FreeGoodNovelChapter 124 Chapter 124: "I knew it. This woman, always craving attention, is nothing but trash." "I almost thought she had something to offer, but she's just a fraud. Even Professor Hewitt fell for it. With her talents, Khloe should be running a scam, not playing a celebrity." "Professor Hewitt, anyone guilty of academic dishonesty should be permanently banned from academia. She doesn't belong here." The crowd's jeers and insults towards Khloe rose like an angry tide.
Daryl trembled with fury, watching the barrage of verbal attacks on Khloe. "Don't be fooled by this fabricated story. Someone is trying to destroy her. I've seen Khloe's abilities with my own eyes." Despite Daryl's heartfelt defense, no one seemed willing to believe her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe room was filled with wary eyes, all fixed on Khloe, and even Daryl wasn't immune to their skepticism.
It was human nature, after all. People tended to trust what aligned with their own beliefs and experiences. The idea that someone as young and outwardly glamorous as Khloe could truly make meaningful contributions to research and medicine seemed almost impossible to them.
Without missing a beat, Casey remarked, "Professor Hewitt, you've been tricked, and you don't even know it. She's a fraud, and this is all the proof you need. It's not your fault, though. She's just really good at fooling people." "You..." Daryl's anger flared, and she was ready to defend Khloe. Khloe cut Daryl off. "There's no point. People's biases are like solid walls-you can't change them just by wishing it." Having Daryl appear today to showcase her ties to the scientist had been a calculated move on Khloe's part, carefully orchestrated.
But what she hadn't expected was how openly Daryl would back her, even to the point of risking public mockery by referring to her as a mentor in front of everyone.
That one word, "mentor," would ensure the media would be all over today's events.
Discover fresh tales on galnovsKhloe felt no remorse for taking advantage of the scientist's sincerity. After all, the three years she had spent in prison had long since shattered any sense of innocence or moral compass. She was willing to do whatever it took for revenge. However, she would still lend a hand with Daryl's research in the future, for she disliked feeling indebted to anyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilencing Daryl before she could say more, Khloe lifted her gaze, her eyes locking onto Casey with a cold intensity. "Since you accuseof fraud, do you have the courage to put your skills to the test?" Casey blinked in surprise for a brief moment, then her face twisted into a sneer. “A fraud like you thinks you can challenge me? Fine. Let's see what you've got. I'll make sure you lose so badly that no one will ever believe your lies again." Khloe's voice remained unwavering as she continued, “There's a patient in the ICU at Zhecrora University's medical school, suffering severe heart damage and in the final stages of heart failure. I've already secured the family's consent for surgery. Given your background at the medical school and with the Astro Research Center, I imagine your surgical skills are top-notch. How about we put them to the test in a surgical competition?" A surgery for a patient suffering severe heart damage and in the final stages of heart failure? And it required a complete organ replacement? This was a surgery of unparalleled difficulty. If something went wrong, they would not only lose the competition, but the family could stir up a public scandal, and the university might be held responsible. On top of that, the patient was a highly respected national figure. Any mistake would be a serious incident.
Casey's expression darkened. Her lips quivered, and her eyes betrayed a flicker of fear and uncertainty. "You're setting Ne up for failure. This surgery is too risky. What if something goes wrong? Do you even know who this patient is?"
A smirk played on Khloe's lips as she taunted, "What happened? Last your courage already? You seemed so sure of yourself just a second ago."
Casey clenched her jaw, forcing herself to remain composed. "It's not fear. This surgery requiresNO meticulous preparation and a well-coordinated team. We can't rush into it without careful planning." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
