Chapter 93: Just How Shameless Amber Can Be
The next day.
After Tina finished her breakfast, she prepared to visit the Fanning family first to treat Shonna. As she arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, she saw Jared. Today, Nathan wasn't with him; he was alone. Seeing Tina come out, Jared stepped forward. "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Isn't your second period gym class?" Tina asked, puzzled.
Originally, the first period yesterday afternoon was supposed to be gym class, but since Tina had to treat Shonna, Jared accompanied her and moved his gym class to today.
"The students are very resistant to gym class; we'll just have it next week." After the students of class 22D fully entered their study mode, they didn't want to attend gym class at all. They would rather spend all their time on their studies. Yesterday, a gym class was forcibly scheduled, and everyone's face showed a hint of resentment. When they heard that the gym class was moved to today, they were all happy again.
Jared thought for a moment and then rescheduled the class.
Tina, "..."
Were they the two who got their salaries in the most relaxed manner?
She suddenly felt a bit guilty about her salary; what was that about?
Tina didn't say anything more and got into the car. She sat in the passenger seat, and Jared, who got in before her, fastened her seatbelt. His face was close to hers, and he had a faint, pleasant scent. His long fingers accidentally touched Tina's hand, and inexplicably, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"You can sleep a bit more; I'll wake you when we arrive," Jared's voice was pleasant, like a solo melody.
Tina's eyes, which had been cast down, lifted slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice. She nodded, "Hmm."
She closed her eyes, suppressing the commotion she had just felt. She didn't really want to sleep, but the atmosphere in the car made her uncomfortable. She didn't have any feelings for Jared, but whenever they were alone, there was always an unclear sentiment. This feeling was strange; she clearly wasn't familiar with Jared, but she felt déjà vu around him, and in his presence, her heart could inexplicably find peace.
The two of them didn't speak again on the way.
The car stopped at the front gate of the Fanning family's villa, which was open. The nanny wasn't outside.
As Tina and Jared entered, they heard a furious reprimand, "You still have the face to come here? My daughter almost died because of you, and I haven't come to settle the account with you yet, and you dare to come to us? Get out immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The voice belonged to Beatrice.
Tina and Jared exchanged glances and stepped back wisely, standing at the entrance without going in.
Then, another voice came from inside, "Mrs. Woodham, I kindly came to help Miss Woodham, is this the attitude you have? It was you who asked me to come to treat her, and now what? After the treatment, you turn your face and refuse to acknowledge me?"
Amber, despite usually pretending to have a good temper, was also a bit angry now, and she questioned Beatrice with an unsightly face.
"Don't force me to lay hands on you," Beatrice's voice was heavy, "If it weren't for not wanting to affect Shonna's treatment, I would have gone to your house to confront you yesterday. And now you dare to question me?"

"I really didn't expect you to be such a person, Mrs. Woodham. You cross the river and demolish the bridge. I treated Miss Woodham without asking for any repayment from you. It's fine if you're not grateful, but to insult me? If you continue like this, I might have to post this matter online for everyone to see what kind of people you are!"
She was truly angry! Since yesterday, when Beatrice hadn't called her again, she had been panicking, afraid that something would happen to Shonna and the Fanning family would blame her. So, she specially took a leave today to come over and check on Shonna's condition.
But as soon as she arrived, Beatrice started scolding her; how could she not be angry?
"Pooh!" Before Beatrice could speak, Yang Ma, who had followed Mrs. Fanning, couldn't help it and cursed, "You were raised in Elizabeth's house for a few years; how can you be so shameless? My Miss Shonna took your medicine, had a high fever for three days and kept vomiting. Miss Beatrice called you so many times to come and take a look, but you just wouldn't come, and eventually, you even stopped answering the calls."
"Do you know that Miss Shonna almost died? If it weren't for Miss Tina saving her, you would have been arrested by the police by now!"
"I, Tina?" Amber was taken aback for a moment, then let out a scornful laugh, "I see. So you think because I'm an adopted daughter and not as prestigious as Tina, you're helping Tina to steal my credit?"
Beatrice and Yang Ma widened their eyes, incredulous. They couldn't imagine someone could be so shameless. Amber had clearly done something wrong, nearly causing a death, yet she was blaming Tina for stealing her credit? What kind of person was this?
Outside, Tina and Jared, "..."
Amber was truly Miss Ensford! Such a mind was not something ordinary people could compare with. Her ability to twist right and wrong was top-notch.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Beatrice finally roared, unable to restrain her anger, "You prescribed the wrong medicine, nearly killing my daughter, and you still lied that you cured Miss Farrell. You're not remorseful and instead shamelessly blame us? You're simply infuriating!"
"Isn't that the case?" Amber sneered, "The prescription I wrote was from my master, Dr. Ward, and there was nothing wrong with it. Fever and vomiting are normal reactions; it will be fine after a while. You brought in Tina to treat her at this time, isn't that just stealing my credit?" "You..."
Beatrice was about to speak when Amber interrupted her, "Furthermore, I never deceived you into thinking I cured Miss Farrell. There was a misunderstanding at the birthday banquet, but it was all cleared up later. You left early and didn't know what happened afterward, but many people are aware of it. You didn't ask, so I thought you knew, and I didn't explain further. How can you blame me for this?"
"You're simply..." Beatrice was so angry she didn't know what to say.
Actually, this was indeed her mistake. She had heard that Amber had cured Jared and hurriedly brought Shonna over for treatment. She hadn't heard about the incident afterward and had just believed Amber. Now that Amber's words seemed reasonable, Beatrice, who had lived so many years, couldn't find the words to refute.
"This matter must be settled, otherwise, I won't let it go," Amber said coldly.
Beatrice felt blood rushing to her head. If they really got into the details, Amber's words still held some ground. Was there really nothing they could do about Amber?
At that moment, Mrs. Fanning's voice came from outside, "Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell, why don't you come in?"
Mrs. Fanning had been out for her morning exercise and upon returning, saw Tina and Jared standing at the entrance with unhappy faces.
Mrs. Fanning invited Tina and Jared into the house, and upon seeing Amber, she was taken aback, then her face darkened. She was about to vent her anger when Amber stepped forward, furiously addressing Tina, "Tina, how have I offended you? Why are you treating me this way? Why do you want to steal my credit?"
