Chapter 54: The Butterfly (3)

Trigger Warning: Mention of self hrm and s*cide

Upon hearing her classmates’ descriptions, Everly immediately confirmed that this segment of Seradiya’s video was related to the Megan Medical Group — that string of meaningless symbols, she knew it all too well!
Although at the time, when the tooth-related cases led to an investigation of the Megan Clinic, the Megan Corporation had flatly denied any connection between the two, who would believe that? In horror films, nine out of ten big corporations and financial conglomerates are evil, and the remaining one is still pretty bad. Anyone who thinks Megan Corporation is completely innocent would be a fool!
But knowing this didn’t really help.
For one, Everly had no evidence. Back when the dental clinic was already under suspicion, it still wasn’t enough to nail Megan Medical. Now, with only her premonition as a minor girl’s hunch, no one would take her seriously. Moreover, she had no channels; she had no idea whether anyone in the U.S. government was investigating this, and if there was, who the investigator might be.
So she let it be. After all, if this were a horror movie, as long as it wasn’t the end-of-the-world kind, there would always be a male and female protagonist who eventually solved everything. Until then, all she needed to do was protect herself.
While thinking this, Everly scanned the people around her.
