In the following days, Quentin, Charlotte, and others were tirelessly searching for a bone marrow match for Janessa, using every possible means.
Quentin contacted the war department to check all the bone marrow banks in Striudan’s hospitals, but to no avail.
He also spent a large sum of money searching, attracting many who tried their luck for a reward, but still, no match was found.
Virginia, upon hearing the news, also went to Striudan Hospital to check on Janessa’s condition.
“Ofrustol City…”
Virginia stepped off her private jet, wearing large sunglasses and exuding a powerful aura. “The ancient capital of six dynasties, indeed extraordinary…”
“Now, it’s time to see the child and that woman…”
Virginia arrived at the intensive care unit just as Charlotte was sitting by Janessa’s bedside.
Virginia’s skin was fair as snow, and her eyes were like clear water, exuding an elegant and noble aura that made others feel inferior and unworthy of desecration. Yet, beneath her cold and aloof demeanor was a captivating charm that was hard to resist.
“What are you doing here?” Seeing her rival, Charlotte’s face turned icy.
“As your superior, I came to visit little Janessa.”
Virginia’s expression was equally cold, leaving Charlotte speechless.
“Hello, little Janessa,” Virginia said gently, sitting by the bed and holding Janessa’s small hand.
“Hello, sister.”
“Mommy, who is this pretty lady?” Innocent Janessa asked Charlotte with wide, curious eyes.
“This is Mommy’s boss, Virginia.”
“She’s about Mommy’s age, so you can call her Auntie,” Charlotte explained gently to Janessa, then turned to Virginia with a cold smile.
“Janessa is such a good girl. When you get better, I’ll take you to the amusement park.”
“Yay! I love going to the amusement park! Brother should come too,” Janessa said excitedly.
Virginia glanced at Charlotte with disdain.
Charlotte, who are you calling Auntie? I’m much younger than you!
Virginia thought to herself, her expression still icy, clearly displeased with the title.
The two women locked eyes, their gazes sharp, as if a battle could break out at any moment.
“Charlotte, come with me. I need to talk to you.”
Reluctantly, Charlotte followed Virginia outside.
They sat facing each other in a secluded pavilion.
“I heard Time Group is doing quite well lately,” Virginia said coldly.
“Thanks to you, Director Yue,” Charlotte retorted.
“I don’t care much about Time Group. Quentin wanted it, so I got it for him.”
“As for him giving it to you, do as you please.”
“I’m here today for something else.”
Hearing this, Charlotte recalled the trick Quentin and Virginia played on her and felt anger rising.
“Don’t worry, Director Yue. I remember the bet with Time Group clearly.”
“What do you want? I need to take care of Janessa.”
Charlotte struggled to keep her patience.
“What exactly did you do with that man named Nash that made Quentin so heartbroken?”
Virginia’s tone was icy, more like an interrogation.
“Virginia, what are you talking about? Nothing happened between us!”
“He was just my friend at first. Now everyone knows what kind of person he is.”
“If you keep slandering me, I won’t let this go.”
Charlotte was furious and shouted at Virginia.
Virginia stood up and slapped Charlotte hard across the face, leaving half of her face red.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done.”
“I have spies in Time Group monitoring your work. I know everything that happened in the boardroom that day.”
“Quentin sacrificed so much for you. Not only did you not cherish it, but you also did such disgraceful things with another man!”
“Having someone track your movements and catching you booking hotel rooms. You shameless woman!”
Charlotte was stunned. She had no idea why Virginia was accusing her of such things. She valued her reputation above all else and would never tolerate such slander.
Charlotte stood up, furious, and slapped Virginia back hard, making her step back while holding her face.
“How dare you hit me? I’ll fight you even if it means losing face!”
“Afraid of you?!” Charlotte retorted defiantly.
Neither woman was willing to back down as they started fighting each other fiercely. The scene turned chaotic.
