Chapter 14: Confrontation and Consequences

(Elena’s POV)

I stood in the institute corridor, my voice cutting through the air like a silver blade “You made me go to a business dinner, tricked me into someone else’s private room, and even had them force moonlight wine on me and drug met

My eyes locked onto Sophia’s face, watching for any c***k in her facade. Healer Sophia’s methods are truly despicable”

The pack nurses gathered around us whispered among themselves, their voices rising in disbelief I could hear fragments of their conversations.

“Did Elena really say that?”

“Sophia would never do such a thing…

Sophia’s face changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself. “Healer Elena. I don’t know what you’re talking about. There must be some misunderstanding.”

I pulled out my phone, scrolling to the message thread from yesterday. “Here’s the false room information you sent me last night.”

I held the screen toward the growing crowd. “I can have the territorial officials verify the truth. They’ll confirm no business dinner was scheduled.”

Sophia’s eyes darted around nervously as she realized her lie was crumbling. Then she spotted someone approaching from down the corridor.

Her expression shifted to desperation. She suddenly grabbed my hand, trying to force it toward her face

“Elena, please don’t hit me again!” she cried out loudly. “It was all a misunderstanding! I must have read the room number wrong!”

I tried to pull my hand away, confused by her sudden change in tactics. “What are you doing?”

But Sophia had already positioned herself near the staircase. As I yanked my hand back, she deliberately threw herself down the steps.

The sound of her body hitting the concrete echoed through the corridor. Everyone gasped in shock.

Pack Nurse Rachel rushed forward. “Someone call for emergency healing!”

Other healers gathered around Sophia’s crumpled form at the bottom of the stairs. I stood frozen at the top. my hand still extended from where she’d grabbed it.

Director Henry Baker arrived with several institute leaders just as Sophia was being helped up. Blood trickled from a cut on her forehead.

“What happened here?” Director Henry Baker demanded, his eyes moving between me and Sophia.

“Elena pushed her down the stairs!” one of the witnesses exclaimed.

“I saw it with my own eyes!”
