Juan had a higher rank than that of the previous mayor, Joshua. Juan held a high standing in several major cities and was able to garner a wide range of connections. No one knew the true force behind him.
"Mandy, youâve always been too soft-hearted. A person like Eve should be punished severely. She only dares to bully you like this because youâre too kind," Nacy scolded with a ferocious look in her eyes.
With a smile on her red lips, Mandy slowly clenched her fists. She thought of her poor child, and she suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt. Nacy had a point. Eve provoked her over and over again because she was too soft-hearted.
If she didnât teach her a harsh lesson, she would only do it again.
Lillian came over with an impressive plate of grilled kebabs in her hands and an enthusiastic smile on her face. Ever since Adrian was hospitalized, the house was empty most times. It had been dull for Lillian to stay home alone most of the time.
Nathan was very considerate towards Lillian. He knew that she was getting older, so he avoided asking her to go to the hospital to tend to Adrian. He let her live quietly in the villa and sent food and other supplies to her personally.
"Is there any soda, Lillian? I would like some Coke with ice." Nacy looked up at Lillian with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I think we have some for you. How about the others? What would you like to drink? Iâll go get it for you."
Mandy didnât have much of an appetite at first. She had eaten a lot at the dinner party, but her mouth suddenly watered as Lillian placed the kebabs in front of them. She thought âCoke with barbecue is the perfect treat this summer.â
"Bring me a bottle of Coke with ice as well, please," Mandy said with a smile.
Nathan slightly frowned at Mandyâs request. It was late autumn, but Mandy still wanted to have a cold drink. He pulled a long face and said, "Lillian, donât put any ice in hers. Itâs late autu

At the entrance of the operating room, a mother and her daughter were arguing.
Audrey glared at them and said in a displeased voice, "What are you doing? Canât you see the âkeep quietâ sign here?"
Bonnie had just been scolded by her mother. She felt so frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger. "What does it look like Iâm doing? Iâm discussing some matters with my mother. Itâs none of your business," she said spitefully.
Bonnieâs mother remained silent but stared sharply at Audrey. Her eyes looked strange. She looked her up and down and thought, âThis woman looks young. Is she the surgeon of this hospital? I can't believe it.'
"Who are you? Are you a doctor or a nurse?" Her voice was haughty, and there was a hint of malice in it.
Audrey scoffed at her. She raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Have you ever seen a nurse in a white gown?"
She suddenly wondered why she had such bad luck today. Why did fate have her meet these ignorant people?
Because of Audreyâs young and beautiful appearance, she had always been underestimated. Many assumed that she was only an intern, not a doctor. Normally, when this kind of thing happened, she was too lazy to explain. She didnât have the energy for things like this.
