Without another word, I waved my hand, signaling for calm. "Enough. Let’s not make this uglier than it already is. But know this—I will sue."
Finley finally seemed to realize what was happening and sneered. "Ah, I see it now. This has nothing to do with the surgery, does it? You’re just targeting Ashley. You never liked how close she’s gotten to me since she started at the hospital. You couldn’t stand it when the higher-ups assigned her to work under me, right?"
His voice dripped with arrogance. "We’re in different departments, but you’re jealous of her being around me, assisting me in surgery, working with me. Your real goal is to get her fired by suing her."
He stepped closer, his tone turning cruel. "Don’t be so unreasonable, Natalia. You and I are getting married—it’s a fact you can’t change. Stop embarrassing yourself. Who else would want you now, after everything? All you’re doing is pushing me further away."
I stared at him, my expression cold and indifferent. How could he be so blind, so confident in his twisted reasoning? "Really?" I said, my voice steady and unshaken. "Think whatever you want, Finley. But I’m canceling the engagement."
