RedNovelRegret 27 Chapter 27 "You setup at that dinner, trickedinto someone else's private room, even let them getdrunk and drugged." Charlotte's laugh was cold, sharp as glass. "Director Winthrop, your methods are truly appalling." Across the room, the nurses whispered, exchanging shocked looks. None of them could believe what they were hearing.
Tricia's face blanched. "That's not true!" "Dr. Sterling, the government officials who were waiting last night can all testify-they said you never showed up "That's because you gavethe wrong room number!" "I swear I didn't..." Charlotte pulled out her phone and thrust it toward Tricia, displaying the messages from last night. "Do I need to get the government staff to confirm this?" Tricia froze, her composure cracking. She'd completely forgotten about those messages.
Catching sight of someone approaching, Tricia reacted swiftly-grabbing Charlotte's hand and yanking it toward her own face, as if inviting a slap. "Dr. Sterling, you're misunderstanding me. I admit it-I was careless, I must've written the wrong room number. You can hitif you want. It's my fault you were put in danger. I deserve your anger!" Charlotte tried to pull her hand away, but at that moment, Tricia suddenly tumbled down the stairs nearby. The scene left everyone, Charlotte and the nurses alike, stunned.

Charlotte spun around, instinctively trying to explain. "Director Fontaine, I didn't push her-" "We all saw it, and you're still making excuses!" Director Fontaine snapped, before turning to the nurses. “Well? Go check on her injuries, now!" Snapping out of their shock, the nurses hurried down the steps.
Director Fontaine strode over to Charlotte, jabbing a finger at her with a look of deep disappointment. "You've worked here for three years. The dean has always believed in you, and now... you go and make a mistake like this." Charlotte's hands clenched at her sides. She stayed quiet.
She knew nothing she said would matter now.
But this time, she wouldn't just sit back and take it.
It didn't take long for Director Fontaine to report the incident to Dean Chase. Soon, gossip about Charlotte "pushing" Tricia down the stairs spread like wildfire through the hospital.
The hospital's higher-ups, worried about their reputation, had no choice but to put Charlotte on immediate leave.
Leaving the dean's office, Charlotte ran right into Evander.
He walked straight up to her, not giving her a chance to speak. Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her into the fire exit stairwell. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Tricia? Do my words go in one ear and out the other?" His grip hurt, but Charlotte just frowned and met his gaze. "You say I provoked her? Wasn't it her who cafter me?" He shot back, "And why would she do that?" Chapter 27 "Is there a reason?" A reason...
Truthfully, Charlotte had no idea why Tricia targeted her out of the blue.
But she was sure it had something to do with Evander.
She pulled her hand free and looked away. "Maybe we should just get a divorce so don't have to keep taking the blfor things I didn't do." "Charlotte." Evander's eyes darkened. "Stop threateningwith divorce.
It doesn't scare me." "I'm not threatening you." He took a step closer, looking down at her.
