Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 373:

This astonishing recovery captured the full attention of the judges and left the researchers amazed. Cheers broke out from Illusion Laboratory, filling the venue with roaring applause.

“Sloane’s potion works miracles! It heals instantly!”

“Look at how quickly the mouse is moving again. It’s a clear sign of rapid bone recovery! And it happened in mere minutes!”

“This year is extraordinary; two prodigies have emerged, both from the Evans family!”

Sloane’s success intensified the pressure on Charlotte and Sylvie.

Charlotte scowled, puzzled. “How is Sloane’s potion this effective? She wasn’t nearly this capable back at Zhecrora University. How could she advance so much in just a few months?”

“It’s not her own doing,” Khloe replied, her eyes sharp as she observed the mouse. “She must have been handed the potion’s formula. There’s someone else pulling the strings.”

“Strings behind her performance today!”

“What?” Both Charlotte and Sylvie were taken aback.

The remarkable results of Sloane’s potion had sparked a sudden realization in Khloe.

Back at the Watson family estate, Sloane had been timid and submissive due to Khloe’s engagement to Henrik. Yet, whether at the Deep Blue incident or now in this competition, her demeanor had turned into one of uncharacteristic assurance.

Clearly, Sloane was being supported by someone with considerable influence and expertise in the biopharmaceutical field. Without such backing, she wouldn’t dare use this potion to confront Khloe and Oasis Laboratory.noveldrama

Khloe realized that Sloane had laid a cunning trap for her to fall into.

As applause and commendations filled the air from the judges and fellow researchers, Sloane’s arrogance intensified. She raised her head, her eyes gleaming with pride and a challenging spark. “Khloe, now it’s your turn to show us what your potion can do. I’m eager to see how you fare.”

Sloane’s challenge clearly irked Charlotte and Sylvie. Charlotte pushed up her glasses and said, “She’s getting cocky from a bit of early success. Once we’re done here, I’ll get into her computer. There’s bound to be something.”

“Exactly! She’s been provoking us all day. How threatened must she feel by Khloe?” Sylvie exclaimed, her anger evident. “Just wait until it’s my turn. I’ll leave them all dumbfounded.”

Khloe felt a surge of affection for their support. “Focus on what matters now—the competition. Sylvie, just concentrate on administering our injection. Let’s not dwell on Sloane. I trust in our preparation.”

“Understood. Don’t worry, our potion will steal the spotlight!” Sylvie said, striding towards the lab bench where the staff was ready with their potion. In a twist of fate, as the potion was handed to Sylvie, it slipped from the staff’s grasp and shattered on the floor.

A pungent chemical smell immediately filled the air, tinged with a distinct fragrance.

A stunned silence enveloped everyone present. Charlotte exhaled in relief and said, “So she intended to sabotage our potion. Luckily, we have backups!”

However, Khloe was immediately on alert. Their potion shouldn’t emit such an aroma. A cold premonition crept over her.

Seizing the opportunity, Sloane clasped her hand over her mouth, her eyes twinkling mischievously. “Khloe, doesn’t this scent seem familiar? It’s strikingly similar to that of my potion, which is unique. What’s happening here?”

Sloane’s words cut through the silence of the arena, drawing puzzled glances from the judges.

Earlier, the Illusion Laboratory’s experiment had produced a potion with a signature scent. Now, the aroma from Khloe’s broken compound was unmistakably the same.
