The video timestamp was clear.
Mrs. Bell had also provided a signed statement confirming my presence.
Celia crossed her arms.
“That footage could have been altered.”
The security director leaned forward.
“We obtained the original recording directly from building management and verified its timestamp against their system records.”

The hospital’s investigators had identified approximately $186,000 in potentially improper charges requiring further review.
Celia suddenly looked toward the door.
“I’m not discussing financial matters without my attorney.”
Natalie nodded.
“That’s your right.”
I watched Celia gather her papers.
This was the woman who’d threatened to destroy my career.
The woman who’d treated my years of work like something she could erase with a signature.
