My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him

Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Hahaha! So Satisfying!

No! Impossible!

How could it be Alexander Johnson?

Harry King was Lucas Hughes’s college classmate, what does he have to do with Alexander Johnson?

Chloe Simpson held the phone to her ear, listening carefully, but there was no anomaly on the other end of the line.

She thought, maybe she was just overthinking.

Or perhaps investigating Mom’s death lately had been too exhausting.

Plus, this matter seemed related to Alexander Johnson, so it was leading her to hallucinate.

Thinking this way, Chloe didn’t suspect anything further.

"It seems Alexander Johnson was kicked out of Johnson Clan Group because of that investment in Pryvale Hospital. I’m not too clear on the specifics."

Harry’s voice came over once more.

Chloe frowned, then smiled bitterly.

Chloe, Chloe, you two no longer have anything to do with each other.

What else are you overthinking?

Besides, Alexander Johnson is the Eldest Young Master of Johnson Clan Group, the future heir of the Johnson Family. Does someone of his status need your concerns?

A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, after all.

Besides, it might just be the Johnson Family’s way of giving him experience.

Right now, your most important task is to clearly investigate Mom’s death.

Apart from that, everything else is insignificant.

"Oh. Thank you, Harry. I’ve decided to return to work at the hospital. If you find anything, just call me directly."

Chloe said this, recalling her role as a nurse in the emergency room, and added:

"If my phone doesn’t get through, it’s probably because I’m in the emergency room. You can come directly to the hospital to find me."

"Alright, I got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. Take care, and call me if anything comes up."

Harry nodded and gave a few words of advice before hanging up.

"...Okay, I will."

Chloe initially wanted to decline, but after thinking it over, she agreed.

Now, the only person around her with a bit of influence was Harry.

Uncle Sam has some standing in the hospital, but it took him years of hard work to climb to his current position.

Moreover, he has done enough for Mom over the years.

Chloe really didn’t want to bother him anymore.

And Uncle Sam doesn’t have much backing, plus he has parents to support.

But Harry is different.

The King Family has a certain influence in Kyohai, not as much as the Johnson Family.

But the King Family is notable too.

Back then, Lucas Hughes often talked to her about Harry.

She learned about this thanks to Lucas.

At the beginning of their time together, Lucas really frequently complained to her.

[Let me tell you, Chloe, in our college dorm, there were four of us, and the one I disliked the most was Harry King.]

[Me, Harry Mason, and Noah Woods, all of us came from ordinary families, none of us had the airs of rich boys.]

[Only Harry King, flaunting his family’s money, acted so full of himself, constantly showing off everywhere he went.]

[He’d drive that Lamborghini around, dragging us wherever, obviously to flaunt his car to us.]

[Whenever we went out, if we mentioned eating, he’d jump out to say he’d treat us, taking us here and there.]

[I couldn’t stand his behavior, as if he’s the only one with money, as if we couldn’t even afford a meal.]

[He’d even deliberately take us to eat seafood or something. Oh, there’s one time he bragged about bluefin tuna.]

[Harry Mason told me afterward that the fish came from the top tier of the seafood auction. And Harry King said nothing, just wanted to see us embarrassed, secretly enjoying himself.]

[Sure enough, after graduating, he never contacted us once.]

[I know we can’t match his status...]

These words, as if spoken just yesterday, surfaced in her mind unsolicitedly.

Even now, Chloe vividly remembers Lucas Hughes’s face when he complained about these things.

Why didn’t she notice earlier? This man is such a jerk!

Clearly, there were signs long ago, but she just didn’t see them.

Perhaps this is the confusion of being in the situation, clarity from the outside perspective.

Thankfully, she has now freed herself from that beast Lucas Hughes.

Fortunately, it’s not too late.

As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the next best time is now.

Anyway, it’s all over now, the marriage ended, everything’s behind her.

Now, she just wants to fully investigate Mom’s matter and live her own life well.

Chloe took a deep breath, throwing all these thoughts out of her mind.

After completing the onboarding process, Chloe took a cab home.

The sky was still early when she returned home, so Chloe opened her computer to prepare.

Since it’s been so long since she last worked in the emergency department, she needed to familiarize herself again.

She informed the hospital that she’d start three days later.

Moreover, this time the position of Assistant Nurse Manager is different from her previous role as Emergency Supervisor Nurse.

She’d have to handle a lot of work.

Over the next three days, Chloe almost didn’t leave home, except for essential errands like buying groceries, continually preparing.

After three days, she had finally finished preparing.

The evening of the third day, she organized all her highlighted materials and packed them in her bag.

On the fourth day, she woke up an hour earlier than her usual workday.

After getting ready meticulously, she headed to the hospital early.

However, she received a call from the HR department as soon as she arrived.

"Nurse Simpson, I’m sorry, there’s been a major incident in the emergency room these past two days. Your position is already occupied, I only received the notice yesterday."

"I’m unsure how to tell you, the emergency room is still in chaos. Apologies, but there’s only a Supervisor Nurse vacancy left, do you think..."

"It’s fine, if you don’t want it, that’s okay too. Once a position is vacant here, I’ll contact you again. Rest assured, it’s a problem on our end, we’ll compensate you with a month’s salary."

"This way, you’ll have plenty of time and financial resources to arrange and find your next job. Does that work for you? If not, I’ll apply to the leadership for an additional two months’ salary compensation."

The HR employee kept saying favorable things.

"...It’s okay, this is an unforeseen emergency, unpredictable for anyone. Isn’t there a Supervisor Nurse vacancy? I can continue as Supervisor Nurse."

"I was previously a Supervisor Nurse, so I’m more familiar with this role, can start right away, without much preparation. The emergency room is lacking staff now, I can go there directly."

Chloe paused and responded.

"Alright, Nurse Simpson, if it’s like this, that’s great. I’ll immediately call the emergency room."

The HR staff chuckled broadly, promptly calling the emergency room.

"Nurse Simpson, I’ve reached out, you can report directly, or I can take you there."

After hanging up, the HR employee spoke.

"No need, I’ve been an old employee at the hospital, quite familiar with the emergency room, I was originally a Supervisor Nurse there, I’ll go myself."

Chloe smiled and headed to the emergency room on her own.

But on her way there, she pondered one question.

Why did the position that was confirmed suddenly become unavailable?

She had worked at Ansun Hospital for so many years and never heard of such a thing.

Other small hospitals might have such issues, but Ansun Hospital is the most prestigious private hospital in Kyohai, these things shouldn’t happen.

She didn’t know why, but she felt a vague unease in her heart.

Oh well, thinking about it here is useless, she’ll know the situation once she arrives at the emergency room.

At nine o’clock, Chloe arrived at the emergency room.

But she never expected that the Assistant Nurse Manager in the emergency room was such a familiar face.

It turned out that the person who took the Assistant Nurse Manager position she was supposed to enter was her former adversary.

No, to be precise, it was her love rival.

A rival who also held affection for Lucas Hughes, Lydia Brooks.

"Chloe? Weren’t you already away from the hospital? How come you’re back?"

Lydia saw Chloe and walked over with a grin.

As she spoke, she leaned in to whisper in Chloe’s ear, "I heard you divorced Lucas. Do you know? Lucas heard I returned from overseas and joined Ansun Hospital. Tonight he’s specially arranging a welcome party, just for the two of us!"

Chloe had just changed clothes, bustled around, poured a cup of water, and upon hearing Lydia’s words, she spat the water right into her face.

"Pfft!"

She truly didn’t expect, after so many years, this woman still hadn’t seen through the scoundrel Lucas Hughes’s true colors.
