Chapter 300: Lydia’s crime was exposed
All heads turned toward the doorway, where she stood tall, confidence radiating from her every step. Her presence alone sent a ripple of anticipation through the room. Beside her, a middle-aged man in a crisp white coat followed.
Dylan’s gaze met Ava’s, a flicker of warmth passing between them. His lips curled slightly into a small, knowing smile, and she returned it with a reassuring nod before shifting her focus to the directors.
"This," Ava gestured toward the doctor, "is the physician who has been treating Dylan. He will tell you exactly how his condition is."
All eyes were glued to the doctor, eager to hear what he would say.
The doctor stepped up and started, "Mr. Brooks’ injury was severe, but his condition is not as hopeless as it has been made out to be. Because of the injury in his back, he has this weakness in his legs, but he is not paralyzed. This condition is temporary. With the right rehabilitation and treatment, there is a high chance of recovery. Mr. Brooks is not incapacitated, nor is he unfit to lead this company."
"If you still have doubts, you can check his reports," Ava chimed in, holding up a folder. She then handed the folder to Justin, who swiftly passed the reports along the table.
Silence fell as the directors scanned the pages, their expressions morphing from skepticism to relief. But Lydia sat numb in her place, her eyes vacant.
Ava’s sharp gaze swept across the room. "Do you still have doubts?"
Heads shook in unison.
The senior-most director, who had been one of the most vocal skeptics, placed the report down with a nod of satisfaction.
"The reports clearly state that he is improving," he admitted. His gaze shifted to Dylan. "Mr. Brooks is the most capable CEO we’ve ever had. Under his leadership, this company has thrived. And with the major project we recently secured, we need his expertise now more than ever."
