How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 114

Since Winifred had dared to compete with his daughter for Yvan, he had felt a measure of dissatisfaction himself. He had tacitly approved of York's dismissive handling of the situation, intending to let Winifred learn a lesson.

But he never imagined that Cornelia had orchestrated the whole thing.

He had tried to pull some strings to get Cornelia released, but Mr. Perez was incorruptible.

After making some inquiries, he discovered that Yvan had played a significant role in the matter.

That was when Zebulon started to panic.

The last time Cornelia had insulted Winifred, Yvan had forced her to issue a public apology.

This time, Yvan's aggressive response made it clear he wouldn't let her off easily.

Too embarrassed to call Hogan, Zebulon swallowed his pride and called Yvan, hoping he would show some mercy and spare Cornelia.

"You overestimate my influence, Mr. Johnson. How could I possibly interfere in a matter like this?" Yvan's tone was frigid. "The evidence of Cornelia's crime is conclusive. If I were to help her, wouldn't that be trampling all over the law?"

"You're exaggerating, Yvan," Zebulon said with a nervous laugh. "The police themselves said the severity of Cornelia's offense is open to interpretation. It all depends on how Dr. Spencer wishes to proceed. If she doesn't press criminal charges, Cornelia can avoid prison. Rest assured, I will keep a strict eye on Cornelia from now on. She will never bother Dr. Spencer again. Furthermore, I will issue a public statement to clear Dr. Spencer's name."

"Is that all?" Yvan flicked his ash. "That hardly seems fair to Dr. Spencer. She was subjected to a malicious harassment campaign, had her reputation destroyed, was physically injured, and suffered immense emotional distress. And all you're offering is a clarification?"

Zebulon quickly added, "Of course not. We will provide appropriate compensation for her suffering—she can name her price. Also, Dr. Spencer is an excellent dentist. For next year's promotion review, I will speak to the board on her behalf so she won't have to worry. And in the future, if any suitable advancement opportunities arise, I guarantee, as long as I am director of this hospital, she will be given priority."

Yvan fell silent.
