CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: MAKE THAT GREEN TEA DIE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING HOW

Sabrina Hayes was unaware of the events happening outside at the coffee shop.

After the interview, Josee Sheffield took her to the research institute.

The research lab was more complete than the last time she saw it; most of the lacking medical equipment had arrived.

As for her office, it was almost fully decorated.

Josee Sheffield had generously prepared the best office desk, chair, sofa, and even the equipment in the lounge for her.

Every single item was extremely tasteful and expensive!

Seeing this, Sabrina said sincerely, "Isn’t this too extravagant? You could have just arranged something ordinary for me. Most of my time will be spent on the research front line, so I probably won’t even get to enjoy these... Instead of this, why not invest the money in the lab? That’s where money burns every day."

Josee Sheffield laughed, "Am I short of this bit of money? Besides, once the lab is set up, there’s nothing more for me to do. I don’t understand research; I’ll be making money lying down by following you. Before that, can’t I show off a bit?"

Speaking of which, he deliberately emphasized, "Making you feel a bit guilty now so that when you become successful, you’ll remember my kindness. That way, I can get more... I call this a long-term investment!"

Sabrina burst into laughter, "I think you’re more like fishing with a long line for a big catch?"

Josee let out a light hum, "If you say so, it’s not entirely wrong!"

Sabrina laughed helplessly.

After joking around with Josee for a bit, she suddenly pondered and asked, "Since President Sheffield has spare money, are you interested in developing an AI medical device company?"

"Hmm?"

Josee seemed surprised by her suggestion, "You want to continue developing this field? Why? Is it because of the Hawthorne Group..."

Do you still have feelings?

He didn’t say it aloud in the end, but his brow had already furrowed.

Sabrina seemed to read his thoughts and immediately said, "You’re overthinking it. I’m doing this purely because I can’t stand to see Brooke Sinclairs ruining Hawthorne Group’s former clients! Those were my hard-earned efforts, negotiated bit by bit... Now Brooke Sinclairs is obviously targeting me, so why should I sit back and do nothing?

I can’t let her bully me repeatedly without retaliating... I want her to know that other people’s hard work isn’t so easily taken!"

Upon hearing this, Josee’s brow finally relaxed.

So that’s it?

As long as she doesn’t still have hopeful thoughts about someone from the Hawthorne Group.

As for other matters...

"Alright, I support you. Since Brooke Sinclairs has such a big appetite and wants to touch the field you’re good at, let’s show her that not everything is within her reach. In the end... we’ll make sure she gains nothing, empty-handed."

Josee spoke with amusement, even a bit of playful intent, "This time, the new company won’t be under The Sheffield Group’s name, so that woman named Sinclairs can experience what ’not knowing what hit her’ truly means."

Sabrina didn’t object, seeing the man looking so scheming.

She not only wanted to outdo Brooke but also earn more money to create better opportunities for Darling Zara!

After discussing and agreeing with Josee, they talked about some details.

Afterward, Sabrina left the preparations entirely in his hands.

Josee didn’t find it troublesome.

He originally had big ambitions and liked to challenge high-difficulty tasks.

Since Sabrina’s breakthrough medicines had already made the pharmaceutical field number one domestically, it was only natural to do the same with medical devices!

If he could bring down the Hawthorne Group in the process, all the better!

A week passed by in the blink of an eye.

Sabrina and Josee’s work was progressing smoothly, but the divorce was making no headway.

Jordan Hawthorne hadn’t appeared for a whole week.

The evidence Sabrina had planned to collect was brought to a premature halt.

Damian Langley called again to inform her, "Collecting evidence is necessary; otherwise, the court won’t hear the case. The judges I know have advised several times for you to settle privately!"

Sabrina frowned, feeling this wasn’t a solution either.

She couldn’t sit here waiting forever.

Since that was the case, she had no choice but to hire a private detective to gather evidence.

With that thought, Sabrina quickly found a reliable detective agency online and arranged to meet them that afternoon to entrust them with the task.

The detective agency was clearly experienced with such services, and their confidentiality was top-notch, so after Sabrina paid, she went home reassured.

In the evening, Galina Young and her husband called to inquire about the progress, "Has he come back to discuss the divorce? Have you been wronged?"

Sabrina replied truthfully, "No... he hasn’t returned at all; counting the three days before you left, it’s been more than ten days since he was home."

"That Jordan Hawthorne is truly outrageous!"

Galina Young was clearly very angry.

If he no longer cared about this family, why drag on the divorce? Is he intentionally tormenting her daughter?

That Jordan Hawthorne is such a bully!

Compared to them, Sabrina was relatively calm.

She gently reassured, "Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I’ve already hired someone to gather evidence of his infidelity. Once it’s found, the procedures will naturally go quickly!"

The two felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

Not wanting to talk about that unpleasant man, they switched topics, "Tomorrow is Darling Zara’s birthday, and we couldn’t request leave in time, so we can’t be with her. But your dad and I have sent gifts; make sure to check for them."

"Okay."

Sabrina didn’t say much more.

It was her parents’ kind gesture.

Early the next morning, Sabrina got up and dressed Zara up beautifully.

The little one’s features were already exquisite, like a doll; wearing a pretty princess dress and with her hair styled beautifully, she was unbearably adorable.

She had already arranged with Tessa Hughes that after Zara got out of school, they’d go celebrate.

However, what Sabrina didn’t expect was to receive a call from Chase Lynch shortly after they set out.

Though the two had been in the same company, they hadn’t interacted much.

She was slightly surprised when she answered, only to hear Jordan Hawthorne’s voice first on the other end.

In a cold tone, the man questioned, "Sabrina, did you block my number?"

Sabrina paused for a moment and didn’t respond.

She had indeed blocked Jordan Hawthorne.

They barely contacted each other throughout the year, and she found it occupying her phone’s memory.

"What do you want?"

Sabrina asked indifferently.

Jordan seemed displeased with her attitude but suppressed his emotions and said coldly, "Today is Zara’s birthday. I have organized a party at a five-star hotel under the Hawthorne Group’s name, exclusively to celebrate for her. Make sure to be there on time!"

Sabrina was stunned for a few seconds, her expression quite surprised.

This man... actually remembered Zara’s birthday?

Didn’t he usually have to be reminded every year?

How did he change this year?

Originally, given their current situation, Sabrina should refuse.

But on second thoughts, this might be an opportunity to gather divorce evidence.

After considering it for a while, she agreed, "Got it!"
