Marselle sneered. "My family's planning to partner with Kane Group to build a private hospital. I happened to come to this hospital today to take a look around.
"I just finished talking to their director and was heading to the parking lot to get my car, and then I ran into you."
"I see."
Walking next to her made Giselle uneasy, especially when she remembered how she'd come to her house last time acting all sly and cunning, and also how she had humiliated her that day.
Giselle never imagined that in such a dangerous situation, Marselle would actually step forward to help her and indirectly save her life.
"Ms. Sterling, why don't you head back first? I can treat my wound on my own. Either way, I really appreciate what you did today. I'll treat you to a meal sometime when you're free."
"No need for that. It's not a big deal," Marselle said, rolling her eyes while still sounding somewhat concerned. "Come on, let's go get your wound treated.
"The real issue is that I smashed that lunatic pretty hard. Who knows if she'll end up seriously injured? If she did, she might come after me. The police will probably want both of us at the station to give statements by the time they arrive."
Giselle thought she had a point. If that woman had actually been severely injured, would she…
Not long after her wound was treated, the police arrived. After a brief round of questions to understand the situation, they went to pull the security footage to review what happened.
"Don't worry," she assured Marselle. "What you did was clearly helping me in self-defense. I'll testify for you. There's no way you'd end up with a lawsuit."
Marselle, however, looked unfazed. She gave a habitual snort.
While they waited, she glanced at Giselle. "Ms. Holt, in the past, I might have acted in ways that weren't exactly appropriate. Since it's all over now, I hope neither of us holds onto it."
