Chapter 126

Victoria Roscente lifted her chin, her voice shrill. "I saw you push Sophia with my own eyes!"

Vivian Laurent kept her hands in her lab coat pockets, her gaze icy.

She hadn't even touched a single thread of Sophia's clothing.

Victoria pointed at her swollen cheek. "And this slap mark? You did this!"

"Think you're so great, Dr. Laurent? Resorting to violence when you can't win an argument?"

"We came here seeking medical help, and this is how you treat patients?"

The sharp click of dress shoes echoed from the end of the hallway.

"Victoria."

The name pierced Victoria's spine like an icicle.

Her body stiffened, her arrogance vanishing instantly.

Ethan Roscente's tall figure appeared around the corner.

Sophia remained collapsed on the floor, summoning tears on command. "Ethan... my leg hurts so much..."

She extended a trembling hand, her face streaked with tears.

Ethan didn't even glance at her, his eyes locked on Victoria. "Explain."

"Brother!" Victoria's voice shook. "We came for treatment!"

"Vivian deliberately refused to register Sophia!"

"We just wanted an explanation, and she attacked us!"

Her accusations grew more animated, as if she'd witnessed every detail.

Vivian suddenly smiled. "Proof?"

"Think you're a walking surveillance camera?"

Victoria jutted her chin out. "Exam rooms don't have cameras!"

"Who told you that?" Vivian leisurely pulled out her phone.

Both Victoria and Sophia paled instantly.

They'd specifically confirmed this hospital prohibited cameras in exam rooms.

Sophia's nails dug into her palms.

If there really was footage...

Not only would their scheme fail, but they'd be caught red-handed.

Victoria forced composure. "Y-you installing cameras illegally violates patient privacy—"

"Shall I play the footage for everyone?" Vivian interrupted.

Her thumb hovered over the phone screen.
