At the celebration banquet at Seaville Hospital.

The medical staff who had been dispatched to Oasisvale for the peacekeeping mission had all returned, prompting the hospital to arrange a celebration banquet in their honors

Among the invitees was Kelly, who had risked her life to protect her colleagues during the mission.

Over the past two years, the Lynches had seen rapid expansion. The hospital director, Irene Chasey, was promoted and reassigned to the capital. In her place, a new director had taken over, though in reality, he was nothing more than a figurehead controlled by Beau.

As the saying goes, with a new leader comes a new set of loyalists. Seaville Hospital had once again fallen under the influence of the Lynches.

At the same time, Eric, who had recently returned from an overseas exchange program, received a promotion and continued advancing in his career.

“Kelly is actually back?”

“We always thought she had died in Oasisvale. She was taken by terrorists; it must have been horrifying.”

“If I were in her position, I probably wouldn’t have made it out alive.”

“Captured by those kinds of people … What could possibly come of it? I even heard she had a child with one of them.”

A small group of people huddled together, whispering gossip and false rumors. Instead of showing appreciation for Kelly’s sacrifice, they chose to spread baseless speculation.

People’s true nature rarely holds up under scrutiny.

If this had been two years ago, Kelly might have felt deeply hurt. But now, she had grown used to it.

Used to witnessing the nature of humanity.

Human nature is brutal and unsettling, and after seeing it enough times, it becomes just another part of life.

“What are you all whispering about?” Eric scowled, his voice sharp as he chastised those spreading the

rumors.

Since Eric appeared, instead of restraining themselves, the others became even more eager to please him. “Mr. Gray, we were just discussing Dr. Yeager. She was in Oasisvale, and…

Before the sentence could be finished, another colleague cut in. “Good thing you divorced her. It’s lucky you didn’t want anything to do with her.”

Everyone in the hospital understood that the Lynches were in control, so they scrambled to flatter Eric.

His expression darkened, but with no one speaking in Kelly’s defense, he hesitated to stand up for her.

At the end of the day, he still lacked the authority to challenge the Lynches. He had no choice but to endure.

“Mr. Gray, you left Kelly back then because she was unfaithful while in Solmaris, right? I heard she did whatever it took to survive.” Someone intentionally spoke loud enough for Regina to hear.

Regina’s lips curled in satisfaction as she approached, holding a glass of juice. “Exactly. That woman is unfaithful, and who knows what kind of diseases she might have brought back? She betrayed Eric first, so he had no choice but to leave her.”

“She had it coming. With her ruined reputation, let’s see if anyone dares to marry her now.”

“Yeah, I doubt anyone would want her at this point.”

Just then, Clarissa arrived, smiling as she exchanged pleasantries with the influential figures present.

Her reason for attending today was clear. She wanted to warn Kelly.

In today’s Seaville, her power was absolute, and she ruled with an unshakable grip.

There was no situation that she couldn’t manage.

“Kelly showed up! Kelly actually came!”

“How does she have the audacity to be here?”

“She’s utterly shameless. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t even have the dignity to step outside.”

As soon as Kelly entered, a small group gathered, whispering among themselves.

Clarissa and Regina cast icy stares at Kelly as she walked in, intentionally brushing past Eric. “Eric, your ex- wife just arrived. Aren’t you going to say hi?”

Eric furrowed his brows but kept quiet.

Kelly made her way to her seat. It was a celebratory dinner, after all, so attending was necessary. If she skipped it, Clarissa would assume she was scared.

“Kelly, you shouldn’t have shown up today,” Eric murmured as he walked past her. “Look around. Not a single person here truly wants you present.”

“Kelly, you’ve made quite a name for yourself. Back in Solmaris, you got tangled up with criminals, doing anything just to stay alive. Eric divorced you because of that, and yet, you still haven’t learned your lesson. And now, you’re associating with those people over there. You really have no shame, do you? Haven’t caught any nasty illnesses yet?”

Regina stepped forward, mocking Kelly with a scornful tone.

“Kelly, why didn’t you just stay in the war zone? Nobody here wants you back.” The employees of the Lynches sneered.

Kelly remained silent as she sat at the table.

“Ms. Clarissa, keep your distance from her. Who knows what kind of sickness she might be carrying? You are the future lady of the Lockhart Group, there’s no need for you to sit near someone like her.” Someone spoke up, advising Clarissa to move away.

“A banquet in a hospital, yet it’s this chaotic? If someone walked in unaware, they might mistake this for a gathering of questionable individuals.” At the entrance, Zev stepped inside, radiating sophistication in his tailored suit.
