Chapter 2635

Hearing that, Chloe immediately understood what he meant. He could not allow anyone to lob a grenade at Nicole and get away with it.

“Stop uttering nonsense, how could I harm Nicole in any way?” Ghost Hand argued after he got accused.

“Just because you didn’t want to hurt her doesn’t mean that you can’t or won’t,”

Martin retorted.

“Dr. Wyance, we had paid quite an amount of money for Chloe’s treatment.

Even if this guy, Ghost Hand, can’t cure Chloe completely, I’m sure he won’t cause her any sort of harm,” Miley butted in.

“What I meant here is that this person, ‘Ghost Hand,’ or whatever has been found to demonstrate little to no skill in regard to operating a human being. And yet, here you are, taking a gander with it using Chloe’s life,” Martin reprimanded.

Miley’s face blanched as she listened on. She unconsciously stared at Chloe, crestfallen, as her face scrunched up in anxiety.

Meanwhile, Chloe gritted her teeth. ‘I planted this guy here. Of course I knew he was good for nothing. I mean I invited this ‘Ghost Hand’ guy here for a reason.

Naturally, I would be an idiot to find a qualified doctor for myself. That might just raise the suspicion of others.’

Chloe had taken a long time trying to find the perfect individual suited to perform her operation. Little did she know that Nicole had silently slipped someone in to follow her into the operation theater. That person was none other than Martin Wyance.

Martin noticed that Chloe was taking a considerable amount of time to explain herself clearly.

Then, she desperately turned to ‘Ghost Hand’ for help as she motioned for him to speak, which he did.

“You have to know, it’s not just that I can’t. I was very uncomfortable seeing so many unfamiliar faces in my operation theater. We haven’t even started our operation, yet here we are, locked in more misunderstandings with one another already,” he said.

Neither of them admitted to their faults, and neither of them could identify who the real ‘Ghost Hand’ was either.

However, just as Chloe was about to pin all the blame on Martin, Nicole smirked. “Drop the act.”

Patricia, who noticed that Chloe and Ghost Hand were still adamantly clinging onto their charade, then took a glance at Ghost Hand’s arm. “Since you’ve claimed to be so, then why not come clean and explain yourself here?”

Patricia then flashed out a small cryptocrystalline quartz that had an engraving of the word, Divinity, on it.

Confused, ‘Ghost Hand’ cocked his head to the side, and asked, “What’s that?”

Ghost Hand had the idea that everyone in the operation theater would be suspicious of him, and hence, he had already prepared a laundry list of lies to tell the operation team. However, everything had gone down the gutter once Martin made his entrance.

None of them had the idea that Nicole would follow up on such a thorough routine inspection, nor that she would reveal to them something so bizarre.

Nicole smirked as she raised her eyebrows. “Why? Don’t you recognize it?”

Ghost Hand nonchalantly shook his head as Chloe’s face blanched, though Chloe was unsure of what Patricia had in her possession. However, one thing was certain: she was screwed.

“This is a special James Dade access pass. How could someone like you not even know what this is?” Patricia disdainfully asked.

Feeling the pressure mounting, ‘Ghost Hand’ asked, “Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?”

He was unable to fathom how Nicole could make up such hogwash he had never heard of. ‘I have never even heard of this thing before. How could I know what it is?’

“So don’t you think that just because you are keeping your silence that no one would see through your lies,” Nicole snickered as she looked at Ghost Hand with a sneer before giving Chloe a side eye.
