Lea went directly to the director’s office of Riverview Hospital, where Lorrand was already waiting for her at the door. 

This office was exclusively used by Lorrand, and it was empty at the moment. As soon as they entered, he closed the door behind them. 

Lea did not want to be noticed by Matilda and Fraley Hospital, so her movements within the hospital were almost entirely secret, known only to Alfred, Chris, Charles, and a few others. 

Lorrand immediately reported to her. The nephrologists gathered in the specialty office early this morning to discuss the surgery plan, but most of their opinions can be disregarded” 

He 

then placed the documents in front of her. “Miss Berry, what do you think about this surgery now?” 

Lea asked. “What is Fraley Hospital’s reaction at the moment” 

Lorrand was taken aback. After Peter and his team were thrown out yesterday afternoon, they had not been concerned about them anymore 

The hospital had been extremely busy, and he had only slept for less than five hours the previous night. 

For a senior surgeon, this was insufficient to ensure his physical condition for performing such a high–level surgery. Lorrand could only manage the coordination, barely keeping the hospital’s operations running. 

However, he should have been paying attention. 

Given the severity of Donna’s case, Fraley Hospital would go to any lengths to defend its reputation and retaliate. 

The Fraley Hospital would surely use her current condition to undermine them. 

Considering their usual tactics and Nixon’s ruthlessness, Lorrand was worried. 

He said, “Miss Berry, I am sorry. It was my negligence. I was wrong! I. 

Lea ignored him. She understood the situation as soon as she saw his reaction 

She had already pulled his office computer towards her, opened the browser, and was ready to search for information her way. 

The incident of them seizing the patient had already trended online, so any action taken would surely be publicly posted online as well 

Before Lea could start typing, she noticed the top trending topic on the real–time hot list. “Fraley Hospital news conference live Just as she was about to click on it there was a knock at the door. 

Shannon anxiously called from outside. “Mr. Phoenix, are you in there? I want to ask you about my mother’s condition…” 

She had been to the nephrology office and had heard some of the doctors‘ opinions. 

Her mother was critically ill, and her heart could stop at any moment Lorrand had the best medical skills and was most familiar with her mother’s condition. 

From their conversation yesterday, Shannon could also tell that Lea had instructed him to take care of her and her mother, So, she came to ask him about the situation. 

No matter whether she and Donna were related by blood, Shannon did not want her to die yet. She was still waiting for Donna to help her deal with Helen, to repay Lea. 

Lorrand was stunned and looked to Lea for her opinion. This matter was directly related to Donna and her daughter, and no one knew it better than Lea 

Lea nodded and then clicked the mouse to start the live broadcast. 

“Mr. Phoenix… As soon as Shannon entered, she was shocked to see Lea 

Hearing the voice coming from the computer, it was her mother’s attending doctor at Fraley Hospital, Peter. He mentioned Donna 

Shannon quickly walked over and stood next to Lea to watch. Lorrand also hurried over to understand the situation. 

held in the lobby of Fraley Hospital’s headquarters, with invitations extended to thirty or forty media reporters, and the The news conference was city news anchors were also present. 

Of course, their own media reporters controlled the situation. 

Including on–site staff, security, and the dozen hospital staff members attending, including Peter, the marketing manager, the vice president, the hospital director, and the head of the announcement department, the scene was grand and solemn, with 360–degree live coverage. 

Peter faced the camera and said confidently, “Riverview SmartMed is a newly built hospital. Iverton behind them is quite strong. Everyone knows that in Vaporleon City, our Fraley Medical holds 99% of the market share. Other hospitals can’t survive.” 

He continued, “The business world is like a battlefield. They will stop at nothing to survive and will go all out to attack our hospital. Right now, our hospital is being exploited by malicious individuals” 

Peter was dressed in a white coat, wearing thin–framed glasses, looking proper and dignified, very fitting for his image as an excellent doctor. His speech was logical and persuasive. 

Reporters began asking questions. “Dr. Dunlap, are y you saying Riverview Hospital is now controlling Donna because of business. competition?” 

Next to Peter, a middle–aged man in his forties, dressed in a black suit, adjusted his jacket and seriously answered on his behalf, “All of you are smart people. Such common business tactics should be evident to everyone. 

He was the hospital’s marketing director, and his words flattered the media personnel, making them psychologically more receptive to

“But in Donna’s case, Helen was involved in murder, using her status to manipulate Dr. Dunlap to control the patient’s life. It’s understandable that Riverview Hospital would take such actions, right? The city news anchor sharply questioned Peter. 

Unfazed, he confidently responded, “As we just mentioned, this is a business war. As for Ms. Helen’s case, the court has not yet delivered a verdict. Until the result is out, please do not jump to conclusions.” 

His words led to a murmur of discussion among the dozens of media personnel in the audience. 

At Riverview Hospital, Lea and the others could not hear their discussions but saw the densely packed comments on the screen. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Is there a twist in this case? Is Helen still the murderer 

“Looks like it.” 

“No way, has already been acquitted. If it’s not her, then who?” 

“If it really was her, Fraley Hospital wouldn’t say so. Even a three–year–old wouldn’t do something so contradictory” 

“There must be more to this 

“Who really committed the murder? Can someone explain?” 

“Anyway, if Fraley Hospital dares to hold this press conference, I feel reassured. I won’t sell my Berry Group and Fraley Medical stocks now.” 

“I just bought 50 thousand shares.” 

T’m getting some too!” 

Lea frowned. Were they so confident that Helen would be acquitted? What was Matilda going to do? 

“This… how is this possible?” Shannon asked incredulously, turning to Lea. The evidence was irrefutable and exposed to the entire internet. No matter how powerful, could they defy the law and public justice? 

Lea merely glanced at her indifferently.

Seeing her gaze, Shannon bit her lip, feeling a surge of powerlessness and despair. Could anything truly happen in this w shattered again.
