“Yeah!”
They are from the disciplinary department. Their visit today for inspection was just triggered by a tip-off letter they received. Other than that, there’s no other evidence to prove Cheyenne’s fault.
Arresting someone is the job of the police station, and even if they want to arrest someone, they have to write a report first and submit it to the court. Only after it’s approved can they get an arrest warrant.
Director Hartman knows how to handle things well. Seeing Cheyenne getting angry, he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
“Um… Ms. Weaver, it seems like things are almost settled here. Miss Lawrence still has things to do, why don’t we leave first and come back another day to get more information.”
Director Hartman’s retreat made Jaelynn feel ashamed. She thought Director Hartman was too timid, surely because he was afraid of Cheyenne’s background.
But Jaelynn was not afraid.
She came all the way from the capital, transforming from a general to the head of the inspection team just to catch Cheyenne’s loophole; this tip-off letter was a golden opportunity for her.
She wasn’t going to let go easily.
“Director Hartman, you are mistaken. Although the allegations of bribery and misappropriation of funds are false, it is true that Cheyenne has been giving students special treatment, letting people into the hospital without authorization, right?”
“I think this matter has caused quite a stir. As the director of Hopedale Hospital, her actions are considered an abuse of power, and it should be thoroughly investigated!”
Upon hearing this, Director Hartman felt helpless. He cursed Jaelynn in his heart, thinking she was a fool, and he even questioned how a dumb woman like her managed to rise in the political arena for so many years and become a general.
Was it just because of the power and influence of the Weaver family?
It had to be said that Director Hartman’s speculation was half-right. Jaelynn had reached her current position partly due to her own efforts, but mostly because the Weaver family helped clear obstacles in her path.
Because her career had been too smooth, rising to the rank of general at a young age, and being the only female general in history, Jaelynn had become so arrogant and thought she was above everyone else.
Cheyenne felt her temper today was exceptionally good, even moving herself. If it weren’t for the fact that she was already married and established, she would have loved to fight Jaelynn now and settle the score.
“Ms. Weaver, I do not acknowledge what you’re saying. That’s simply not true at all!”
Jaelynn seemed to have anticipated her denial, so she slammed the evidence she had collected earlier onto the table, her voice sharp and chilling.
“You dare to argue? You’ve been favoring your intern, your brother Sean, these are the proofs!”
Her so-called evidence was just photos of Sean coming and going from the office and the hospital gates, as well as a snapshot of the siblings riding in a car together yesterday.
Oh, and a few crumpled papers.
Cheyenne picked up these paper balls and glanced at them. The titles looked familiar… She suddenly remembered, weren’t these the lecture notes she copied for Sean a few days ago?
She clearly remembered throwing these things in the trash bin, how did they end up here?
The first thought that came to Cheyenne’s mind was a serious one – there’s an inside traitor!
First of all, not many people knew about this matter, except for herself, Sean, and her office assistant Lilah.
Because at the time when she was printing the test papers, the copier had a slight problem, so Cheyenne called Lilah to help her check it.
Sean naturally wouldn’t gossip about private matters, so it had to be Lilah.
Thinking about Lilah, Cheyenne couldn’t believe it.
In her impression, this girl was a simple and studious person, innocent at heart… she believed Lilah was being manipulated.
She would investigate this matter thoroughly later, but for now, she needed to focus on dealing with Jaelynn.
Sure enough, Jaelynn came for her just as she had expected; otherwise, why would there be such strong animosity and continuous targeting against her?
Seeing Cheyenne hesitating without answering, Jaelynn thought she was feeling guilty and figuring out how to turn the tables in her mind. So, she triumphantly threw a test paper in front of Cheyenne.
“This test paper belongs to Sean. His answers are almost the same as the notes you provided, Miss Lawrence… Care to explain?”
Indeed, the test paper belonged to Sean, and Cheyenne had personally given him a perfect score of 98. He should have gotten a full score, but she didn’t want the recently corrected Sean to be too proud.
Slowly picking up the test paper, Cheyenne folded it neatly and placed it back on the table, smoothing out the creases with her hand.
“I suppose, Ms. Weaver, you perhaps don’t care much about studying since you’re a warrior and don’t understand what a lesson plan is.”
“This test paper is the most perfect one among the thirty interns. I was planning to keep it as an example for teaching. Be careful not to tear it with your strength.”
Tsk tsk tsk… Cheyenne was indeed the woman even the President wanted as his goddaughter. Although young, her demeanor was extraordinary.
How could she remain so calm and composed at a time like this?
Jaelynn glared at her fiercely, “Stop beating around the bush and trying to change the subject. You just need to sign this confession.”
Saying that, Jaelynn took out the confession she had prepared earlier and laid it out in front of the woman.
Glancing over the tyrannical terms on it, Cheyenne expressed her disdain, “I won’t sign it. Ms. Weaver, you came prepared, and I can’t bear that responsibility.”
“It’s simple if you want an answer. I admit that I made copies of study materials for Sean.”
As the words fell, the interns eavesdropping outside showed jealousy all over their faces.
Just as they suspected!
Jaelynn showed a hint of emotion. She looked at Cheyenne with a smile, “Since you’ve confessed, it’s easy. Sign it!”
She handed her the pen.
Unexpectedly, Cheyenne slapped the pen away, saying, “I admit to copying materials for Sean, but it doesn’t mean I admit to giving him special treatment.”
Jaelynn was stunned, then slammed the pen to the ground and exclaimed sternly.
“You’re playing me!”
That was a fine pen imported from Glaera. It was unbelievable that she just smashed it as if it were garbage. Cheyenne felt it wasn’t worth it for that pen.
Because she had once handmade a pen for Kelvin, she paid extra attention to this pen.
With a light touch of her red lips, she continued, “I wasn’t playing you. You also said Sean is my little brother. As his sister, what’s wrong with providing him with some study materials?”
