CHAPTER 99: CHAPTER 99: THIS IS REVENGE AGAINST JORDAN HAWTHORNE

Sabrina hesitated and instinctively pulled back her hand.

In the private room, although she had used ice packs, she couldn’t completely hide the marks left by Jordan Hawthorne.

When she returned just now, she didn’t feel any pain and didn’t pay attention. However, she didn’t expect her best friend to be so sharp-eyed.

She was about to give her friend a look, but the two Hayes elders had already heard and immediately gave their attention.

"What marks?"

"Who hit you? Let mommy take a look..."

Unable to escape, Sabrina could only explain helplessly, "No one hit me; it’s just... pulled a few times."

While speaking, Galina Young had already pulled her sleeve up.

When they saw the shocking red fingerprints around her wrist, both elders were appalled.

"This... who did this?"

Sabrina hesitated about whether to answer, but little Zara spoke up with a baby voice, "Daddy... pulled mommy’s hand..."

"What?"

The elders frowned, their anger apparent, "What reason did he have to lay hands on you?"

Tessa Hughes was also a bit puzzled, "Didn’t you take Zara to see Mr. Fitzgerald? How did you run into him? Could it be that that scoundrel came downstairs to block you again?"

Sabrina really didn’t want to mention that person.

But if she didn’t clear up tonight’s matter, the three in front of her probably wouldn’t sleep well.

Thus, she could only let Nanny Warren take Zara to bathe while she briefly explained the process.

After listening, Tessa was furious, "Damn, this Jordan Hawthorne, where does he get off accusing you of cheating? Clearly, he’s the one having an affair and finding a mistress; how does he have the nerve to turn around and bite you?

When you were treating his leg, why didn’t you check his mind as well? The guy is clearly nuts!!!"

The elders were equally angry and pained.

They had raised their daughter all these years and hardly ever spoke harshly to her.

Now, in marriage, she’s not only met with emotional abuse, neglect, and bullying but also slander and violence from Jordan Hawthorne.

Charles Hayes’s lifelong gentle demeanor was shattered by his anger at that moment.

"This Jordan Hawthorne is truly beyond reason!"

He stood up abruptly, full of anger, ready to head out.

Sabrina was shocked and quickly held her father’s arm, "Dad, where are you going?"

"I’m going to settle accounts with Jordan Hawthorne!"

Charles was full of anger, wanting to break free from her grip, "Sabrina, don’t worry, although dad isn’t someone with power and influence, I can still protect you. He bullied you like that; dad will surely get justice for you."

Sabrina naturally couldn’t really let him go.

She understood her parents’ feelings but also knew Jordan Hawthorne’s ruthlessness.

Rushing over might only result in more humiliation.

Her parents have devoted their lives to education with high moral standing. How could she let them suffer such grievances?

"Dad, it’s not worth getting upset over him. Although Jordan Hawthorne laid hands on me today, if we think positively, these marks can be used as evidence for the divorce...

That’s our ultimate goal, right? There’s truly no need to further conflict with the other side!"

Saying this, she gave a look to her best friend for help.

Although Tessa was also angry and wished to beat Jordan Hawthorne, reason ultimately prevailed.

Indeed, they can’t let Uncle and Aunt suffer this injustice from The Hawthorne Family.

Thus, she quickly came over to help persuade, "Uncle, I think Sabrina’s words make sense. Currently, their divorce is already challenging. If we take the initiative to settle accounts, there’s no guarantee it won’t backfire.

By then, it might even complicate Sabrina’s divorce, so we absolutely mustn’t act impulsively now!"

Charles heard this, his anger still lingering, but he was ultimately persuaded.

Having lived for most of his life, he understood more clearly that arms can’t twist against thighs.

His daughter’s divorce was already full of difficulties, and he couldn’t add more burden to her.

Though understanding was one thing, the distress in his heart couldn’t fade away immediately.

