They Framed Me for Trading Then I Took Their Hospital Novel - Chapter 23

Chapter 14 The Whitmore Group's deal collapsed. The reason? Chase had picked a fight in public. The potential partner thought he was unstable and chose to walk away. "I'm sorry." Nora apologized as she dabbed iodine on Dominic's wound. "I only suggested provoking him because I was out of options. I didn't think he'd lose control like that..." Dominic looked at her steadily. His throat bobbed, but his voice remained calm. "It's fine. What he did... really was inexcusable." Nora was a little surprised. Dominic added, "But your idea worked.

Provoking Chase to make a scene was far more effective than our original plan." A bright smile spread across Nora's face, lighting her up from within. It landed squarely in Dominic's heart. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually... I think we can keep using this strategy." "What do you mean?" Nora didn't quite follow. Dominic looked a bit awkward. "I mean you telling people you're my fiancée." "Oh, Nora nodded. "Faking a fiancée thing-sure, makes sense." "It's not pretending." Dominic cut in. "What I mean is... you can say it to others. But maybe you could...

also consider making it real." Nora looked up at him in shock. Dominic quickly turned his head, his ears flushed red. I... you... Nora stumbled over her words, utterly flustered. "Let's talk later!" she blurted, practically fleeing the room. She hadn't expected Dominic to harbor feelings like this for her. Their mutually beneficial partnership had suddenly taken a sharp turn. She needed time to process.

Meanwhile, back at the Whitmore residence, Chase had just received a contract termination notice from his former business partner-along with divorce papers delivered straight from the County Clerk's Office. Chapter 14 20.35% Playlet The documents clearly outlined the division of assets and custody of their daughter. Assets: split fifty-fifty. Custody: awarded to the innocent party. At the bottom of the page was Nora's fingerprint, red as blood, stabbing straight into Chase's eyes. He still refused to believe she had really left him. That she would leave him for another man.

How could she be so heartless? Had she truly forgotten all their promises? The vows they'd once made? That cold, ruthless woman. A flicker of vindictive light flashed in his eyes. "Get me all the videos and pictures of her," he ordered. "The beach photos, the bedroom shots, everything-especially the one where that guy was groping her. Upload them. Make them blow up. Let the whole damn world see." Let's see if she'd still act so high and mighty after this. At the same time, at the Faulkner estate- Nora nearly passed out when she saw the videos. Her hands trembled as she called Chase.
