Chapter 312 Poor Child

Adelaide was fuming as she read the online news.

"These media outlets, how dare they write such nonsense? Chloe, don't worry. I'll call Juliet right now and have her handle this," she said, her voice filled with anger.

Chloe had seen Juliet's PR skills in action before. Whenever Juliet stepped in, she had a way of keeping things from blowing up online.

But if Juliet suppressed the news, Chloe would be labeled as an attempted murderer.

Chloe didn't want to be wrongfully accused.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Auntie, there's no need for Juliet to step in. Rena texted me saying the police have the surveillance footage from the pool. It won't be long before they release a statement."

"But I'm worried about you being wronged," Adelaide said, her concern for Chloe evident in her voice.

Adelaide had no children of her own and had long considered Chloe her own daughter.

"Auntie, the truth will come out. Innocent people will be proven innocent, and the guilty will be exposed. It's better to endure a little now than to carry the burden of a murder accusation forever." Chloe comforted, "Don't worry, the police will clear my name."

Adelaide was convinced by Chloe's words.

Grant had been busy nearby, his expression serious as he worked on his laptop.

Chloe whispered to Adelaide, "Auntie, let's go for a walk."

"Good idea. The doctor said walking would help with your recovery." Adelaide helped her out of bed.

After saying a quick goodbye to Grant, they headed to the hospital corridor for a walk. The Martin Family's bodyguards had cleared the area around Chloe's room, ensuring her safety.
