After a brief silence, Winter eventually picked up the documents that Fredo had passed to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRight now, she was not just defending her own honor and future—she had to protect all the patients in the building right now, as well as maintain the public's faith toward Zamri Hospital.
If those journalists outside managed to break inside and saw the state of affairs within the building, this major security incident would definitely stir endless waves of chaos.
And as the chief of hospital, Winter would be compelled to resign amid overwhelming criticism, even though Frank had gone through great lengths to get her this position.
She certainly did not want to let Frank down so soon.

"What's wrong, Ms. Lawrence? You look very surprised." Fredo chuckled, but it was clearly faked this time.
Even from his point of view, the demands made in the partnership agreement were ridiculous.
"Mr. Barzini." Winter sighed, pausing to properly phrase her words. "I can accept the condition that Shellan Group would be established as the sole supplier of all pharmaceutical products in this hospital." Then, pointing at the fine print, she snapped, "But what do you mean by the final pricing of all products supplied being up to Shellan Group's discretion?!" "It's exactly what it means." Fredo shrugged and smiled. "Isn't it normal for the retail prices of medicine to fluctuate in the market?" "Normal, you say?" Chapter 1960 1 "Exactly." Fredo nodded, shooting Winter a nonplussed smile. "Zamri Hospital would lose nothing since it's the patient's who pay the bills in the end. And who knows? Your business might prove even more profitable than before." Bang! Winter slammed her palm on the table, biting her lip and snapping, "Fine! I can accept that, but what's this?!" Chapter 1960 2 Thump! Slamming her knuckle on the table, Winter glared at Fredo furiously. "What's the meaning of this?! Hinging the doctors' incon their patients' consumption and on the prescriptions they write?!" "We're simply applying a carrot-and-stick policy." Chapter 1960 3 "In that sense, Shellan Group is committed to paving a road to riches for Zamri Hospital, don't you think?" Seeing that Fredo was actually proud instead of feeling ashamed, Winter felt sick to her stomach.
"You're involved in the medical field yourself! Don't you feel an obligation to honor the ethics for practicing medicine?!" she demanded.
