Chapter 660 She Was Prepared
A few reporters even began capturing Martha’s pictures with their cameras.
“Ms. Lane, did you intentionally orchestrate all of this out of jealousy towards the young Dr. Shaw? Is that why you attempted to frame her?”
“Ms. Lane, what is your response to the accusations made by Ms. Eirwen?”
“Ms. Lane, since this matter was resolved two years ago, why are you suddenly reopening it? Are you not satisfied until you bring down Dr. Shaw?”
“Ms. Lane…”
The relentless questioning from the reporters instinctively made Martha step back.
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Her hoarse voice was almost hysterical as she vehemently denied, “I didn’t! I didn’t set up Cherise! She fabricated all of this! They’re all colluding with Eirwen to frame me!”
She ran her fingers through her hair and grasped her head as she leaned against the wall. At the same time, she argued fervently, “Do you all believe everything they say? Even if I did approach Eirwen to record the audio, it was only because the original audio was deleted! We can’t let Cherise escape responsibility just because the original audio is missing!”
Martha glared fiercely at Cherise. “She is the one who led the surgery back then! Yet, she’s still denying it to this day!”
Martha knew she was trapped.
If they exposed her here, revealed her true intentions, and determined her as the one at fault, her lifetime of achievements would crumble to ashes instantly.
She had never intended to frame Cherise. Before the surgery two years ago, she had carefully considered the pros and cons before allowing Isaac to prepare for it.
Yet, Isaac said, “Ms. Lane, Dr. Shaw is a specialist in this field. I’ll wait for her instructions. I don’t dare to proceed without her confirmation.”
At that time, Martha patiently persuaded Isaac, “There’s no issue with this. You can’t rely on Cherise for everything!”
Martha firmly believed she was Isaac’s true mentor and the only one who could guide hum and show him the path in the medical field. Even his admission to this hospital was arranged by her through a special recommendation to the hospital director

Isaac was her best student. She brought him close to her to shine brightly and to become. someone respected and a source of pride for the hospital. Most importantly, he would be her source of pride.
However, as soon as Isaac joined the hospital, Cherise arrived. Then, all the attention shifted to Cherise.
Cherise claimed she couldn’t perform surgery because her right hand was injured. Thus, the hospital director a*signed Martha’s most prized student as her a*sistant.
Later, Cherise became a well-known and highly praised doctor, but Isaac quietly performed surgeries, never daring to take credit.
Martha couldn’t bear Isaac remaining in Cherise’s shadow. While Cherise was on leave, she seized the opportunity and wanted Isaac to handle the surgery independently. That way, he could stand on equal footing with Cherise.
Thus, she used Cherise’s name and imitated her voice to get Isaac to take over the surgery.
Originally, Martha planned to reveal the truth to Isaac after the surgery.
Unfortunately, something went wrong. Martha immediately planned to let Cherise take the blame.
However, Isaac didn’t accuse Cherise but took all the blame upon himself.
Martha was heartbroken and desolate. She kept seeking an opportunity to clear Isaac’s name and shift the blame to Cherise instead.
Now that an opportunity had finally arisen, she hadn’t expected Cherise to be prepared.
