Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Nathan McCarthy frowned and looked at Jessica displeasedly, saying, “What are you doing here? Did you come here just because you knew I was here?”

“Relax, I didn’t misunderstand you, and I’m not here for you,” Jessica said coldly.

Carly didn’t believe that Jessica would not be upset when she saw her husband with another woman. She thought Jessica was just pretending.

“If you aren’t here for Nathan, then maybe you’re here to see someone in the lab? I can help you get inside. Or people like you can’t enter the lab without assistance,” Carly offered, her tone condescending.

Carly was an intern at the lab, a position she had worked hard to obtain.

Since she had started working at the lab, Nathan had treated her differently.

After all, the lab only recruited one or two interns every three years, and if Carly completed her internship with high marks, she could stay.

In Carly’s eyes, Jessica, despite being Nathan’s wife, came from a humble background and only worked as a regular office worker at a small company.

How could someone like her deserve to be Nathan’s wife? She was nothing compared to Carly.

Carly looked at Jessica with a sense of superiority, expecting Jessica to show envy and jealousy.

However, Jessica remained indifferent, unmoved by the situation.

Nathan also frowned at Jessica and said coldly, “Jessica, stop causing trouble. Why can’t you be more like Carly? She’s two years younger than you, yet she’s already in the lab working on a major project. And look at you, dressed like this every day, working as a lowly clerk. You don’t feel embarrassed, but I do.”

Nathan glanced disdainfully at Jessica’s white T–shirt and jeans.

He couldn’t understand why his mother had insisted he marry Jessica, who wasn’t worthy of being his wife.

His wife should be someone like Carly, excellent, beautiful, gentle, and kind.

Hearing Nathan praise her while belittling Jessica made Carly even more smug.

She said shyly, “Nathan, I’m not as amazing as you say. I’ve just worked here and don’t know much yet.”

“But in my eyes, you’re amazing,” Nathan said

Jessica watched their affectionate display with cold eyes, showing no emotion.

This left Carly feeling frustrated. She had gone out of her way to upset Jessica, yet Jessica wasn’t reacting at all.

In fact, Jessica didn’t care about the two of them.

She glanced apologetically at Audrey, sorry that Audrey had to witness such a scene..

Just then, the lab director hurried over.

Carly’s eyes lit up when she saw the middle–aged man. She grabbed Nathan’s hand excitedly and said, “Nathan, that’s our lab director. Let’s go greet him. Your company is looking for a lab to partner with for a project; right?”

Nathan’s eyes brightened, and he nodded. “Alright.”

Nathan thought, ‘Jessica is worthless compared to Carly.

The two of them walked towards the director

“Mr. Cooley, I’m Carly, an intern at the lab, and this is my friend Nathan,” Carly introduced eagerly.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Cooley. I’m Nathan McCarthy from McCarthy Pharmacy,” Nathan said, extending his hand politely.

Samson Cooley nodded at the two standing before him and said, “How do you do?”

Nathan awkwardly withdrew his hand when Samson didn’t shake it.

Carly was thrilled that Samson greeted them. She quickly said, “Mr. Cooley, my friend has a project…

Samson interrupted, “Sorry, I need to pick someone up. Excuse me.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He hurried past them without waiting for a response.

Carly, worried Nathan might be upset, quickly said, “Nathan, Mr. Cooley must have something urgent. I’ll introduce you another time.”

Nathan, though disappointed, nodded in understanding.

Just as they were about to leave, they saw Samson stop in front of Jessica.

“Ms. Miller, sorry for being late. I’ll take you inside now,” Samson said respectfully to Jessica.

Jessica nodded slightly and said, “Thank you.

She didn’t even glance at Nathan and Carly as she and Audrey followed Samson into the lab.

It wasn’t until they disappeared that Carly reacted.

“How do they know Mr. Cooley, and why did he let them in?” Carly said.

This lab strictly prohibited outsiders from entering. Even as an intern, Carly was only allowed to stay outside and couldn’t access the core areas.

Nathan frowned, surprised that Jessica knew Samson.

Inside the lab, Samson personally took Jessica and Audrey to a private room equipped with all the necessary instruments and materials.

After Samson left, Audrey turned to Jessica and asked, “Was that your husband?”

“It’s a sham marriage. We’ll divorce sooner or later,” Jessica said flatly.

Audrey nodded and said coldly, “He’s indeed unworthy o

you. Too foolish.”

Audrey then immersed herself in researching the medication for Brian, while Jessica went to find Samson for some matters.

When Audrey went out of the lab, Jessica was already waiting outside. “How did it go? Were you successful?”

Audrey looked pale and shook her head, saying, “No, it’s still missing an ingredient.”

“What is it? I can help you find it,” Jessica said.

Audrey shook her head and said, “You won’t be able to find it.”

Seeing that Audrey didn’t want to elaborate, Jessica didn’t press further.

Audrey’s resources were vast, and finding something shouldn’t be difficult for her.

“If you need anything, just let me know,” Jessica said.

“Alright,” Audrey said.

Audrey spent the entire day in the lab, with F messages started pouring in.
