Chapter 579 The Third Party
The person calling Chloe was her academic advisor in the Trust Law direction of the Finance Department, Mr. Ward.
Chloe was puzzled. She had just arrived at the school and didn't know why her advisor was looking for her.
"Chloe, if you have some time, could you go to the hospital for me? My child is sick today and I can't leave."
Chloe asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's not about me. It's about one of our students, Angela Fox. It's so embarrassing to say this, but she was caught in bed with a married man. It's so humiliating. Ms. Baker, I'm really sorry to trouble you with this."
"No problem, which hospital?" Chloe asked.
"It seems to be the women's hospital."
"The women's hospital? Okay, I'll go right away." Chloe thought: 'Jane works at the women's hospital. I'll call Jane later to ask for the student's room number.'
Just as she was about to call Jane after getting in the car, Jane called her.
"Chloe, you won't believe the drama at our hospital today. Three people came to our hospital today. The wife slapped the mistress's face to a pulp, almost scalded her private parts, and nearly castrated the husband. Impressive, right? Now both of them are hospitalized. The man's name is James, and the woman's name is Angela."
Chloe was speechless.
The world is too small.
"Their room numbers."
"4025 and 4149. Wait, Chloe, you're not coming just to watch the drama, are you?"
"Who doesn't love a good show?" Chloe replied and hung up the phone.
Jane is an obstetrician. She had only heard about the incident at the hospital today and wasn't on the scene. She didn't expect Chloe to be so interested in the drama.
After arriving at the hospital, Chloe first went to see Angela and offered her condolences as a teacher.
Chloe had just started her job and couldn't recognize all the students. Moreover, she hadn't clearly seen the person who had thrown herself into James's arms at the school gate earlier.
Chloe said to Angela, "As a graduate student, you should know better than to get involved in things like this."
Angela kept the blanket pulled over her head, sobbing, without saying a word.
Angela's legs were spread open, and hot water had been poured on her lower body.
To be honest, Chloe didn't feel any sympathy for a woman like Angela. Angela probably knew that a man James's age would definitely have a wife, but she still threw herself at him, likely for money, only to find out he was a fraud.
Chloe thought: This is the fate of a mistress. If I had thrown myself at Donovan, relying on our past relationship, I would have ended up the same way. Cynthia would be ruthless if she took action. I need to come up with a plan.
Chloe patted Angela and then went to James's room. She saw that one of James's eyes was bruised and swollen, and a patch of his hair had been pulled out. He was yelling, looking quite ridiculous.
Seeing Chloe, James showed a look of disbelief and lowered the hand covering his eye. "Chloe?"
James hadn't seen Chloe in years.
James and Chloe were never friends, and they certainly weren't enemies now.
Chloe's long hair flowed, with slightly curled ends. The youthful innocence on her face was gone, replaced by a bright charm and elegance. This elegance made James suddenly feel like retreating.
"Are you here because of the post?" James asked.
Chloe thought: He just confessed without being asked. When he posted it, he didn't use his name, but now he suspects I'm here because of it.
"Angela is my student. I don't know about the post," Chloe replied, standing by James's bed.
James probably realized he had revealed something, so he looked a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Chloe received several WhatsApp messages from Ann: [Chloe, did you know James was staying in my house and brought a woman there? I went home to get some materials and caught them in the act. I was so mad. This is my house. That woman told me the house belonged to James. Don't you think James deserves to be killed?]
[Aren't you afraid they'll sue you?] Chloe asked.
[Sue me? If they try, I'll say they trespassed. I completely kicked James out, burned his stuff, and changed the locks. Don't you think it's despicable for James to pretend to be a big shot and deceive young girls? But the main reason I'm messaging you this WhatsApp is to thank your Mr. Blake for giving me the idea. James living alone in my house revealed all his flaws and made him overconfident.]
