Chapter 405

Evelyn's jaw tightened as a sudden realization flashed across her face. "Don't you care what Mr. Black thinks of you? His reaction made it clear he believed Serena when she accused you of pushing her down the stairs."

At Lila's words, a fleeting shadow crossed Evelyn's eyes - a brief glimpse of bitter amusement.

The divorce papers were signed. Did Nathan's opinion even matter anymore?

"It's irrelevant," Evelyn responded coolly.

Lila's frustration became palpable.

Before she could retort, Evelyn spoke with calm finality. "Defend my reputation if you wish. Stay silent if you prefer. This conversation is over. I have patients waiting." Without hesitation, she turned and walked away.

Her steps never faltered.

Watching Evelyn's retreating figure, Lila seethed with a toxic mix of anger and anxiety.

How could Evelyn remain so indifferent?

Damn her!

This was supposed to be Lila's opportunity to secure her position at the hospital, but Evelyn refused to play along!

Clutching her phone, Lila opened a video from her gallery - clear footage of Serena deliberately tumbling down the stairs.

But showing Evelyn this evidence was never part of the plan.

Even if Evelyn complied, Lila would only verbally claim to have witnessed Serena's fall.

The video would remain her secret weapon.

Whether people believed her testimony didn't matter.

She secretly reveled in Evelyn's tarnished reputation - why would she genuinely help restore it?

The video was merely insurance for future leverage.

With this thought, Lila pocketed her phone and strode away.

Meanwhile, in the VIP suite of Grand Ins General Hospital...

Serena's face lit up as Nathan entered. "Nathan," she cooed.

He approached her bedside, his voice gentle. "How are you feeling today?"

"The pain has lessened," she replied sweetly.

Nathan sat beside her, his intense gaze locking onto hers. "Serena, I need to ask you again - are you absolutely certain Evelyn pushed you that day?"

Serena's pulse skipped.

Why was he questioning this now?
