Chapter 109 Karma Always Comes Around
Finished
Behind the folding screen, Yunice rose quietly to prepare the medicine. Outside, the well–dressed noblewoman leaned in close to whisper to the girl beside her. “Doesn’t it seem like Paul isn’t that into you? Could it be… he’s seeing someone else?”
The girl froze, her eyes widening in shock.
Gill, who was nearby, silently tiptoed behind the screen, her face practically spelling out ‘hot gossip‘ as she threw Yunice a conspiratorial look.
Yunice’s expression remained indifferent. She glanced sideways through the carved gap in the screen, fasting a brief look at the girl.
The girl’s face was bleak. She was clearly unhappy,
It did not take much for Yunice to guess her identity. She was probably the marriage prospect Jackson had arranged for Paul
Most likely, Paul had snuck out on this blind date without telling Elsie.
Yunice was not the least bit surprised. This outcome had been inevitable from the start.
The Powell family had never intended to marry Elsie. It was only because the Saunders family had clung Elsie had been given the illusion that she might one day become a Powell family’s bride.
on desperately that
But in fact, in the eyes of the Powell family, Elsie was nothing more than an accessory. She was nothing more than easily discarded when no longer needed. All in all, there was no difference between her and Yunice.
an item
After all, a man who could betray one heart would never stop at just one.
Yunice finished preparing the medicine, then explained the instructions through the screen before having Gill escort the girl -to pay.
Just as they were about to leave, Paul arrived.
He was not in a wheelchair today. Instead, he was supporting himself on crutches, still recovering from his injury. Every step he took must have been laced with pain.
Gill helped the girl apply the medicinal patch. The sharp, minty scent wafted through the air, causing the girl to wrinkle her nose in disdain.
Ugh. It’s so ugly I’m tearing this thing off the moment we’re out of here.
Seeing she had stopped complaining about the pain, Paul glanced over coldly and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll drive you back.”
Yunice turned away, listening as their footsteps receded into the distance.
Gill peeked outside, waiting until their car disappeared from view. Then she practically skipped back to Yunice’s side, barely containing her glee. “Ms. Saunders, did you hear that? Paul is cheating again! Elsie’s going to lose her mind when she finds out. Serves her right! Karma always comes around!”
Yunice chuckled softly. Karmal Over a man like Paul What nonsense.
But Gill was not done stirring the pot. “Ms. Saunders, should I go tell Elsie? Let them fight it out like dogs tearing at each other!”
Yunier replied lazily. “Getting involved with their mess would only dirty my hands. Don’t worry. No secret stays hidden forever. Er will find out sooner or later”
Meanwhile, in Paul’s car, the noblewoman had deliberately arranged for her daughter to sit beside him in the hackseat. But no matter how far the car drove, the atmosphere inside remained icy and silent

Thinking for a moment, she deliberately brought up, “That little clinic, shabby as it looks, really knows its stuff. My wrist

She turned to Paut Paul, you’re still nursing a leg injury. Why don’t you let Taylor put a parch on for you too?
