Chapter 16 - the unexpected challenge
Peace rarely lasts long in the underworld. Even though the Falcone gang had been severely weakened, a high-ranking member, someone who had a direct grievance with Emily during that surgery years ago, still refused to give up.
This man didn't dare launch a direct attack on the Carter estate. He used political connections to exert pressure on the private medical center run by Emily, spreading false rumors to smear her honor.
He accused the medical center of hiding illegal activities and conducting unauthorized drug trials, forcing federal agencies to open a comprehensive investigation. Emily faced the risk of having her medical license revoked.
When she received the subpoena, Emily's face turned pale. She knew this was their vicious revenge strike aimed at destroying her completely. If she failed, all her life-saving dedication would go down the drain.
Michael walked into her office, ripping the summons to shreds. "You don't need to worry about these dirty tactics," he said with absolute authority. "I make the rules of the game in this city."
