Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss - Chapter 460

Chapter 460:

Could this truly be happening?

Khloe was seemingly in her twenties.

Driven by curiosity, Richard couldn’t resist asking, “Miss Evans, may I ask how many cardiac operations you have actually performed?”

“Ten,” Khloe replied honestly.

“Ten!?” Selena burst out, her voice tinged with disbelief and doubt. Her face turned a fiery red with anger and disbelief as she advanced, shouting emotionally, “How can you display such depth of knowledge after only ten surgeries? True expertise in medicine isn’t merely acquired from books; it demands hands-on experience. I myself improved only after completing at least a hundred valve operations. But you, only ten? That defies belief! You must know something we don’t. Did you already know all the details of this case and come specifically to embarrass me?”

Selena’s agitation was noticeable and perhaps understandable. The cardiologists in the audience were similarly astounded.

Such profound insight typically derived from countless surgeries, which fostered a doctor’s skill. Khloe’s analysis suggested she might have conducted thousands of valve operations.

Merely ten surgeries seemed completely irrational.

However, Khloe was indeed truthful; she had performed only ten surgeries. Yet, she had meticulously studied nearly all pertinent materials, internalizing the knowledge and honing her skills.

For Khloe, absorbing medical insights came naturally.

Although her experience in valve surgeries numbered only ten, she had completed over ten thousand diverse operations on the human body. Khloe faced Selena with peace. “I’m just presenting the facts, devoid of any motives you suggest.”

Richard, now recognizing Khloe’s exceptional ability, warned Selena with a newfound respect for Khloe. “Be mindful of your accusations, Selena! Since it’s clear there was no plagiarism, perhaps we should proceed…”

Before Richard could finish, Khloe cut in, her gaze firm and determined. “Mr. Smith, I don’t believe we should move on just yet. Selena owes me an apology for her accusation of plagiarism.”

Khloe’s outright disregard for Richard’s dignity sent a wave of shock through the room, leaving everyone in stunned silence.

Richard’s face stiffened for a brief moment, his brows furrowing as he shot a sharp, warning glance at Khloe.

But Khloe didn’t flinch. She held her ground, her gaze unwavering as she stared straight at Selena. “Selena, your baseless accusations and inappropriate behavior have caused harm to my reputation. In medicine, we should engage in conversations driven by reason, objectivity, and respect, not waste time on harmful gossip or slander born from personal biases. You owe me an apology for the false statements and actions you’ve taken. This isn’t just about respect for me—it’s a reflection of your own integrity and character.”

Selena’s face drained of color, her anger rising as she bit her lower lip, her hands trembling with barely contained frustration. The last thing she wanted to do was apologize to Khloe, the very person who had slapped her.

Yet, with so many eyes on her, including her teachers, Selena feared that refusing would stain Richard’s reputation. The mere thought of his harsh methods sent a cold shiver down her spine. She knew there were other ways to deal with Khloe, but for now, she decided to let her enjoy this brief moment of victory.

After weighing her options, Selena slowly lifted her head. Her eyes still carried a flicker of hidden resentment. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she spoke with forced calm, “Khloe, I apologize for my rash and unfounded comments earlier. I shouldn’t have accused and slandered you without any proof, which goes against the ethical standards we are held to as medical professionals.”

“I trust you’ll take this as a lesson,” Khloe said coldly, her tone giving no hint of whether she had accepted Selena’s apology.
