The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 30

In the bedroom, Jenna suddenly felt guilty when faced with Clark's question. "O-Of course... I've seen it. It's a family heirloom."

Clark had met countless people. From Jenna's hesitation, he knew that she didn't know.

Matthew, a sly fox, even hid it from his daughter. Yet, he sent Jenna to study medicine. He must have prepared her to inherit Blake Medical Group.

So, Clark didn't expose her.

Jenna quickly changed the subject. "Clark, I'm not very interested in managing the family business. I studied modern medicine, so I want to learn to be independent. Can you help me with something?"

Clark looked up from the book. "What's the matter?"

"I want to work in a hospital."

"Which hospital?"

"The Hippocrates Hospital," Jenna assessed Clark carefully, afraid of revealing her true intentions.

Hippocrates Hospital? A meaningful glint appeared in Clark's eyes.

"Alright." His cold voice echoed, a hint of intrigue detected if a person listened attentively.

During lunch, Jenna kept serving dishes to Clark.

Clark only thanked her, then picked up his cup to drink water, not touching his fork.

Judy observed this and shook her head silently.

Having spent some time with the Reid family, she knew Clark's eating habits. He wouldn't eat food that others picked for him. It looked like Jenna's efforts were in vain.

Yet, Judy wondered if Clark would make an exception for Jenna since they were closed.
