Chapter 1706
[ 556 words ]
But the patient wasn’t dead yet, and Gloria was struggling to convince the family to pull the plug.
The family firmly believed in bodily integrity and refused to donate the patient’s heart.
Gloria’s client was likely growing impatient, leading to a fierce argument with her partner.
The partner accused her of incompetence, while she fired back, calling them reckless and greedy.
“This hospital belongs to Dewitt. I can’t just act recklessly. If you think you can do better, why don’t you apply for a job here yourself?”
“I’d love to see how you manipulate the families!”
Usually, Gloria relied on a mix of sweet-talking and deceit to convince desperate families to abandon treatment, donate the organs, and quietly finalize the sale.
The patient saved the family a massive medical debt while securing a hefty payout. It was entirely consensual on both sides.
She walked away with a massive broker’s fee, and the family solved their financial ruin.
As for the patients, knowing they were leaving their loved ones with a massive nest egg made it easier to let go.
Gloria had no idea her perfect cover was already blown.
When her screaming yielded no response, raw panic set in.
“Is anyone there?! Help!”
Gloria didn’t have a booming voice, but she screamed as if her life depended on it.
Terrified that she was about to be burned alive or carved up for her kidneys, heart, and liver, she lost control and wet herself in sheer horror.
Finally, Stephen threw off his white sheet and sat straight up.
The sudden movement nearly gave Gloria a heart attack.
“Ah! Who the hell are you?!”
Even mid-scream, Gloria demanded answers.
“Didn’t I die?” Stephen asked smoothly, his first words nearly causing Gloria’s eyes
to roll into the back of her head.
It was mind-boggling that someone this easily spooked was running an underground organ trafficking ring!
Stephen was a seasoned
professional. Within a few
sentences, he had expertly
manipulated Gloria into spilling wealth of information.
But the moment Gloria realized Stephen’s true identity as an investigator, her demeanor shifted instantly.
She aggressively backpedaled, denying every single confession she had just made.
Even when Stephen revealed he had the entire conversation recorded, she dug her heels in, acting completely unbothered.
Especially when pressed about her manipulative relationships with the men in the camp, she vehemently insisted they were just obsessed with her and that she had done absolutely nothing wrong.
As for the organ trafficking, she claimed it was complete fiction.
She insisted she just felt sorry for the crying families who couldn’t afford medical bills and was merely offering a sympathetic ear.
If they happened to inquire about selling organs and arranged deals on their own, how was that her fault?
Gloria certainly looked the part of a gentle, caring soul. Her plump, unassuming appearance made her lies sound incredibly convincing.
“We’re in a foreign country. You have zero evidence of these ridiculous accusations,
and you have no jurisdiction to arrest me!”
It wasn’t until Stephen took a harder stance that she finally bared her fangs.
“I will find the evidence. And it
doesn’t matter that we’re out of the
country. As
are a Solenian citizen, your

Stephen knew this woman required a massive, deep-dive investigation.
Gloria was definitely involved in more than just one or two isolated cases.
As of right now, there was a massive risk that she was the one who had sold them
out.
However, Gloria steadfastly denied leaking their location.
She claimed she had no idea who they were and would never target them.
