Chapter 23 The crowd immediately took Jennifer's side , hurling accusations at Yesenia . " How can someone so young be this cruel ? What a waste of a pretty face . " " We just can't judge a book by its cover . Having a good look doesn't mean anything . She'll reap what she sows . " " Even a pet would show gratitude after being raised for so long . She's ungrateful . " " Imagine her own children treating her this way someday ! " Two elderly women even blocked Yesenia's path , righteousness burning in their eyes . " Young lady , this isn't how decent people behave . She raised you . That counts more than blood ! " " Exactly ! Apologize to your adoptive mother and her daughter right now ! " Cornered , Yesenia turned around . Jennifer stood triumphantly , hands on hips . " You ungrateful wretch , now what ? " Yesenia laughed coldly , " Your daughter got exposed for plagiarism , and that's my fault ? Did I force her to steal my designs ? " Save your gratitude speeches . The Carsons did nothing but keep me 07.20 Chapter23 breathing while your daughter was living like a princess with my actual family . " As she spoke , Yesenia smiled , her eyes filled with undisguised mockery . 1288 ( Vouchers " Speaking of which , your daughter lives a much better life at my house than at yours . Otherwise , she wouldn't still be reluctant to leave my family . Mrs. Carson , you're so protective of your daughter . But does she dare call you ' Mom ' in public ? " Every word cut Jennifer deep . Jennifer stood dumbstruck . Since when had this wretched girl become so sharp - tongued ? Sylvia had warned about Yesenia's transformation , but Jennifer never took it seriously . Those two years away had really changed her a lot . Jennifer retorted in outrage , " That's because my daughter is caring and sensible ! Even without blood ties , she deeply cares for her adoptive parents . " " Oh … " Yesenia raised an eyebrow , stalling with a sarcastic tone . " Her adoptive parents raised her with care , so she cares about them but not her biological parents . By that logic , if my adoptive parents hadn't cared for me , why on earth would I feel obligated to care for them ? " " You … " Jennifer felt a suffocating wave of anger rising inside her . The bystanders who had been criticizing Yesenia now finally grasped the situation . It wasn't the young lady who was being heartless , but this foster mother 07:20 Chapter23 11 265 Vouchers who wasn't doing her job properly .

" Ma'am , you're completely in the wrong here , " one woman scolded . " Instead of properly raising your child , you blame her for everything ? The fruit never falls far from the tree . You should examine your own behavior first ! " Jennifer's eyes bulged . After spending a fortune on beauty maintenance , these women actually called her " Ma'am " ? Despite her decade of wealth , Jennifer's vicious temper surfaced instantly . " This is my family business . It's none of your concern ! Go mind your own business ! " she shrieked . The women , battle - hardened from years of public disputes , immediately recognized Jennifer's true nature . " You asked for our opinion , ma'am , and now you deny it ? No wonder neither your biological nor adopted daughter wants anything to do with you . You deserve it ! " they retorted . To Yesenia , they said kindly , " Go ahead , young lady . We'll handle Chapter23 1288 ( Vouchers this . " Yesenia nodded gratefully . " Thank you . " As the crowd surrounded the fuming Jennifer , Yesenia strode away unhindered . Yesenia slipped into the women's restroom and reemerged ninety seconds later , now clad in a black long - sleeved shirt , matching face mask , and a baseball cap that revealed only her piercing eyes . She took the elevator to the director's office , entering unannounced . Startled , the director gaped as Yesenia lowered her voice to a husky whisper , " I'm Wren Serrano . I need to speak with Dr. Chaney about a collaboration . " Ten minutes later , all the doctors from the Nephrology Department had gathered in the director's office .

" The remaining 10 % involved preexisting genetic conditions in test subjects , not experimental error . " The critic fell silent , unable to counter .
