Ruben was shocked, unable to utter a word.

Not even the hospital director knew Curtis’ wife was one of his hospital employees.

Without his help, Sandra wouldn’t have landed a job at any top-tier hospital, let alone this

опе.

This year, the competition for the promotion was fierce due to the high number of applicants, making spots scarce. Leanne’s credentials should have clinched her promotion, but Ruben had deliberately knocked her out with his agenda. He knew it and ignored it.

But he never expected this unassuming young lady to have such a striking ace up her sleeve!

Why hadn’t she mentioned her connection to the Richardson family earlier? For three whole years, she kept it under wraps. How?

Accusations of foul play were being thrown directly in his face. The director wasn’t a fool. He could read between the lines of Curtis’ pointed remarks.

The director’s face darkened. “Mr. Richardson, there must be some misunderstanding!” he protested with a grave voice. “The promotion process at our hospital is subject to strict scrutiny. There is no room for any kind of underhanded transactions. Favoritism has no place here, and every competent doctor receives what they rightly deserve. However, considering the presence of doubts regarding the process, we’ll void this year’s results in the interest of fairness!”

Sandra panicked. “Uncle!”

A stern glance from the director froze her in her tracks.

What was she thinking, calling him ‘uncle’ at a time like that? It was way out of line.

“We’ll have a new round of evaluations, with everything out in the open to ensure transparency and fairness. I stake the hospital’s reputation on it. There will be no corruption on my watch!”

But Sandra wasn’t having it. She stamped her foot in frustration. “Uncle, how could you do this? You promised me…”

With a warning look from the director, Ruben quickly muffled Sandra’s protests and

dragged her away.

Wearing a genial smile, the director turned to Leanne. “Dr. Castillo, rest assured. I’ll see justice done.”

Justice from him? That was the biggest joke ever. But Leanne could only reply politely. “Thank you, Director.”

Then, the director addressed Curtis. “Mr. Richardson, are you satisfied with this

resolution?”

Ever the charmer, Curtis flattered him. “It’s a relief that the hospital has a director of principles and righteousness. With you in charge, who would dare exploit their position and mistreat my wife?”

The message was clear that he was watching, and the director better not slip up.

“Don’t worry,” the director assured him, “Dr. Castillo, come straight to me if anything like this happens again. I’ve got your back.”

With the pleasantries exchanged, the director was eager to leave. “Mr. Richardson, I have an important meeting, so I must excuse myself now. Dr. Castillo, would you mind showing Mr. Richardson around our facility?”

No sooner had the director left than Leanne pushed Curtis away.
