Chapter 312
When Max overheard the conversation between his boss and Nicole, he pretended to look back
inadvertently. He was shocked when he saw Jared looking down and fiddling with something in his
hands.
Nicole also saw the thing in Jared’s hand-it was a glinting dagger. She immediately recognized it as the
dagger he had held in Nottingbrook State, only that this time he did not sheathe it.
The narrow-bladed dagger spun in Jared’s shapely hand. It looked cool, but Nicole could not help but
frown. She gently put her hand to Jared’s hand, which was fiddling with the dagger, and looked him in
the eyes. “Stop,” she said. Jared also looked her in the eyes, and his eyes lit up when he saw her

Max, who was behind the wheel, saw what had happened and was in fright. Jared would play with
something in his hand when he was in a black mood, and he would fiddle with the dagger when his
mood was extremely terrible. So no one dared to talk to him at the moment like this.
With this thought in mind, Max looked at Nicole with surprise. As she could calm the angry lion, this
really opened his eyes.
Nicole watched with relief as Jared lowered the dagger in his hand. After dropping Nicole back at
school, Jared rolled down the car window and looked out at the scenery outside. The early fall wind
gushed into the cabin, and it felt unusually chilly, but Jared was unruffled. He rested his chin on his
hand and looked out of the window into the infinity.
Max looked at Jared and frowned disapprovingly. When Nicole was with Jared, he seemed to be afraid
that she would feel cold and would almost never open the window. But now that Nicole had left, the
only person who could restrain him was no longer there. Max sighed silently at the thought of this.
“Continue where we left off.” Jared suddenly spoke with a steep, frosty voice. Recalling his discussion
with Jared before Nicole came into the car, Max continued the topic with no hesitation, talking about
what Michael had done over the years, one worse than the other, and it seemed that after half a year in
office, the incidence rate at San Joto Central Hospital had more than doubled.
Michael had been conscientious and worked hard for the first half of the year, but when he found what
benefits his position could bring him, he gradually lowered his code of ethics and revealed his actual
desires. It seemed that what was presented before was only a show. Max tightened his grip on the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsteering wheel as he talked about Michael’s evil deeds since taking office.
Michael was such an unscrupulous man. He put money over everything else. He would ask the worst
doctors in the hospital to treat those patients who were less wealthy, probably thinking
that the patients could not do much about it even if something wrong were to happen.

He had never gone on duty, and his favorite pastime was eating, drinking, gambling, and womanizing.
Not only that, he often targeted the beautiful female doctors and nurses in the hospital who had no
background. If they did not comply, he would threaten to fire them and stop them from finding jobs in all
hospitals in San Joto hospital. He had become a monster.
Jared had a stern look in his eyes upon hearing this. No wonder Michael dared to disobey him last
time. There was no reason to keep such a person any longer.
