Chapter 442 To The Bitter End

Tilda wanted to confront Dr. Garner, but she dared not utter her doubt. Those words got stuck in her throat.

The doctor dared not look at her and averted his gaze.

Panic began to consume Tilda. She had no idea why Dr. Garner would turn his back on her at this crucial

moment.

Amid her confusion and flustering, fearing her deeds would be exposed, beads of cold sweat formed on her face.

Neera coldly observed her reactions.

Wearing a sardonic smile, she taunted, “Cat got your tongue? Or perhaps your earlier claims were unfounded, and now you’re at a loss for words?”

Tilda clenched her teeth, unwilling to acknowledge that her plot had been exposed.

“Who’s feeling guilty now? What kind of nonsense is this? I didn’t defame your company. Your company’s products caused my allergic reaction. Weren’t the previous reports evidence enough? I don’t know what went wrong with this examination.

In her panic, she made a false counter-charge and blurted, “This report is suspicious! It has to be tampered with!”

Neera, observing Tilda’s unwillingness to admit her wrongdoing, coldly retorted.

“Remember, Ms. Wilcher, aren’t you the one that handpicked this hospital and this doctor? I’d double-

confirmed the choices with you, and you were insistent on your choices. How can you argue that the report is manipulated?”

Neera’s counter made sense.

Tilda choked on her words. Her face was drained of color.

Left with no other option, she attempted to turn the tables, saying, “Of course I chose them. But what does that prove? For all I know, you could have schemed with the hospital or the doctor afterward!”

Her lack of shame amused Neera.

“Conspire? Ms. Wilcher, I should be the one asking you. Using relatives to produce misleading reports, spreading them on the internet, creating a scene here, and unjustly blaming my company. Who’s behind all of this with you?”

The revelation stunned Tilda. She stammered, “How did you find out?”

Neera looked at her icily and clarified, “You want to know how I pieced it together? Wondering why your family member turned away from your scheme?”

Tilda locked her eyes on Neera, struggling to come up with words.

Neera went straight to the point, “It’s simple. He had violated medical ethics by falsifying the report!

And he was under the close watch of Dean Floyd. Did you think he’d do anything reckless?”

As she spoke, a middle-aged gentleman emerged from the other door of the examination room.

Those in attendance instantly recognized him. It was none other than Dean Floyd of Summerhill Hospital.

Dean Floyd wore a stern expression, shot a piercing gaze at Dr. Garner.

Dr. Garner shuddered, dared not make a noise, was scared, and regretted his decisions.

If I knew things would escalate to this point, I wouldn’t have falsified the report for Tilda.

Tilda was frightened at this point.

Dean Floyd was a renowned figure in the medical field, known for his high moral standing.

He was known for treating patients who couldn’t afford medical bills, earning an outstanding reputation for his integrity.

Tilda never anticipated that Dean Floyd would get involved with this. He was not the type of man who would tolerate any misconduct.

Neera continued calmly, “If you suspect a conspiracy and they set up a trap for you, why don’t you choose another hospital now? We’ll have another examination, and you still get to pick the doctor.

What do you think? Or you’d prefer a different city? We’re ready to cooperate.”

Neera’s aura intimidated Tilda. She was clueless as to how to respond.

Any attempt to argue seemed pointless.

Deep down, she was well aware of the root cause of her allergy. Regardless of which hospital she turned to, the outcome would always be consistent!

Her expression froze. Her eyes were brimming with desperation.

At last, she lashed out, “So, you think you can bully me because of your power and wealth? Did you bribe all the hospitals? You wanted me to undergo this examination just to trap me! I shouldn’t have believed your lies! You’re a fraud!”

Neera couldn’t help but be amused.

‘She has lost her mind! She has such audacity to play victim!’

Neera’s eyes darkened momentarily with this newfound information.

She subtly glanced at Tilda, who sat next to her.

Tilda was restless. She slightly dipped her head and was oblivious to Neera’s gaze.

Neera withdrew her gaze and replied in a normal tone, “Hmm, I understand.”

Jean asked, “Would you continue to take her there?”

Neera answered resolutely, “Certainly.”

The shadier this entire ordeal seemed, the more satisfying it would be when she set things straight.

Reading her thoughts, Jean suggested, “Should I step in and keep her relatives out of this?”

Neera dismissed the idea, replying, “No, let him try.”

Hearing this, Jean asked puzzledly, “Why? Aren’t you worried he’ll forge another fake report?”

It was inconvenient for Neera to speak on the phone.

She answered evasively, “I’ll explain on WhatsApp. I’m almost at the hospital and about to get off now.

It’s inconvenient to speak on the phone.”

Immediately after, she cut off the phone and sent a message to Jean.

“She’ll definitely choose her relative to examine her. If I object, it might raise her suspicions, and she could twist the situation against me. It’s best to play along and let her think she’s in control. However, the examination report should be fair and square.”

Jean grasped her strategy instantly and responded, “Understood, I’ll prep things accordingly.’

In about ten minutes, they reached the hospital and went directly to the dermatology depa

Staying true to her word, Neera courteously asked Tilda, “Ms. Wilcher, which doctor would you prefer for the assessment?”

Predictably, Tilda chose Dr. Garner, her relative, to conduct the examination.

Neera didn’t display any reaction. She went along and followed them to the examination room.

Before the examination began, Neera asked Tilda again to clarify, “Are you certain about choosing this doctor for the examination?”

Tilda gave her a strange look and asked, “Of course, why are you asking?”

Neera smiled gently and said, “Just making sure. I’ve respected your choices all along, from the hospital to the doctor, Now, we’ll wait for the report.”

She then turned to the doctor and told him softly, “Doctor, you

may start the examination.”

Dr. Garner was uneasy; sweat was forming on his forehead. He dared not display any signs but proceeded with

the examination for Tilda.

The whole procedure took more than half an hour.

While Neera and her team were waiting outside, she received another text from Jean.

“lan discovered she had dined at a seafood restaurant recently. The very next day, she sought medical attention. This woman is probably allergic to seafood.”

Neera connected the dots and got the full picture.

She replied, “Thank you. I know what to do.”

A few moments later, the medical examination report was ready.

Tilda appeared much calmer now, believing she had constructed the perfect scheme without letting any detail slip through.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement and smugness, envisioning the compensation she assumed was soon to be hers.

Neera missed the look in her eyes.

She picked up the examination report and read through it.

The blood tests were normal. However, in the allergen column, the words “seafood allergy” stood out.

This aligned perfectly with the information from Jean.

Neera sneered coldly.

She handed over the report to Tilda and said icily, “Humph! Ms. Wilcher, don’t you think you owe everyone an explanation?”

Initially, Tilda didn’t pay any attention to her question. She replied defiantly without even glancing at the report.

“How dare you seek an explanation from me? It’s your company that should be answering. This report proves that I had a reaction to your product. If you don’t provide compensation, what more do you want from me? I’m warning you if you try any more tricks, I’ll use this report to sue your company!”

Neera snickered and waved the report, stating, “This report indicates your allergy to seafood. Are you blindly accusing us without checking the report? You owe me some answers.”

Tilda, realizing something went wrong, snat ched the report from Neera.

Her eyes widened in shock when she read the words ‘seafood allergy’.

Thunderstruck, she glared at Dr. Garner in disbelief.
