She Upended Her Impression

As the two of them grew more and more emotional, the content of their argument drifted into Claire Bennett's ears...

"The one thing I never should've done was believe your lie about saving money to buy a house! I work back-to-back night shifts and bust my ass for a whole month just to make five thousand dollars, and you spent twenty thousand dollars on a diamond ring for that woman!"

"Now that you've made money helping people lie, you want to kick me to the curb? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. Even if I die, I'm taking you with me! Worst comes to worst, I'll report you!"

The male doctor's face instantly went pale, and he stepped forward to cover the nurse's mouth.

"Shut up!" he barked in a low voice. "Are you only going to be satisfied if you drag me down and get everyone killed with me?"

Seeing how nervous the male doctor was, the nurse let out a cold laugh.

She sneered, "So you know what you're doing is something you can't let see the light of day? If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Now you're trying to divorce me for that woman. I won't agree!"

"There's something wrong with your body. You can't have children. My mom wants us to get divorced."

...

Listening to their conversation and seeing the nurse on the verge of a breakdown, Claire Bennett lowered her eyes slightly and vaguely pieced something together.

Maybe she could start from here.

Later she would need to verify whether it was really as she suspected.

Claire Bennett didn't stay any longer and quietly withdrew.

After the nurse finished arguing with the male doctor, she sat quietly for a long time before wiping away her tears and returning to her post to work.

Unexpectedly, the moment she got back, the head nurse caught her red-handed.

"Paige Nolan! Where did you run off to just now? This time it'll go on your record as a major demerit. If you disappear for no reason again next time, it won't be that simple!"

Paige Nolan's eyes were still red, and she kept her head lowered without saying a word.

After the head nurse left, Paige Nolan took her things and hid in the supply closet. Unexpectedly, just after she went in, the door opened again, and a woman in a hospital gown squeezed inside.

Paige Nolan was startled and didn't react for a moment.

Only after a while did she seem to recognize Claire Bennett. "You... you're Claire Bennett?"

Recently, the matter involving Claire Bennett and Naomi Pierce had caused a huge stir. Paige Nolan knew the inside story, so naturally Claire Bennett was no stranger to her.

Claire Bennett couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush. She got straight to the point. "I heard everything you said to that man just now. You two are husband and wife?"

The moment Paige Nolan heard that, she flared up in anger. Her expression quickly darkened, feeling that Claire Bennett had invaded her privacy.

"You were eavesdropping on me!" she glared at Claire Bennett.

"Don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm. I just want to get to the bottom of something, that's all. You don't look so good. Are you okay?" Claire Bennett put on a concerned look, with not the slightest trace of mockery, lowering Paige Nolan's guard.

Paige Nolan looked at Claire Bennett warily. "What thing?"

Claire Bennett's eyes darkened as she said slowly, "That man just now was your husband. He took benefits from Naomi Pierce and lied for her about the miscarriage. I'm not wrong, am I?"

That had been Claire Bennett's guess just now. The only person who could know the inside details of this matter was the pillow companion of one of the parties involved.

Paige Nolan pressed her lips tightly together and said nothing.

That was indeed exactly the case. Her husband, Dr. Nolan Pierce, was the chief OB-GYN physician at this hospital. Naomi Pierce had given him a large sum of money to fabricate proof confirming that she had been pregnant and had miscarried. Who would've thought that Dr. Nolan Pierce was also keeping a mistress on the side?

After taking the money, he planned to run off and live happily ever after with the mistress. He even wanted to divorce her and had taken the wages she'd saved for a long time to buy a house.

At that thought, Paige Nolan's tears fell again.

Seeing Paige Nolan heartbroken, Claire Bennett knew she had guessed right.

She continued, "He used his position to accept bribes from someone else. If I report him, he could be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years..."

When Paige Nolan heard that, a reckless resolve overflowed in her eyes.

She lifted her gaze to Claire Bennett and asked, "You mean if he's reported, he'll go to prison, right?"

Claire Bennett had originally only intended to threaten and entice her a little.

She hadn't expected Paige Nolan's reaction to be so surprising.

Before Claire Bennett could speak, Paige Nolan gritted her teeth and said viciously, "I want him in prison! Then I want to see whether that woman will still be willing to wait for him once Nolan Pierce has lost everything!"

Paige Nolan's face was twisted with rage, and she looked terrifying.

Claire Bennett thought of the conversation she'd just heard between her and that doctor.

Then looking at Paige Nolan, she sighed inwardly: another woman who had been betrayed and wanted revenge at all costs.

"He violated professional ethics, so he really should pay the price." After a pause, Claire Bennett asked curiously, "I heard just now that your husband has another woman?"

At those words, the tightly wound emotions in Paige Nolan instantly collapsed.

She sniffled and slowly said, "That mistress is an intern nurse at the hospital. I noticed there was something ambiguous going on between them back then. We already had one huge fight over it at the time. Later, she left the hospital, and I thought she'd really gone. I never expected..."

Claire Bennett's eyes shifted slightly. "Your husband set her up in a love nest and kept her as his hidden mistress?"
