Chapter 60
As Avery read the article, her face grew solemn. It was reported that Lucy had been in a horrible car accident five years ago that left her paralyzed. However, the news had been suppressed by Alexander. Five years later, Lucy’s condition had deteriorated drastically, bringing her to the brink of death. Alexander reached out to the renowned Dr. Annie for his sister’s treatment. At the same time, Alexander secretly arranged for his rumored new girlfriend to meet Lucy, indicating that his sister’s condition was dire.
Although the news was fabricated, the details about Lucy’s critical condition and Dr. Annie’s involvement were true, and both pieces of information were confidential.
’Who could have leaked this information?’ Avery wondered, furrowing her brow.
Dr. Annie’s research team consisted entirely of individuals she had personally trained and selected, and she had absolute trust in them. As for Alexander, he had managed to keep his sister’s condition a secret for five years, which showed that those around him were trustworthy. Regardless, the leak of such information during Lucy’s critical state was to her detriment and showed malicious intent.
While Avery was deep in thought, the headlines of related news stories kept popping up, making her head spin:
"The Moran family receives news of Lucy’s critical condition, demanding Alexander to return to Valemont for questioning."
"Alexander Moran out of reach: Both his and his secretary’s phones are turned off."
"Alexander’s assistant claims the reports on Lucy Moran are false; Alexander is en route to visit his sister."
"Alexander’s legal team sends out hundreds of cease-and-desist letters, demanding immediate removal of false reports about Miss Moran; Alexander reserves the right to sue."
