Chapter 770 Give Up on Your Vain Hope
Hearing that, Evan raised his brow. "Oh, is that so? Great. I, too, believe that you wouldn't
harass Jenny."
"Mr. Clarke, you have a wild imagination." Alec scoffed and left, not willing to speak to him
any longer. Evan smiled at the sight and went to Jenny's office.
It was close to noon, and Jenny was done seeing all her patients scheduled in the morning.
She said, "Evan, good timing! I'm about to get off work."
"Nice. Let's have lunch together?" He beamed, and she nodded. She brought him to the
cafeteria, her attitude vastly different from when she dined with Derrick Clearwater. Evan
didn't mind cafeteria food as long as he was with Jenny.
At noon, the cafeteria was bustling with hospital staff who weren't close to Jenny but

about their relationship.
Jenny ignored the eyes on them and searched for a table with Evan. Meanwhile, Derrick
glared at the two of them. He had harbored suspicion about their relationship, and his
guess was proven right. He finally understood the reason behind Jenny's rejection-she had
chosen the other guy over him. However, he was clueless about Evan's background and
wondered if Evan was one of the members of the Ten Elites. If so, he would never stand a
chance against his rival.
The thoughts troubled him. His average background frustrated him, unlike Jenny and Evan,
who were born into wealth.
While he was ruminating and grumbling, someone appeared in front of him. "Derrick
Clearwater, why are you here alone? I thought you were going after Jenny Walter. Why is
she having lunch with another man?"
"McKenna Poole!" he hissed, knowing she was mocking him.
She smiled even brighter at his angry outburst. "You have to know your place even if you
want to be a social climber. Did you seriously think you are good enough for the Walters?"
McKenna harbored resentment toward Jenny after learning that Derrick was pursuing her
romantically. Therefore, she went to her dad and requested that he come up with an idea
to get Jenny fired. However, she decided not to pursue the idea after she learned about
Jenny's identity from her dad.
Even though Dr. Poole was a respected director of a hospital department, he was nothing
compared to the Walters. McKenna refrained from giving Jenny trouble out of fear of
implicating the Pooles. Moreover, after she learned about Jenny's family background, she
was confident that Jenny would never be interested in Derrick.

him sitting across from Jenny. She beamed when she noticed Derrick sulking in a corner-he
was gritting his teeth in silence.
She put on a fake front and comforted him, "Give up on your vain hope. Jenny Walter is
living in a world different from ours. She's working here out of passion. But what about
you? You're only here because you need to earn a living."
The difference between Jenny and Derrick was unbridgeable despite all his best efforts. He
rolled his fists begrudgingly but finally relaxed his grip after a while. "You're right."
McKenna smiled after seeing his act of resignation. "There's a good movie showing in the
theaters. Do you want to watch it tonight?"
He was surprised by her advance and looked at her quizzically. Earlier, he had attempted
to pursue her with the thought of marriage. However, she was rather aloof to him back
then. Why did she undergo such a huge change in attitude?
