Katelyn met Carol’s gaze, the warmth in those kind eyes melting a small part of her guarded exterior. A surge of gratitude filled her chest, knowing that, no matter the storm, Carol and Vincent were her unwavering pillars.
They were the ones who always stood with her unconditionally, believing in her words without questioning the truth.
Such loyalty couldn’t be bought, no matter how much wealth or power one had.
“I’ll gather the evidence and prove my innocence. I won’t let those with ill intentions succeed,” Katelyn vowed, her voice filled with resolve.
She had given Zoey the chance to make a choice. If Zoey continued to be headstrong, Katelyn was ready to take the matter public and expose everything.
Carol let out a soft sigh, her voice tinged with disappointment.
“It’s the sad reality of today’s world. Good people often end up being taken advantage of.”
Katelyn nodded, her expression resolute but tinged with bitterness. Her gaze then shifted, locking onto Lise with cold precision.
“Lise.”
A slight smile played on Katelyn’s lips, but her words carried a clear threat.
“You still have time to tie up those loose ends. Otherwise, you’ll soon find yourself regretting it.”
Her tone was soft, yet it sent chills down Lise’s spine. What was happening? Did Katelyn truly have something on her?
Lise’s expression turned visibly strained as she managed to say, “Katelyn, I’m not sure what you’re implying.” Katelyn crossed her arms, her gaze calm and observant, watching Lise as she prepared for her reaction.
Casually, she added, “Oh, I forgot to mention, Zoey is also ready to reveal your secrets. It’ll be interesting to see you two go at it.”
Don’t miss out gα?ησνls?c?m
Silently, Lise clenched her fists.
She knew Zoey could be easily manipulated, which was why Lise had managed to make her turn on her longtime supporter so quickly. Yet, according to her knowledge, Zoey was now disabled. Shouldn’t Zoey resent Katelyn more? Why would she side with Katelyn instead of ratting Lise out?
Carol looked at Katelyn, confusion evident on her face.
“Who’s Zoey?”
She was only familiar with the rumors among the nurses and had no idea of the names involved.
However, Neil understood. His expression darkened, his eyes narrowing at Lise.
Lise hurried to defend herself and said, “Katelyn, I’m confused. This seems to be your issue. Why involve me? I only saw Zoey once at that event.”
The gleam in Katelyn’s eyes sharpened, tinged with sarcasm.
“Keep up that brave appearance.”
