Chapter 308 Suspended for Investigation

"Then I'll go invite him up. Don't regret if we do something."

Cora looked up at Byron and smiled charmingly, revealing her dimples.

As she said that, she even made a gesture as if she was going to call Tyler to park the car.

But the man pulled her back into his embrace, causing a sharp pain in her sprained ankle again."Ouch!"

Noticing the abnormality, Byron instantly showed concern in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I sprained my foot," Cora replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

Byron quickly squatted down to check her ankle, which was now wrapped in bandages.

He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"I sprained it while walking. Tyler happened to pass by and took me to the hospital,” Cora explained.Byron didn't say anything else and simply carried her back home.

Back home, Cora didn't just sit idle. She started reading books related to business tactics.

"Why are you reading these?" Byron frowned when he saw her reading, feeling somewhatdispleased.

"I'm learning something about business. Maybe it can help you in the future. Isn't it good?" Corareplied without even raising her head

She didn't tell Byron about the assessment because Nora had requested her not to.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Byron snatched the book from her hand, saying, "Instead ofreading these meaningless books, why not help me with something we can do right now?"

"What are you referring to?"

As Cora raised her head in confusion, Byron suddenly kissed her...

Afterward, Cora took two days off due to her injury.

However, the next afternoon, she received a phone call informing her that several photos of herinteracting with different men had appeared on the hospital bulletin board, causing extremelynegative effects on the hospital's reputation, and she must immediately return to the hospital.Reluctantly, Cora hobbled her way to the hospital conference room.

As she arrived, William and other hospital leaders and executives were all present.

The conference table was covered with photos torn from the bulletin board, many of which showedexplicit content.

The faces in the photos indeed belonged to Cora, but the men were either blurred or only capturedfrom the waist down.

Cora hadn't expressed her opinion yet when William came over to her.

"What's wrong with your foot?" He asked.

"It's sprained. Are you happy to see me like this?" Cora retorted coldly, not believing for a secondthat William was genuinely concerned about her.

"Why would I be happy that you're injured? Do you think I'm the one who posted those photos?""It might not be you, but you could have asked someone else to do it, or perhaps Mrs. Sara Yorisasked someone to do it,” Cora replied with icy words.

Then she looked up to meet the hostile gaze of the hospital leaders, who glanced at the salaciousphotos from time to time.

"These photos are doctored, and the person in the pictures is not me. Someone fabricated them toslander me,” she stated, her gaze candid as always.

"How do you prove that these are doctored?" The first to question her was Elwood.

"My figure is better than the one in the photos.” She didn't mean to prove her innocence from thisperspective, but because there were no noticeable birthmarks on her body, it was hard to identify.And the person who handled the pictures had excellent skills, making it difficult to replace any flaws.The only relatively straightforward difference was her figure.

"Talk is cheap!" Elwood retorted.

"Do you want me to undress here to prove it?" Cora's voice was chilling, and even to herself, shecouldn't believe she could sound so cold.

"Given the situation, the hospital's job is to investigate the authenticity of the photos, not tosummon the innocent victim here to ask these irrelevant questions.”

Cora's stern rebuttal silenced Elwood and the others. In fact, they were indeed curious about howcurvaceous her body was since even Byron firmly left Jane, who he had been with for many years.However, this was a public occasion, and if things escalated, they were afraid that Byron mightretaliate and jeopardize their future standing in society.

"Dr. Lane, we only asked you to come here to cooperate with the investigation.”

William added, "I admit that we do have personal grievances, but I promised not to make thingsdifficult for your internship rotations, and this self-destructive act serves no purpose for me. I onlyhope you can let go of your biases and cooperate with the investigation so that we can resolve thismatter as soon as possible.”

Cora smiled faintly. "After all that you've said, I'll still be suspended for investigation, won't 12"
