Chapter 37
Caroline proudly straightened herself up, with a slight smile curling up at the corner of her mouth as she looked into the mirror.
She glanced at Charlotte again before leaving.

Caroline had not been back for long when Charlotte also returned.
Until the meeting was completely over, Charlotte walked out with Reynald and two esteemed experts from the medical field.
“Charlotte, I heard from Reynald that you were a the last student of Prof. Kendall, and at such a young age, you were able to independently perform complex surgeries. Truly, the student surpasses the master.”
Charlotte smiled and said, “Mr. Bennett, you flatter me. I owe everything to my teachers for what I have achieved today.”
Mr. Bennett shrugged and smiled helplessly, “You, just like your teacher, are too modest!”
After bidding farewell to the two seniors, Charlotte and Reynald went downstairs together. A crowd of people had gathered downstairs, and Caroline kept talking about how she had lost her bracelet, and she even requested to check the surveillance footage.
“Ms. Warren, where did you exactly lose your bracelet?”
“Yes, that was personal belongings, how could it be casually placed!”
Caroline was very upset and, upon seeing Charlotte, deliberately said, “I… I remember I went to the bathroom, and when I met Dr. Sutton in there, my bracelet was gone.”
The crowd was amazed.
Many of the people who attended the meeting were from this hospital.
“Dr. Sutton? It couldn’t be, could it?”
“Yeah, Dr. Sutton doesn’t seem like that kind of person…”
Jaxson and a few others walked slowly, his gaze falling on the crowd, “What’s going on?”
“Jaxson.”
Caroline approached and said with a tearful voice, “The bracelet you gave me is missing.”
Jaxson frowned slightly, before he could speak, someone beside him spoke up, “Ms. Warren said that when the bracelet went missing, she was with Dr.
Sutton…”
Everyone looked at Charlotte when they heard the words.
Jaxson also looked at her.
Reynald crossed his arms. “Is there some kind of misunderstanding here? Charlotte doesn’t seem like the type to take your bracelet.”
Reynald was fine when he didn’t speak, but once he did, it was like stepping on Jaxson’s thunder,
His eyes darkened slightly, “How long has Mr. Steward known her to speak up for her like this?”
Charlotte’s chest suddenly sank.
Like falling into an abyss.”
She tightened the handbag in her hand.
She knew he wouldn’t believe her, but she didn’t expect him to publicly question her, making her look bad.
Reynald smiled and said, “Mr. Hamilton, I always help based on reason, not on personal relationships. Everything must be based on evidence.”
The evidence was certainly easy to talk about.”
Jaxson rubbed the dial, his gaze fixed on Charlotte’s face, “If it was her who took it, we would know by checking her belongings, right?”
Everyone fell silent.
Caroline lowered her gaze, a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes, and then pretended to hesitate, “But it’s not very nice to search personal belongings in public.”
He sneered, “Didn’t you say the bracelet was lost? Suspect whoever and check whoever, any problem?”

“Mr. Hamilton was right, just check whoever you suspect, don’t do anything wrong, and you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.”
“Yeah…”
Charlotte’s entire face turned pale in an instant.
The whole heart was cut open as if by a blunt knife.
Wasn’t checking her belongings in public just a way of implying that she might have stolen something?
