Chapter 195
Jane laughed again, the mockery in her tone even more obvious now. She said dismissively, "It's just five billion. Who are you looking down on?"

"Just five billion? You say it so easily. Do you even know how much five billion is? If you really have it, show us!"

Emma wouldn't let it go, convinced that Jane didn't have the money.

Jane let out a cold laugh. Why was she wasting her time here with a bunch of people who couldn't understand plain language?

"Can't produce it, can you? Making such big claims - aren't you afraid of biting off your own tongue?"

Emma mocked coldly.

The other Watson Family members laughed along, ridiculing Jane for overestimating herself.

However, before their laughter had even died down, the hospital room door suddenly swung open. A white-bearded old man in a white coat stood in the doorway, saying impatiently, "What's all this noise? This is a hospital. You're seriously disturbing our patients."

The speaker was none other than Dean Moore, the hospital director, who was also an old friend of the Smith Family.

He scanned everyone present, first spotting John Smith and Grandpa Smith. He looked surprised for a moment, his tone softening a bit: "John, old Smith, you're here too."

John nodded slightly.

The dean then noticed Jane and was surprised again: "Miss Watson, you're here too?"

"Yeah." Jane responded. "My grandpa's in the hospital, so I came to check on him."

"Grandpa Watson is your grandfather?" Dean Moore looked surprised for a moment, then walked to the bedside. While examining the old man, he said, "Old sir, really, since you're Miss Watson's grandfather, why be so low-key? You should have said something earlier."

Instantly, everyone in the room was shocked.

What was going on with this old dean? Hadn't he always ignored status and treated everyone equally? Why did his tone suggest he knew Jane well?

And he seemed to respect Jane quite a bit?

Grandpa Watson and Grandpa Smith exchanged glances. Finally, Grandpa Smith spoke up first: "Moore, you know our Jane?"

"Of course. Thanks to Miss Watson, our hospital would have gone under."

"What happened?"

"Hmph!" Moore huffed rather proudly, looking at Grandpa Smith with what seemed like complaint: "It's all because of your Smith Family's wonderful daughter-in-law.

A while back, the hospital needed a batch of imported equipment, plus our inpatient building was getting old and I wanted to renovate it. So I went to your Smith Corporation to talk to John, to see if he could donate some money to us.

But I never expected that before I could even see John, your daughter-in-law kicked me out and gave me a good mocking too.

Later, with no other options, I went to Miss Watson. Miss Watson, in her personal capacity, took out one billion from her personal account and donated it to our hospital. That's what allowed our hospital to keep running normally."

At this point, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Jane: "Wait, Miss Watson, with you in the family, does the old man even need to stay in our hospital? You alone are worth more than our entire..." hospital.

But before he could finish, Jane quickly shot him a look.

Though he didn't understand why, he stopped talking. After completing his examination, he said to Grandpa Watson: "Old sir, you're fine. Rest well and you can be discharged soon. Of course, you could leave now if you want - after all, with your precious granddaughter around, everything will be fine."

Instantly, everyone turned to look at Jane.

Jane was speechless. How could she have never known that Dean Moore was such a chatterbox? With what he'd just said, even if she could hide it from everyone else, she couldn't hide it from John. Her cover was probably blown.

Grandpa Smith hadn't forgotten how these people had mocked Jane earlier. He said bluntly: "Didn't you say our Jane had no money? Our Jane can easily produce one billion. I don't think even you, Patrick, can manage that, can you?"

Patrick was instantly speechless.

Emma was also shocked, looking at Jane in disbelief. She actually had that much money?

She had casually donated one billion to the hospital.

Forget about her, Emma - even Patrick, the current head of Watson & Associates, only had tens of millions in liquid funds in his personal account, not even reaching nine figures.

Yet Jane could donate one billion to the hospital, which meant her personal assets were several times that amount.

The harder she had mocked before, the more her face hurt now.

It seemed Jane really did have money, and lots of it.

No wonder she didn't care about that twenty percent stake.

Anna was also burning with jealousy. How could that bitch Jane possibly have so much money? How could she be richer than Anna?

But she had no choice but to believe it.

She remembered how Jane had easily produced a black card before. That black card was a symbol of status.

She had suspected at the time that it was a card John had given her, but then she had seen the name on the card - it wasn't John's, but Jane's own name.

In an instant, all the Watson Family members fell silent.

John looked at Jane, his deep gaze probing. She could actually donate one billion to the hospital. Logically speaking, she was just a project manager - how could she possibly have such wealth?

Yet she had done it.

At this moment, he suddenly felt he had never truly understood this woman.

Especially just now, what the old dean had said was even stranger.

From the dean's tone, Jane's medical skills must be quite impressive, far surpassing the old dean himself.

Was it really just as she had said, that she'd picked it up from watching Ellen?

He thought that was unlikely.

In any case, this woman had too many secrets - so many that they surprised him.

The three old men were also shocked beyond belief, looking at each other for a long while. But more than shock, they felt gratified.

Grandpa Smith: "Looks like our Jane is even more capable than we imagined."

Grandpa Watson also smiled: "Isn't that the truth? I was worried Jane would be bullied, so I insisted on giving her shares, wanting her to have something to rely on. Turns out my granddaughter doesn't care about that at all."
