Chapter 320 Disgusting
“Cora, it is challenging to gather evidence for this situation. Dragging things out would have a negative impact on both you and the hospital,” William said.
He knew Cora was still upset and eager to discover who was behind the scenes, but he could only persuade her not to
cause more trouble.
Cora looked at him resolutely. “You need to get to the bottom of this to eliminate the problem lest it repeats itself again!”
She meant that if she didn’t teach the mastermind a lesson, they would cause trouble for her again in the future.
Furthermore, she worried that others who hold grudges against her might be encouraged to follow suit after seeing that the mastermind faced no real consequences.
“Your approach towards situations and people appear to be quite extreme, which may not be conducive to your future growth and development.”
In truth, William understood what Cora meant and empathized with her humiliation and frustration upon being trampled on and defamed by others.

If a similar situation happened to Jane, the Yoris family would stop at nothing to ruin the reputation of the mastermind and prevent any further harm to Jane.
However, Cora wasn’t part of the Yoris family, so William just wanted to resolve the issue quickly and minimize its impact.
Since Cora wasn’t his daughter, he didn’t think her sorrows
had much to do with him.
“A decision was made regarding this, and it won’t be changed. You can go back to work in the emergency room now. The statement and letter of apology will be issued in the
afternoon.”
Cora was dissatisfied with William’s final decision.
However, she had no choice but to compromise. Lowering her gaze, she replied, “Alright, I understand.”
The hospital didn’t belong to her but to the Yoris family.
Thus, she had no choice but to put her grievances aside.
As Cora was about to leave, William thought of something and added, “By the way, you’re an adult, not a three–year–old child. There’s no need to complain to others about everything. Byron isn’t your parent. You making repeated complaints to

him will only annoy him.”
Cora laughed upon hearing that.
Although it seemed as if William was giving him advice as her elder, he was actually reprimanding her for reporting their actions to Byron, which put pressure on the Yoris family.
In reality, she had never filed a complaint with Byron. He was directly informed of her situation by the men who he had sent.
However, she felt that nothing would come of explaining that to the unscrupulous Yoris family, so she didn’t bother to.
Instead, she retorted, “Am I supposed to keep this from him and allow the Yoris family to do as you wish and ruin my career that I’m passionate about, leaving me penniless and desperate?”
William seemed like he wanted to say something more, but Cora spoke first, “Mr. William Yoris, you don’t need to put on an act to comfort me. To me, you’re no different from anyone else in the Yoris family. You’re all hypocritical and disgusting.”
She rarely expressed her dislike for others so directly, but she was extremely disgusted by and hostile toward the Yoris
family.
She was especially so toward William, who always pretended

to be nice to her but was the driving force behind the Yoris family’s persecution of her. She felt even more repulsed by
him than she did Sara.
Cora didn’t want to look at his face any longer and left the
office without turning back after saying that.
As William watched Cora leave, he felt an inexplicable ache in
his heart.
It was as if something important had been quietly taken away
from his life.
When Cora returned to work in the emergency room that day, many colleagues congratulated her.
There were also some who gossiped behind her back, assuming that she probably slept with the higher–ups, which was why the matter was resolved quickly.
“Cora, either ask the higher–ups to find the person who posted the photo and issue a public apology or thoroughly investigate the matter. It’s awful that their solution only muddled things up.”
Sally couldn’t stand hearing the gossip and had already argued with them several times. When she saw Cora, she couldn’t help but make such a suggestion.

Cora was also aware that the solution was particularly
unhelpful to her. However, she couldn’t stand alone against the Yoris family. Thus, she smiled wryly. “This isn’t anything to be worried about if you don’t let it deter you. Sally, just ignore the gossip. It’s not worth bothering about it.”
“But I can’t shake the feeling that they’re plotting for your
ruin!” Sally was no fool.
Ever since she found out about Cora’s relationship with Byron, she became acutely aware of the Yoris family’s various tactics
to force Cora into a corner.
It was especially apparent during the incident with the sexual photos.
Since they couldn’t pull Cora and Byron apart, they figured they would ruin Cora.
It was natural that Sally grew more and more worried about Cora’s well–being.
However, Cora smirked impassively. “It’s alright. They can make attempts on my life all they want, and if they fail, they’ll just have to watch me grow stronger…”
