Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Caught Off Guard by a Slap in the Face

“Hope Williams!” Ellie Field shouted angrily, raising her hand to slap Hope Williams across the face.

Hope Williams had anticipated this. The moment Ellie raised her hand, Hope blocked it and with her other hand delivered a loud slap in return.

Ellie Field was completely dazed.

Immediately afterward, someone grabbed her by the collar and pushed her into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

Determined to find trouble, Hope Williams felt obligated to satisfy Ellie’s propensity for provocation.

Ellie Field was dragged by her hair into a stall.

“Repeat what you just said.”

“Hope Williams, bitch, let go of me!” Ellie Field screamed in pain as she desperately scratched at Hope Williams’s arms, attempting to break free.

“Very well.”

As Hope Williams spoke, she forcefully dunked Ellie Field’s head into the flushing toilet.

“Ah! Ah!” Ellie Field screamed shrilly, choking on several mouthfuls of toilet water.

“Keep screaming, use this water to wash your filthy mouth,” Hope Williams said fiercely.

“Help… help!” Ellie Field was pulled up.

Because the previous person hadn’t flushed the toilet, the water was not only tinged with urine but also contained feces. Though her face hadn’t touched it, the feces were less than two centimeters from Ellie Field, and her hair was soaked in it.

The revolting smell caused Ellie Field to vomit violently.

“Bitch! Bitch, let go of me, let me go!”

“Think about how the master treated you over the years, provided you with food and clothing, taught you everything he knew. Without the master taking you in, would you even be alive today? Huh? Even if you’re ungrateful, you shouldn’t curse him like that. That slap earlier was on behalf of the master, Ellie Field, remember it well, and if I ever hear you say anything bad about the master again, I will beat you senseless.”

Hope Williams let go of Ellie Field’s hair, dusted off her hands, and walked out.

The cries from inside had attracted a crowd at the door.

Hope Williams calmly circumvented the crowd and walked over to the sink, turning on the tap and letting the water flow through her slender fingers.

After washing, she leisurely pulled out a paper towel and methodically dried her fingers. Her face had returned to calm, showing no trace of previous anger.

Hope Williams left, leaving behind only Ellie Field’s frantic cries and a crowd of onlookers by the door.

The incident quickly reached Director Woods, and Hope Williams was summoned to the director’s office.

Director Woods sat authoritatively at his desk, while Ellie Field was crouched on the sofa, sobbing pitifully.

A group of doctors stood around, wanting to stand up for Ellie Field.

Director Woods’s expression was displeased. Clearly, Ellie Field had already tearfully reported the incident before Hope Williams arrived.

“Director Woods.” Hope Williams entered calmly, her gaze fixed on Director Woods, without glancing at Ellie Field.

Director Woods gave Hope Williams several meaningful looks, which Hope slightly shook her head at, letting Director Woods understand her stance. He cleared his throat and said, “Doctor Williams, I hear you’ve beaten Ellie, is that right?”

The director’s voice was even, betraying no hint of interrogation.

“Yes,” Hope Williams nodded in acknowledgment.

“Why?”

“She deserved it,” Hope Williams’s voice was calm and steady.

“Ah… then you did well.”

Everyone was astonished, looking toward Director Woods; even Hope Williams was momentarily stunned.

“Director Woods,” Vice Chancellor Wood intervened, reminding that no matter how much he favored Hope Williams, he shouldn’t be so blatant.

Director Woods paused, his tone becoming more serious, “What I meant to say was, Doctor Williams, this is a hospital. If someone really deserves a beating, I’d suggest doing it outside this hospital, alright? It somewhat affects the hospital’s reputation, and dunking someone’s head in a toilet, that’s… you went too far…”

Around them, “Too far indeed.”

“It’s disregarding the cleaners who are meant to sanitize the toilets. Why get your own hands dirty? That’s not right; you need to change this next time.”

Hope Williams gave a slight smile and nodded, “Certainly.”

What?

Director Woods, have you made a mistake? It was clearly Hope Williams who hit someone, yet you are protecting her. At least try not to make it so obvious.

They aren’t human at all.

And Ellie Field, crying so fervently, caught someone’s eye nearby, who then shook their heads.

Though it was cleaned, you could still smell it.

It’s really frustrating.

“Director Woods, you can’t be so biased towards Doctor Williams. What did I do wrong? Might as well just die,” Ellie Field said, making a move to rush toward the window.

Yet someone, despite the stench, stopped her.

“Doctor Cynthia, calm down. Director Woods hasn’t finished speaking. Once the matter is investigated clearly, justice will surely be served,” Vice Chancellor Wood, playing the mediator, conveyed through glances to Director Woods, who didn’t respond.

Vice Chancellor Wood, feeling a headache coming on, walked over and whispered to Director Woods, “Director Woods, your bias could hardly be more obvious—it’s almost as if you’re applauding for Hope Williams.”

“I haven’t done that; I’ve already given her enough face.”

Vice Chancellor Wood…

“This issue has a big impact. She is Cynthia after all. I don’t know what grudge you hold against her, but at least she’s Cynthia. For appearances’ sake, let’s have Hope Williams apologize, turning a big issue into a small one, and just let it be.”

“Why should Hope Williams apologize? I know her temperament. She definitely wouldn’t hit anyone unless provoked.”

This imposter must have provoked Hope Williams.

I’ve given this imposter enough face by allowing her to stay in her position, and you want Hope Williams to apologize to her? Dream on!

“Why are you so stubborn? You’re old enough to know the priorities here…”

“Director Woods, Vice Chancellor Wood, I have something to say,” Hope Williams suddenly spoke.

The two directors exchanged glances and looked toward Hope Williams.

Hope Williams gazed calmly at the desperate Ellie Field.

“I was wrong to hit her, but I had my reasons for doing so.”

Ellie Field choked up, not giving Hope Williams a chance to speak, and immediately cried out, “I didn’t provoke you at all. You hit me for no reason; if you have a reason, say it!”

Ellie Field was sure she was the victim here and had the upper hand.

Hope Williams was just being stubborn now.

Hope Williams took out a voice recorder from her pocket.

Ellie Field’s face turned pale instantly. “What are you going to do?”

“One should always be cautious when dealing with a vile person, right?” Hope Williams said as she opened the recorder under Ellie Field’s terrified gaze.

Ellie Field lunged forward, but Hope Williams shifted her body and dodged smoothly.

“How does it feel to be despised by everyone, Hope Williams?”

“What did you do again?”

“I just told them you declared yourself the head of the department and guess what? Not only did they believe me, but they also supported me to be the head.”

“That’s all the tricks you have.”

“The trick worked, didn’t it? I told you I would take everything from you—status, position, even your man. I don’t see why I’m any less than you. Why should you have what I can’t?”

“Look how pathetic you are now, everyone despises you, and your position as head is about to slip away.”

As the voice fell, the room was in shock!

“Doctor Cynthia, you…”

The slap in the face was totally unexpected.

The people around were still processing.

So, it wasn’t Hope Williams declaring herself the department head, but Cynthia trying to frame Hope Williams, urging them to attack her to benefit herself.

The anger of being manipulated spread among them.

“Doctor Cynthia, why did you lie to us?”
