Chapter 537
Jayden was truly puzzled, “You’re not President Hanley’s biological mom to begin with, and he doesn’t see you as his mom. I don’t see the big deal here, why are you so worked up?”
“You think it’s not a big deal?” Dr. Dawson raised her voice emotionally, “Tve been looking after him since he was a lot. It’s been over twenty years. I’ve spent more time with him than his own parents ever did. I was the one who took him to school on his first day, I was the one by his side when he was sick. For the past twenty years, wherever he went, I was there. I’ve had no personal time because of him.”
Dr. Dawson went on a rant, and Jayden looked at her, calmly replying, “Were you forced to do all that?”
Dr. Dawson was taken aback, “You…”
Jayden continued, “I know you’re a top–notch doc, and lots of hospitals would kill to have you, but think about it, would you make more bucks working elsewhere than at President Hartley’s? You’re earning big money working for President Hartley Isn’t that fair? If you find the job too exhausting, you can quit. No one’s stopping you. I bet there are tons of people who would jump at the chance to do it.”
Dr. Dawson pointed at Jayden angrily, “You think I’ve been by President Hartley’s side all these years for the dough?”
Jayden replied, “If it’s not for the money, then it’s to pay a debt of gratitude? If it’s the latter, you should be willingly do anything for President Hartley. It doesn’t matter how he sees us. Our lives were saved by him, we would’ve been long gone if not for him.”
These words left Dr. Dawson speechless.
Jayden paused, then said, “Mom, do you know why Patricia was able to serve two generations of the Hartley family? Do you know why President Hartley respects Patricia as if she were his elder? It’s
because Patricia knows her place. Even if President Hartley treats Patricia as family, Patricia never asks for more, nor does she think that after taking care of President Hartley for so many years, he should see her as his mom.”
Dr. Dawson stared at Jayden…
Jayden added, “We are President Hartley’s employees, we do what he says. It doesn’t matter how he sees us, does it?”
Dr. Dawson fell silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, “If it wasn’t for Cornelia’s appearance, maybe everything would still be the same…”
“I think you’ve completely lost sight of your place. You thought you were the closest woman to President Hartley, and now that someone’s closer to him than you. you can’t stand it,” Every word from Jayden was like a needle, piercing into Dr. Dawson’s heart, “Mom, don’t think like this anymore, or there won’t be a place for you by President Hartley’s side”
Dr. Dawson clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.
Over at Cornelia’s.
After finishing her WhatsApp chat with Jeremy Artis, she lifted her head, only to see Zack and Abigail staring at her in surprise, “Why are you guys looking at me like
that?”
Abigail asked, “Were you chatting with Jeremy?”
Cornelia replied, “Yes.”
Again, Abigail asked, “What were you guys talking about?”
Stashing her phone behind her back, Cornelia got ready to continue sorting books, “Just small talk.”
