The Haddocks hated her.
They were here to hound her, with Arthurâs surgery as their excuse.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Ashlyn remained, watching silently from the side. She had not liked any members of the Haddock family.
Although she was not a saint, nor a woman with overflowing sympathy, she did not enjoy the sight of Jennifer bullying Sienna.
She furrowed her brows before taking a step forward to grab Jenniferâs wrist. âMs. Haddock, the hospital isnât a place for you to run wild. Please donât affect the other patientsâ recuperation.â
âWho are you? Who do you think you are? Iâm teaching my own siblings a lesson, and itâs none of your business.â Jenniferâs wrist had hurt from her tight grip; she could not help but release her grip on Sienna to fling Ashlynâs hand away.
âThis is a hospital, and Mr. Haddock is my patient. Can you bear the responsibility for disrupting the other patientsâ rests?â Ashlyn stared at her with a questioning gaze.
Jennifer rubbed her sore wrist as she glared back, in return. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought, What a beautiful woman! Sheâs the old manâs attending doctor? How can that be? Whose leg is she trying to pull?
âWhat rubbish are you talking about? There arenât any doctors as young as you. If youâre his attending doctor, Iâll film myself eating sh*t!â Jennifer sneered in disdain.
Suddenly, dozens of bodyguards swarmed toward them. It was a terrifying sight to witness.
The leading man had a tray of something dark and slimy. Before Jennifer could see what it was, several other bodyguards had restrained her.

Spencer stepped on her knees and forced her to kneel before Ashlyn.
Throwing the tray with the black slimy stuff in front of her, Ashlyn uttered, âGo ahead, Ms. Haddock.â
Jennifer was so shocked that her face appeared pale, despite the thick foundation that she had applied. âWho are you? What are you trying to do? Weâre in broad daylight. What are you going to do?
Do you know who I am?â
The black, slimy stuff in the tray was disgusting, to say the least.
Its pungent scent wafted across her nose, making her gag.
One of the bodyguards forced Jennifer towards the tray, and she was now an inch away from it.
Jennifer pursed her lips into a straight line as she widened her eyes. Tears brimmed in them.
The rest of the Haddocks were staring at them, stupefied.
Where did these bodyguards come from?
The first to return to their senses was Korbin. Without saying another word, he rushed over, trying to rescue Jennifer from the men in black. However, he was far from a decent fighter, and he could not even cause the man to budge.
Anxious, he shouted, âSheâs Jennifer Haddock! If you really force her to eat sh*t, Dixon wonât ever let you off the hook!â
âIs that so?â A cold voice snorted before a towering man walked towards them. Turning to Dixon, he asked, âMr. Haddock, what are you going to do with me?â
A soft but cold voice scoffed, âMr. Nolan, arenât you funny? Theyâre merely pieces of trash. Theyâre not worth my time.â
Korbin widened his eyes as he turned towards the direction of the voice. Then, he took two steps back in disbelief. What? How can this be?
At the end of the corridor, two equally tall men with vastly different temperaments slowly walked towards them.
Both were wearing black suits, but Lucas had sharp features with a frigid look. He looked noble and elegant. With one hand in his pocket, his strong presence commanded all eyes in the room to turn to him.
Dixon, on the other hand, was not as captivating as Lucas was. However, his soft features, which were much more feminine than a beautiful womanâs, had a tinge of attractive slyness to them. His looks sent shivers down any onlookersâ spines.
When the two men came closer to them, Lucasâ expression grew colder and gloomier. The heavy feeling that he had brought with him made everyoneâs heart skip a beat.
He lowered his eyes to look at Ashlyn. âAre you hurt?â
Ashlyn shook her head.
Dixonâs cunning eyes glanced at a disheveled Sienna. Her hair and clothes were in a mess, and strands of her hair were lying on the ground, torn out by Jennifer.
