Chapter 91
What I found strange was that the Newton family hadn't joined in this fight. Weren't they the ones who were always so eager to attack me when things like this happened?
What I didn't know was that they hadn't joined because they had missed out on the news before.
"Ten thousand trolls have been bought and are ready with hate comments. They're all set to destroy him!"
"Let's begin then."
Casey had spent a lot of money to buy these trolls to ruin my reputation. When that happened, Ranford Corporation would never let me keep my position as the general manager. Since I had also been fired from the hospital, it would give Casey the perfect chance.
But the moment the trolls started, they noticed the comments section had already calmed down. When they posted their hate comments, the netizens scolded them instead.
After a while, Casey saw news about my clarification video. She was so mad that her face turned livid. "It's only been a while; how did he manage to clarify things so quickly?"
The trolls also called to inform her of the latest update. Their comments would have been inconspicuous amidst a sea of criticism, but now that everyone was apologizing, if the trolls continued to stir things up, they could easily be caught.
"It's already ended! What use is there in continuing?" Casey huffed and hung up. What a bunch of useless fools!
"But you still need to pay them."
"Piss off!"
……
Meanwhile, I had no idea I had gotten under Casey's skin. At that moment, I received a call from Nadine.
She said, "Hi, Dr. Ranford. Can I treat you to a meal?"
I had given her my number that day and told her she could call me if there was anything wrong with the patient. This was the first time she had contacted me.
"Sure." I agreed. Nadine sent me the address and time. It wasn't far from the office. I waited until after work before heading there.
When I entered the restaurant, I saw Nadine sitting there, waiting for me.
She wasn't wearing her scrubs today. Instead, she was dressed in a casual outfit, making her look intellectual. An elegant woman with loose curls sat beside her.
"Dr. Ranford." Nadine stood up to greet me when she saw me.
I gave her a nod, then looked at the woman. "And this is?"
She said, "She's my best friend. She's also somewhat involved in the medical field. She's got nothing to do now, so she wants to start a business."
"It's a good idea." I nodded and sat opposite them.
The woman looked me up and down for a while, then suddenly had an epiphany. "You're the fastest CEO in history, right?"
My face darkened. "Just to correct you, I'm the CEO who clarifies things the fastest, not just 'the fastest CEO'. Don't leave out any details, okay?"
She couldn't help but laugh, her shoulders shaking. Then, she said, "I'm Kylie Smith, but you can just call me Kylie."
She reached out to shake my hand. With a wink, she also tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear, looking kind of seductive.
"Ms. Smith." I didn't go straight to a first-name basis since this was my first time meeting her. It wouldn't be nice of me to address her casually.
"So, what's the occasion today?" I looked at Nadine.
She explained, "Since that day, the Newton family hasn't sent anyone to the hospital. I heard they gave up ownership of the hospital.
"Kylie wants to bid on the hospital, but I heard that it's only open to companies. People like us can't participate. So, we were wondering if we could ask you for help.
"If you could help us bid on the hospital, Kylie will transfer the money to you, and then you can appoint her as the hospital's legal representative. That's all."
I thought, "Ah, so they want me to bid on their behalf?"
