The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 765

"That's impossible!" I shot back instantly.

There was absolutely no way!

Why would Ferris do something like that for me? He was practically obsessed with fairness and meritocracy. The idea of nepotism disgusted him.

Even if he were willing to bend his morals, he certainly wouldn't have done it for me back then.

Our marriage was ice-cold at the time; we were practically strangers living in the same house.

He hadn't even wanted me to work at Capital General in the first place, convinced I would become a distraction. His grand plan had been for me to play the role of the docile housewife until our contract expired.

He had manipulated everyone around me to keep me at home, weaponizing both Lucille and Vivian against my career ambitions.

I had to fight tooth and nail just to keep my foot in the door.

But even as I forcefully rejected the accusation, a tiny seed of doubt sprouted in my mind.

Was it truly impossible?

Could Ferris have quietly pulled a string in the background?

Suddenly, I wasn't so sure.

"Impossible? I heard it with my own two ears!" he snapped, practically vibrating with rage, the dark skin of his face flushing to a deep mahogany.

He glared at me, utterly convinced of his own narrative. "We had zero headcount. Dr. Yates pulled a spot out of thin air just for you. The entire thing was rigged. At the Azure Springs Retreat, I watched Ferris pull Dr. Yates aside. He thanked her for accommodating you and explicitly asked her to watch your back."
