Chapter 257


    But her entire demeanor today was as if she was clinging onto Jan. I didn''t see any interaction


    between her and Jerome.


    My eyes involuntarily scanned the room, but I couldn''t find Jerome anywhere. In fact, ever since I


    returned to the grand hall, I hadn''t seen him at all.


    I looked at Jan, his handsome face now as cold as ice.


    "Security, get her out of here!" Jan barked out with an authority that demanded respect.


    At hismand, several security personnel approached and rather forcefully removed the intoxicated


    Renata from where she was hanging onto Jesper.


    It''s worth noting that the security present wasn''t just from Medsafe Liyah Inc., but also included


    inclothes officers dispatched from the local police station, blending in among the guests.


    I saw Mayor Arlen, his face an ashen grey, whispering instructions to one of his burly aides, who then


    walked over to one of the security chiefs. "Get her to the hospital, pronto! Make sure she''s taken care


    of!"


    The implications were clear; Renata was in trouble.


    No surprise there, considering how she had made a spectacle of herself at such an important event.


    Her antics had brought shame not just on herself, but on everyone present. It was inevitable that she


    would face repercussions.


    Jan nced in the direction of Mayor Arlen, visibly thrown off bnce. He quickly whispered


    something to me before rushing off towards the Mayor.


    By now, Hannah had returned to my side. With a steady voice, I quietly asked her, "Is everything under


    control?"


    "Don''t worry," she replied, her voice filled with confidence.


    I watched as the security chief directed a muscr guard to lift Renata in his arms and carry her out. I


    was quietly impressed with his decision to have her carried out, rather than dragged out.


    Once Renata was removed, a spokesperson for the city’s economic department took to the stage to


    briefly exin the unfortunate turn of events, stating that thedy in question had consumed too much


    alcohol and her behavior was inappropriate. He urged everyone to forget the unpleasant incident.


    As he finished speaking, Gevena walked over and murmured, "Looks like another storm is brewing."


    "It''s inevitable," I replied. "Did you catch who she was calling out to?"


    Gevena furrowed her brow, thought for a moment, then turned to me. "I think it was... Jerry?"


    I looked at her, both of us puzzled. "Could it be Jerome?"


    "It''s not that simple," Gevena whispered back. "But Jerome doesn''t seem to be here, does he?"


    "He left earlier," I replied confidently, but did not mention the scene I had eavesdropped on. After all,


    walls have ears.


    Catherine took a phone call, quickly excused herself and hurried off, no doubt diving straight back into


    work.


    Watching Catherine''s hasty retreat, Gevena warned me nervously, "You should brace yourself too, you


    might get pulled into this."


    I gave a wry smile. "Gevena, you think I''ll just be ''pulled'' into this? The online mob hasn''t let up at all.


    Given what just happened, I''m still their main target. They won''t let me off the hook. But, the more they


    stir, the closer we are to the truth. Let them make a fuss."


    Gevena suddenlyughed, eximing, "You really are a tough cookie, aren''t you?"


    I shrugged, "What else can I do? Can I avoid it? I''m the eye of the storm. These whirlwinds are swirling


    around me."


    Just then, my phone vibrated. I quickly picked it up and saw a message from Dr. Dailey. I was taken


    aback and quickly clicked on the link he sent.


    What appeared before my eyes was the test report I had been waiting for.

    I quickly scrolled up to check the final results...
