She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 224

“I’d rather not make this money than let my company be saddled with such a baseless accusation.”

Gavin’s words made him look like a wronged man, and Caden immediately stepped up to defend him. “How could that be acceptable? The medical system on a warship is crucial. Without Gavin’s equipment, how can we guarantee the healthcare of so many people in the fleet?”

The Naval Commander mulled it over for a moment, his brow furrowed as he looked at Lucian. “This is a military base, not a place for the girl you brought to make frivolous claims. I trust you understand that.”

Faced with a room full of doubtful and accusatory stares, Lucian didn’t even flinch. “I don’t trust Gavin,” he stated simply.

Gavin raised his hand and swore on his life. “I swear on my life that our medical equipment has absolutely no issues. If Admiral Shapiro insists on submitting a false report to the Department of Defense, then to prove my innocence, I will shut down the emergency system effective immediately. As for who else has the capability to take over the entire naval fleet’s medical system, Admiral Shapiro can go and find them.”

Jasmine interjected disapprovingly, “Absolutely not.”

She looked at Lucian, frowning. “Lucian, when did you become so irrational? You’d rather trust a report written by a college student than the one I gave you? After all our years of working together, you don’t trust me anymore?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s that your skills are insufficient.”

Lucian’s single sentence made Jasmine’s face darken with anger. What did he mean by that? Was he openly saying her technical abilities were inferior to a college student’s?

The Naval Commander spoke up. “Lucian, what exactly do you intend to do? This is a matter of great importance.”

Lucian’s voice was calm and firm. “Since Gavin is willing to cut the supply, then let him. We’re terminating the partnership.”

The entire medical bay erupted in chaos.

“Admiral Shapiro! This is no time for jokes!”

“Without a medical system, who will guarantee the safety of our soldiers on the front lines?”

“Are you insane? You’re gambling the entire fleet’s medical system on a woman?”
