That made Ashlyn so disgusted that goosebumps appeared on her whole body.
That asshole! How dare he try and take advantage of me?
Bang! The loud ring was quickly followed by the manâs howl, âAh!â
Ashlyn tossed Jerry over her shoulder â she did so beautifully. That made Jerry fall onto the floor and scream in pain.
Penelope was in shock, and she quickly rushed over to help Jerry up. âAshlyn, what the hell are you doing? Have you gone insane? How could you hurt him like that?â
Ashlyn saw the shadow under the manâs eyes and caught the way he curved his back. She couldnât help but grin as she said, âDr. Shermanâs kidneys seem weak. Are you sure he can satisfy you, Penelope?â
Jerry was a player; he was good at seducing and lying to women. As such, he had slept with dozens of women. His family had money too, so he had never held back and had messed around endlessly.
He was young, but he âplayedâ so much that he had already destroyed his body.
He took a lot of supplements regularly, but Ashlyn still managed to notice the problems and shared her findings aloud.
Jerryâs back was hurting as he thought, All I did was caress your hand. Whatâs so bad about that? You should be honored that I took advantage of you!
Jerry was ashamed and angry at Ashlynâs truthful diss. He glared at her before saying, âI was just being polite and trying to get to know you, Dr. Berry, but you tossed me to the floor like that! You even insulted me!â
Penelope was both angry and embarrassed as well. She knew that Jerry only looked good, but he couldnât actually last for more than a few minutes if he hadnât taken any pills beforehand. Unfortunately, Penelope was in love with his family background, so she endured it.
When Penelope heard what Ashlyn said, her face grew dark, and her eyes glowed with hatred towards Ashlyn. âHow could you say something like that? Have you no shame?â
Ashlyn narrowed her eyes at them. âIâm just telling the truth. Besides, Iâm only saying this for the sake of your sexual future, so why are you so mad?â Ashlyn asked ever so innocently.
âMy dad is the second-in-command of this hospital! I-Iâm going to get you fired, woman!â shouted Jerry.
He was interested in Ashlyn a moment ago and wanted to court her. She wonât be nice to me? Fine, donât blame me for being cruel then.
Jerry rubbed his injured back and shouted, âSecurity, security! Toss this woman out of here this instant!
Donât let her set foot in here ever again!â
âWhat is going on? Why are you guys yelling in the corridor like that? Youâre making us look bad!â
The director of the hospital and the hospitalâs second-in-command walked over soon after.
âDad, director. That woman insulted Penelope and I, and she even injured me. How can our hospital hire someone so dishonorable and disrespectful? She brings shame to the entire industry,â shouted Jerry as he pointed his finger at Ashlyn.
The director frowned and turned to Ashlyn before shifting his gaze to Jerry and Penelope.
Ashlyn looked calm â a huge contrast compared to how agitated Jerry and Penelope were.
Penelope had her eyes on Ashlyn, and the former was secretly gleeful because she thought Ashlyn would be kicked out of the hospital soon after. Jerry does love me after all.
The director of the hospital felt a headache coming when he saw Jerry. The director and the second-in-
command were good friends. It was rumored that they were bunkmates when they were in medical school.
When Jerry graduated, he was given a full-time job at the hospital and didnât even need to go through an internship.
The director was usually towards the second-in-command, but Jerry was simply too big of a problem.
A powerful investor was taking over the hospital, and soon, even the director of the hospital would have to listen to what the investor said.
Hence, the director was a little annoyed as he said, âDr. Sherman, do you even know who Dr. Berry is?â
The second-in-command had always thought that the director was too kind towards Ashlyn and gave her too many special treatments. That prompted the second-in-command to believe in his sonâs words immediately.
âJerry has always been a good kid, Director. Dr. Berry mustâve insulted him and threw the first punch!â
âItâs true! We must chase her out of the hospital,â insisted Jerry when he heard his father siding with him.
The director looked a little troubled when he turned to Ashlyn. It was plain to see that Ashlyn was a skilled surgeon, but the director was close to the second-in-command⦠I must find a way to solve this issue peacefully.
