Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201

Kala paused for a moment when she saw the reporters blocking her path. Regaining her composure, held her folders a little tighter, stood up straight, and faced the cameras with effortless grace.

the medical field, being conservative isn’t a bad thing,” she answered smoothly. “Every decision we make is about patient safety. The direction Veridian Future has chosen requires rigorous validation at every step. We focus on methods that genuinely improve diagnostic and treatment outcomes. We don’t chase trendy research, we put our energy into saving lives.”

Another reporter quickly jumped in, “Aethelstan Biopharma just announced a massive partnership with Cytogene AG. Is Veridian Future feeling the pressure?”

Kaia offered a polite, unbothered smile. “The pressure is always there, but it drives us more than anything else.”

“Could you elaborate on that?”

The healthcare industry is massive, with plenty of room for different paths. Aethelstan has its specialty, and Veridian Future has its own roadmap. We are both working to create value for patients, so there’s no comparison. The Sanders Conglomerate has many subsidiaries and encourages diversified growth. That’s the ultimate strength of the conglomerate.”

After answering a few more brief questions, Kaia politely excused herself from the lobby and headed toward the conference room.

Within minutes, the live broadcast of her interview completely derailed the smear campaign on the forums. People online were praising Dr. Chavez for her brilliant PR spin. She managed to validate her rivals, highlight her own team’s integrity, and elevate the reputation of the entire conglomerate all at

once.

Kaia usually kept a low profile. Today’s interview sent shockwaves through the medical community. Their elusive tech goddess had finally faced the cameras, and her cool, confident beauty was absolutely captivating.

In the general manager’s office at Aethelstan, Noelle Lawrence watched the playback of Kaia’s interview for the third time.

Kaia’s unwavering composure made Noelle’s face twist with irritation.

Wendy Vance stood nearby, carefully studying her boss’s reaction. “Ms. Lawrence, should we step in and handle that forum post?”

“Hurry up and take care of it,” Noelle snapped. “Our people crossed the line this time.”

“This Dr. Chavez is really something else. I’ve never seen her play dirty like this before. Doing an interview right at this moment? She definitely planned this,” Wendy grumbled, unable to hide her

frustration.

Noelle looked out the window, her eyes clouded with conflicting emotions. She had to admit, Kaia’s counterattack today was brilliant. It was subtle and calculated.

There was no finger-pointing, no bitterness. Every word was carefully crafted to weave the

conglomerate and its subsidiaries into a united front against outside scrutiny

“Draft a response on behalf of Aethelstan immediately, Noelle ordered Wendy. “State that we fully support Dr. Chavez’s remarks. Reiterate that the conglomerate’s strategy is diversified growth among its subsidiaries, and we won’t tolerate anyone trying to sow discord. Tell the public to focus on our technological breakthroughs.”

Wendy blinked, not daring to argue, and quickly left the office.

After wrapping up the corporate meeting, Kaia was stopped by Dexter in the hallway.

“Dr. Chavez, Mr. Sanders would like to see you.”

Kaia nodded and followed Dexter toward the executive suites.

Before she could even knock, the door opened from the inside. Finnian Sanders seemed to be waiting specifically for her.

“You’re here,” Finnian said, his tone as mild as ever, though his gaze lingered on her face a second longer than usual.

“Did you need something, Mr. Sanders?” Kaía asked, keeping her voice strictly professional.

Finnian gestured to the guest sofa. “Have a seat first.”

Kaia walked over and sat down.

“I saw your interview in the lobby an hour ago. Your response was incredibly smart and gracious.” As Finnian spoke, an assistant came in and placed a fresh cup of coffee in front of Kaia.

Caught slightly off guard, Kaia murmured a quick thank you to the assistant.

Finnían looked at her, his dark eyes swirling with complex emotions. “Your statement was perfect. You completely silenced anyone trying to stir up drama.”

Kaia looked down and took a sip of her coffee, saying nothing.

Finnian waved off the assistant’s offer for his own coffee and leaned against the edge of his desk, staring directly at her. “I remember you saying you hated being on camera and didn’t want the public attention. Why did you agree to the interview this time?”

Kaia looked up at him, her expression deadpan. “And what exactly did you expect me to do when someone was taking cheap shots at me behind my back?”

Finnian’s handsome face froze. He clearly hadn’t expected her to turn the question around on him.

He thought for a moment before replying, “You could have told me. I would have stepped in and stopped it.”

Kaia let out a soft, humorless laugh. “Since when have you ever helped me before? How could I guarantee you’d have my back today?”

The words hit Finnian like a physical blow. Her blunt honesty pinned him in place, leaving him completely speechless.

He frowned, realizing with sudden, crystal clarity that the woman demanding a divorce from him was truly packing up and moving out of his world, piece by piece.
