Chapter 615

Bianca Semona remained silent while Victoria Roscente pressed on aggressively.

"We haven't laid a finger on Vivian Laurent. We just want justice."

"My friend's father died under suspicious circumstances, and your hospital calls it an accident? If I stab you right now, can I claim it was an accident too?"

Sirens wailed in the distance. Dean Remetio frowned at the troublemaker. "Madam, what's your relationship with the deceased? Causing a disturbance in a hospital is illegal."

"Illegal?" Victoria's eyes gleamed with malicious excitement. "What about Vivian killing someone? Isn't that illegal? Tell her to come out! Hiding inside like a coward proves her guilt!"

Nathan Clementson pushed through the crowd. "I'm Nathan Clementson, Head of General Surgery. Dr. Laurent is under my department. If you have concerns, address them to me."

"The surgery followed all protocols, and experts have reviewed the case. Continue this disruption, and the hospital will pursue legal action."

Though his voice was calm, every word carried authority.

The Head of Cardiac Surgery stepped forward. "Dr. Laurent's skills are undeniable. I personally requested her assistance for this surgery and supervised the entire procedure."

"With thirty years of experience, I guarantee there were no errors."

Victoria sneered. "A young girl lost her father. How will this widow and orphan survive? Your hospital is protecting a murderer!"

"If Vivian's innocent, why won't she face us?"

"Do you really think I'd hide?"

A cool voice cut through the noise. Vivian Laurent walked forward in her pristine lab coat, composed and unflinching.

"Victoria Roscente, inciting a riot carries legal consequences."

"You killed someone! Shouldn't you face justice?"

"I committed no crime. If you doubt the investigation, report it to the authorities." Vivian met her gaze steadily. "The findings confirm it was an accident, and the hospital will continue monitoring the case."

"Your theatrics here change nothing."

"Vivian! You murderer! Give me back my father!" Bianca suddenly lunged like a madwoman.

Victoria seized the moment to rally the crowd. "A life for a life! That's justice!"

Chaos erupted. Security guards were overwhelmed as Victoria's mob disrupted hospital operations.

"Victoria!"

A thunderous voice boomed through a megaphone. Victoria flinched, turning to see Ethan Roscente striding toward her with the amplifier.

Her bravado vanished instantly. "Brother..."

The fearless heiress cowered before her formidable older brother—the one person whose wrath she dreaded.

And it was clear Ethan hadn't come to defend her.
