Regret Novel 27

Chapter 27

“You set me up at that dinner, tricked me into someone else’s private room, even let them get me drunk and drugged.” Charlotte’s laugh was cold, sharp as glass. “Director Winthrop, your methods are truly appalling.”

Across the room, the nurses whispered, exchanging shocked looks. None of them could believe what they were hearing.

Tricia’s face blanched. “That’s not true!”

“Dr. Sterling, the government officials who were waiting last night can all testify–they said you never showed up—”

“That’s because you gave me the wrong room number!”

“I swear I didn’t…”

Charlotte pulled out her phone and thrust it toward Tricia, displaying the messages from last night. “Do I need to get the government staff to

confirm this?”

Tricia froze, her composure cracking. She’d completely forgotten about those messages.

Catching sight of someone approaching, Tricia reacted swiftly–grabbing Charlotte’s hand and yanking it toward her own face, as if inviting a slap. “Dr. Sterling, you’re misunderstanding me. I admit it–I was careless, I must’ve written the wrong room number. You can hit me if you want. It’s my fault you were put in danger. I deserve your anger!”

Charlotte tried to pull her hand away, but at that moment, Tricia suddenly tumbled down the stairs nearby.

The scene left everyone, Charlotte and the nurses alike, stunned.
