Chapter 71
Nadine also knew that continuing to argue like this wouldn’t lead to a resolution.
Jean and Lynn definitely wouldn’t admit to anything and would just keep denying it. She didn’t have any concrete evidence, so whatever she said would be pointless.
Rather than wasting her breath here, it would be better to get her hands on the evidence first.
With Jean’s capability, destroying any video evidence would be easy. She needed to secure the video first.
But just as Nadine was about to leave, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside. Brad’s breathtaking face came into view.
He was wearing a black suit and a white shirt. He held a tan–colored coat over his arm and stood there with a straight posture. His amber eyes sparkled like stars. His affectionate–looking eyes looked at Jean with a hint of curiosity.
Before Nadine could speak, Jean threw herself into Brad’s arms. Hugging his waist tightly, she cried softly, “Brad, someone locked Ms. Scott in the washroom just now. When she came out, she barged into my room and accused me of instructing Lynn to do it.
“But I didn’t do any of that. Ask Lynn if you don’t believe me! She can’t just wrongfully accuse me of this.”
Jean’s face looked pale and sickly. Nestled in Brad’s arms, she cried pitifully as if she had suffered great injustice.
Nadine stood aside and watched this scene quietly, feeling a chill creeping up from her feet. This was the first time she saw Brad holding another woman.
The moment Jean threw herself into his arms, Nadine even saw happiness and anticipation in his eyes-
something she had never seen when he was with her.
Nadine effortlessly outshone everyone else. She was unique and incomparable to anyone. She didn’t
need to use any words or actions to easily influence Brad’s emotions. Bang..
Nadine could clearly hear the sound of her already–broken heart shattering once more. It was now completely broken, leaving no traces behind.
She initially still wanted to explain herself, but she swallowed back her words because she knew that
whatever she said wouldn’t matter.
Even if the facts were laid out in front of him, Brad would only believe Jean. The man who had once
provided her with a haven was now like a stranger to her.
Brad looked at her. His usually affectionate eyes were now filled with frost, chilling to the bone.
Under the cold white light, he scrutinized her. His gaze felt like countless long whips lashing painfully on her skin with each Inch it moved over her body.
After meeting his icy gaze, Nadine completely lost the desire to prove herself. She tightly shut her mouth, turning herself into a clam.
Brad quody shifted me gaze from Nadine to Lynn who was standing aside. “What the hell is going on?”
Lynn dared not meet his sharp eyes. With her head lowered, she spoke softly. “Just as Ms. Sawyer said,
Ma Scom was locked in the washroom by someone. I don’t know who did it, but she insists that it was me.
Not only did she slander me, the even accused Ms. Sawyer of instructing me to do it. She dragged me here to confront Ms. Sawyer face to face.”
Brad’s gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing into Nadine’s heart and seeing through her.
Lynn didn’t dare to lock him in the eyes, so she continued to lower her head and stare at her toes. She
prayed that he would believe her.
Sail firmly hugging Brad’s waist, Jean’s tears rolled down her cheeks and fell perfectly onto the back of
“Brad, that’s the truth. Ms. Scott not only slandered Lynn but also tried to slander me. Aren’t you going to do something about it?”
