Luckily, Richard was familiar with his student’s behavior. After he gave her a sharp look, Selena quickly collected herself and held back the rash words she almost spoke.

It was unfortunate for Khloe, who had hoped to provoke Selena into a fit of anger, which would have given her the upper hand in the situation.

At this moment, Richard found himself conflicted. At first, he had been humoring Selena, letting her make things difficult for someone he thought was inconsequential. However, he didn’t anticipate that Khloe would be so eloquent and tough. She was proving hard to handle.

Khloe’s bold retort made it clear that Selena couldn’t easily force her off the stage with a few quick remarks.

Richard cleared his throat before speaking. “Miss Evans, since you assert that you haven’t plagiarized Selena’s technique and have thoroughly studied this surgical method, you should be able to offer guidance on her technique. Selena, please play your surgery video and allow Miss Evans to provide her insights.”

On the surface, his proposal seemed reasonable, but it was actually a trap. His goal was to highlight any flaws in Khloe’s knowledge, thereby proving the plagiarism claim.

Everyone knew that further refining an already polished technique, especially one detailed in a dissertation, would be incredibly difficult.

Khloe saw through Richard’s plan but stayed composed and replied with confidence, “Fine, Mr. Smith. If you insist, I’ll take up the challenge. But I expect that once I demonstrate my expertise and clear my name, these baseless accusations will stop.”

Selena hesitated but, at Richard’s signal, reluctantly played the surgery video on the large screen for everyone to see.

As the video started, displaying the intricate surgical process, Khloe observed closely while the crowd became energized with anticipation. The video was of an international master’s student’s surgery, something most people would never have the opportunity to view. Naturally, they were eager to learn from it.

In the video, Selena’s surgical technique was undeniably impressive. Every motion was smooth and precise, as though the surgical instruments in her hands were extensions of herself, carrying out each step with methodical precision.

From the meticulous control of incision placement to her careful handling of the valve replacement, her professionalism shone through clearly. The assistants around her worked in perfect harmony, turning the surgery into a flawlessly coordinated operation, almost like a well-oiled machine.

The crowd couldn’t help but express their admiration aloud.

“Wow, she truly deserves to be Richard’s student—her surgical skills are impeccable. Each incision is perfect, like she’s calculated every move with perfect precision,” a young doctor remarked, captivated by the screen, unwilling to miss a single detail.

“The valve replacement is done with such finesse, controlling force and angle perfectly. Not everyone can master this level of skill. It’s a true spectacle of technique,” an experienced expert praised, nodding with approval.

However, Khloe remained entirely focused on the screen, her keen eyes quickly identifying flaws in what appeared to others to be a nearly flawless surgery. As she saw herself being praised, Selena’s mood improved slightly, and she jutted her jaw arrogantly. “Khloe, you’ve seen it. Now, I want to hear your opinion. If you can’t say anything valuable, it’s time for you to leave.”

Khloe chuckled. “It’s good to not feel embarrassed asking for advice. There are quite a few mistakes in your surgery, and it’s so sloppy I can barely watch. Let me point them out so you don’t end up making a huge mistake and putting patients at risk in the future.”

Khloe’s words stunned the audience into silence. It was incredibly bold of her! How could Khloe, who’d only made it onto the stage through some backdoor dealings, dare to criticize Richard’s student?

Selena, despite being so young, had already published a major thesis as the lead author in a well-respected journal like The Lancet. Her abilities were unquestionable.
