The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 327

"I just can't stand seeing her constantly targeting our Zoey! Throwing out wild accusations without a shred of proof. She made Zoey cry yesterday morning, and now that the hospital has uncovered the truth, they're still biting our Zoey's head off. You're just dead set on framing her, aren't you?" Zelda's booming voice echoed loudly through the meeting room.

Having said her piece, she shifted her glare to Leon. "Dr. Lennox, I know you want to protect Dr. Hayes, but even if you're trying to win her over, you can't just blindly frame our Zoey!"

This girl kept calling her 'our Zoey' in every breath, acting as if they were blood sisters. But dragging Zoey into the center of the drama with every sentence—was she really doing this for Zoey's sake?

Leon was furious, his expression thunderous. "Zelda, you—"

"Zelda, calm down. We're all colleagues here. Take a seat," Dr. Hudson suddenly interjected.

Leon's retort was completely cut off.

The HR representative frowned, pressing his hands downward in a calming gesture. "Everyone, please relax."

"Exactly, we're all colleagues. Arguing won't help inter-departmental harmony. Besides, the investigation is concluded, and the perpetrator has confessed. Let's wrap this up without creating more unnecessary drama," Dr. Logan chimed in to smooth things over.

He then turned and nudged me. "Selena, you're the victim here. Say your piece."

Zelda flared up once more. "Are you trying to say Whitney was ordered by Dr. Zeller, Dr. Hayes? Are you trying to make an accusation based on that ridiculous assumption?"

I stared at Zelda's flushed face, remaining entirely unbothered. "I didn't say..."

"Dr. Hayes never made that accusation." Just then, the meeting room doors swung open.

All eyes snapped to the entrance. Ferris stood in the doorway, his voice chillingly crisp. "But you, Zelda, seem particularly agitated today."
