Chapter 295
Belinda didn’t manage to have Maurice transferred to Jenton University Hospital, and Joseph didn’t head over to the Traditional Medicine Center either.
Through the hospital faction, Joseph learned a few things about Maurice’s condition. Without a doubt, he had been poisoned, and he was still in a coma.
Since Joseph hadn’t taken his pulse or gone through the lab records, CT scans, and other data, he couldn’t say for sure what happened to Maurice.
“Was Jenna behind this? But that doesn’t sound right. Maurice worked for the Zahns, so Jenna wouldn’t be stupid enough to hurt him.
Was it possible that she was heartless enough to hurt her own people? Or did she think Joseph was some saint and would definitely save Maurice?
Joseph couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to set that thought aside and spend the night in the office.
The next day, as soon as Joseph arrived for work, Mason summoned him to his office and asked, “Did you actually take on the challenge? Did you give that miracle doctor a tough case too?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about Maurice Towne, the patient at the Traditional Medicine Center. Someone said you poisoned him.”
“Oh? Did the Zahns say so? Well, they should back up their claims with evidence! If they keep slandering me like this, I’m going to report them to the police!”
Joseph was shocked. He didn’t even know who Maurice Towne was. Why would he even poison that guy?
“If you didn’t do it, then who did?”
“How would I know?” Joseph denied it again. “Besides, who on earth is Maurice Towne? He even wants his medical records kept confidential. Do you really think I’d ever get the chance to hurt him?”
“I guess you really weren’t behind this. I know exactly what to do now!” With that, he made a call in front of Joseph and confirmed the latter hadn’t done it, and he ordered the person to launch an investigation.
Mason wanted to discuss Maurice’s condition with Joseph, but the latter immediately chose to avoid the topic.
Once Joseph was back at his department, the office phone rang, and Jenna’s voice came over the line.
“Joseph, I knew it! You were behind this! You’re so cruel!”
“Where’s your evidence? All you people ever do is slander others!”
Joseph ended the call before calling the police. He had them launch an investigation to prove his innocence.
He had a vague feeling that another powerful family had infiltrated Jenton and was causing trouble behind the scenes, intending to frame him.
Later, he gave Grace a call and spread the news of Maurice’s poisoning in Jenton.
He knew the Croma faction would never give up on Jenton. Only by taking down the Zahns could they firmly establish themselves in Jenton for good.

Now that Maurice, the Zahns’ subordinate, had been poisoned, it was the best time to weaken the Zahns. The Croma faction would never let a chance like that slip by.
Just then, the door to the office swung open. Bernard strode in furiously, pointed at Joseph, and asked, “Did you poison Maurice?”
“I’ve already called the police. We’ll soon find out who’s been slandering me. By then, you’ll know who actually poisoned him!” Joseph met Bernard’s eyes, not showing any sign of backing down.
“You called the police?” Bernard was shocked.
“Why not? I can’t just let you guys slander me like that, can I? I’m not in a position to investigate this, nor can clear my name. But I have faith in the police and the law.”
