Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 180:

Khloe, unshaken by the mounting tension, kept her focus on the white mouse. Her voice was calm but firm as she said, “This mouse has already been exposed to other substances, altering its condition. Using it for my test would compromise the accuracy of the results.”

Frey shot back, “Ridiculous! These mice were prepared under our supervision, and there’s nothing wrong with this one. Are you just afraid your drug will fail and looking for something to blame?”

Khloe glanced up briefly, catching the subtle undertone in Frey’s words. She knew confronting him outright would only backfire, making her seem like she was grasping for excuses to cover a failing drug.

The best way to handle this was not to get caught up in trying to prove herself but to outsmart their plan with integrity and skill. A determined glint sparked in Khloe’s eyes as her focus sharpened. “Sir, all I’m asking for is fairness in this experiment. Just because the issue isn’t obvious to you doesn’t mean it’s not there. This is about staying…

True to scientific principles, Khloe’s voice was steady as she continued, “If my agent is tested on a mouse that’s already been influenced by other substances, it renders the whole exam pointless. Isn’t the aim of this test to identify treatments that can genuinely bring hope to those in need?”

Khloe’s statement gave everyone pause, sparking a ripple of unease. A few invigilators exchanged murmured comments, some quietly agreeing that swapping the mouse for a fresh one wouldn’t compromise the test.

Frey’s composure wavered, and his tone turned sharp. “You can’t demand a change just because you want one. If we allow this, what stops other students from asking for the same? You’re undermining the fairness of the exam and intentionally causing disruptions. I’m left with no choice but to disqualify you for breaching the rules.”

“Wait a moment!” Just as Frey was about to complete his declaration, Lawson, who had caught wind of the disturbance, stepped in.

He approached, eyeing Khloe with a subtle look of evaluation. “Khloe, while your points make sense, Frey does have a point. Switching the mouse wouldn’t be fair to the other students. Do you have a better solution?”

Sloane folded her arms across her chest, a smug smile tugging at the corners of her lips. What could Khloe possibly say in her defense? Without the change in the mouse, there was no way for Khloe to succeed, no matter how revolutionary her agent might be. Every detail of this scenario had been carefully planned to bring about Khloe’s defeat.

Khloe met Sloane’s mocking gaze, unbothered, and let out a soft, almost dismissive laugh. She reached into her pocket with deliberate ease, pulled out a sleek black card, and turned toward the camera, her demeanor calm and composed.

“I’m offering a reward of one hundred million to anyone from Zhecrora University’s affiliated hospital who will publicly test my agent on an AIDS patient. Is there anyone here who is willing to take that challenge?”noveldrama

Khloe’s announcement exploded in the lab, sending shockwaves through everyone present. Eyes widened, and faces stiffened in utter disbelief as the weight of her words sank in.

The invigilators traded confused looks, too stunned to form a response. Even Lawson stood motionless, his eyes locked on the black card in Khloe’s hand, his expression one of astonishment.

A hundred million—an unimaginable sum, more than most would earn in an entire lifetime of hard work.

The room erupted into chaos as the students struggled to process what had just happened.

“A hundred million? Is she out of her mind?”

“Does she really believe in her medicine that much?”
