Rachel was completely baffled. How could these strangers talk about her disdainfully? She didn't even know them.
'Did I happen to mess with these women in the past?" she asked herself.
When they were about to leave, she abruptly stopped them. "Wait! What do you mean by what you said?"
"Why don't you read it yourself, Dr. Seductress?" One of the women showed her phone to Rachel.
As Rachel read the conversation on WeChat, she couldn't help frowning.
She had never expected that people would speak ill of her like this.
And everything they said about her was wrong.
They were all convinced that she was a bad person, so they should stay away from her. Some even promised that they would tell their friends not to go to the hospital where she worked.
In their eyes, she was a home wrecker. If they wouldn't want their families to be broken, they must not cross paths with her. How ridiculous! These people didn't even know her, yet they were talking bad about her.
Anger flared up in Rachel's heart instantly. She stepped to the side and said, "Go ahead, request a different doctor so I can have a rest now." She already knew who wanted to ruin her reputation.
Celine held up the cup and took a sip of tea elegantly. She straightened the hemline of her dress and sat like a proud queen.
After causing trouble in the hospital that day, she attended a party in the evening. There, she intentionally brought up the topic about Gigi Yang
and added fuel to the fire.
As expected, almost everyone in the party believed in her. They all thought that Rachel was an incompetent doctor with a personality disorder.
She even spread the gossip that Rachel was a woman who loved to destroy other people's marriages.
This was just the beginning of her plans. She would do everything to become Jack's wife in the future.
Meanwhile, Jack was in his office. While listening to Austin's report, he was unconsciously tapping his desk with his fingers.
"Mr. Fu, I found out that this number was bought only yesterday through the Internet. I tried to check the online account used, but there was no information available." Austin was disappointed at himself because he failed to complete the task assigned by Jack to him.
But Jack was not surprised at all. That person sent him the video anonymously, so it was already expected that the person would hide any information that would connect to him.
He waved his hand and said, "That's fine. You can go now. Just don't tell others about this, okay?"
"Mr. Fu, what's with this phone number?" Austin had been itching to ask him about it since yesterday.
"Do you want a salary reduction?"
Jack knew what Austin's weakness was.
Afraid of losing a portion of his salary, Austin shut his mouth and walked out of the office. No matter how curious he was, he would never compromise his salary.
As soon as he closed the door, Jack's mouth curved into a smile.
Since he was alone now, his mind went back to the anonymous sender. If that person was able to take a video of Rachel in her office, it meant that the person was spying her.
A worried frown appeared on his face. What if that person was planning to harm Rachel secretly?
In the nurse station, a nurse packed up her things. She was about to leave when she heard another nurse heaved a deep sigh. She turned to her and said, "I told you earlier to accompany Rachel in the outpatient department, but you refused. Now you are regretting it.
Don't you know how much free time I had there? I just sat on the chair and took a nap the whole time."
Cara, who happened to be passing by, overheard what the nurse said. She stopped and looked around to make sure that no one was nearby before she asked, "Is there really no patient this afternoon?"
The nurse nodded. "It's true. Strange, isn't it?"
"It seems that what my friend said is true."
Hearing what Cara said, the three nurses looked at each other confusedly. One of them asked, "What's true, Cara?"
"Shhh!"
Cara placed a finger before her pursed lips to hush the nurses. She was afraid that someone might overhear them.
Although she knew that it wasn't appropriate, she still couldn't resist the desire to gossip. She walked into the nurse station and motioned the three of them to surround her. Then she said in a low voice, "My friend just sent me a message this afternoon saying that everyone on the Internet is calling Rachel a home wrecker.
They are now convincing everyone in their circle not to go to our hospital because she is working here."
Because of excitement, she didn't notice that her voice got louder.
Rachel was coming out of her office, and unintentionally heard the last few words Cara said. Since she also read the WeChat messages earlier, she could already guess that she was the topic of their conversation.
When she reached the nurse station, no one noticed her, so she knocked on the counter twice.
The four turned their heads simultaneously, and their faces were wrapped with terror upon seeing Rachel.
She just smiled at them and said, "Destroying other people's families is a tough job. I don't think it's worth my efforts,
so I hope you stop spreading such rumors."
Cara and the three nurses froze in shock. They didn't even notice that Rachel had already left.
After a while, a nurse came back to her senses. She snapped her fingers upon realizing something. "Rachel's husband is Jack Fu.
Having such a good-looking and powerful husband, do you really believe that she will waste her time wreaking other people's families?
It must be fake news!"
"I think you're right," another nurse agreed.
When they heard what the nurse said, they all realized that she had a point.
Instead of wasting her energy in destroying someone else's relationship, she must have been focusing on taking care of Jack, so he wouldn't look for a mistress.
