Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: The Way to Slap His Face is Always So Unique_1 Chapter 1251 -1251: The Way to Slap His Face is Always So Unique_1 “Also, based on your description, the person is badly injured.

If that were the case, I would be in the operating room right now.

And, we have indeed not admitted any patients with such serious injuries this morning,” the doctor said.

“How about this, give me the name of the patient, and I’ll search it in the system,” the doctor said.

“Joshua Clarke.” Adam Zahn carefully enunciated each word.

“Yes, we do have a patient by that name,” the doctor confirmed, “But he didn’t have a car accident.

He just had a panic attack and low blood sugar, came here for glucose, and the family has arranged a day’s admission.”

“I see, that sets our minds at ease.

...

He is Adrian’s father-in-law.

But Adrian is currently in a meeting and can’t step away, so he asked me to check up on the situation,” Adam Zahn casually explained.

“No problem.”

After hanging up, Adam Zahn relayed what the doctor said to Adrian Zhekova.

Adrian Zhekova sent a reply to Cindy Clarke immediately: “So, you don’t need to worry.

At the same time, I have already sent people to the hospital to check the specifics, to see what they are actually up to.”

Cindy Clarke was reassured, confirming her earlier suspicion.

This was just an excuse to trick her into going back.

As for what they planned to do with her after tricking her back, Cindy Clarke had no idea.

The timing was too coincidental, just before the competition, just when Morgan Zhekova felt in danger.

What had Wendy Clarke intended to do?

Did she plan to sabotage her competition and cause harm to her?

Even if Cindy Clarke didn’t go to the competition, someone else would fill in.

Everyone was competitive; her absence wouldn’t matter.

Was Wenday Clarke simply trying to deny her this opportunity?

But even if Wendy Clarke were a fool, she should know that even without this chance, Cindy Clarke would have many other chances.

Or could it be that hindering her from the competition would negatively impact Adrian Zhekova?

Cindy Clarke frowned, unable to figure it out herself.

It would be simpler to ask: “If I am unable to participate in today’s competition, would it affect you in any way?”

“Me?” Adrian Zhekova was taken aback by her question.

“What impact would it have on me?”

Adrian Zhekova mused for a while, and suddenly remembered: “Wendy Clarke hasn’t had a fallout with Ethan Zhekova yet.”

“Not yet?” After Cindy Clarke had tricked Wendy Clarke previously, she ceased following Ethan’s and Wendy’s matters.

Though she seldom bumped into them, spending time around the Zhekova Family gave her a certain level of understanding about Ethan.

Given that Ethan was a face-saving man, Wendy’s actions were akin to slapping him in the face; could Ethan still bear with it?

She had never realized that Ethan could be so forbearing.

“They’re currently partners; only occasionally…” Adrian Zhekova was too embarrassed to go into specifics with Cindy Clarke.

But Cindy Clarke understood the implications.

Ethan indeed was disillusioned with Wendy Clarke, had no plans for a long-term sustainable relationship, nor any intentions of developing anything with her.

Evidently, Ethan had been willing to play the charade previously.

But Wendy’s slap in the face stripped him of the willingness, even for pretense.

And stated bluntly their relationship was merely a professional one.

However, the two of them spent a considerable amount of time together scheming against others, and Wendy was restless.

Why wouldn’t Ethan enjoy the convenience, knowing she offered it willingly?

Therefore, occasionally they would have a no-strings-attached relationship.

Cindy recalled: “You mentioned before that Ethan was getting close with Wendy to harm you, intending to use her to hurt me, thus countering you.”

According to Cindy, it’s no wonder that Ethan never made any significant stride despite his lofty self-perception.

If Ethan were truly capable, he would have achieved similar success as Lyke Zhekova and Samson Zhekova by now.

Up till now, Ethan had not surpassed either of them.

He consistently blamed Adrian Zhekova for thwarting his success and Gabriel Zhekova for blocking his path.

In reality, his limited capabilities were his undoing.

His arrogance blinded him to his shortcomings, including his lack of ability.

He wouldn’t hard confront Adrian even if he intended to take him down.

Or maybe he was aware that a face-to-face confrontation wouldn’t make him Adrian’s match, hence he resorted to such roundabout tactics.

But not being Adrian’s match, Ethan refused to acknowledge.

Believing he was clever, he convinced himself that such roundabout tactics were profound.

He took a circuitous route, even thought to attack Adrian through her of all people.

How pitiful it is, always looking for a chance through her.

Even resorting to dirty tricks, he dared not directly target Adrian.

“So, this time when Wendy suddenly chose this moment to trick me over, is it also for the same reason?” Cindy Clarke asked in confusion, “Although I can’t understand why.

Even if I don’t participate in the competition, it would only result in short-term loss for me.

How would it harm you?

I can’t figure it out, that’s why I didn’t consider him at all.”

Not only was Cindy Clarke puzzled, Adrian Zhekova was also caught off guard by the sudden question.

No one could understand a fool’s logic.

They just weren’t on the same wavelength and couldn’t comprehend each other.

Adrian’s fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk, not quite sure as he said, “Could it be that they think if you miss the competition, they can generate a scandal, deem your culinary skills as below par, and claim you were forcibly pushed into Pingla.

Could they think that they can embarrass me, make people believe I abused Pingla’s resources to make you famous?

Maybe they think they can use this point to hit me and create distrust within the company and the family?”

Adrian’s voice lacked the usually high level of confidence he exuded, as he was unsure if his analysis was correct.

Who would come up with such a ridiculous plan!

But when applied to Ethan, Adrian felt that it might not be entirely impossible.

Every time he thought no one could be this stupid, Ethan managed to prove him wrong with his actions.

Ethan always had a unique way of slapping him in the face.

It was the first time Cindy Clarke had seen a lack of confidence from Adrian Zhekova.

From the moment she knew him, no matter what happened, Adrian was always able to analyze with precision and emanate confidence from the depth of his heart.

For Ethan to throw Adrian Zhekova off guard was indeed a formidable ability.

Cindy wondered whether Ethan himself knew he had this capability.

Cindy Clarke definitely did not understand Ethan as thoroughly as Adrian did.

If Adrian himself was unsure, Cindy was even more uncertain.

At that moment, a man suddenly rushed towards their car.

Cindy Clarke had left early, so they were already out of the city.

While the city center was experiencing traffic congestion, there were hardly any cars in her area.

Not only were there few cars on the road, but also very few pedestrians.

Now, someone suddenly sprang out; it was too deliberate to be a coincidence.

Cleave Roland was quick to react and immediately steered in a different direction.

Luckily, there were no other cars on the road, or else Cleave Roland wouldn’t have been able to keep calm.

The sudden swerve startled Cindy Clarke, making her flustered.

She quickly grabbed the back of the front seat.

The little one also exclaimed in surprise, tightly gripping the armrest to stabilize himself.
