Nerdy To Badass Werewolf

Joanna Jiang stared at her computer, playing a video of her client. In the video:

Lucas Fong was surrounded by a group of men making his way to a black Mercedes business van.

The well-proportioned, long-legged man in the screen was undoubtedly a captivating sight, drawing attention wherever he went.

Dressed in a formal black suit with a white shirt and tie, he exuded a mature charm and style that reflected his noble upbringing.

As Lucas Fong bent to enter the vehicle, the window rolled down.

A female reporter pushed her way through, shoving a microphone in front of Lucas Fong and rapidly firing off two questions: "Mr. Fong, hello, may I ask you two questions?"

"First, it has been revealed by insiders that you, at the age of 37, were married and divorced in your twenties, and your daughter, now 16, is in her first year of high school. Is this true? Second, you have been spotted frequently at the hospital recently. Are you ill?"

Security pulled the reporter back.

Joanna watched, holding her breath, waiting for the mans response.

Lucas Fong looked at the reporter indifferently and replied with two words: "Ill."

Clearly, his answer was directed at the second question.

"How serious is it?" The reporter pressed on.

He offered a faint smile: "My kidneys arent great."

The reporters face flushed, holding the microphone, as she watched the car drive away.

After watching the entire video, Joanna pondered, kidneys not great...

She suddenly laughed.

At that moment, her phone on the table rang. It was Bree Su.

"Did you watch the video I sent you?" Bree asked.

The video, which had not been exposed, was privately passed to her by a media friend.

"Yep, Ive seen it. Its only a 5-minute video with no substantial content. The only takeaway is that I need to make a trip to the hospital, perhaps to get in touch with Lucas Fong himself."

"Hospital??" Bree couldnt help but tease, "You think hes really sick? Im telling you, for a man of his age and wealth, having kidney issues is quite normal, probably from a chaotic private life that messed up his kidneys."

She paused, holding back laughter, and continued, "I was thinking about who his woman is, what she does, the circumstances of their first encounter, who initiated it, and what frequency led to his deteriorating kidneys over time!"

Joanna rubbed her forehead, "Lets not talk about his kidneys. Whatever is wrong with him is none of my business. Anyway, I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to understand the needs of this client before the B department does."

...

After work, Joanna shared a taxi with someone else; her car had been at the 4S shop for a week and wasnt ready yet.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building.

Joanna took the elevator upstairs and, upon exiting, was taken aback to see a man across from her. Her tone involuntarily cooled: "What are you doing here?"

This was Aaron Jiangs first visit after getting married.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood tall, frowning, "This is my home. Cant I come back? Hmm? Is this not my home?"

He stepped forward, grabbing her.

"Let go!" Joanna tried to pull her hand away, her eyes glaring at him in disgust, "This is no longer your home!"

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again, and a person stepped out.

The three of them stood frozen.

Cindy Tong stared at Joanna with disgust, her pink lips opening and closing as she warned, "Please stop entangling with my husband!"

Joanna found the words incredibly ironic!

If it werent for Aaron Jiang marrying Cindy Tong, she wouldnt have known about Cindys existence. Even though this woman was the eldest daughter of the chairman of the board.

Cindy had lived in Shenzhen since high school and never returned to Bluetown until a month before her wedding.

Joanna vividly remembered how Aaron Jiang explained to her a week after his honeymoon: Marrying Cindy, I can at least work twenty years less.

He also said, Wait for me, wait until I divorce.

"Aaron Jiang, if your wife hears this, she will set your life back by at least twenty years. Please get out of my sight!"

"How should I roll?"

He asked, seemingly laughing, provocatively smiling at her.

Her heart was about to be shattered by his smile, forcibly holding back tears from falling.

She considered herself not stupid, but Aaron Jiang, the adopted son of the Jiang family, and the man she had loved for years, balanced on two boats so steadily that she didnt sense any wind before the sudden rain.

Who could really be like nothing happened in such a situation?

The stronger Joanna appeared on the surface, the more aggrieved she felt inside. When Aaron got engaged, she was in a daze, thinking it was a prank.

Even today, she couldnt free herself from the suffocating whirlpool.

The first time Aaron brought Cindy home for dinner after marriage, Joanna didnt sit at the table. She half-slept, half-insomnia until dawn, without eating or drinking, and went straight to work after cleaning up.

The hot summer days were scorching like fire.

Joanna had planned to go to the hospital, but the taxis seemed to be against her, none were available, and the few occupied ones she asked were not going her way, so she couldnt even share a ride.
