Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 116

Director Thorne chimed in, "Mayor Valerius is still in the ICU, and now his son is injured. If he wakes up and finds out about this, our hospital is going to be buried!"

"Tristan is the one who committed the assault," Sloane stated calmly. "If anyone is being held accountable, it should be him."

Director York practically exploded. "If you hadn't been stringing the mayor's son along, would Tristan have attacked him?"

Stringing him along?

"I heard that on the very first day the mayor was admitted, you were eating dinner with his son in the cafeteria," Director York sneered. "Do you think you're some irresistible goddess? Do you expect every man in the world to orbit around you?"

Director Thorne added, "Exactly. I heard you've already been to City Hall to get married. As a married woman, tangling yourself up between two other men is entirely inappropriate."

Sloane didn't even know how to respond to the sheer absurdity.

Director York was gearing up to berate her further when his assistant burst into the office, out of breath. "Director! The police just arrested Tristan. Miles Valerius pressed charges."

"What?!"

*

Miles firmly insisted on pressing charges and flat-out refused any form of mediation.

Furious and desperate, Director York summoned Sloane again.

"You caused this mess. You go beg the mayor's son to let my boy off the hook, otherwise..."

He didn't finish the threat, but Sloane knew exactly what he meant.

Left with no choice, she contacted Miles.

Miles was still at the hospital, giving his statement to the police.

He looked surprised to see her.

"Are you here to give a statement too?"

"We need to talk," Sloane said.

After finishing with the officers, Miles stepped out to speak with her.

"Sloane, I heard Tristan is your hospital director's son, right? Does he use that against you often?"

"I can handle him," Sloane replied.

"You can handle him for now, but not forever. A scumbag like him needs to be taught a lesson."

Miles spoke with absolute confidence and authority.

Growing up in his position, he had clearly never had to worry about his career prospects.
