Chapter 479

Daisy said smugly, "She's a Zidonian, but she's stealing everyone's thunder. Our chief even recommended her for the next promotion, and she'd definitely be the next attending physician if we didn't do a thing about it. Well, now that I've slipped that drug into the bath salt she prepared for that Zidonian patient, rumor is already spreading that she'll be fired soon. The patient must consider her incompetent now." "That's enough, dear. We should be celebrating-why don't we jump into the bath together?" Bob suggested.

"Oh, you dirty boy," Daisy purred.

On the way back, Irene did not say a word in the car.

“We just have to show Admin the video we recorded of them, and it's over for them both," Jeff said. "So why the long face?"

Irene said, "I hate intrigue. I really didn't expect them to do something like that."

“There's a promotion at stake, after all. Moreover, an attending physician in Mead Clinic is a department chief in any other hospital. Of course things would get competitive.”

Irene made a face. "They're definitely fired once we show the video, though. What do you think about that?"

“They don't deserve to stay in Mead anyway."

"Yeah," Irene said with a serious face. “They have my sympathy, but more so my wrath."

"Yes, ma'am," Jeff replied.

She alighted once they reached her apartment, and she shut the door and told him, "Drive safe.”

"Okay!" Jeff said.

Irene was about to head home straight away when Harvey intercepted her.

'Who was that man?" he asked.

"A colleague,” Irene replied, feeling exhausted and needing the rest, and told Harvey as much.

"Wait, you don't want to know about your brother and Spencer Holdings?" Harvey asked.

Irene smacked herself on the forehead right then. How did she manage to forget about that?!

"Come in, then."

Harvey scowled. "Are you going to dump me like a tool once I no longer serve any purpose?”

"You're a person, not a tool." Irene assured him, nestling on her couch once she was inside the house. "So, tell me."

Harvey pulled out a chair to sit in front of her. "Alright. Anyway, Spencer Holdings went bankrupt because your brother Ricky got a little too close to Lulu Adams.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene frowned. "What does that have to do with Lulu?"

“It has more to do with her ex, Zachary Slate. His wife suffered a miscarriage, so Zachary's mother took it out on Lulu, and worked together with the Lindts to destroy Spencer Holdings."

Irene lost her composure right then. "No way! Lulu would never sink that low!"

"Well, that's the information I received from a close associate. It won't be wrong," Harvey assured her.

That was when Irene remembered personally witnessing Ember Lindt paying off a man. He had put up several abusive banners outside the wedding hall of Ember and Zachary's wedding, but the crime was pinned on Lulu.

As for the so-called miscarriage...

Irene actually wondered if there was any truth to it.

"So? What are you going to do?" Harvey asked. "Are we homebound?" However, this was a key moment of Irene’s research project and she could not leave right now.

And it was not like she could do a thing if she rushed home now.

“Let me think about it," she said, while working hard to calm herself. Harvey saw that her face was pale. "You're really working yourself too hard. You're pregnant, remember?"

He got to his feet. "You didn't have dinner, right? I'll get you something to eat.”

Irene was deep in thought and could not hear him, but he left anyway. He headed to a Zidonian diner and bought a nutritious set dinner, and started to head back...

Meanwhile, James had obtained Jane Tanner's address from Mead Clinic. He was going there to drive her to Olston Hotel since Isaac needed her massage to fall asleep.

Still, just as he alighted, he spotted Harvey with boxes of food.

What was he doing here?

James was puzzled and followed him into the apartment building!
