Chapter 18 We’ll Definitely Find Evidence
“We’ll conduct a thorough investigation and give everyone an explanation, but we’ll need some time to do so,” Emily added.
The people in the crowd exchanged glances before their voices began to die down. Some of the people felt guilty, while some were just there for the drama.
Mallory was right. The area was extremely crowded, and it wasn’t entirely impossible for someone to tamper with the old man’s medication.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Bradley still wanted to stick around to pester Emily, but Mallory managed to get him to leave.
Emily inhaled deeply. When she turned around to talk to Mallory, she caught sight of Gabriel and Amelia, who were now making their way toward her.
While looking incredibly smug, Amelia chided, “Why, if it isn’t our dear Dr. Sterling. What? Did you kill a patient?”
She looked Emily up and down before continuing, “Your medical skills are clearly not up to par. You should know your limits. I think you should just return to Crestmont instead of sticking around here and embarrassing your hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Emily was almost sure that Amelia had orchestrated the entire thing. Hence, she marched toward her and backed her into a corner.
Frightened by her demeanor, Amelia exclaimed, “What are you trying to do? I’m warning you! If you lay a finger on me, Gabe will definitely make you pay!”
Emily stared at her coolly and ignored her threats, saying, “Human life might be a joke to you, but I take the well–being of my patients very seriously.
“I’ll get to the bottom of this. If I discover that you’re the one behind this, you’re never going to get away with it.”
Under Emily’s gaze, Amelia felt slightly guilty. Despite that, she still feigned composure and declared, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Afraid she might accidentally expose herself, she shoved Emily away and hastily fled the scene. Before she left, she even called the latter a psycho under her breath.
Mallory frowned. “What if Amelia covered her tracks really well? This incident has made the local news. If we don’t manage to find any concrete evidence, I’m afraid the locals will become extremely angry.”

Emily scoffed. “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely find evidence.”
Since Amelia had bribed Bradley and Viola to do her bidding, Emily was certain that they would meet up with each other again.
2/3
Just as Emily had predicted, the couple went to look for Amelia at night. The trio had agreed to meet up at the back alley of the hospital.
Amelia pulled her luxury coat tighter around herself. Grimacing, she asked impatiently, “How confident are you that this will work?”
Viola grinned deviously. “Don’t worry, Ms. Waverly. If we insist that Emily Sterling is the one who hurt my father–in–law, her reputation would definitely be ruined!”
Amelia pulled out her phone and tapped on the screen a few times. “Very well. Remember not
to mention me, or else…”
When Bradley saw the amount that had just been deposited into his account, his

we promise!”
Amelia’s lips curved up into a satisfied smirk before she turned to leave. She wanted to get out of this dirty place as soon as possible.
To her dismay, a figure emerged from the shadows as soon as she started to walk away. The
person who had shown up was Emily.
Emily approached Bradley and Viola, placing her hands in her pockets. “I heard everything. Confess to the reporters, and I’ll consider letting you two off the hook.”
While holding each other, the couple immediately began to back away from her.
“What is there to confess? You’re the reason my dad is in this state right now!” Bradley barked.
Upon seeing how stubborn they were, Emily pulled out her phone.
The screen showed a video recording of their transaction with Amelia earlier. Emily had recorded their entire conversation!
Viola was the first to realize what was going on.
“D–Did you secretly record our conversation?” she exclaimed in disbelief.
Panicking, Bradley tried to reach for Emily’s phone as he yelled, “Delete it! Delete that video right now!”

Emily looked unfazed. “Everything has been backed up online. Nothing will change even if you manage to delete the video from my phone.”
Bradley and Viola paused. Subsequently, they exchanged glances before their expressions hardened.
While Emily was distracted, they swiftly ran up to her and clasped a hand over her mouth. Then, they proceeded to drag her toward an abandoned factory nearby.
