CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: SCUMBAGS AND SLUTS DESERVE TO DIE

Sabrina sighed helplessly, "Are you doing a background check? It’s also my first time seeing him, there’s no way I could know how old he is or if he’s in a relationship. But as for his appearance..."

She recalled that almost flawless gorgeous face and acknowledged genuinely, "Truly stunning!"

At least at first glance, she was taken aback.

Tessa Hughes heard this and couldn’t help but slap her thigh, "If I had known, I would have gone up and knocked on the car window earlier, missing the chance to see such a handsome guy!"

Regret was regret, but she quickly laughed heartily, "Actually, leaving that loser Jordan Hawthorne isn’t all that bad. Look, without him, the men around you are each more outstanding than the last!

Moreover, you’re reclaiming your former glory, that man, not cherishing you is truly foolish.

In the future, he’ll regret it!"

Sabrina didn’t really care whether he regretted it or not.

She had completely given up on Jordan Hawthorne.

Once the divorce was done, the two probably wouldn’t have much interaction!

The two chatted while walking home.

Once inside, Zara woke up.

Sabrina let her down to play with Flash, while she took off her coat, ready to organize new drug research materials.

Unexpectedly, during the process, something fell from the pocket.

She took a closer look and found two candies lying on the ground.

These... did Mr. Fitzgerald give them?

She didn’t even notice when he put them there.

Sabrina smiled gently, bent down to pick them up, and casually put them into her most frequently carried bag, just in case!

The next day, while having breakfast, Sabrina thought about whether to ask Jasper Fitzgerald if he was available.

Now Zara’s condition was just right; if they could continue treatment, she should be able to recover more.

But before she had the chance, Nash Spencer called first to inform her, "My boss has an urgent task and has headed north temporarily. Please extend Miss Eleanor’s treatment with care. Next time he’s back in Veridia, he’ll invite you for a meal."

Sabrina agreed wholeheartedly, "Sure, I definitely will, let Mr. Fitzgerald rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, she still felt a bit regretful.

Nonetheless, Mr. Fitzgerald is a man who keeps his promises.

Since he’s scheduled for next time, he won’t go back on his word, just patiently waiting!

In the following days, the research lab’s development was also put on the agenda, and Sabrina started getting busy.

Previously, the project discussions with The Yates Family also had new progress.

An official large-scale medical project was awarded to The Sheffield Group.

The authorities placed significant importance on the project, directly inviting Josee Sheffield and Sabrina to attend the contract signing ceremony.

Sabrina rarely attended such public occasions before.

Josee Sheffield feared that she might refuse and persuaded, "You’re the main researcher for this project, you have to show your face. Not only this but for our future pharmaceutical launches, you’ll certainly have to appear, so you can’t refuse."

Sabrina found it amusing, "I wasn’t planning on refusing anyway!"

In the past, she worked herself to death at the Hawthorne Group, but could only remain transparent.

Jordan Hawthorne never allowed anyone to know of her existence.

Brooke Sinclairs returned with a high-profile strategic collaboration front in the media.

Back then, she was blinded by love; now, free from Jordan, she feared nothing.

She even wanted to show the Hawthornes that she was indeed capable!

On the day of the signing ceremony, Sabrina dressed very formally.

A simple and elegant suit with black high heels, her shapely waist accentuated, with a pair of rimless starry glasses gracing her nose, styled with a beautiful hairstyle.

Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, making her look competent, intellectual, and elegant.

Josee Sheffield stood by her side, dressed in a tailored suit, exuding unrestrained charisma, dignified and flamboyant.

He stood beside Sabrina, like a guardian, accompanying her, greeting and shaking hands with officials.

Flashes kept going off at the scene.

The reporters clearly knew how to ride the wave of interest, almost constantly pointing lenses at the two.

Once the video was put online, the comment section exploded.

"Three minutes, I need all the information about these two!!"

"Is this face real? I’m drooling over the screen already! This surpasses the hottest stars by at least a hundred and eighty streets!"

"The lady beside him is gorgeous; those glasses give off an academic vibe, she looks like a big shot!"

"I’ve decided; this is my wife, I’m taking her away!"

"You’re dreaming, that handsome man is our Sheffield Group’s CEO, the beauty beside him is the CEO’s partner!"

"Is it really the Sheffield CEO? The rumors say he’s tough to deal with, yet now he looks like a protector, standing beside a beauty."

"My heart breaks; does my new husband have a girlfriend? Are they a couple???"

"I love this power couple, handsome and beautiful, both strong, what a perfect match!"

"I also think they’re a great match..."

A bunch of netizens began shipping the pair madly.

But some insiders stepped forward to say: "These two aren’t a couple, don’t say that. The beautiful lady beside him is already taken; she’s Mrs. Hawthorne, though not many know!"

"Huh? Is it the Hawthorne I know? Then why is Mrs. Hawthorne a partner of the Sheffield CEO?"

"If I remember correctly, some time ago, President Hawthorne formed a strategic partnership with Sinclairs Corporation, he also brought a lady companion, they said that’s Mrs. Hawthorne, right?"

