The Husband Hidden Behind Her novel Chapter 10

Jade was unfazed when she heard the onlookers talk about calling the police. Instead, she yelled, "Who are you to come to her aid when you know nothing? Let m e tell you how wicked and lowly this woman is. She was a murderer three years ago. She pushed my daughter-in-law, who was four months pregnant at that time, and caused her to miscarry all because she wanted to seduce my son!"

Jade had a great talent for twisting the truth. After she had said that, the crowd immediately switched sides and glared at Yvonne in disgust. "I could never tell by looking at her. So young but so evil!"

Yvonne shuddered in anger. She had wanted to settle things quietly and leave, but she ended up calling the police because Jade had provoked her.

The police soon arrived, and Jade said furiously, "Do you know who my son is? He is Jackson Miller. My inlaw is Secretary Summers. You guys should know your place before you do anything"

The police had heard of Jackson Miller and Secretary Summers. They turned around and tried to persuade Yvonne, "Surely, this is just a small matter. Why don’t you accept Madam Miller's money as compensation and settle this in private?"

"I don't want her money or to settle this in private! Why should I do that?" Yvonne retaliated.

"You won't gain anything by bringing this to court. You suffered minor injuries, and it was the driver who drove the car. Anyhow, you will end up receiving monetary compensation from her. After all, she's President Miller's mother and Secretary Summers’ inlaw, right?"

The police officer's words made sense, but they stung Yvonne to hear them. She stubbornly refused to settle things in private.

The police officer could not do anything else, except to send Yvonne to the hospital for her injuries. Yvonne had injured both her hands and feet, so the doctor dressed her wounds in gauze for her. She was just getting her wounds bandaged when hurried footsteps were heard at the door. Then, Jackson and his assistant, James, pushed the door open and stood at the entrance.

Yvonne was stunned to see Jackson there. The doctor knew who Jackson was and hurriedly paid his respects, "President Miller!”

"Get out. I have something to say to her!"

The doctor immediately nodded and left them alone i n the room. Jackson stared down at Yvonne and asked in an icy voice, "Tell me. How much money do you want?"

Yvonne had not expected to hear those few words to b e the first thing he said when he arrived, and she shook in anger. "Mr. Miller, do you think everyone is a s shameless as you? Do you think everyone is as money-minded as you?"
