Chapter 616
"This is a hospital, not your playground." Ethan Roscente's voice was glacial. "Disperse within three minutes or face the consequences from Roscente Group's legal team."
The crowd erupted into chaos.
Several timid individuals immediately dropped their protest banners and fled.
"Stop!" Victoria Roscente stomped her foot in frustration. "Useless cowards!"
Her gaze met Ethan's and she instinctively took half a step back.
"Doctors aren't gods." Ethan enunciated each word sharply. "If you riot every time they can't perform miracles, who would dare practice medicine?"
Vivian Laurent froze.
How many good physicians had their careers destroyed by such medical disputes over the years?
"Ethan, we're not causing trouble." Victoria forced herself to stand firm. "Vivian killed Bianca's father. We're just demanding justice."
"Until the investigation concludes, who gave you the authority to pass judgment?" Ethan advanced step by step. "Or do you consider yourself more qualified than the police?"
Victoria retreated under his relentless approach.
"Evidence." Ethan demanded coldly.
"Who else could it be?" Victoria's voice trembled. "She's taking revenge on Bianca!"
"I said evidence." Ethan repeated icily.
Victoria fell silent.
"No evidence means slander." Ethan's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Apparently your time in confinement wasn't long enough."
With a flick of his wrist, bodyguards immediately seized Victoria.
"Let me go!" She struggled futilely as they dragged her away.
Bianca Semona tore off her mourning sash, glaring venomously at Vivian. "I'll find the proof!"
The crowd finally dispersed.
Director Wang approached with visible remorse. "Dr. Laurent, I'm terribly sorry—"
"Don't be." Vivian shook her head. "My conscience is clear."
"That's good then." Director Wang exhaled in relief before hurrying off.
Only Ethan and Vivian remained in the corridor.
As he reached out, a dark figure suddenly intervened.
"Shadow, come with me." Liam Valdemar materialized from nowhere, gripping Vivian's wrist.
