The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 67: She Said Yes!
“My clients were humiliated. Your
hospital purposely circulated a letter via email, suggesting that Doctor Shant and
Doctor Scott were dismissed due to
political gains,” the lead counsel firmly said. She gave the opposing lawyer copies. of the said email and added, “We want five
million dollars as compensation for defamation and a public apology through print or TV media.”
“If you choose not to cooperate, we will
bring this case to court, where your
clients will spend twice more and still
make that public apology. Remember how Warlington Hospital already had a reputation for manipulating the organ waitlist? That
alone has reduced your
clients’ credibility,” the impressive lead lawyer said. She laid out all the
documents and pointed them out. “You
forget that Doctor Scott has copies of the entire promotion election.”
“Your choices were Doctor Park, the same woman whose surgery failed, resulting in an additional lawsuit. The second was
Doctor Lewis, the same doctor who
finished third to Doctor Shant in
Warlington Medical School, who later
made surgical errors following his transfer to another hospital,” the lawyer
added.

“Your third option was the general surgeon, but he had not performed a heart surgery,” the lawyer conveyed with a sneer. “Is it
not true that the basis of
promotion was the surgeon’s experience? Regardless of the relationship between
Doctor Shant and Doctor Scott, who had
the best qualifications?”
She turned to Doctor Hale, who was also present during the meeting, and the said surgeon confirmed, “Doctor Shant was
Chapter 67 She Said Yes!
always the best candidate. No one else was as good as her.”
Everyone was inside a conference room in a local law firm in Warlington. William, Shantelle, and Evan flew back to Warlington to
bargain their case against
the hospital.
Their lawyers were fearless, top-notched, and hired all the way from the best law firm in Braeton City. The lead counsel was a
woman, but she held the most authority during the discussion. Her name was Scarlett Wright. 12
The opposing lawyers discussed amongst themselves, including representatives of the board from Warlington Hospital. They
went at it for minutes, and Scarlett warned, “Keep wasting our time, counsel, and we will add our professional fee to the
compensation request!”
“We agree to your conditions,” finally the
opposing lawyer said. “And we would like
to let Doctor Scott and Doctor Shant know
that the board had no involvement in
Doctor Wester’s actions. He was
terminated as CEO, after last week’s hearing of the organ manipulation case.”

“That’s good to know,” Doctor Scott said. “He deserves the same conditions he gave
us.”
Not only did Warlington Hospital agree to the compensation request, they had urged Shantelle and Doctor Scott to return to their
facility, but the two doctors refused.
Evan helped by adding justification, While the case against the mayor is still ongoing, I don’t think it is safe for them to work in
Warlington. There is no
assurance that the mayor will not
retaliate.’

“Then, it is our loss,” the opposing
lawyer said. “Again, we apologize for
what happened. We are glad that we met. halfway without going to court.”
They finalized the deal, and each party.
signed the agreement.
When the meeting was over, Shantelle and William, including Evan, thanked the lawyers who assisted them.
“It’s a pleasure to be of service,” Scarlett said, extending her hand to them.” Though my work is not done here. My team will work
hard to put the mayor
behind bars.”
“Please take care of yourself, Scarlett. He is a powerful man and could potentially hurt you too,” Shantelle pointed out.
“Oh, I’m not afraid of him. If he hurts
me, he will be in bigger trouble.” Scarlett winked, saying, “Trust me. I have a military backup.” 3

“That’s why I hired her. She can protect herself,” Evan pointed out. “Her husband is the CEO of the Diamond Hotels, and they
have connections in the military, where the mayor has no influence.”
Shantelle happily shook Scarlett’s hand, saying, “You are amazing, and I thank your husband for your support.”
“Thank you, Misses Wright,” After Shantelle, Doctor Scott, also shook
Scarlett’s hand.
Scarlett then extended her hand to Evan, but the man only narrowed his eyes. He reminded Scarlett, “I know I hired you, but I’m
sure you recall my number one rule.”
1 “Oh.” Scarlett quickly retreated her hand, saying, “My apologies, Mister Thompson. I forgot. Though, I have seen you hold
Doctor Scott -”
“She’s the only exception to the rule,” Evan said coldly.
“Oh.” Scarlett chuckled. “You remind me of my brother-in-law.” She winked at Shantelle and said, “He’s a keeper.” 3
Nearly a month had passed since the Scotts relocated to Rose Hills. Many relevant events transpired, but they mainly occurred
in Warlington. Thanks to Evan’s efforts in investigating the mayor, it was later revealed that Peter Haris was employed by the
mayor to see through Briana West’s needs. Now, the mayor was facing bribery charges and a criminal
case for the attempt on Shantelle’s life.

“Evan, thank you for everything; the lawyers, helping Doctor Hale,
investigating the mayor, investing in a heart and lung center, convincing me
about the lawsuit, being there when I
need you just everything,” Shantelle declared. They were on the plane,
heading back to Rose Hills, seated next to
each other in the front row.

She turned to Evan with gentle eyes,
saying, “I would not have survived all this without your help. This was way more stressful than I could imagine.”
“Are you stressed now?” He asked.
“A little. Earlier, I was nervous before the negotiations,” Shantelle admitted.
“Let me absorb all that stress,” he
offered, leaning in for a hug.
Shantelle smiled and allowed the
embrace. She felt his warmth and the
tightness of his hold. As he wrapped his arms around her, he said, “God, I miss
you so much.”
It was because Evan was away for over a week, traveling to Lockwood and other
cities where his business had expanded.
He only returned after learning that the lawyers were ready with their
negotiations with Warlington Hospital. Before leaving, Evan was also constantly busy, following up with the heart and lung
center’s opening date. He only
visited Lucas at night, sometimes too late
at night, that there was little opportunity
for him and Shantelle to chat on a
personal level.
Evan meant to soothe Shantelle, but he

felt equally relieved to be engulfed in her
scent and to hold her in that way. Still, he
did his best, rubbing her back, hoping she
would feel better.
After pulling away, he asked, “How’s
that? Good?”
Shantelle smiled. She rubbed the back of
her neck and admitted, “Yes. Thank you, Evan.” She paused, looking distantly, and asked, “Are you sure there is nothing I
can do to um – repay you?”
Evan chuckled. He replied, “Don’t tempt me because I will go big on that query.”
“Ask away. I might just.” She maintained. her smile and suggested, “I might just grant it.”
Evan froze. He looked at Shantelle and studied her expression. It did not appear to him that she was bluffing. Thus, he brazenly
asked, “I want a date and a kiss. The kind that’s not friendly. I want time. alone with you, Shanty.”
“Will you grant me that? I’m dying here,” he added, his eyes full of yearning.
Shantelle looked him in the eye. Her smile faded, seemingly in deep thought. Soon, she replied in a soft tone, “Okay. I
don’t know about a kiss, but I’m fine with
a date.”
Evan’s mouth fell on the aircraft’s floor

Evan’s mouth fell on the aircraft’s floor
panels, utterly shocked. In truth, he never expected Shantelle to agree. “You – you said yes?”
“I said yes,” she replied. “You have to tell me about that number one rule, though.”
“You really said yes?” He asked again.
“You want me to take it back?” She asked,
seeing how he doubted her.
“No! You can’t take it back! You already said yes!” Evan responded.
“So stop questioning me and plan for the date!” She ordered, making Evan laugh.
“Oh, I will. You are going to enjoy every
moment! You are going to want to kiss me then!” He declared, his smile reaching his ears.
Shantelle beamed, challenging him. ”
Let’s see about that.”
