From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 The Storm of Rumors

Rumors were spreading everywhere, inside the hospital and beyond. Some said this, others said that. Nobody could tell what was true or false anymore. But Athena didn’t seem affected at all.

She smiled lightly and said, “I’ll tell you later. Come on, let’s get to work.”

While Athena looked calm and cheerful, Maya was fuming with anger.

That accidental encounter had entirely ruined her good mood.

She thought Athena and Zaden were still giving each other the cold shoulder. But seeing them together–sharing a meal, smiling–was enough to make her blood boil.

Unbelievable!

I have to find a way to kick Athena out of here!

Athena wants to return to the surgical department and actually accepted my challenge. Fine.

But what if Athena failed?

When she messed up during surgery and caused serious consequences, I could swoop in to save the day and completely crush Athena’s reputation.

Even better, I could use public opinion to get rid of Athena.

The more complaints people filed against her, the worse it would get. Maybe Athena would be forced to leave the hospital altogether.

Maya’s lips curled into a cold, satisfied smile. Her mood lifted immediately.

She pulled out her phone and made a call. She asked with clenched teeth, “Did you do what I asked? Is Athena’s story out yet?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Rice,” the voice on the other end said. “Everything’s been handled.”

Maya ended the call. A mocking grin spreaded across her face.

This time, Athena wouldn’t escape her downfall.

Athena had no idea she’d already become the hottest topic online.

She was still busy working when her phone started buzzing. It was Harriet. “Athena! How on earth did you end up going head–to–head with Zaden’s first love? The internet’s going crazy about you two!”

“What?” Athena frowned in confusion.

She had just accepted Maya’s challenge. How did the news have spread this fast?

Someone must have stirred things up on purpose.

“Your name’s all over the news! Go check it yourself!” Harriet urged.

Athena quickly grabbed her phone. Sure enough, her name was plastered all over the place. The last time she had gotten this much attention was during the whole Lewis scandal. Since then, she’d been keeping a low profile.
