She answered eagerly, only to hear a cold voice.

"Jane Evans? Don't waste your effort. The Evans family has made it clear no hospital will hire you..."

Jane's pupils contracted, anger surging within her.

After the call ended, she clenched her fists, eyes reddening.

How could they?

How could her mother and brother be so vicious!

She would never forgive them! Never!!

She buried her head in her hands, weeping softly.

After crying for what felt like an eternity, Jane suddenly looked up.

There was one hospital she hadn't applied to yet!

Nora Research Institute!

But Nora had never accepted interns.

She had never sent a resume there.

Could she... try?

Jane took a deep breath, gathering her courage to email her resume to Nora Research Institute.

Then she waited anxiously for a response.

Some time later, her phone rang again.

Jane answered excitedly, only to hear Jason Evans's mocking laughter.

"Hahaha, Jane Evans, heard you're sending resumes everywhere? Can't even land an internship? Serves you right!"

Jane bit her lip.

Jason continued taunting.

"This is all on Third Brother and Mrs. Evans's orders! They want you ruined! They want you jobless for life! Just you wait, Jane!"

Jane's eyes reddened.

Jason gloated.

"Heard you even applied to Nora Research Institute? Hahaha, the medical system is under the Evans family's control! I've posted your resume on the Campus Network! You're a laughingstock now!"

Jane immediately opened the Campus Network.

Her application email was publicly displayed, covered in scornful comments:

—Nora never takes interns. Jane is so delusional!

—She's humiliated our entire school!

—Think she's so great just because she ranks first in her major?

—This is so embarrassing!

—Will Nora blacklist our school now?

—What is Jane thinking?!

...

Each comment felt like a stab, making Jane dizzy.

She had only tried applying, but now faced public humiliation!

Rage filled her heart.

She clenched her fists tightly, burying her face as she cried.

Why?

Why was the Evans family doing this to her?

Just because she was poor?

How could they be so cruel!

After crying for a long time, her phone vibrated with a new message.

Jane Evans's hands trembled as she picked up her phone.

The screen lit up.

A new unread text message appeared.

She took a deep breath and wiped her tears.

She opened the message.

It was from an unknown number.

["Hello. We have received your resume. Please come to our company for an interview. Nora Research Institute."]

Jane Evans's eyes widened.

She couldn't believe what she was reading.

She rubbed her eyes hard.

The message was still there.

It wasn't an illusion.

Nora Research Institute had replied to her!

She was so excited she nearly jumped.

Tears welled up in her eyes again.

This time, they were tears of joy.

A neighbor auntie suddenly appeared.

"Jane, what are you doing spacing out here? I just saw your brother pass by. He looked terrible. Is everything okay at home?"

Jane Evans froze.

She quickly signed, "You saw my brother?"

The auntie nodded. "Yes. He stood there watching you for a long time. He was looking at his phone, then he stormed off angrily."

Jane Evans's heart sank.

It's over.

Her brother must have seen what happened on the Campus Network.

He went to find Jason Evans!

She immediately pulled out her phone.

While running, she texted Evelyn Ross.

["Evelyn, my brother went to find Jason Evans!"]

After sending the text, she rushed to the bus stop.

Even in this hurry, she instinctively chose the bus.

A taxi was too extravagant for her.

The bus arrived at the stop.

Jane Evans leaped off.

She sprinted toward the hospital room.

Before even entering, she heard Jason Evans' arrogant voice.

"What good is kowtowing? Your sister kowtowed ten times that day, and I still made her get lost!"

"Tell you what. Crawl between my bodyguard's legs. Then lick the floor clean. Then I might consider letting your sister off."

John Evans roared, "Jason Evans, don't go too far! I'll take this to the Clan Elder!"

Jason laughed. "The Clan Elder is my father! Do you think he'll help a mere branch family member like you?"

Jane Evans stood outside the door.

Her entire body turned cold.

This is a society with laws. How can someone still be this arrogant?

She gripped the jade pendant on her chest.

If we're talking about status, she is the true main lineage descendant!

Blood rushed to her head.

She violently pushed the hospital room door open.

...

The Nan Residence.

Evelyn Ross had just woken up.

Her phone screen was lit.

Alexander Vance spoke calmly. "John Evans and Jane Evans went to find Jason Evans."

Evelyn immediately sat up.

"Why did they go find him?"

Alexander shook his head. "They're asking for trouble."

Someone like Jason Evans doesn't reason.

Alexander handed her a coat.

They left together.

The car drove out of the community.

It suddenly slowed down.

Evelyn looked out the window.

Marcus Valentine stood by the roadside.

He was soaked through.

His face was pale.

He had stood guard all night.

Evelyn looked at him silently.

She couldn't find any words to say.
