Chapter 584 The Death Of Me
The nurses’ voices were sharp and clear, which made it easy for Christina to listen in on the conversation between them. She pricked her ears and stared at their backs icily.
“I’ll bet
you a month’s breakfast that the two women online are the ones from Ward 502. Take a closer look. The woman holding the wine bottle is clearly pregnant. The guardian for Ward 502 is also pregnant. Plus, they’re both wearing the same gown.”
“No way. I’m not going to bet with you. Someone on the internet has already revealed the identities of those two women. Birds of a feather flock together. There must be a certain reason those two are the best of friends. Perhaps the pregnant woman isn’t even pregnant with her husband’s child.”
The two nurses were immersed in their conversation about the viral video spreading online that they did not realize someone was standing behind them.
Christina reached over and snatched the nurse’s phone.
“Hey! What are you-oh gosh!” The nurse, whose phone had been taken away, held a hand up to her mouth. Her face was drained of all its color as she stared at Christina in shock.
Christina withdrew her gaze from the nurses to the phone in her hand. She tapped on the video and watched as it played.
The insults and offensive words in the title of the video were eye-catching.
The recording started with Zeila insulting Bailey, and Christina soon appeared on the screen. It showed her raising the wine bottle and smashing Zeila with it. The angle then panned to show Julian taking Zeila away while Nathaniel and Christina covered Bailey. The video ended with the trio leaving the banquet.
There was no narration or subtitles throughout the entire video, but it attracted the attention of many and started trending on various social media platforms.
The majority of the netizens criticized Christina and Bailey. With their identities revealed, the Hadley and Cook families became the talk of the town. Zeila, who had been the first to make a move, however, received pity and sympathy from everyone, so much so that they ignored the fact that she had hit and insulted Bailey.
Christina was trembling in anger. She slammed the phone onto the table, causing the two nurses to jump in fear and shock.
“Let me give you two a piece of advice. Don’t jump on the trend and judge others before the truth is revealed.”
Sebastian had just returned from throwing the trash when he saw Christina reprimanding the two nurses. He scarcely grasped a few of the words she said and hurried to her side.
“Mrs. Hadley, what happened? You must take care of yourself and not get angry.”
Christina took a deep breath and returned to the hospital ward with a cold expression.
Sebastian was not as courteous as Christina. His respectful attitude disappeared the moment Christina was out of sight. It was replaced with a domineering and terrifying aura.
“The hospital did not place you in the VIP ward to sit around and gossip. If you feel humiliated and aggrieved, you can voice your complaints to the hospital. I’ll have someone new transferred over here.”
The two nurses responded in a shaky voice, “We’re sorry, Mr. Taggart. We didn’t say those things on purpose. Please forgive us. We’ll be fired if the director finds out about this.”
Sebastian scoffed. “Leave your explanation to the director!”
He turned around and returned to the ward without a second glance. The nurses started to push the blame on one another as they cried and fought.

The hospital soon discovered and immediately dealt with the issue by replacing those two nurses with
new ones.
Sebastian arranged for the Public Relations Department to remove the trending video and sent people to investigate the person who revealed Christina’s and Bailey’s identities. He worked non-stop for more than an hour before everything was settled.
“Mrs. Hadley, I’ve asked them to remove the trending video. We’ve also found the person who revealed your identities.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s Anya Gibson.”
Anya! Why is it you again?
If it weren’t for the fact that Christina had been busy lately, she definitely would not have let Anya get an opportunity to stir up trouble.
The issue with the Gibson family must be resolved as soon as possible. The branch family, especially, is getting more and more unreasonable, each worse than the other.
“Are there any developments with Madison’s case?” Christina suddenly asked.
Sebastian could guess what Christina was thinking. “Nothing as of right now.”
Christina sneered. “Nothing at all? Then, you should find a way to make progress. Since Anya used public opinion as a tool to bully others, we should let her have a taste of her own medicine. Have the media bring the public’s attention back to Madison’s case and make it a trending topic. It might even bring the police new clues. Hype the case as much as possible and get it to trend for some time. It’d be even better if the Taggart family went to look for Anya.”
Sebastian’s heart trembled when he heard what Christina said. He hummed in response and left the room.
This time, Anya had crossed Christina’s limits. The mess between the four wealthy families-the Langford family, the Forrester family, the Cook family, and the Hadley family-was already chaotic enough. Anya must be seeking death for continuing to stir up trouble.
Sebastian was efficient in his work. Within half an hour, the Public Relations Department had instructed ghostwriters to bump Madison’s case to the top of the trending topics. Several netizens popped out like mushrooms after rain to voice their opinions on the issue.
A post mentioned that someone at the mental hospital had seen Anya leaving Madison’s hospital ward in a hurry on the day Madison died.
With the publication of that post, other uncertain pieces of evidence also appeared on the internet.
Photos and videos were posted, showing that Anya had indeed been at the mental hospital on the day of
Madison’s incident.
The news of Madison’s case immediately pushed Bailey’s incident to the bottom of the trending list.
A sarcastic smirk appeared on Christina’s lips when she saw the effect brought by the trending topic
Let’s
Let’s see how Anya will solve this problematic situation of hers
Anya was lying on the ma*sive bed in the hotel, overjoyed that her plan had been executed perfectly. However, she felt something was unusual when she noticed her name had replaced the video on the trending list.
She tapped on the trending list and scrolled to see that a netizen had posted a thread about her relation with Madison’s case. She jumped in shock and threw her phone away as though she had just seen a ghost.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All of a sudden, there was a violent knock on the door of the room.
“Anya! Open the door!” Nigel yelled from outside. “Open up! I know you’re in there!”
Damn it. Dad must be looking for me because of Madison’s case!
Anya paced back and forth anxiously as she bit her nails, her eyes filled with fear.
“Anya! If you don’t open the door, I’ll have someone tear it down!” Nigel kicked the door in frustration. “Do you not have the nerve to face me after creating such a big mess for me to clean up?”
Bang!
Anya jumped as another loud bang sounded from the door. Her heart was racing, and her ears were buzzing. She took a deep breath before walking to the door and opening it.
No sooner had the door opened than Nigel reached forward to slap Anya.
“You brat! You’re going to be the death of me!” Nigel rushed in and closed the door behind him.
Anya staggered backward from the force of Nigel’s slap, causing her to knock her waist against the corner. of the shoe rack behind her. Tears streamed down her face as pain coursed through her. She dared not make a sound, afraid that it would anger Nigel further.
With Madison’s case gaining the public’s attention again, it would only mean Nigel would be exposed for covering up for Anya sooner or later.
Nigel was already in a difficult situation. He did not mind that Anya could not help him share his troubles. However, he did not expect her to turn his life into a living hell.
“The Taggart family are targeting you like mad dogs. Can’t you just behave yourself and lie low?”
