Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 259

Since the person before him was actually using the orchid fingers when conducting acupuncture, Trevor was sure to investigate her thoroughly. After hearing that Trevor was not a student. Layla smiled and said, “Let’s head over ther to eat something.” Now that her second plan had failed again, Layla could only execute her third one. Th was to wander around Julian and leave a strong impression on him. Nancy had told Layla that Julian for her eventually.

The moment Julian looks for Layla, she would simply carry on with their plan. Seeing that Layla had invited him to eat, Trevor raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “I have to wait here for another 23 minutes.” He had agreed to wait for that man for half an hour. Layla mentally rolled her eyes. She thought to herself, “He’s pretty good-looking and well-trained, but he sure is stupid. That man was only jesting, and he took it seriously.” She smiled again and said, “Then I’ll go ahead myself.”

Trevor nodded slightly. “Okay.” Layla left. She wanted Julian to notice her presence. Trevor looked at Layla’s back and narrowed his eyes. He instinctively got suspicious. The girl did not show any signs of psychological impact after being forcefully kissed by a man. Was she mentally strong, or was she only acting? Well, it didn’t matter. He would be investigating her.

He took out his phone and sent a message, “Investigate Jadeborough Medical University’s sophomore student, Layla Cory.” In less than half an hour, he received information. “Layla Cory. 19 years old. Came from the village of Yogan City. Her grandfather is a traditional medicine practitioner in the village. She had learned traditional medicine practices from him since she was young.”

Her background was indeed similar to that little girl back then. The little girl was also a skilled traditional medicine practitioner at merely the age of seven or eight. Putting away his phone, Trevor walked towards the crowded banquet. He wanted to take a look. It was very noisy in that crowded place. As soon as Trevor walked into the crowd, he heard the quiet discussion of three beautiful ladies.

“I didn’t expect the eldest son of the Parks family, Julian, to be together with a woman far below his standards. What a lucky country bumpkin.” “Don’t say that about her. She’s Joseph Quigley’s favorite student and a graduate student at Jadeborough Medical University.” “Tsk, she’s only 20 years old and already a graduate student at the Medical University? Who will be so gullible to believe that? Have any of you seen her certificate?

“Besides, don’t graduate students have to study in school? Joseph Quigley must have just said that to cover up for her. “Also, so what if she is a medical student? It doesn’t change the fact that she’s a country bumpkin and looks like one too. “Look at what she’s wearing at such a formal banquet. A down jacket with casual pants and sneakers. She’s here to be a clown.” “I think there’s nothing wrong with her outfit. It makes her look young and beautiful?”

“Yes it’s not a problem if it’s a casual event, but it’s a formal one today! It’s Old Mr. Xander’s 73-year- old birthday party. The entire banquet hall is filled with famous people. Everyone is wearing evening gowns and mink or cashmere coats. As expected, those from the countryside are indeed not presentable.” “In my opinion, those who talk about others behind their backs are worse.” Trevor’s voice was cold.

The three women immediately looked at Trevor awkwardly. No one recognized Trevor. A woman unhappy. “Who are you? How can you eavesdrop on someone’s conversation? at doesn’t make you any more presentable.” “I don’t need to be. I only wish to warn some people to not gossip behind other people’s backs. It might cause their tongues to grow piles. Oh, and if they ever meet someone unreasonable, they might even be torn apart.” Trevor’s voice was cold and sharp. “You!”

Trevor left, leaving the women furious. Seeing that Trevor had walked away, they spoke even more loudly. Could it be that a woman like Annalise Barton has die-hard fans?” ‘Of course! Her fans’ Twitter account has a Of cour few million fans already.” “Haha, I always thought that only poor and lowly girls would be her fan. I never expected that there would be her diehard fan at such a high-end banquet.” “He probably has a crush on Annalise Barton. Although she’s old-fashioned, she’s good-looking after

all. Coupled with her young age, she’s bound to have men at he feet.” “Look, look, Nancy Zeller is over there. She’s so beautiful!”

“That’s right. That is what you call a lady from a wealthy family. She’s the real socialite!” At that moment, Nancy was with her second uncle, Lee Xander. Every time she went to visit the Xander family, she would also visit Lee. However, he was always depressed and would not take a glance at her. However, it was different now. Lee seemed to have regained his vitality and his health was getting better day by day. Many people speculated that once Lee recovers, the Xander family would probably return to his hands.

After all, his business ability was outstanding. Back then, he had been in charge of the Xander family’s business for five years, and their profits had increased sevenfold during that time. It was also then that the Xander family became one of the top three families in Jadeborough. It was also because of the foundation that Let had laid then that the Xander family’s business could develop benignly.

All these years, Nancy had not been very interested in Lee. After all, a sickly person could not do anything for her. She only visited him out of courtesy every time. Her visits were also for Samuel to see. Samuel valued Lee greatly. However, things are different now. Lee had recovered. Nancy was very afraid that he would regain power. No matter what, it was always good to please him first.

She held Lee’s hand and deliberately announced, “When you transplanted your bone marrow back then, I was always praying for your recovery. Thankfully, after so many years, you have finally fully recovered.” “Yes,” Lee replied. He frowned slightly and quietly pulled his hand away. He didn’t like being too close to anyone, even to his own niece. “At that time, I thought that donating bone marrow would affect my body, but I thought that as long as you can be cured, it would be okay even if I died,” Nancy said.

Lee was shocked. “What did you say?” He frowned and looked at Nancy. “Were you the one who donated the bone marrow to me back then?” “No, no, I was just spouting nonsense,” Nancy said deliberately. Lee was smart. He would know the truth after investigating. She quickly changed the topic. “Uncle, do you like orchids? I saw that you planted a lot in your courtyard.” “Yes, I like orchids very much.” Lee’s impression of his niece became extremely bad. He hated smart alecs.

If she didn’t want to tell him that she was the one who donated her bone marrow, why would she bring up the topic? Back then, when he was hospitalized with leukemia, Julian found the bone marrow for him. Julian offered it to him in exchange for his presidential role in the Xander family’s business He agreed without thinking. He did not care about being the president at all. He only wanted to live well. He wanted to live well for the woman he loved. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

However,, when he survived and was discharged from the hospital, a farewell letter greeted him instead of his lover. She had fallen in love with someone else. It had happened even before he was hospitalized. From then on, he sealed himself in his small courtyard. He instructed his servants to take care of his orchids. Every day, he would lie in bed, waiting for news of his son and for death to knock on his door. “Uncle, is there a story behind those orchids?” Nancy asked.
