106 Lose Face to Have an Ex Like You
Yunice was clearly joking, but Gill’s nose still stung, and her tears threatened to spill before she could stop them

Turning away to wipe her eyes, she cursed under her breath, “Owen really is scum. In all these three years, if he had even bothered to visit you once, you wouldn’t have suffered this much. What happened to him today? He deserved every bit of it!”
As if remembering something. Gill added. “By the way, when Owen was hospitalized, I saw the director of the Saunders Hospital come looking for him. His face looked terrible. I don’t know if something else has gone wrong
Yunice replied flatly. “Quinton canceled all cooperation with the Saunders Hospital. They’re bound to face public backlash for deceiving consumers. Do you think Owen wouldn’t be anxious? Besides, business at the hospital has already been declining for years. Add to that the repeated medical scandals… “The public’s trust in the Saunders Hospital is practically at rock bottom.
Gill let out a sigh. “Back when Mr. Will was alive, the Saunders Hospital had great doctors and reasonable prices. Who would’ve thought that in just a few short years, they’d be ousted by the Silverburgh hospital?”
yunice’s voice was calm . “And that’s not all, I heard they’re planning to build a new hospital in the northern part of the city. with brand new facilities and state–of–the–art equipment. When that happens, the Saunders Hospital won’t even have a place to stand.”
Gill finally understood. “No wonder Owens is losing his mind, trying to force Elsie into marrying rich as soon as possible
But then, looking at Yunice’s calm and collected expression, she could not help but feel surprised.
The Saunders Hospital had been Mr. Will’s life’s work. Was Yunice really willing to watch it crumble like this?
Yunice smiled faintly. “You do what you can with what you have. As long as I can protect myself, that’s enough.”
Gill was startled but slowly realized the truth in those words. You could not swallow a fat piece of meat in one bite. She had been too impatient. She had always thought Yunice was too young , too inexperienced, She was even worried that she would not be able to outplay Owen or Elsie, But seeing how clear–headed Yunice was now, she finally felt at ease.
Later that afternoon, Joe came by again to pick up the improved version of Alphasirox pills that Yunice had refined. He said the higher–ups had approved the clinical trial for this new batch of medicine,
When Gill returned after wandering outside, Joe had already left.
Cill sneaked over like she was about to share some juicy gossip. “Ms. Saunders, guess who I just saw?”
Yunice rested her chin on one hand, twirling her pen idly.
Gill whispered mysteriously, “I saw Elsie and Paul, clinging to each other like glue, practically eating each other alive. In broad daylight, no less! Shameless.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly clapped her hand over it, sneaking a glance at Yunice.
But Yunice just calmly filled in an answer on her paper and drawled, “It’s not like this is news to me. Nothing worth caring
about.”
After all, even if she and Paul had once been lovers, if she still could not move on now, then she would only be humiliating herself.
But even if Yunice was not bothered. Gill was still fuming. “Paul’s still sitting in a wheelchair! And Elsie… other than being good at seducing men, what else can she even…”
Halfway through her rant, Gill’s eyes widened, her thoughts instantly becoming not so pure
Yurce lifted her gaze and met her knowing look. Both of them immediately understood.

Yunce kept her head down and contest answering her test paper.
That night, just as Vince was getting ready to sleep the phone Elsie had given her suddenly buzzed. She glanced at the Noreet. It was Paul’s ser

Yannice read through them and could not help but laugh in disbelief.
Paul had always been boy since childhood. He loved giving orders and loved lecturing people.
As hus fiancée back then, she had been the most convenient target for his demands.
And now? He still thought he could teach her how to behave.
Aner thinking for a moment. Yunice replied with a single message: “Von and Elsie were caught on camera in the hallway?
Paul’s reply came back almost instandy: “You were following me??
Yunice repliest coldly, “Someone sent me the video. Sand your kissing scene was so intense it left a trail of spit. It’s become the latest joke for everyone to laugh at Having an ex like you really makes me lose face in front of my friends.”
After sending that, Yunice blocked him without hesitation.
In the other end. Pauls expression froze. He made a mental note. Next time. I really needed to control myself around Elsie,
Yunice did not just blos k. hum. Worried about his further disturbances, She directly shut off her phone.
Exhausted from the day, she soon drifted into sleep.
