Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 47: How Could Sabrina Have Such Connections?

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: How Could Sabrina Have Such Connections?

Sabrina was also somewhat surprised, but she approached with a smile and said, "Elder Yates, you’re discharged?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Elder Yates smiled kindly and nodded, "Yes, I was discharged this morning. I originally wanted to say goodbye to you all, but you and that young man from The Sheffield Family were busy. Coincidentally, I heard you would be here tonight, so I came specially to see you."

Sabrina nodded and inquired with concern, "How’s your leg recovering? Does it still hurt?"

She had been so preoccupied with visiting the military compound that she hadn’t had time to check in, and now, out of professional instinct, she was asking a series of questions.

Elder Yates answered truthfully, "It doesn’t hurt. The medicine you used is effective. I feel I’m recovering better each day, and soon, I reckon I’ll be able to climb up to the fifth floor in one go."

Sabrina was instantly amused.

As the two talked amicably, the guests nearby were dumbfounded.

Rumor had it that Elder Yates was someone who valued discipline highly, with a stern and old-fashioned disposition.

The few who had met him believed he was serious and imposing.

Even while approaching him to greet, they felt apprehensive inside.

But such a prominent figure was now kindly chatting and laughing with the ’Mrs. Hawthorne’ whom people criticized and looked down upon?

His demeanor unexpectedly brimmed with respect and appreciation!!!

The guests were shocked, and not far away, Jordan Hawthorne and his companions were also taken aback.

Especially Brooke, who simply couldn’t believe it.

What kind of figure was Elder Yates???

When he was young, he had countless accolades, even retiring injured, he still wielded considerable influence in the military.

Ordinarily, it was difficult for others to even glimpse him.

Yet now, here he was, on equal footing, chatting and laughing with Sabrina.

How could Sabrina have possibly made such formidable connections!!!

As Brooke struggled to accept this, Elder Yates was beckoning his granddaughter over, saying, "Poppy, come meet Dr. Nash, she’s the one who healed your grandfather’s leg. You haven’t been neglecting her tonight, have you?"

Poppy had been a bit shocked since earlier.

At home, her grandfather was still intimidating, even without being as stern as he was outside.

His educational discipline towards the younger family members was strict.

Occasionally, he would show a kind expression, but rarely, and never as appreciative and gentle as he was now with a young person!

Poppy finally ceased her disregard for Sabrina.

With a solemn expression, she said, "So you’re Dr. Nash! My grandpa and my parents have mentioned you before. I’ve always wanted to meet you, but I’ve been out of town and couldn’t come back... I didn’t expect we’d meet here in this way! My apologies for my earlier neglect of you, and thank you so much for treating my grandfather!"

Sabrina was unperturbed by her sudden change in attitude.

Regarding business, she understood.

"Miss Yates, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to treat the elder."

She responded with a smile.

Poppy’s goodwill towards her significantly increased upon hearing this.

Especially when she noticed that Sabrina was neither arrogant nor using this opportunity to claim credit, she admired her even more.

Just now, how could she have been so dismissive!!!

Poppy immediately declared, "Regarding the proposal from earlier, I will definitely review it carefully when I return. If there are any issues, I’ll promptly communicate with Dr. Nash. I believe we can indeed work happily together!"

The implication was... she was planning to collaborate with Sabrina.

Sabrina was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit delighted inside, but outwardly she remained composed, saying, "Then I await good news from Miss Yates!"

Brooke nearly contorted her facial features upon hearing this.

She had put so much effort, even sacrificing profit, to secure this opportunity, only for Sabrina to swoop in and take it???

This vile woman!!!

She was so enraged that her face turned grim.

Yet, neither Poppy nor Sabrina noticed her at all.

The two were happily engrossed in conversation.

During their chat, Poppy playfully reproached Elder Yates, "Grandpa, seriously, since you knew Dr. Nash would be here, you could have called me beforehand so I could properly host her!"

Elder Yates chuckled, "That’s my oversight, but forming a friendship with Dr. Nash is your blessing. Promise not to neglect her again, alright?"

Towards Sabrina, Elder Yates initially might have regarded her as a junior.

But after learning of her ’outstanding achievements’ at the military compound, his perspective changed.

The young woman before him was praised even by superior leaders.

She might even be recruited into the military, serving the nation.

Her future is boundless!

Poppy sensed the seriousness implied in her grandfather’s tone, and her heart trembled, "Don’t worry, Grandpa, I definitely won’t do that again!"

Sabrina smiled warmly, "Elder Yates, you flatter me!"

As the three conversed, Josee Sheffield, having enjoyed the show, leisurely sauntered over and remarked, "Thank you, Eldest Miss Yates, for being willing to cooperate with our company. It’s a good thing the elder arrived in time to save your eyesight, or I would have had to send you to the hospital for a check-up."

This comment was somewhat cheeky.

But it wasn’t hard to discern it was spoken to someone familiar.

Upon seeing him, Poppy immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance, "What are you up to? You brought Dr. Nash here, yet you deliberately stayed out of sight to trick me?"

Her slight irritation was coupled with a silent self-reproach for not scrutinizing the company name on the contract earlier.

If she had, she would have discovered the clue and naturally wouldn’t have treated Miracle Doctor Nash with such an attitude!

Josee just smiled without speaking.

He didn’t intend to play Poppy, but had other motives.

He casually gazed towards Jordan, not far away...

Currently, Jordan’s expression was anything but pleasant.

He had watched the entire exchange and clearly saw The Yates Family’s attitude towards Sabrina.

This woman... when did she make connections with The Yates Family?

He was completely unaware!

Seeing him drink coldly, Brooke quickly came over to reconcile, acting coy, "Jordan, I’m sorry, the cooperation didn’t work out, it was my miscalculation. I didn’t expect Sabrina to know Elder Yates... Why didn’t she mention it earlier? Such an important opportunity, she should have helped the Hawthorne Group, but instead she took it for The Sheffield Group...

My hard work preparing the plan is not what bothers me, but her actions were publicly undermining you."

Jordan’s expression was cold and stern, a frustration he couldn’t quite express.

"Since there’s no deal, there’s no reason to stay."

With these words, he set down his glass and walked away.

Brooke was anxious upon seeing this.

Originally, she intended to use this project to show Jordan she was more important than Sabrina.

But reality caught her off guard.

Now, the man didn’t even offer her a word of comfort, something unprecedented!

Yet, she couldn’t find any words to persuade him to stay...

Since the project was secured, Sabrina didn’t intend to linger. After chatting with Elder Yates for a while, she proposed to leave.

"My daughter is still at home, I need to go back to take care of her. I hope Elder Yates and Miss Yates don’t mind."

Elder Yates obviously didn’t.

Nor did Poppy say anything.

Josee then spoke up, "I’ll have Flynn drive you!"

"Alright."

Sabrina didn’t refuse.

After she left, Elder Yates, due to his unhealed leg and limited energy, soon departed as well.

The cocktail party finally resumed its normalcy.

However, the guests were unable to snap out of the events that had just unfolded for a long time.

After all, who could have imagined that the person initially looked down upon would eventually demonstrate astounding connections?

Who said Mrs. Hawthorne was a dowdy housewife???

Rumors are truly damaging!!!

Apart from feeling emotional, some couldn’t help but glance at Brooke, their eyes carrying a somewhat different meaning!

They accused her of using stolen invitations, but she actually had a Purple Gold Card and was even honored as a VIP by Elder Yates.

And Brooke, at first, was clinging to President Hawthorne’s arm, putting on a righteous facade.

Could these two... really have a thing going on?
