    Nathan McCarthy frowned and looked at Jessica displeasedly, <b>saying</b>, “What are you doing here? Did youe here just because you knew I was here?”


    “Rx, I didn’t misunderstand you, and I’m not here for you,” Jessica said coldly.


    Carly didn’t believe that Jessica would not be upset when she saw her husband with another woman. She thought Jessica was just pretending.


    “If you aren’t here for Nathan, then maybe you’re here to see someone in theb? I can help you get inside. Or people like you can’t enter theb without assistance,” Carly offered, her tone condescending.


    Carly was an intern at theb, a position she had worked hard to obtain.


    Since she had started working at theb, Nathan had treated her differently.


    After all, theb only recruited one or two interns every three years, and if Carlypleted her internship with high marks, she could stay.


    In Carly’s eyes, Jessica, despite being Nathan’s wife, came from a humble background and only worked as a regr office worker at a smallpany.


    How could someone like her deserve to be Nathan’s wife? She was nothingpared to Carly.


    Carly looked at Jessica with a sense of superiority, expecting Jessica to show envy and jealousy.


    However, Jessica remained indifferent, unmoved by the situation.


    Nathan also frowned at Jessica and said coldly, “Jessica, stop causing trouble. Why can’t you be more like Carly? She’s two years younger than you, yet she’s already in theb working on a major project. And look at you, dressed like this every day, working as a lowly clerk. You don’t feel embarrassed, but I do.”


    Nathan nced disdainfully at Jessica’s white T–shirt and jeans.


    He couldn’t understand why his mother had insisted he marry Jessica<b>, </b>who wasn’t worthy of being his wife.


    His wife should be someone like Carly, excellent, beautiful, gentle, and kind.


    Hearing Nathan praise her while belittling Jessica made Carly even more smug.

    She said shyly, “Nathan, I’m not as amazing as you say. I’ve just worked here and don’t know much yet.”


    “But in my eyes, you’re amazing,” Nathan said


    Jessica watched their affectionate disy with cold eyes, showing no emotion.


    This left Carly feeling frustrated. She had gone out of her way to upset Jessica, yet Jessica wasn’t reacting at all.


    In fact, Jessica didn’t care about the two of them.


    She nced apologetically at Audrey, sorry that Audrey had to witness such a scene..


    Just then, theb director hurried over.


    Carly’s eyes lit up when she saw the middle–aged man. She grabbed Nathan’s hand excitedly and said, “Nathan, that’s ourb director. Let’s go greet him. Yourpany is looking for ab to partner with for a project; right?”


    Nathan’s eyes brightened, and he nodded. “Alright.”


    Nathan thought, ‘Jessica is worthlesspared to Carly.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    The two of them walked towards the director


    “Mr. Cooley, I’m Carly, an intern at theb, and this is my friend Nathan,” Carly introduced eagerly.


    “Nice to meet you, Mr. Cooley. I’m Nathan McCarthy from McCarthy Pharmacy,” Nathan said, extending his hand politely.


    Samson Cooley nodded at the two standing before him and said, “How do you do?”


    Nathan awkwardly withdrew his hand when Samson didn’t shake it.


    Carly was thrilled that Samson greeted them. She quickly said, “Mr. Cooley, my friend has a project…


    Samson interrupted, “Sorry, I need to pick someone up. Excuse me.”


    He hurried past them without waiting for a response.


    Carly, worried Nathan might be upset, quickly said, “Nathan, Mr. Cooley must have something urgent. I’ll introduce you another time.”


    Nathan, though disappointed, nodded in understanding.

    Just as they were about to leave, they saw Samson stop in front of <b>Jessica</b>.


    “Ms. Miller, sorry for beingte. I’ll take you inside now,” Samson said respectfully to Jessica.


    Jessica nodded slightly and said, “Thank you.


    She didn’t even nce at Nathan and Carly as she and Audrey followed Samson into theb.


    It wasn’t until they disappeared that Carly reacted.


    “How do they know Mr. Cooley, and why did he let them in?” Carly said.


    Thisb strictly prohibited outsiders from entering. Even as an intern, Carly was only allowed to stay outside and couldn’t ess the core areas.


    Nathan frowned, surprised that Jessica knew Samson.


    Inside theb, Samson personally took Jessica and Audrey to a private room equipped with all the necessary instruments and materials.


    After Samson left, Audrey turned to Jessica and asked, “Was that your husband?”


    “It’s a sham marriage. We’ll divorce sooner orter,” Jessica said tly.


    Audrey nodded and said coldly, “He’s indeed unworthy o


    you. Too foolish.”


    Audrey then immersed herself in researching the medication for Brian, while Jessica went to find Samson for some matters.


    When Audrey went out of theb, Jessica was already waiting outside. “How did it go? Were you sessful?”


    Audrey looked pale and shook her head, saying, “No, it’s still missing an ingredient.”


    “What is it? I can help you find it,” Jessica said.


    Audrey shook her head and said, “You won’t be able to find it.”


    Seeing that Audrey didn’t want to borate, Jessica didn’t press further.


    Audrey’s resources were vast, and finding something shouldn’t be difficult for her.


    “If you need anything, just let me know,” Jessica said.
