Chapter 310 What Was He Planning to Do
Jennifer was caught off guard when she heard Timothy crack a joke.
With a smile, she said, “I didn’t think you knew how to joke around.”

Timothy gently covered her eyes with his hand. “Go to sleep.”
Jennifer pressed her lips together, thinking, “It’s not like this relationship between us will last.
We might as well just go with the flow for now.”
Though she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, she drifted off quickly.
Timothy, however, stayed wide awake. He looked down at the person in his arms, carefully adjusting his position so as not to wake her.
When Jennifer woke up the next morning, Timothy was already
gone.
She admired his self–discipline. Rain or shine, Timothy always stuck to his rehab exercises every morning without fail.

After a while, Timothy wheeled himself over to her. “Have you stared enough?”
Jennifer blushed faintly. “What? Am I not allowed to look?”
Timothy didn’t say anything. He simply handed her a bottle of
water.
Jennifer stopped running, feeling a bit winded.
Timothy gave her a once–over. “Your stamina is terrible.”
“I know. I’ve always wanted to learn some self–defense, but I never had the time before.”

Vivian praised Jennifer’s design in front of the class, going over her sketches in detail.
Jennifer became the center of attention, the object of envy.
Meanwhile, Sarah, sitting in the back, was seething with jealousy. She sneered, “So what if she won an award? Don’t forget. Mrs. Millie Clark slaps her in front of everyone.”
Her words sparked a flurry of gossip.
“Really? That can’t be true, right?”
“No way. Even if they don’t get along, slapping someone in public is a bit much.”
Sarah, brimming with smugness, said, “I saw it with my own eyes. Jennifer’s part of the Clark family, and Mrs. Millie Clark can’t stand her flaunting herself around. She’s already left the studio.”
Chapter 310 What Was He Planning to Do Sarah had been so elated when she learned the news that she couldn’t sleep a wink that night.

“Jennifer’s finally getting what she deserves. That wretched woman won’t have a chance to gloat anymore,” Sarah thought gleefully.
Jennifer overheard their conversation and turned to glance at Sarah. “I just wanted to focus on my studies. After all, I still have my thesis to work on. Staying at the studio would’ve only held my mentor back.”
“Oh, spare me. Everyone knows you left because Mrs. Millie Clark slapped you,” Sarah shot back, eyes brimming with glee.
She had been delighted to see Jennifer get slapped. Now that the opportunity had arisen, she wasn’t going to let it slide.
Sarah imagined Jennifer crying her eyes out the night before.
At that moment, all eyes in the room turned to Jennifer. Their gazes carried a mix of schadenfreude and curiosity.
