Chapter 453:
“I didn’t intend it that way. This is all a misunderstanding—I wasn’t thinking clearly,” Conroy stammered, his
voice laced with desperation.
Whitney gave a sharp, icy laugh. “A misunderstanding? You openly hinder a talented pharmaceutical professional
and dismiss it as a misunderstanding? Do you even realize how remarkable Khloe’s performance in the
competition was? Her talent and potential are extraordinary. Your behavior is not only an injustice to her but an
affront to the integrity of the entire pharmaceutical selection process.”
Conroy's forehead was drenched with sweat, which he wiped away repeatedly, though it wouldn't stop.
“Whitney, | made a mistake. I'll fix it right away and allow Khloe to join the questioning session. Please don’t be
upset.”
At that moment, calming Whitney's anger was his sole focus, and he ignored the murmurs and curious stares of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe crowd.
Khloe stood silently and observed Conroy’s humiliation with a composed expression, as though it were expected.
Henrik had already warned her about Conroy's fear of Whitney, and now she saw that it played out exactly as
predicted.
“As long as you correct it now, it’s not too late,” Whitney concluded before ending the call.
Only after the call ended did Conroy muster the courage to openly wipe his sweat. When he looked at Khloe
again, the contempt in his eyes had been replaced by wariness. This woman was really something else—she had
even managed to involve his own sister in her plans.
Conroy seethed inwardly but knew better than to create further trouble for her. Reluctantly, he muttered, “Fine,
you can join the questioning session.” The moment those words left his lips, murmurs broke out among the
crowd, a wave of discontent rippling through the venue. The young professionals, confident earlier of their spots,
NOW wore sour expressions.
“What's happening here? How does she get to join without even being nominated? Is this just about who you
know? This isn’t fair to the rest of us.”
“Did you catch that? The person she called is apparently the Mayor's sister. Khloe knows her? So much for
fairness—one phone call and the rules change.”
“Exactly. Does being close to the Mayor's family automatically make her special?”
Those closest to Khloe and Conroy overheard Whitney's identity and chose to keep quiet, understanding her
significance.
Meanwhile, the crowd, grumbling among themselves about Khloe, quickly turned the previously calm venue into
a noisy commotion.
Frustrated by the growing chaos, Conroy snapped, “Anyone who doesn’t quiet down will be thrown out.”
While his outburst managed to silence the murmurs, the undercurrent of resentment against Khloe deepened,
with sopenly blaming her.
Khloe observed the scene and quickly realized Conroy's intentions. By avoiding any mention of Whitney's
influential status and simply silencing the crowd, he was subtly ensuring that their opinion of her would take a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnosedive. Yet, she remained undeterred, dismissing his petty tactics as insignificant. She knew her skills would
ultimately outshine these schemes, dissolving them effortlessly, so there was no need for her to waste time
addressing them.
Along with Khloe, 21 participants were called to the stage for the questioning round. Sloane was among them.
Khloe wasn’t shocked. Sloane's close association with Conroy made her inclusion an expected move.
With the lineup finalized, Richard, who had been quiet until then, offered a friendly smile. “No need for
formalities. Please cforward.”
Richard’s approachable manner left the young participants on stage gazing at him with awe and admiration.
