Chapter 658 The Press Conference
Cherise was one of the most promising doctors at Lermille Hospital and a renowned figure in the medical community. Therefore, her involvement in a medical scandal attracted significant attention. It came as no surprise that a swarm of reporters gathered at the press
conference.
Representatives from practically every media outlet in Lermille were present, along with at few reporters from foreign media outlets.
Upon entering the venue, Cherise immediately noticed a few foreign reporters, including a stunning woman with a cool, detached gaze. She possessed a tall, sensual figure and exuded. an air of icy elegance.
At that moment, she sat with her legs crossed, engaging in conversation with a few foreign reporters around her, occasionally emitting a hollow-laugh.
Cherise instinctively clenched her fists at her sides.
Gwenn is here. How long has it been since I last saw her?
She had last seen Gwenn two years ago at their father’s birthday celebration. Since then, Gwenn had started working as a journalist and had only sent gifts for their father’s birthday the previous year.
Therefore, Cherise was surprised that someone as busy as Gwenn would take time off from her international a*signments to attend a press conference in the small city of Lermille, especially considering that Gwenn had always looked down on her for being from the countryside.
Their eyes met as Cherise observed Gwenn. Cherise responded with a sneer while Gwenn shrugged nonchalantly. She glanced at Cherise with disdain before resuming her
conversation.
Soon, the press conference commenced.
Dr. Keeples, the hospital director, initiated the press conference by recounting the recent events before defending Cherise. “Regarding the recording, we have substantial evidence to prove that it wasn’t Dr. Shaw’s voice.”
“How can it not be her voice?” Martha interrupted, “Dr. Keeples, I know you value talent, and Cherise is an excellent doctor, but the evidence against her is solid. You can’t protect her from the consequences of her actions!”
Dr. Keeples furrowed his brow and wanted to respond, but Cherise similed and calmly sand, “Ms. Lane, shouldn’t this question be posed by the reporters?”

Cherise paused before continuing, “Regardless of whether I’m innocent or guilty, you’re my colleague, superior, and senior. Your eagerness to condemn me without concrete evidence seems suspicious, don’t you think?”
Martha was momentarily stunned and realized she had spoken too hastily.
She cleared her throat. “It’s not like that. I just… wish to cleanse the hospital of any malpractice. I… I’m concerned about the hospital’s reputation!”
“If you genuinely care about the hospital’s reputation, you wouldn’t be so quick to judge Cherise as guilty.” Sitting in the front row, Damien casually chimed in when Martha finished. speaking. “As a rational adult, if you truly care about the hospital’s reputation… shouldn’t your be defending Cherise? It would be best if this medical incident had no connection to Lermille Hospital, thereby preserving its reputation to the fullest extent, correct? And yet…”
His deep voice was filled with mockery and disdain as he continued, “Your words and actions. suggest that you believe Lermille Hospital’s reputation isn’t declining rapidly enough.”
Martha was left speechless.
“Furthermore, I heard that you and Cherise have never gotten along, and you’re acquainted with a voice actor named Eirwen.”
The press conference fell into silence.
Martha visibly trembled at the mention of the name ‘Eirwen. Her face drained of color.
