Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Romantic Chemistry

"I don't care!" Nancy finally lost her temper and shouted, "I do not know him at all. Even if we had small talk. So what? I'm a doctor here."

Gretchen narrowed her eyes slightly, "Tell me the truth. You wanted to set that girl up and make her suffer. But she got the upper hand in the end. Am I right?"

Nancy subconsciously retorted, "No, you're wrong. What the hell are you doing here? Did you run out of money again? I just gave you some not long ago."

Speaking of money, Gretchen's eyes lit up. She lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Nancy noticed it and sneered. She should have known her mom better. What she wanted was simple and never changed, money.

"Tell me, how much do you want this time?" Nancy leaned back in her chair arrogantly, examining her up and down.

Irritated by Nancy's contempt, Gretchen frowned, "Don't talk to me like that. Do I ask for money every time I come to see you?"

Nancy responded with just a sneer. After letting out a sigh, she seemed to accept her fate and took a credit card out from her purse and threw it at Gretchen.

"There is 50,0000 on the card. What the hell are you doing these days? I remember I just gave you a lot of money not long ago."

Gretchen grabbed the card instantly and hid it in her pocket, "I'm not here for the money. But I saw the news on TV that Daniel issued a legal announcement to protect Chloe against all rumors. Have you heard of it?"

Of course, Nancy did. She even knew every detail of it. Therefore, her face darkened and she was too angry to say anything.

Gretchen continued anyway, "I can give you some advice. If you want to win a man's heart, you should work hard to seduce him. Look what a mess you made!"

"When did I tell you I need your advice?" Nancy growled and glared at Gretchen, "What about you and your lover? What's his job? A pimp?"

"You are crazy!" Gretchen avoided the topic and stood up to leave. Before she went, she added, "You'd better hurry to find a rich husband. Look at your face. Do you think you can compete with a young and pretty girl?"

The door was closed and the office finally quieted down. But Nancy's heart was storming and it took her a long time to finally calm down.

Gretchen was right. She needed to hurry up. But what could be done to win Daniel over?

The next morning, when Chloe woke up, she saw a visitor in the ward.

"Mrs. Bruce, good morning." Tyler saw her and greeted her respectfully and politely.

Still in a daze, Chloe gave him a nod and headed to the bathroom.

So she just agreed she was Mrs. Bruce? Tyler was indeed happy for his boss.

While Daniel glanced at him suspiciously, "What's on your mind? You are smiling weirdly."

Tyler shook his head at once,"Nothing weird. I was thinking about work."

"Work? Too much work? Or too difficult for you? You want to get a chance?" Daniel turned to him.

"Absolutely not!" Tyler read his tone and answered seriously.

Daniel hid his smile and asked coldly, "So who did it last night?"

Tyler answered, "The surveillance videos were all deleted, which means the perpetrator is superb about network information security. After all, it's nearly impossible to accomplish so many tasks in such a short time."

"A superb hacker?" Daniel asked.

"Could be. We are still investigating."

Daniel looked at the picture message he had just received this morning.

"Join you, hate you!"

But what did this mean? He couldn't understand.

Later, Chloe came out of the bathroom and asked, "Who came by just now?"

While Daniel pointed at the table and said to her, "Have breakfast first. Tyler came just now."

After breakfast, to Chloe's surprise, Lisa and Ryan visited them together.

As soon as Lisa saw Chloe, she gave Chloe a big hug, "Chloe, I'm sorry."

Chloe was confused, "What for? What have you done to me?"

"It's all my fault. I was so emotional and treated you rudely that day." Lisa pouted, looking very upset, "I also need to thank Mr. Bruce sincerely, for helping my dad through the crisis."

Lisa put the flowers she bought on the table, "Mr. Bruce, I can never thank you enough. But thank you!"

Daniel gave a smile, "You are welcome."

While Ryan looked at Daniel with a smug smile, "Not bad, nice shot."

Daniel rolled his eyes, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Ryan sat down casually, "I saw the news. You and the Bruce Group had a busy night. Everything OK?"

Daniel's face turned cold after he recalled the drama, "I knew someone was aiming at me. I consider it's a good chance to kick them out."

Ryan took a meaningful look at him, "I heard that some people wanted to make a scene out of it and even took advantage of your absence in the company to bring you down"

Daniel raised a fierce smile, "In this way, I'd like to give them more time and see what they are capable of."

Cocky. Ryan was impressed and gave him a thumbs-up.

While Chloe and Lisa were chatting in the corridor.

"Why did you come here with Ryan?"

Speaking of it, Lisa got angry, "We happened to see each other and that's all. He asked me to pay for his clothes as soon as we met. I wanted to give him money. But he's just unbelievable. He wanted the same exact suit instead of money!"

Sounded weird. Or maybe it's not that suit he was after?

Chloe grinned and nudged Lisa, "Do you think some romantic chemistry is going on between you?"

"What are you thinking? That's impossible, alright?" Lisa rolled her eyes and added, "By the way, the magazine you shot for was suddenly suspended because of the scandal last night. Evan burst with rage."
