After a pause, she explained, “The hospital charged the family a million after the old patient passed away, and that’s why the patient’s children sued them.”
Drawing my brows together, I uttered, “They’re still charging the family medical fees after he passed away for months? What are they treating? His corpse?”
She shook her head. “I don’t know. These are obviously questionable charges, but there are many similar cases. All the hospitals under Fuller Corporation have these cases. That’s why it’ll be difficult to handle them all now. There’s a chance that Mr. Fuller might have to go to jail for this.”
No way! Ashton can’t possibly have done this!
“Jared has always been the one managing the medical side of the business, and Ashton has never asked anything about his management because he trusts him. Now that they’re expanding the business overseas, all the business related to medical and research is Jared’s responsibility. How can things turn out this way?”
Does Ashton and Jared have a secret past?
Stacey sighed. “Clearly someone has planned for this for a long time. All that’s left now is to find out how Mr. Fuller is going to deal with it.”
I pressed my lips together. “The children of the old patient have been paying the fees after he passed away? They said nothing even though they’re paying a million for no good reason?”
No one would continue to pay the fees after their parents are gone, right?
She nodded. “They’ve even kept records of every receipt and medication, so everyone is talking about how evil Fuller Corporation is.”
It was almost impossible for Ashton to turn the tables with all evidence pointing toward him while everyone was criticizing him.
Cameron really is ruthless. She’s all quiet until she deals a deadly blow that no one can recover from.
After a brief while of contemplation, I said, “There are no results for Mr. Clinton’s case in the investigation. Do you have any plans?”
Although Cameron and Clinton frequently contacted, neither of their accounts had any transfer of funds from each other, and no one could find a trace of evidence regarding cash transactions. Moreover, they had found nothing in Clinton’s house.
Mulling over my words, she replied, “I’m not too sure about that. What about this? I’ll go back and ask around for more details to see if I get anything useful.”
I nodded; that was all we could do now.
…
Stacey and I did not converse for long as someone was bound to notice us if we stayed around too long.
I had originally planned to head straight back to the villa, but I suddenly recalled the White’s matter. After a pause, I went to the White residence to visit Marcus instead.
