Chapter 24: Thrown Out

Isabella's decision to manage Jonathan's finances was based on various considerations. Skyward State is not comparable to Creek Village. She worries that Jonathan wouldn't resist the temptations here and spend money recklessly. Seeing Isabella's insistence, Jonathan reluctantly handed over his bank card, "Senior Sister, I didn't sell the Yellow Court Classic, it's hanging at my residence. This one million is from treating someone's illness." Jonathan was cunning. He only gave Isabella the bank card Mr. Ford had issued to him, keeping the one with five million to himself. "You have a place to stay?" Isabella exclaimed in surprise. "Yes, it's in Silver Snow Mountain Villa." Jonathan nodded. Ella couldn't help but snicker, "Stop boasting, Silver Snow Mountain Villa is where big shots live. Can you afford to stay there?" "Why can't I stay there? Lady, my abilities are beyond your imagination." "You! Humph, Isabella, how about we go out for a big meal tonight, using this card!" Ella suggested. Damn, this woman is ruthless. That's my emergency fund! Jonathan was heartbroken. He wouldn't mind if the money was spent by his Senior Sister, but thinking about Ella splurging with his money, it felt like a knife was twisting in his heart. "Alright, Ella, stop teasing," Isabella interjected, then turned to Jonathan, "Since you have a place to stay, stay there for now. Also, have you found a job?" Isabella didn't believe that Jonathan was staying at Silver Snow Mountain, but she knew to save face for her junior brother in front of Ella, so she didn't ask further. Jonathan shook his head, "No, I just treated an old man's illness." "I trust your medical skills. So, be at Everwell Clinic at 8 AM tomorrow. Don't be late, understand?" Isabella ordered. "What? I have to wake up early?" Jonathan was reluctant, but seeing Isabella's firm stance, he nodded, "Alright, I'll go." Isabella finally smiled, "Good boy, my good junior brother." ...... The next day, Jonathan went to Everwell Clinic after breakfast. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, the two security guards he dealt with yesterday immediately greeted him. "Jonathan, you're here. Would you like to come in and sit?" Jonathan was stunned, "What are you two up to? Are you still holding grudges about yesterday?" "No way, you're the Clinic Leader's junior brother. Even if we had the guts, we wouldn't dare." The two quickly smiled obsequiously. After a brief conversation, Jonathan understood. These two were typical bullies who preyed on the weak. Why did his senior sister hire them as security guards? However, seeing their fawning faces, Jonathan decided to let it slide. One was called Owen Zimmer, the other Charles Zimmer, they were brothers. He didn't know how their family came up with such names. Look at my name, Jonathan Cornell, the prestige of the Cornell family, it screams 'handsome guy'! The Zimmer brothers, like Jonathan, came to the big city from a village to work. Because they had martial arts training in the village, they became security guards at Everwell Clinic. Just then, a blue sports car approached from a distance. Jonathan felt it looked familiar. The next moment, Henry got out of the car. Seeing Jonathan, he immediately smiled, "What, Isabella let you become a security guard? She should have discussed it with me before finding you a job." Jonathan frowned, "What does how my Senior Sister arranges me have to do with you? What are you here for?" He could tell this guy was no good. Looking all righteous, he definitely had ulterior motives. "I'm here to see your Senior Sister. You just stand your post here." Henry scorned and entered the clinic. Jonathan turned to Owen, who was drooling over the sports car, "Who's this guy?" Owen was surprised, "Jonathan, don't you know Henry? He's the General Manager of Newman Group, the eldest grandson of the Newman family, and a famous Young Master in Skyward State!" Jonathan scoffed, "Big boss, huh? Why does he always come to our clinic? Did he catch AIDS?" "Hey, Jonathan, you can't just say whatever you want. Mr. Newman is here to see our Clinic Leader. I guess, he must have taken a liking to our Clinic Leader." After saying that, Owen chuckled and gave Jonathan a knowing look. Damn! This guy is indeed trying to hit on my Senior Sister! Jonathan had no good feelings for this guy. He was clearly a toad lusting after a swan! "What are you laughing at? Are you happy that he's pursuing my Senior Sister?" Jonathan said irritably. Owen was stunned, "Jonathan, if the Clinic Leader and Mr. Newman get together, our clinic would prosper, and you'd have a rich brother-in-law. That's a good thing!" "Good my ass! If you laugh again, I'll knock out all your teeth. By the way, what's my Senior Sister's attitude towards him?" Owen immediately covered his mouth, "The Clinic Leader doesn't seem to have any particular attitude. She hasn't accepted any of the gifts he sent, and the flowers are always left downstairs." Hearing this, Jonathan felt somewhat relieved, "Well, it seems my Senior Sister doesn't think much of this guy." That's when Charles said, "Jonathan, you seem dissatisfied with Mr. Newman. You should know, if the Clinic Leader marries Mr. Newman, you'd have endless money." "Damn! Do I look like someone who's all about money? Stand your post properly. If you dare to slack off, I'll tell my Senior Sister to fire you!" Having said that, Jonathan walked into the clinic. Damn, that Henry is a hypocrite. He better not let his Senior Sister get hurt. Meanwhile, in Isabella's office. "Isabella, I'm friends with the owner of a foreign medical company. We can get medical equipment from him at a 20% discount. Would you like me to contact him?" Henry, sitting on the sofa, asked with a smile. Isabella replied, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Newman, but our clinic doesn't need any new medical equipment at the moment." "Isabella, why can't you understand my feelings? I'm doing all this to help Everwell Clinic grow and make more money for you." "Thank you, Mr. Newman, but as far as I'm concerned, as long as I have enough money, there's no need to earn more." Then, Isabella stood up and continued, "Mr. Newman, there are a lot of things that need to be addressed in Everwell Clinic. If there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself." "Isabella, you..." Henry was frustrated. As the General Manager of Newman Group and the direct grandson of the Newman family, his future was bright. Among the younger generation, he was considered a talented individual. He never lacked women. In fact, with just a beckoning gesture, many women would willingly climb into his bed. However, after meeting Isabella, he suddenly felt that all the women he had played with before were nothing more than vulgar women with makeup. He swore that he must win over Isabella. However, after more than a month of acquaintance, Isabella had always been rejecting him, which stimulated Henry's desire to conquer. He decided to conquer Isabella, whether emotionally or physically! Thinking about this, Henry got up and grabbed Isabella's wrist, "Isabella, when will you accept me? I've been pursuing you for a month now. You should at least give me some feedback." "Mr. Newman, please behave yourself!" Isabella quickly withdrew her hand and said coldly. However, Henry didn't want to give up. This time, he directly grabbed Isabella's hand, "Isabella, I really like you. Please say yes." "Henry, let me go, or I will call for help!" "I won't let go until you agree to be my girlfriend!" "Let me go!" At that moment, the office door opened, and Jonathan walked in, glaring at Henry. Henry frowned, "Who let you in? Aren't you supposed to be standing guard outside? Get out!" He was about to succeed when this kid jumped out to cause trouble. Jonathan didn't care. He pulled Isabella behind him, "You bastard, I knew you were up to no good. Dare to bully my Senior Sister, believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" "Jonathan, this is between me and Isabella, it's none of your business. Get out of here!" Henry's face turned grim. "Go to hell with your 'none of my business.' My sister's business is my business. If anyone's leaving, it's you!" "Kid, don't think I won't touch you. Security! Security!" Just as Henry shouted a couple of times, Owen and Charles rushed in. "Mr. Newman, how may we assist you?" Henry pointed at Jonathan and said angrily, "Get him out of here!" "Escort him out!"
