Chapter 373 Your Tricks Are Stupid
“Excuse me, what can I do for you?” Josina asked in a friendly manner.
Looking at the woman’s friendly face, Thalia curled her lips in disdain.
“You might be able to seduce other men. But it’s impossible for you to get a man like Finley,” Thalia said condescendingly.
Josina couldn’t take her harsh words and felt wronged. Her eyes instantly turned red.
“Do you know Dr. McMillan?”
“Yes.” Thalia gave a proud smile. “And I am telling you that you can’t beat me.”
“Dr. McMillan and I are not what you think…”
Josina was about to cry because Thalia intimidated her. But Thalia looked powerful, so Josina didn’t dare to offend her.
“Dr. McMillan and I are just friends.”
“Come on. Your tricks are stupid. I just came to warn you not to fight with me,” Thalia said with contempt.
A person like Josina was not worth Thalia spending too much time with.
Therefore, Thalia showed little kindness for the first time and did not continue to make things difficult for her.
Josina walked past her holding her skirt in a daze. Unexpectedly, she twisted her ankle and fell down unsteadily.
Thalia stood upright on the side and watched Josina’s skirt split open.
Josina was in a sorry state and looked funny.
Josina was about to leave, but the noise she caused soon attracted the guests nearby.
Finley’s figure quickly passed Thalia. Then he took off his coat and carefully covered Josina.
“Dr. McMillan…”
Josina choked and called out to him. She could no longer hold her emotions and cried in Finley’s arms. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“It’s okay. I’m here.” Finley said in a gentle voice. “Did you sprain your ankle? Let me take a look.”
Thalia quietly looked at Finley’s caring face and was actually a little fascinated.
However, the next second, Josina complained in Finley’s arms.
“She pushed me…”
When Alexa and Terrence arrived at the venue, they happened to hear that.
It was clear who Josina was talking about.
Thalia wasn’t a pushover, so she argued back.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You tripped because you are stupid.”
Finley glanced at her quietly, his eyes cold and sharp like ice.
Based on her understanding of Thalia’s character, Alexa felt her words were not trustworthy.
“Ms. Crompton, have you not done enough?”
“What did I do? She was being unreasonable.”
Thalia was emotional, and Terrence shielded Alexa.
“Let Rayan handle it,” he ordered coldly.
Hearing the commotion, Irvin and Rayan also hurried over.
The moment he saw Thalia, Rayan was so angry that his temples hurt.
But Thalia did not explain anything and just left.
“There are no surveillance cameras. We can’t be sure it was Ms. Crompton who did it just by the words of this lady,” Irvin said rationally.
“In any case, this isn’t over.” Alexa said firmly, “Mr. Niebergall, please give us a fair and just explanation.”
After that, Alexa and Terrence drove Josina to the hospital with Finley.
A dinner party was ruined, and the attention of the media was attracted by them.
The fake smile on Irvin’s face was fading, and he was mad.
Luckily, a check-up showed Josina was fine.
Finley bandaged her up and insisted she stay in the hospital for a few days to rest.
Josina calmed down, but her eyes were still moist.
Noticing that, Alexa and Terrence went out together.
Finley covered her with a quilt, but Josina grabbed the hem of his clothes shyly.
“Dr. McMillan…”
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?” Finley asked seriously.
“My foot still hurts a lot. Can I trouble you to stay for a while longer? I don’t have many friends in New York,” Josina said in a weak voice.
“Sure.”
Finley looked like he was easy to talk to. He took the chair and sat down by Josina’s bed.
Josina blushed, but she still asked uncertainly.
“Dr. McMillan, she told me… she liked you quite a bit, so you…”
“I have nothing to do with her. I don’t know her,” Finley replied with a cold face.
“Oh.”
After Josina fell asleep, Finley quietly left the ward.
Alexa and Terrence were still waiting at the door.
“Is she alright?” Alexa asked with concern.
“She is fine. She was just scared.”
“Then you have to be there for her.” Alexa said, “She is just a young girl after all.”
Finley pursed his thin lips tightly, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
However, Terrence hit the nail on the head and asked.
“How did you get involved with Thalia?”
“I don’t know.”
Finley didn’t look happy when Thalia was mentioned.
“She has been fooling around. If you can’t handle her, stop talking to her to avoid trouble.” Terrence had found out what kind of woman Thalia was long ago.
No one expected such a thing to happen. For a moment, the atmosphere was oppressive.
The next day, Alexa received Thalia’s invitation.
They agreed to meet at a café. When Alexa arrived, Thalia was sitting by a bed, stirring the sugar cubes in the coffee.
Thalia didn’t look frivolous anymore but refined.
However, Thalia couldn’t hide her rebelliousness completely. Alexa sat down in front of her without a change in expression.
“What kind of deal do you want to make with me?”
“As the wife of the CEO of Hudson Group, you are true to your name.”
“I don’t want to talk nonsense with you.” Alexa said coldly, “I can make a bargain with you as long as you can offer enough.”
“What if I want Finley?”
Thalia smiled, and her tone was playful.
“To be honest, I fell in love with him at first sight.”
Alexa’s face froze. She could not imagine how Finley would react when he heard that.
“Thalia, are you sure you are not joking with me? You are Rayan’s fiancée.”
Alexa concealed the surprise in her eyes.
“So what? What if I can help you take down Rayan?” Thalia’s smile grew.
Alexa glanced at her but did not reply immediately.
Thalia calmly took out a documents pouch.
“I know you have a grudge against Irvin. The information here is enough to send him to prison. I like dealing with smart people,” Thalia said calmly.
“Thalia, what kind of person are you?” Alexa’s eyes were curious.
“I am doing this because I think it is fun.” Thalia shrugged indifferently. “No other reason.”
