Reborn to Dodge the Bad Marriage novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 A Bigger Bombshell

Finished

The more Cordelia acted this way, the less Gideon wanted to believe it, and the less he wanted to say anything.

Cordelia gave him a kindly smile. “Just say it. Don’t throw away your bright future because of mc.”

Gideon felt awful. If he spoke up, he’d be letting Cordelia down. If he didn’t, he’d be letting himself down. He was stuck either way.

Cordelia let out a soft sigh, then looked up at Nora. “You don’t need to make Gideon play the bad guy. Yes, I had someone tweak Julian’s test results a little.

“On paper, it made his condition look more critical than it really was. In reality, he was doing a little better, and that gave me enough time.”

Gideon stared at her, stunned. “Dr. Blithe…”

Cordelia gave him the same kind smile. “You’re a good kid. I watched you grow up, and I won’t put you in a bind. I’ll admit it myself.

“And it’s not just Julian’s test results. My motive was exactly what Ms. Sinclair said.

“I did all of this and held off on saving Julian because I was settling a personal score. I wanted her to come beg me. I wanted her to admit she was wrong!”

She looked up at Nora with open disgust. “I’ve held a grudge ever since that day at the Wyndmere, when you gave me five minutes to come apologize to you in person. That was the first time in my life I ever had to run like that, with no dignity at all. It was humiliating!”

With that, she turned to the press and bowed low again. “I’m truly sorry. I did this for my own selfish reasons, and I deeply regret it.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve ever done anything like this. I’m so sorry!”

Cordelia’s frank confession and sincere apology won a lot of people back over in an instant.

After all, she’d done so much for medicine over the decades and saved so many lives. One mistake couldn’t erase all that.

Anyone who hadn’t been hurt by her, and whose own interests hadn’t suffered, was already starting to forgive her.

“Dr. Blithe has been respected her whole life. She’s got the knowledge, she’s got the reputation, and then all of a sudden, someone young enough to be her granddaughter humiliates her. Of course she was upset It’s understandable that she made a mistake.”

“Exactly. She’s given her whole life to medicine. All the good she’s done more than makes up mistake.”

for one

“And now she’s apologized so sincerely. I’m sure she’ll never do anything like this again. Let’s just drop it.”

Chapter 273 A Bigger Bombshell

Finished

The reporters didn’t dare rush any of this out, either. There was no telling whether someone powerful would step in to protect Cordelia, and if that happened, whoever broke the story would pay the price.

“Ha.” In the middle of all the chatter, Nora’s mocking laugh cut through the noise, so sharp and out of place that everyone turned to look at her.

Nora looked up at Cordelia with a sneer. You don’t seriously think a confession and a bow make this all go away, do you?

“And you’re only rushing to apologize because you’re scared I’ll bring up something bigger, not because you’re actually sorry.

“That something bigger is what’s really going on at this hospital! Let’s start with Tanya Ingram. A nurse gave her an abortion pill, and it wasn’t an accident. It was on purpose!

“On top of that, the staff take kickbacks and bribes. They forge patients’ medical records, commit insurance fraud, tamper with test results, and make up illnesses to trick healthy people into having surgery. And they sell organs!”

Each thing Nora said landed like a bombshell, and each one was bigger than the last.

“An abortion pill? The hospital did that on purpose?”

“Forged records, insurance fraud, fake diagnoses, tricking healthy people into surgery, and selling organs?”

It was one shocking revelation after another!

The reporters could tell this was huge, big enough to make national headlines. Nobody at the top would be able to bury a story like this.

In an instant, the reporters shoved their microphones in Cordelia’s face. “Dr. Blithe, is any of this true?”

“The Blithe Institute Annex belongs to your family, and you’re the one in charge. Did you know about any of this? Or did you order it?”

“Is Ms. Blithe involved too? Is organ trafficking part of the Blithe family business?”

The questions kept coming. Reporters were reporters, and they didn’t pull any punches.

Olivia had been interviewed plenty of times before. She’d always handled it with ease and used every interview to build up her image and her reputation.

But this was the first time she’d faced questions like these, hostile questions where one slip could destroy

her.

All of a sudden, Olivia didn’t know what to do. “I don’t know. I’d never… I could never do something like that. And I know my grandma wouldn’t either. Saving lives always comes first for us.”

She sounded nervous and scattered, and she kept glancing at Cordelia.

Cordelia’s face was dark. She looked up and saw a group of people striding toward them from behind the reporters.
