Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Do I Look Like an Idiot? (2)
"Great idea. We can even put it on Weibo and let everyone watch this fool."
Raina North was getting a bit impatient listening.
These people only go on and on about the same made-up nonsense, just like car wheels spinning, utterly frustrating to hear.
Raina took a breath, feeling she had to understand, after all, with Claire North’s intelligence, she could only play such small tricks.
Just, if she didn’t care, she couldn’t disgust Claire even if she wanted to, and the scandalous photos spread by Claire North couldn’t be taken back.
Thinking about the man who did these things for her, Raina’s expression involuntarily turned dazed; she never thought Elias Hawthorne would do this for her.
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded from behind: "Raina, what are you hiding from? You think you can find a place to hide, and I won’t find you?"
Raina couldn’t help but sigh, she swore she had really shown mercy earlier, if it were any of those competitors she had before, she’d have ruined them long ago.
Unfortunately, the other party couldn’t appreciate her kindness.
This was truly a particularly regrettable circumstance.
In the tea room, the few gossiping women also walked out; seeing Raina standing at the door, they immediately boiled with anger: "How can you be so annoying? Listening in on others’ conversations!"
Raina glanced coldly over: "Take a look at Rule Eleven of The Veridian Institute of Medicine."
Rule Eleven states that defaming colleagues should not be discussed privately; offenders will be recorded once and not allowed to participate in evaluations for two years.
The women forced themselves to stand firm: "We didn’t defame you; what we said was the truth. Anyway, listening in is wrong."
Raina didn’t bother to argue with them, saying: "If I were you, I’d leave now and pretend nothing happened."
They were ultimately scared, immediately not daring to say more; however, they didn’t leave but instead hid to watch the show unfold.
Chloe Jarvis was clearly looking for trouble.
Raina watched Chloe Jarvis rush over in three strides, lazily saying: "Anything, Apothecary Jarvis?"
"You actually have the guts to ask me that?" Chloe’s face turned dark and viciously said, "I don’t have anything; don’t you know?"
Raina replied quite sincerely: "I don’t know."
"Raina, stop pretending to be dumb here! When you poked my arm with a silver needle, you should’ve known I would never let it go! I know Director Woods protects you, but I’m no pushover!"
Raina sighed helplessly: "So, what do you want?"
Chloe thought Raina was scared: "I want to poke you back and slap you twice!"
Raina looked at Chloe, sincerely asking: "Do I look like a fool?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Chloe Jarvis, who do you think you are to say such things!"
Chloe was furious; seeing Raina’s indifferent look, she didn’t bother to argue anymore: "Fiona Yates, come here and drag Raina back for me!"
Fiona Yates had originally gotten into The Veridian Institute by flattering Chloe Jarvis, plus, with her unspeakable intentions, she particularly needed Chloe’s help.
Upon hearing Chloe’s command, she immediately walked over to Raina.
Seeing this, Raina sighed once more; why was it so hard to have a peaceful day?
However, since the opponent had come to her door, she didn’t need to be polite, not a small Veridian Institute that she cared about.
As Fiona charged forward, Raina suddenly gripped her shoulder, giving a yank and push.
Fiona staggered backward, colliding with Chloe Jarvis behind her.
