Chapter 311 Backing Her Up

Chapter 311 Backing Her Up

The nurse's face turned deathly pale as realization struck—this woman was clearly someone important.

The hospital director wasn't just being polite to her; he'd called her 'young miracle doctor.'

Miracle doctor?

Who exactly was this woman?

The nurse stood there completely ignored, frozen like a statue, all her earlier arrogance and carelessness gone.

Finally unable to bear it, she ran off with tears in her eyes.

After apologizing, Josh quickly retrieved what Victoria needed.

Before Victoria left, Josh apologized repeatedly and insisted she come straight to his office next time.

Victoria gave a slight nod.

"Dr. Hall, you don't need to be so formal."

Josh wasn't just being polite—he was genuinely grateful to Victoria.

Years ago, when his eighty-year-old mother fell critically ill, even though he was the hospital director, he'd been powerless to help. Every specialist in the hospital had given his mother three months to live at most. It was Victoria, passing by, who'd saved her.

Now, years later, his mother was alive and well.

All of it was thanks to Victoria. Josh would never forget that debt.

"By the way, young miracle doctor, Mira's been to the hospital several times recently. I've been following your instructions—using the best medications and deducting from the account you prepaid, without letting her know."

Mira's health was acting up?

Victoria's pupils flickered slightly. She quickly suppressed the emotion in her eyes and nodded faintly. "Thank you."

Josh waved his hand quickly. "It's nothing. You're the one paying for everything. I'm just keeping it from Mira."

The Smith family's situation had caused quite a stir in Emerald City. Josh knew some of it.

He thought the Smith family must be out of their minds—throwing out a daughter this good, actually kicking Victoria out of their home.

All these years, if Victoria hadn't been secretly taking care of things, Mira wouldn't have made it this far.

The medications Mira used were all the most expensive herbs—over a hundred thousand dollars a month. Without Victoria covering the costs, the Smith family's current financial situation couldn't afford even a month's worth of medical bills.

And yet the Smith family was so blind they treated Victoria that way.

Josh felt it wasn't worth it for Victoria.

Victoria handed the hospital records along with the video footage from the wedding to her lawyer.

The lawyer would handle the rest. These materials were more than enough to prove Emily had been spreading lies and smearing Victoria online.

Especially that video from Emily's wedding.

The Smiths' shameless demand for half of the Windsor family fortune—the astronomical amount already constituted felony extortion.

The Windsors had only heard that the Smiths were bullying Victoria, but no one had seen it firsthand—until they watched the video.

How the Smiths had pressured Victoria, how they'd threatened her—it was all laid bare.

When the Windsors watched the video, the living room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

Mike's expression turned ice-cold. Apparently it was true—when someone got angry enough, they actually laughed.

Mike let out a cold laugh. "The Smiths have some nerve. Just because they raised Victoria for twenty-something years, they think they can demand half the Windsor family fortune. Why don't they think about how they treated her back then? How dare they try to guilt-trip Victoria?"

The Smiths' disgusting behavior stirred a wave of guilt through the Windsor family.

Amara watched Jennifer's greedy face and the Smiths drugging Victoria. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed with needles, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Her daughter had endured so much alone.

And had never once complained to them about it.

Amara felt both guilty and heartbroken. The day they'd found their daughter, she'd vowed to make it up to her, to take care of her. And what happened?

They still hadn't protected her. They'd let her suffer the Smith family's threats.

She didn't dare think about what terrible things might have happened if Caspian hadn't arrived in time, if the Smiths had succeeded in drugging Victoria.

In that moment, her heart shattered.

Amara's eyes reddened.

"We failed to protect her..."

Simon's eyes narrowed, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Only after seeing this video did he realize what humiliation his precious daughter had endured. They'd gone too easy on the Smith family before.

If he'd known the truth was this ugly, he would've made the entire Smith family disappear.

Simon held his wife's hand, saying nothing.

John's face darkened, his gaze turning cold.

"Some people should disappear permanently."

Simon approved of John's decision.

Some people should've disappeared long ago.

Only Olivia thought the Windsor family was making a mountain out of a molehill. When it came down to it, Victoria hadn't actually suffered any real loss. The Smith family had demanded half the Windsor fortune, but they hadn't actually gotten it.

The whole family with their long faces over this little incident.

Victoria wasn't some princess...

If you asked her, Victoria's spoiled, domineering personality came from a lack of proper upbringing. Someone needed to teach her a lesson and smooth out that temper.

The Windsor family just spoiled Victoria too much.

Olivia said what she thought was magnanimous: "John, I know you all feel guilty about Victoria and want to make it up to her, but spoiling her too much will only hurt her in the long run. No matter what, the Smith family raised her. It takes two to tango—for things to get this bad, Victoria must share some blame. She should handle this herself, or she'll just get more and more willful."

Mike and Steve frowned.

Amara was disappointed she would say such a thing.

Simon's expression darkened, a shadow passing through his eyes.

John's voice was cold.

"Shut up. Victoria's business doesn't concern you."

His cold gaze held not a trace of warmth, only distant indifference. Olivia felt a chill down her spine, goosebumps breaking out all over.

He was scolding her!

He was scolding her again—because of Victoria!

Olivia secretly clenched her fists, adding another mark against Victoria in her mental ledger.

The Windsor Group immediately released a statement, posting an edited version of the video showing the Smith family extorting Victoria at the wedding, firmly expressing their support for Victoria.

The moment the statement dropped, it sparked instant online debate.

People who'd questioned Victoria's character were immediately proven wrong.

[So that's the truth. Emily really was the thief crying thief, using the excuse of raising her to demand half of the Windsor Group's assets. They actually had the nerve to ask!]

[The Smith family couldn't earn what the Windsor Group makes in a year even if they worked their whole lives, and they wanted half the company? Are they insane?]

[How does Emily have the face to call Victoria an ungrateful wretch online? The Smith family are the real parasites, sucking Victoria's blood.]

[Shamelessness knows no bounds.]

[This has redefined my understanding of what it means to be shameless. Absolutely no limits.]

[Are all the Smiths mentally ill?]

[Half the Windsor family fortune? I wouldn't even dream that big.]

The Windsor Group's statement triggered a wave of public opinion, but what was even more shocking was the Howard Group reposting the Windsor Group's statement.

The Howard Group.

The most powerful company in Lucent.

More thrilling than the Howard Group reposting was a statement from the Howard Group's leader himself.

Caspian was extremely mysterious, almost never appearing online. Without the Howard Group's permission, even if the media photographed him, they wouldn't dare publish it.

This was his first time speaking out online.

Caspian's statement was simple—just three words.

Caspian: [I believe you.]

But those three words sent the internet into meltdown.

[Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!]

[I never thought I'd live to see Caspian post something online.]

[What's happening? Can someone tell me what Caspian means?]

[Isn't it obvious? Caspian's backing Victoria up.]

[Oh my God, just how powerful is this Victoria that even Caspian's speaking up for her?]

[The Howard Group's leader and the Windsor family's daughter—I'm kind of shipping them now.]

[Elite power couple!]

[Three minutes—I want all the information on these two!]
