Chapter 562

After all, Tristan wasn’t the only man in the world.

In the face of Minerva’s advice, Jennifer flashed her a blinding smile.

“You don’t understand, Minerva. You’ll know when you fall in love with someone in the future. If it were so easy to give up, then you don’t really love him in the first place.”

All things said, true love doesn’t give up easily.

“But one-sided love is sheer agony. It’s nothing to the person on the receiving end, but it’s too painful for the person with the unreciprocated feelings!” Minerva was aware of Jennifer’s feelings in the past ten years and knew how much she had suffered.

If this is love, I’d rather not fall in love for the rest of my life. I really don’t want to be put through the wringer.

Subsequently, Jennifer eagerly made a call to the most renowned private detective agency in Jipsdale.

“Remember this—money is not an issue as long as you uncover this man’s identity!”

Seeing her all worked up, Minerva wasn’t sure whether she had done the right thing in showing Jennifer the video.

As a friend, she naturally hoped that Jennifer would have her wish come true.

But then, the sight of the woman in such a frenzied state had a sliver of regret creeping into her.

It’s clear as day that Sophie is no easy prey. Is it really okay for Jennifer to remain so obstinate? And would she end up getting hurt in the end? If that happens, wouldn’t I be the culprit of it all?

Ultimately, she could only leave Jennifer’s office silently, incapable of dissuading the latter.

Well, such is her nature. As long as it’s something she wants, she’ll want to procure it even if it means stooping to despicable means. I only hope she doesn’t get hurt in the end. But it’s just a matter of having a detective agency investigate a man’s identity, so it should be fine.

Only when Jennifer had ended her call with the private detective agency did she realize that Minerva was no longer there. Nevertheless, she wasn’t bothered about it.

At that moment, she was in a great mood.

I’ll just wait and see Sophie’s tragic end. Since she dares to steal my man, I’ll certainly have her regret it!

When Sophie arrived at school, she was greeted by the sight of Simon standing at the door, blocking her path.

Her brows knitted together.

“Move aside!”

On the contrary, Simon was all smiles.

“I was in the wrong about what happened previously. I hope you can forgive me. As you know, my father is the director of the biggest private hospital in Jipsdale. Why don’t you consider joining us when you graduate in the future?” he queried ingratiatingly.

It was pretty late then, so many were already seated in class. They all went green with envy upon hearing that.

Whoa! That’s the largest private hospital in Jipsdale.

Whoa! That’s the largest private hospital in Jipsdale.

Needless to say, that hospital offered the highest pay and best benefits.

Countless people competed among themselves to work there, yet Sophie was offered a position in the hospital without having to expend any effort.

As such, she naturally drew envy from others.

“She’s really something else! It’s just been a few days, but she already has Simon wrapped around her little finger!” We haven’t even graduated, yet she already has such a golden opportunity!

“How sickening is it that she’s going around and seducing men all the time just because she’s beautiful!”

“Hear, hear! I noticed that many boys like her, but she’s too aloof, so no one dares to pursue her!”

“The lot of you are obviously jealous! She’s the most outstanding student in our class at present, so even the biggest public hospital in Jipsdale would undoubtedly fall all over itself to have such a prodigy join them, much less private hospitals!” Eventually, Sandra couldn’t stand listening to them anymore.

Simon merely has his sights set on Sophie’s talents!

“What do you mean by that, Sandra? Or have you already ingratiated yourself with her, huh?” It went without saying that Greta was loathed to hear someone defending Sophie.

She had always liked Simon and hoped to join his family’s private hospital.

Alas, he remained unmoved even after she had pursued him for such a long time. Hence, resentment inundated her that he was showing Sophie such favor then.

“So what if I have?” If it were in the past, Sandra absolutely wouldn’t want to yak with them. But right then, she had to side with Sophie when the latter had been so good to her.

“Oh, really?” Greta snorted disdainfully. I might not be able to do anything about Sophie, but Sandra is a different story altogether!

The look in her eyes promptly clued Sandra in as to her intention.

“Let me warn you, Greta. You’d best not play any tricks. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy!”

Meanwhile, Sophie stared at Simon in front of her.

Why do his words sound so familiar? And why is it that everyone hopes that I’ll join their hospital?

“Sorry, I’m not interested in your family’s hospital at all. Also, you’d best move out of my way right now.

Otherwise, you might very well be the next patient who’s sent to your family’s hospital!”

Everyone else never expected her to give up such a golden opportunity when it was a chance others could only dream of.

“Since Sophie doesn’t want to join your family’s hospital, Simon, how about I do so instead?”

After all, it was no easy feat to find a good job these days.

“Count me in!”

Simon swept a scornful gaze over them.

“Dream on!”

Hah! Do they think that anyone can compare to Sophie? Truly, they think too highly of themselves!

Despite having been rebuffed in public, he didn’t fly into a rage. He merely moved aside wordlessly and allowed Sophie to enter the class.

Sophie went to her seat with her bag on her shoulders. The look in Greta’s eyes as she glowered at Sophie was so sinister that it was as though it had been steeped in poison.

At that very instant, the urge to kill Sophie gripped her.

I went to great lengths in hopes of securing all that, but she got them without any effort. Worse still, she doesn’t appreciate them in the least!

Sheer resentment flooded her.

As soon as Sophie sat down, Sandra came over.

“Sophie, if you encountered this problem, how would you solve it?” She had been reading a surgical casebook recently, in which were some classical surgeries.

Sophie scanned her eyes over it before giving voice to her thoughts. When the others heard Sandra asking that question, they all perked up their ears. Upon hearing the solution then, they were impressed beyond words.

Sure enough, a prodigy will always be a prodigy! She’s incredible!

Likewise, Sandra gazed at Sophie with admiration written all over her face after listening to the latter’s answer.

Simon, on the other hand, was wholly stunned. As expected, she’s a genius! I must get her to join my family’s hospital!

After classes ended in the evening, Sandra and Sophie headed out to have dinner together. However, before they had even reached the cafeteria, Sophie received a call from Ysabelle.

It turned out that the latter came over to look for her.

Thus, the party of two turned into a party of three.

Sophie made the introductions. Ysabelle and Sandra were both outgoing people, so they got along smashingly in no time.

“Sophie, I heard from Uncle Tristan that you’re planning to skip a grade?” I’ve previously heard of people skipping grades in elementary, junior high, and senior high, but I never thought that she would want to skip grades when she’s now studying at the University of Medicine and Jipsdale University both. Are the classes really that easy?

“What? Skip a grade?” Sandra was wholly floored. The courses at the University of Medicine aren’t simple at all, are they?

“Yeah.”

However, Sophie merely nodded as though they were speaking of the weather that day.
