Chapter 30

    Chapter 30


    In the bedroom, Jenna suddenly felt guilty when faced with rk''s question. "O-Of course... I''ve


    seen it. It''s a family heirloom."


    rk had met countless people. From Jenna''s hesitation, he knew that she didn''t know.


    Matthew, a sly fox, even hid it from his daughter. Yet, he sent Jenna to study medicine. He must


    have prepared her to inherit ke Medical Group.


    So, rk didn''t expose her.


    Jenna quickly changed the subject. "rk, I''m not very interested in managing the family business.


    I studied modern medicine, so I want to learn to be independent. Can you help me with something?"


    rk looked up from the book. "What''s the matter?"


    "I want to work in a hospital."


    "Which hospital?"


    "The Hippocrates Hospital," Jenna assessed rk carefully, afraid of revealing her true intentions.


    Hippocrates Hospital? A meaningful glint appeared in rk''s eyes.


    "Alright." His cold voice echoed, a hint of intrigue detected if a person listened attentively.


    …


    During lunch, Jenna kept serving dishes to rk.


    rk only thanked her, then picked up his cup to drink water, not touching his fork.


    Judy observed this and shook her head silently.


    Having spent some time with the Reid family, she knew rk''s eating habits. He wouldn''t eat food


    that others picked for him. It looked like Jenna''s efforts were in vain.


    Yet, Judy wondered if rk would make an exception for Jenna since they were closed.


    rk noticed how distracted Judy was out of the corner of his eye. He ced his bowl directly in


    front of her. "The ke family''s chef has good culinary skills. Judy, have some more."


    Judy heard rk''s unexpectedly caring tone and came back to her senses. She saw Jenna''s face


    turn livid across the table.


    If looks could kill, Jenna''s gaze would have killed Judy ten thousand times over.

    Judy couldn''t help but tremble. She strongly suspected that rk was purposely stirring up Jenna''s


    discontent by using her.


    "I can''t eat that much." She gestured, pushing the bowl back. "You eat more."


    The bowl was ced awkwardly between them.


    Meeting rk''spelling gaze, Judy''s hands felt heavy, unable to push any further.


    After a while, she forced a smile and put the bowl back in front of her. "Thank you."


    During lunch, Matthew subtly chatted about business dealings. rk seemed to be in a good mood


    and even revealed some internal information about the project.


    "Did Mr. Patel from the Securities Regtory Commission say that?" Matthew''s eyes lit up.


    rk stayed calm and collected as ever. He replied, "It was my assistant who overheard Mr. Patel


    during a negotiationst week.


    "However, the financing risk is still significant. I heard that severalpanies, including the Wilson


    Group, are still observing."


    "A financing project that the Wilson Group is eyeing must be promising," Matthew said with a smile.


    "Ava, it''s such a good day. Pour us some wine."


    Looking at Matthew, Judy couldn''t help but secretly worry for him.


    Although she didn''t understand much about business, what rk said earlier was uncertain.


    rk used the name of a well-respectedpany to make the project sound more credible.


    Matthew blindly believed in the project''s huge returns, despite no guarantee of sess.


    Considering the current huge losses in ke Group, if Matthew invested in the project, the liabilities


    would reach their peak. ke Group would likely go bankrupt if a small mistake were to happen.