"Not really, it’s just a business partner. But at that time, the Hawthorne Group didn’t clarify."

"Is President Hawthorne hiding Mrs. Hawthorne deliberately, keeping her from being seen? With that face, I’d be reluctant too!"

"Hah, reluctant? Actually, some people despise their beautiful wife at home and sneakily see mistresses outside..."

Once these words came out, the comments section suddenly filled with gossip, many probing for the situation.

The person who revealed this clearly knew some inside story and immediately sketched some details of the recent banquet.

After listening, the comment section erupted in curses, "What kind of scumbag is this, bringing the mistress’s son to share his daughter’s cake, insane?"

"That beautiful lady is too pitiful!"

"Divorce, lady, let the scumbag and the skank rot, be with President Sheffield..."

Amidst the swirling news, on the side of Hawthorne Group.

Jordan Hawthorne also saw the footage in the video and the chaotic scene in the comments section.

His face darkened, a thick tension gathering between his brows.

Sabrina!!!

Is this the revenge you’ve painstakingly plotted?

Parading around deliberately with Josee Sheffield, what are you trying to play at?

Do you want me to bow my head and apologize to you?

Ha, a truly good scheme!!!

Downstairs, in Brooke’s office.

She saw the news as well.

Seeing the overwhelming criticism, she felt a wave of panic.

She never dreamed Sabrina would suddenly get such exposure.

Before, she was hidden in a corner, unseen.

Now, with Josee Sheffield by her side, she shines brightly.

She couldn’t help but worry again that Jordan might be swayed.

But then she thought again, perhaps this isn’t such a bad thing.

Now netizens are pairing her with Josee Sheffield, the more they believe it, the more certain the divorce becomes!

Thinking of this, she suddenly calmed down.

Just then, the internal phone suddenly rang.

This landline connects to the President’s office.

Brooke hurriedly picked up, gently calling, "Jordan..."

But Jordan’s cold tone came through, "Get results from the pharmaceutical research as soon as possible, make sure it’s ahead of the Sheffield Group!"

These words were not a notification; they were a command.

Even through the telephone line, she could feel Jordan’s irritation.

Could he be... truly affected by the news???

Brooke couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, saying, "The research has started, but for success, it requires various adjustments and tests, currently we’re still failing, so it can’t be rushed... But I’ll do my best to make it happen."

Jordan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, urging, "Then let them increase their pace and efficiency."

After saying this, without waiting for her response, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal, Brooke couldn’t help but feel angry.

Jordan has been somewhat indifferent to her these days, seemingly because of Sabrina.

A crisis arose in her heart again.

No... she will not allow him to waver at all!

Later, after work, Brooke immediately went to find Jordan.

The man’s expression remained cloudy.

She knew best how to ease his temper, immediately approaching, gently pinching his shoulder, saying, "Jordan, let’s have dinner together tonight, I’ll cook myself. How about I make your favorite? Sonny has been talking about wanting to have dinner with Dad Hawthorne too."

After several hours of settling down, Jordan’s anger had dissipated, his mood restored to stability.

With gentle warmth around him, his mind wavered, naturally, he didn’t refuse.

"Hmm, tonight not at your place, let’s go to my house."

Upon hearing this, Brooke was very pleased.

She had long wanted to have that place. Hearing that Sabrina had moved out, it was perfect to go and familiarize herself.

Thus, the couple quickly went to pick Sonny up from school and returned together to Hawthorne Manor.

After entering, Brooke immediately went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Sonny directly took over Zara’s playroom.

Jordan went to the study to handle business.

Near year-end, all departments were reporting their performance scores.

Most departments showed growth, which originally satisfied him. But when his gaze fell on the research department, he discovered the performance in medical devices had plummeted in just one or two months, causing his brow to furrow deeply.

Previously, when Sabrina was there, the performance was steadily growing, never declining.

How did this happen when Brooke took over?

Jordan frowned, reading for a long time, and his discontent grew heavier.

Later, feeling a bit irritable, he tossed the document aside.

He tugged at his tie, stood up intending to go to his room for a shower.

But as soon as he stood up, his legs went numb, and he couldn’t steady himself, falling heavily to the floor.

Jordan’s expression changed slightly.

His legs were acting up again...

Almost reflexively, he shouted, "Sabrina!"

Yet, all that responded to him was silence.

The figure that used to appear at his call didn’t appear at all.

Jordan then remembered she had moved out.

He frowned, trying to stand up.

But the intense, stinging pain in his legs kept increasing, so he could only call for Sonny in the adjacent playroom.

However, Sonny didn’t respond either.

Finally, a servant was alarmed and hurriedly ran over to assist.

Brooke hurried over upon hearing the news, full of concern, "Jordan, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Jordan couldn’t conceal his embarrassment and anger, coldly replied, "No need."

Then instructed the servant, "Go brew the medicine."

The servant dared not delay, quickly went to do it.

Later, when the medicine was delivered, Jordan drank it, successfully relieving the pain.

As he set down the bowl, his discontent surfaced.

Previously with Sabrina, a few needles would have relieved it.

That woman, how dare she talk about divorce with him???