That night, the two elders stayed awake until dawn.

On the following day, seeing the two elders looking weary at the dining table made Sabrina feel deeply uneasy, prompting her to send Zara and Flash to cheer them up after breakfast.

Under the guidance of Jasper Fitzgerald yesterday, Zara was in a great mood today, first pulling her grandparents to watch the underwater world cartoon and then taking them to draw various fish and shellfish.

Flash, with its inherent cleverness, held a pen in its mouth and drew on paper.

Although the drawings weren’t coherent, they did pique the elders’ interest.

Charles even held Flash’s paw, intending to truly teach it to draw.

Sabrina thought that at this rate, the family’s dog would sooner or later become a genius.

She recorded a small video clip and sent it to Nash Spencer, asking, "Will Flash always be a dog?"

When Nash received the message, he laughed and handed it over to Jasper Fitzgerald to see.

Jasper’s eyes flickered with a hint of amusement as he replied, "Not necessarily!"

Sabrina couldn’t tell for a moment whether it was Nash’s reply or Mr. Fitzgerald’s.

After all, the latter, being noble and aloof, didn’t seem like someone who would joke.

Nonetheless, her parents were no longer saddened by last night’s events, which meant the goal was achieved.

Just then, Josee Sheffield called, "The AI medical equipment system company has been established. Do you want to come over and have a look?"

Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat.

Since the last mention of this matter, it hadn’t been long, yet Josee’s efficiency was unexpectedly high!

She naturally wouldn’t refuse, rushing over at once.

Upon arrival, Josee was already waiting there!

The man still donned a black suit, but due to the shirt buttons not being properly fastened, he exuded a mix of rebellious, elegant charm.

He led Sabrina to tour the premises, introducing along the way, "According to your guidance, this company isn’t listed under The Sheffield Group, but through an overseas division, so no one will trace it to us...

The personnel have been recruited, including two computer experts from The Sheffield Group whom I discreetly arranged to join.

Additionally, several high-caliber computer talents from prestigious universities have been brought on board, ready to shine at any moment."

Sabrina was very surprised after hearing this, "Is it good to poach from The Sheffield Group?"

Josee replied honestly, "There’s nothing bad about it because I value this company’s prospects and your decisions...

The AI R&D inherently represents a realm that numerous cutting-edge companies aim to break through. If we can develop more advanced systems and apply them to medical equipment, we can surely dominate this market in the future!"

Sabrina, hearing this, didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Josee seemed to have always been like this.

Unconditionally trusting her abilities.

Whether in pharmaceutical R&D or AI medical systems, he supported her wholeheartedly.

Unlike Jordan Hawthorne, who only belittled her.

With a mix of myriad feelings, Sabrina quickly suppressed them, smiling at the man in front of her, "Not to let President Sheffield down for trusting me, I’ll start by giving you a surprise..."

She opened her laptop and typed on the keyboard.

Soon, strands of code quickly flashed across the screen.

"What is this?"

Josee couldn’t quite understand, so he curiously asked.

Sabrina answered, "This is the new system I had privately developed when I was still at Hawthorne Group.

The difficulty was high at the time, and the technology was somewhat lagging, so I couldn’t overcome it immediately.

Later, I spent several months and finally succeeded... Originally, I wanted to apply it to Hawthorne Group.

But because that person couldn’t wait for his ’white moonlight’ to return, I was kicked out of Hawthorne Group’s core, leaving my research results without a place to be applied...

Now, with our company’s start-up, I think its appearance will set a good beginning for the company!

This system is the most advanced and unique in the market. After extensive algorithms and validation, I have confirmed that it can be used in medical equipment!"

Josee was genuinely surprised by this.

Though he didn’t understand system development, he believed in Sabrina’s capability.

The term ’unique’ alone signifies the system’s greatness!

If everything is truly as Sabrina said, Jordan Hawthorne... might have lost more than he gained, mistaking fish eyes for pearls!
