Adrian's words blatantly accused Caroline of deliberately framing Liana.
Caroline felt as though her lungs were going to explode from rage.
"Adrian, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?! Why would I poison myself?!" Her eyes burned with pure hatred as she glared at Liana, who stood nearby looking the picture of enduring victimization. "You bitch! You must have bribed Adrian! You two are conspiring against me!"
Liana shook her head in terror, large tears streaming down her face. "I didn't..."
On the other end of the line, Adrian had long been disgusted by Caroline's arrogant and domineering behavior. Over the years, he had endured plenty of her abuse. Being slandered like this was the final straw. Even the usually mild-mannered Adrian lost his temper.
"Ms. Salmeron! Eating the wrong thing can be cured, but making baseless accusations cannot!" Adrian said sharply. "The Reed family has been practicing medicine for generations; we would never poison a patient! Clive, if this is how the Salmeron family views me, then consider my resignation as your private physician effective immediately!"
Clive glared at Caroline with dark hostility. "I know Adrian's character better than anyone! Apologize to Dr. Reed right now!"
"..." Caroline clenched her fists, trembling with rage.
How could she apologize?!
She had always been the one doing the bullying. Even that bitch Amelia had been trampled under her feet years ago! Just recently, Amelia had nearly died by her hands!
And Liana, this cheap, lowly tramp? She wasn't even a tenth of the woman Amelia was! What right did she have to reduce Caroline to this?!
"I won't apologize!" Caroline shrieked. "It's not my fault! Why should I apologize?!"
Adrian was completely enraged. "Clive, I think Ms. Salmeron's attitude is crystal clear. My family might not be high-society aristocrats, but we have our own bottom line and dignity! I've recorded this conversation, and I will be instructing my lawyer to sue Ms. Salmeron for defamation. As for your family's private doctor, please look elsewhere!"
"Adrian..." Clive tried to salvage the situation, but for the first time, Adrian didn't give him any face and hung up the phone with absolute finality.
