From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 383

**TITLE: Her Rise 383**
**Chapter 383 That’s Just Nasty**

The finality of the situation hung heavily in the air, a palpable tension that everyone seemed to feel.

In unison, the others joined in, their voices rising in a chorus of indignation. “Absolutely! People like her have no right to even set foot in this hospital. She lacks any semblance of professional ethics!”

As I listened, a thought crossed my mind: perhaps it would be best for Athena to be asked to leave before she could inflict any further damage on the hospital’s reputation. What kind of scandal might she conjure next? Should we band together and draft a petition to report her to Mr. Drake?

At that moment, Maya, ever the opportunist, hid behind the shield of her phone, a self-satisfied smirk playing on her lips.

Observing Athena’s evident struggle to respond, Maya couldn’t help but think that Athena must be losing her grip on reality.

Among those who critiqued Athena the harshest was Maya’s own assistant, who seemed equally thrilled by the unfolding drama. She shot a message to Maya, “Professor Rice, it seems like Athena’s finally going to be ousted. Perhaps she’ll leave the hospital for good and won’t be a nuisance to you anymore.”

Maya’s smile widened, a glimmer of vindication flashing in her eyes.

If only things could unfold just as she hoped.

Just then, Athena seized the opportunity. With a swift motion, she uploaded the incriminating photos and videos of Maya stealthily lurking around her office.

With a sneer, she declared, “Mr. Elijah and I were merely discussing work handover. I have video evidence documenting every aspect of our conversation. And as for these scandalous photos, you can all see for yourselves their true origin!”

A stunned silence enveloped the group as Athena dropped her bombshell of evidence.

Athena reveled in the shock that spread through the group chat. Maya must have let her guard down this time—she forgot to erase the security footage. Jaylee had managed to secure both the photos and the video evidence.

Now, everyone could witness firsthand the reality of Maya’s actions.

The videos clearly depicted Athena and Elijah engaged in nothing more than a professional exchange, which was more than enough to exonerate Athena from any wrongdoing.

With the evidence sent, Jaylee finally unleashed her pent-up frustration.

“Some people truly have no shame! They sneak around, framing others, attempting to tarnish someone’s reputation. Even if your fiancé leaves you, that’s no excuse for such toxicity!”

The group chat erupted in a frenzy of outrage.

A wave of disgust washed over many, realizing they had been manipulated into being pawns in Maya’s game.

“Wait, so it was all Professor Rice’s doing?”

“So Athena was slandered for days for absolutely nothing? That’s just not right!”

It clearly displayed how Maya had trespassed, taking photos and framing Athena with those very images.

The assistant clutched her cheek, tears welling in her eyes as she stammered, “I… I thought since Athena didn’t catch us last time, she wouldn’t bother checking the cameras again, so…”

“You thought? Are you completely daft?” Maya was beside herself with rage.

After she had taken those incriminating photos, she had explicitly told her assistant to erase the security footage. Never in her wildest dreams did she think the girl would botch something so elementary.

Now, instead of ruining Athena’s reputation, she had effectively obliterated her own.

Maya seethed with fury, ready to explode when suddenly, there was a knock on her office door. Someone had arrived to hear her side of the story. Maya shot a furious glare at her assistant, whose face was already flushed and swollen.

She barked, “What are you waiting for? Go hide in the bathroom and don’t come out until I say so.

“You want people to see you like this?”

Even if no one suspected anything, if word spread about her volatile temper, it would spell disaster for her.

Maya would never allow that to happen.

Her assistant scurried away, and Maya steeled herself before opening the door. Standing on the other side was Barbara.

As soon as the door swung open, Barbara wasted no time, demanding, “Maya, was it really you who did this to Athena?”
