director before unlocking the car.Penelope didn't want to trouble me and was about to hail a taxi."I'll drive you home," I insisted."Jen...""I'm your cousin, right? So why are you sti
