Chapter 417 A Stolen Secret

Why was fate playing such cruel tricks on her?

Why did Oriana get to thrive while she was the one suffering all these hardships?!

The sound of a door opening and closing echocd in the stairwell, followed by voices.

“Hey, isn’t it weird we haven’t seen Clara for days?”

“Yikes, you haven’t heard?”

“Heard what?”

“Clara tried to scheme her way into the second young master of the Caldwell family’s bed, but ended up… causing him some kind of permanent damage. Rumor is he’s infertile now. Clara and the whole Martin family were dealt with by the Caldwells…”

“Whoa, that’s explosive! Was Clara that desperate? And that second young master of the Caldwell family… that’s so tragic, really infertile?

“Shh! My sister works in the VIP ward, that’s how I got the inside scoop. It’s completely hushed up outside. The Caldwells are suppressing the news about his condition. You absolutely cannot leak this!”

“Of course I won’t! The Caldwells have so much power. If Clara co wrath, what chance do ordinary people like us have?”

“I heard the Second Young Master had a drunken one–night stand with some ordinary woman before. Well, now that woman is pregnant with his only possible heir. Talk about luck! She’s hit the jackpot, become the most precious treasure in the entire Caldwell family

now~”

The door closed again, and the voices vanished.

In the stark silence of the stairwell, Luna’s ragged breathing slowly calmed. A dark, calculating shadow fell across her ambitious eyes.

Oriana had swapped shifts with a colleague to attend the summit. The next day, she reported to the hospital on time.

After her previous trending topics with Micah and the hundreds of millions of views from yesterday’s summit, she immediately drew attention the moment she entered the locker room. Several idle colleagues gathered around, offering smiling congratulations. Even those who had previously been close to Luna now wore ingratiating smiles, unusually chatty and friendly towards Oriana.

“Oriana, you’ve been so low–key! Turns out your husband is the chief engineer at the Research Center!”

“Yeah, to achieve so much at such a young age, he’s incredible.”

“The whole internet is praising Mr. Caldwell as a genius now! What’s it like being married to one?”

“But Mr. Caldwell seemed so aloof on TV. Is he that cold in everyday life too?”

“Pfft, work mode is totally different from home mode! Remember when they were photographed on Valentine’s Day? Mr. Caldwell looked unbelievably gentle with her!”

“Oh, right! How could I forget! Oriana, you’re so lucky to have such a wonderful husband!”

“It just occurred to me! Didn’t Luna boast before that her fiancé, Grant, was likely to secure our hospital’s SmartMed Project? But then it suddenly switched to a collaboration with the Research Center. Read between the lines!”

“Wow, it had to be Mr. Caldwell. Stepped in and instantly outshone Grant!”

“True experts with real skill don’t need to boast; their work speaks for itself!”

“Tsk, who knew Mr. Caldwell was the cold–on–the–outside, doting–husband type? With our lucky star Oriana here, our SmartMed Project is destined to be the best in all of Jindiwood!”

“Absolutely! With Mr. Caldwell personally leading it, who could p

compete?”

Oriana wasn’t skilled at socializing. Besides Lily, she rarely interacted much with colleagues. This sudden, enthusiastic attention left her feeling awkward and unsure how to respond. She could only change her clothes stiffly, offering strained smiles in return.

Fortunately, the crowd didn’t seem to need much input from her, happily carrying the conversation themselves.

Before long, someone called out from the doorway, “Dr. Sterling, you have family visitors.”

Seizing the chance to escape, Oriana excused herself with an apologetic smile and squeezed through the group.

A young intern nurse who had relayed the message said, “Dr. Sterling, three people are here for you. I directed them to Injection Room 1. Could you please start the sterilizer there after you’re done?”

Oriana nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

She turned into Injection Room 1 and pushed open the glass partition door. The three

people inside immediately stood up and looked her way.

“Oriana.”

Bramwell’s face was plastered with an unnervingly amiable smile.

In all her life, this was the first time Oriana had seen Bramwell direct such an expression at

her.

Especially after they had welcomed Luna into the Sterling family, both Bramwell and Evelyn had stopped showing her any kindness.

This current demeanor was utterly unprecedented.

“Did you need something?” Oriana’s tone was flat.

In truth, she had already guessed it was them on her way over.
