Chapter 129 Chapter 129: He turned sharply on his heel, barking orders at the nearby staff. "Prepare the operating room for her. But first, get the disclaimer drawn up and make sure she signs it!" Without missing a beat, Orion addressed Casey, his tone firm. "Casey, you're one of the best. Keep an eye on things in the OR, got it? I don't want this troublemaker turning the surgery into a circus.” Casey gave a curt nod, shooting Khloe a brief, smug glance before murmuring his agreement.

We need to get moving; the heart transplant must happen without delay. This surgery only has a ten percent success rate. Make sure the family understands the risks." Khloe took the freshly printed disclaimer agreement, scanning through it briefly before signing her nwith a bold flourish.
When she looked up, her eyes glimmered with unshakable confidence, and every gesture exuded the air of someone already claiming victory. "Can we proceed with the surgery now?" As soon as Khloe signed the disclaimer, Casey's lips curved into a sly smile. "Khloe, didn't you say you wanted to compete with me? Since we're co-leading this surgery, let's divide the tasks. I'll handle the tumor removal, and you can handle the heart transplant. What do you think?" A calculating gleam flickered in her eyes.

But the heart transplant, on the other hand, was a high-stakes gamble with everything on the line. And Khloe? A pharmaceutical researcher with no surgical credentials to her name, stepping into uncharted-and perilous— territory.
Failure wasn't just likely; it was practically guaranteed. Casey could already imagine it: Khloe's confidence shattering, her poised expression crumbling.

If you lose, you'll kneel and acknowledge that your skills are inferior to mine. And you have to broadcast it to the entire school." Casey was caught off guard by Khloe's audacious demand. For a split second, her expression stiffened, but then she broke into a fit of laughter.

"Alright, I agree. This time, the stakes go beyond just leaving ZU. If you lose, you'll have to confess online that you were the other woman between Eric and Sloane. And you'll leave the entertainment industry and resign from Evergreen Capital. Are you brave enough to take this on?" Khloe arched a brow, her expression unwavering. "It's a deal." With the conditions set, they wasted no tdiving into their preparations.
The large, metal doors of the operating room swung open with a dull clang as Khloe entered, changing into her surgical gear as if it were second nature. Once her hands were thoroughly sterilized, she strode into the room, radiating a composed, quiet confidence.
The operating room was no ordinary one; it was designed for teaching, with clear glass walls walls offering am uphindered view for onlookers, and high-definition cameras positioned strategically around the surgical table.
As soon as she stepped inside, all eyes locked onto her. Sgazes held admiration while others brimmed with contempt and quiet derision. Even so, Khloe's beauty was undeniable, with her captivating eyes capable of holding anyone spellbound.
