Chapter 506: Chapter 506
The call was from Ewan Zimmerman, bringing in the latest information he had dug up. Nathan Moore, with one hand tucked into the pocket of his casual pants and the other holding a phone, had his jaw tensed and his squinting eyes couldn’t hide the chill within.
"...Release this news. The bigger the outrage it causes, the better... Also, continue the investigation, find out the real cause of Nicole Zane’s death!"
After hanging up, he watched the woman playing joyfully by the seaside with the tide coming in and out, and Nathan Moore’s handsome facial features softened along with her laughter.
In Capital City, in the Director’s office of the hospital.
Director Li’s face did not look good. He swiveled the computer monitor towards Ariana Evans.
"Take a look for yourself, the comments here are extremely nasty. Do you realize how much negative impact this post has brought to our hospital?"
Ariana Evans hung her head low, she had already seen the forum post—a netizen claiming to be in the know had dredged up her past affairs with Julian Zane when they were younger.
The title was particularly eye-catching: #How the Mistress Whitewashed Herself#
The post even used real names... mentioning how Julian had been hospitalized due to illness and how Ariana took advantage of her position to have an affair with him... One time, they were even caught red-handed by his wife, who caused quite a scene in the hospital... This update is available on novel⚑fire.net
As soon as the post went live, the internet was abuzz with discussions. It turns out that the wife of Zane Enterprises’ president was not his first wife, but a mistress who climbed her way up... Rumor had it she even intended to replace her stepdaughter’s heart with that of her biological daughter...
In no time, netizens turned into "agents of justice," condemning Ariana’s actions with their impassioned comments.
As a senior attending physician in the hospital, Ariana’s conduct not only brought a lot of negative attention to the hospital, but some family members of patients even requested that she not conduct surgeries.
Because of her character, they were worried she might secretly remove their loved ones’ organs during the operations...
"Director, not everything you read online is true. My husband will handle it," Ariana said.
"Not true?" Director Li snorted coldly, but recalling Julian’s significant investments in the hospital, his tone softened and he wasn’t as passionate as before.
"True or not, it has already had a bad influence on the hospital. The patients’ families are causing quite a commotion. It’s best you take a break for a while; come back to work once this has all blown over."
Her lips twitched, and she looked up, about to speak, but meeting the Director Li’s clearly displeased expression, she fell silent and nodded, "Alright, I’ll take leave."
After speaking, she left the director’s office without saying another word.
She thought this matter would soon be overshadowed by other news, but it has been a week, and although Julian tried to get his media friends to help, that "informed netizen" was releasing information like serial novels, revealing some old stories every other day.
As the netizen continued to post intermittently over the week, not only was the issue not suppressed, but it also started to ferment rapidly...
Titus Zane was still vacationing in Saipan, blissfully unaware of the happenings in the Zane Family as he spent his days traveling around with Nathan Moore.
In Capital City, at the Zane Family residence.
Samuel Zane leaned back on the sofa, his tiger-like eyes slightly squinting.
"...It seems someone wants to push Julian Zane to the edge this time."
"Dad, do you think... that rumor could be true?" Evander Lancaster stared at his father. Though now a businessman, his resolute face lost none of its past glory.
Samuel Zane turned and looked over, "You mean the heart transplant issue?"
"Yes," Evander nodded, and saw his father Samuel turn back and rest his hands on the cane before him, looking forward with a faint voice to deliver five words.
"No smoke without fire."
