Lincoln kept his silence.

He was deliberately tarnishing Caylie’s reputation, kindling the crowd’s resentment toward her.
His reason? Was it of any importance?
Not in the slightest.
He didn’t even need to provide an explanation, unable to conjure one even if asked. Regardless, the outcome was just as he had wished.
A spark of fury ignited in Emrys‘ eyes. He stepped forward, his voice laced with menace, “How dare you slander my sister? Do you think I don’t dare to strike you?”
To his surprise, Lincoln intentionally patted his own face, goading, “Come on then, hit me as hard as you can. Let everyone see just how crude the people of Apricot Hall are. With your violent temperament, who would dare to let you treat them?”
His words set the crowd buzzing.
“Apricot Hall resorts to violence when they can’t win an argument!”
“What a brute! And he runs a clinic? If you’re so fond of fighting, why not start a gang? Even Hendrik, the leader of Midas, wouldn’t stand a chance against you.”
“When I was at Apricot Hall the last time, this young lad jumped out and caused a scene. He even slapped Dr. Faraday.”
“I was there too! It was him. He was the one delaying the treatment of that little girl. She was barely a year or two years old. How could he be so cruel?”
“This is outrageous! Apricot Hall should be shut down!”
In no time, the tide of public opinion turned against Emrys.
The issue of the little girl particularly invoked the people’s sympathy, and the shared sentiment morphed into collective fury.
The power of public opinion could be terrifying.
Just their spit alone could drown Emrys.
Caylie tugged at Emrys with an ashen look on her face. “Perhaps we should close Apricot Hall for a while and lay low until this blows over.”
She knew all too well the venomous nature of these people’s tongues and couldn’t bear to see Emrys being vilified.

However, Emrys shook his head with an icy look on his face. “Caylie, we cannot back down, not even a single step. If we do, they will think we’re guilty, and Apricot Hall might even get destroyed.”
What’s going on? Why have the accusations suddenly shifted toward Dr. Faraday?
