Chapter 116:
At that moment, the doors across the room opened.
A man stepped out, walking with quiet strength. He held a hot water bottle in one hand, and though he wore a patient’s gown, he carried himself like someone used to being in charge.
He smiled and said, “Sharp eyes, young lady. You’re right. I’m not ill.” The room went dead silent.
Evita’s hand shook as she pointed. “Mr. Morgan p>
He chuckled and handed the bottle to his butler. “It’s me. I was the third patient, just in disguise p>
Then he turned to Rylie with an approving look. “Out of everyone here, only she figured it out p>
To keep his identity hidden, Sean had wrapped his face tightly, making it nearly impossible for anyone to recognize him during the examination.
“I overheard every word from the consultation room,” said Sean. He stood tall, his voice steady and his eyes sharp. “HaloFlow Pharmacy has earned first place, no question p>
The room fell quiet. One doctor, who had been the loudest critic, suddenly had nothing to say. Evita’s face turned pale, then red. Her head stayed low. Sean’s reveal left no doubt — her skills had been outmatched too quickly by someone she had dismissed. Nobody had imagined that the third patient would be Sean himself, playing sick. Evita couldn’t afford to let someone she looked down on destroy everything she had worked for.
Her eyes darted around. Now that the Wilde family was blacklisted by Healing Hand and had a tarnished reputation on the dark web, they were struggling. If they couldn’t secure Brad’s chief physician rights today, it would all be over.
She gave Marsha a subtle signal. Marsha raised her voice at once. “HaloFlow stole our family’s formula. They used it to save Mr. Brad Morgan at a crucial time! That wasn’t help — that was theft. The Wilde family has never lost a patient. We’ve always practiced medicine with integrity. How can you trust someone who snuck their way to the top p>
Rylie stepped up, her tone sharp and cool. “Funny. Is there any proof that Selah was involved in a setup back when that patient died? Who’s really the fraud p>
Evita scoffed, shaking her head. “We have the proof. Selah’s selfish mistake cost a life. The case was reviewed thoroughly. You’ve been misled. Still, if you hand over the formula, I won’t press charges p>
“Charges?” Rylie glanced at the clock, then passed her phone to Evita, smirking. “Go on. Call them. I’d be honored p>
“You!” Evita sputtered. “You think I won’t? If you weren’t Brad’s physician, I’d have had you locked up already p>
“No call yet?” Without hesitation, Rylie snatched her phone back, dialed the number herself, and lifted it to her ear. “Let me help. I’ll call the police to come get me p>
Everyone watched in stunned silence. Who would call the police on themselves? What exactly was Rylie planning?
Even Evita couldn’t make sense of what Rylie was doing. Meanwhile, Marsha kept pressing forward.
“Go ahead and call them,” she snapped. “That formula you stole is worth hundreds of millions. You’ll be rotting in prison before long p>
