Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 708:

Joyce remained unfazed.

“All I care about is looking exactly like the person in the photo. Nothing else matters to me.”

Joyce narrowed her eyes as she watched the medical staff push Alexander back into the operating room.

This was his fifth major procedure, with thirty smaller ones still to come before anyone could assess the final results.

Inside the operating room, an assistant turned to the doctor.

“This kind of extensive reconstruction increases the risk of facial collapse later. The effect will only last around six months. Shouldn’t we warn the patient?”

The doctor picked up a scalpel, making an incision along Alexander’s face.

“Do you think anyone who comes here isn’t prepared for the risks? They’re willing to risk everything for what they want. Our job is to give them fleeting perfection.”

Once their faces collapsed, those patients would return to pay for repairs, feeding the industry’s growth.

Cosmetic surgery was an endless journey.

Everyone knew this truth. But once people driven by greed and vanity began down this road, they couldn’t turn back.

The following day, Daniela stayed home from work. Nina was organizing the CEO’s office, observing indifferently as Linden lingered around Natalie, constantly calling her “sweetheart.”

A smirk tugged at Nina’s lips as she watched the unfolding scene in silence. All morning, Natalie shot desperate looks at Nina, silently begging for her to intervene, but Nina remained indifferent.

By noon, Elyse showed up and tugged Nina aside.

Elyse reprimanded her.

“Natalie’s been looking at you all morning, pleading for help, and you act like you don’t see it. Are you blind? Didn’t you notice that jerk trying to take advantage of her?”

Nina continued wiping the table with calm indifference.

“Is that so?”

Elyse’s anger flared up. She placed her hands on her hips, her words laced with fury.

“Really, Nina? What happened to you? That’s your sister! Look at Linden all over her, and you don’t even think about stepping in? What’s wrong with you?”

Nina gave a bitter laugh, throwing Elyse a cold look as she tossed the cloth aside.

“Oh, I’d love to know what’s wrong with me, too.

You had no issue sending me to Linden’s bed, but now you can’t stand him bothering my sister? Am I worth less than her?”

Upon hearing that, Elyse showed no sign of guilt. She quickly checked to ensure no one was around before retorting, “Why are you raising your voice like that?”

Nina had expected Elyse to feel some guilt for treating her virginity as a mere transaction. Instead, Elyse pressed on, “Are you out of your mind? If Linden finds out it wasn’t Natalie that night, what happens then? Nina, can’t you consider your sister for once? She’s fought so hard to get to where she is now.”noveldrama

Nina’s fury erupted, and she let out a sharp, bitter laugh.

“Oh, sure, Natalie’s had it hard. Meanwhile, I’ve got it easy. Everything’s about her. Even handing me off to some guy just for her benefit!”

At that moment, Natalie finally broke free from Linden and walked over just in time to hear Nina’s words. She gave Nina a look of contempt.
