Richard’s expression hardened as he glanced at Conroy.

The questioning and assessment had been meticulously planned by Conroy to ensure that Sloane would be the final victor. But Khloe had defeated Sloane, completely derailing Conroy’s scheme.

Conroy’s face clouded with anger, his eyes burning with rage as he glared at Khloe, as though he wished he could strike her down right then and there. Frustration bubbled up inside him. If Khloe hadn’t gotten involved, Sloane would have gone ahead with the plan to bring that person out.

But with so many people watching, he couldn’t risk stripping Khloe of her qualification.

He had no choice but to shift tactics. His gaze grew cold as he typed out a message and exchanged a look with Richard, silently instructing him to let Khloe ask her questions.

Richard nodded in understanding. “Miss Evans, if you have any questions, you’re welcome to ask them.”

Khloe gave a nod and then stepped up to the platform, ensuring she was visible to everyone in the room. Bathed in the glow of the large screen’s projection, Khloe’s face remained perfectly composed, her beauty striking as ever.

With unwavering clarity, she addressed Richard. “Recently, the drug administration introduced a new regulation banning the inclusion of K Agent in drugs for internal use. From my knowledge, Ouiswell’s regulations permit it. What do you think about our city’s drug administration unexpectedly classifying this harmless agent as harmful?”

Khloe’s question sent shockwaves through the hall.

Khloe’s question sent shockwaves through the hall.

The crowd was stunned, exchanging confused glances as they struggled to believe she would so boldly and openly challenge the new pharmaceutical regulation. Everyone knew that Conroy was the one behind the regulation. In this atmosphere, her question was like a lightning bolt, sending the tension through the roof.

Richard was equally stunned. He hadn’t expected Khloe would throw such a challenging question his way. This wasn’t Ouiswell, where Richard could easily claim that the K Agent was completely safe. However, he knew he needed Conroy’s support, so he couldn’t afford to answer honestly.

Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself to answer the question.

“Miss Evans, new pharmaceutical regulations are usually based on various considerations. The local drug administration may have its own views, such as research on the local population’s health or precautions for potential risks. While Ouiswell’s regulations are different, each country has its unique situation, so comparisons are not so simple.”

Khloe, however, wasn’t easily convinced by his response. She pressed on, “Mr. Smith, from what I know, international studies have shown that the K Agent is highly effective for certain conditions without significant side effects. By banning it without releasing the full supporting research, isn’t the local drug administration obstructing medical progress and patient access to better treatments? Or, Mr. Dayton, is this your personal decision? Is the new regulation really in the interest of public health, or is it just for someone’s benefit?”

The new regulation was clearly Conroy’s work behind the scenes, but no one anticipated Khloe would call it out in public.

Her words caused a stir throughout the venue, as everyone looked at Khloe in shock before turning their eyes to Conroy.

Conroy’s face darkened with fury as he glared at Khloe, but he held back his temper under the intense scrutiny of the crowd.

Taking a deep breath to control his rage, Conroy spoke to Khloe in a chilling tone. “Khloe, I know why you’re asking this. Oasis Laboratory’s cosmetic product didn’t make…”

“It’s because of the K Agent that we couldn’t get it to market. How absurd! You have the nerve to question the new regulation out of personal interest and publicly slander me, the Mayor. You’re unbelievably bold. Let me warn you, my lawyers are on standby. If I decide to sue, you’ll end up in jail.”

The hostility in Conroy’s eyes toward Khloe was evident to all. It was clear that unless she could offer a convincing explanation, she would not only face a lawsuit but also lead Oasis Laboratory into serious trouble.
