Chapter 366
Chapter 366:
“To witness such a groundbreaking moment at this event is worth it, even if | lose the competition.”
Sloane's fists tightened, crushing the material she was working on. Bitterness and envy boiled within her. She
had been certain this would be Khloe’s downfall—maybe even lead to her imprisonment. But instead, Khloe was
basking in glory, having pulled off an unprecedented medical breakthrough.
Damn it, why did everything always seem to fall perfectly into place for Khloe?
Eric misinterpreted Sloane’s expression as pride in Khloe’s success. He grasped her arm, his face lit with awe.
“Sloane, can you believe it? Khloe really recreated the Jose Drug. You were spot on. You truly understand and
support her.”

Sloane felt a sharp discomfort as she noticed Eric’s joy, but having already voiced her support for Khloe earlier,
she had no choice but to feign a smile. “Of course, I've always believed in my sister's talents and admired her
abilities.”
While uttering words of praise, Sloane caught the adoration in Eric’s gaze as he looked at Khloe, and an intense
wave of jealousy swept over her.
Meanwhile, on stage, Barlow's confidence crumbled, his face pale with disbelief. He could hardly accept that
Khloe had actually pulled it off.
The Jose Drug had been an elusive legend for over three centuries. Despite the efforts of countless celebrated
scientists, no one had recreated it. And now, Khloe, a former celebrity, had done what they couldn't. It felt
utterly unjust.
Saul stood motionless, shock and regret etched across his face. Khloe’s recreation of the Jose Drug all but
guaranteed her a brilliant future. And he had foolishly sent Barlow against her, costing them this round and
missing the finals. The damage to their relationship was clear.
Saul’s eyes burned with anger as he fixed his glare on Barlow. Speaking darkly into his headset, he snarled,
“Barlow! The mess you've made for this company is unforgivable. Brace yourself for the consequences!” The
chilling words made Barlow's blood run cold, his body breaking out in a sweat.
Origin Company's rise to power wasn't just due to its dominance in drug research but also because of Saul's
shadowy connections and his brutal tactics against rivals and subordinates.
Barlow had seen firsthand how Saul and his men dealt with Origin Company's enemies—they weren't just
defeated but met with terrifyingly brutal ends.
The very thought of suffering a similar fate sent a shiver down his spine, fueling his seething hatred for Khloe.
He believed she was the sole reason his life was crumbling into chaos. In a frenzied rage, Barlow snatched a
bottle of sulfuric acid from the lab table and flung it at Khloe. “You witch! Burn in hell!”
A collective gasp swept through the crowd, followed by screams of pure terror.

For a brief moment, Khloe stood frozen in disbelief, her body stiff with the shock of the impending threat, her
face mere seconds away from being destroyed.
But in the blink of an eye, she snapped out of her stupor and moved.
Khloe leaned back swiftly, the bottle of sulfuric acid narrowly missing her. The liquid hit the floor with a sharp
hiss, burning through the surface and leaving behind a smoking hole. It was hard to even comprehend the
disaster that had almost hit her face.
Barlow's scowl deepened as he swung again, aiming another attack at her. Yet the sudden assault barely seemed
to faze her.
Before anyone had tto react, Khloe was already standing tall, her eyes cold and focused, locking onto her
target. In a flash, she dodged Barlow's punch and drove her foot hard into his stomach with a powerful side kick.
The crowd stood still, struggling to catch up with what had just occurred. In an instant, Barlow was airborne,
crashing into the wall of an empty lab room before hitting the floor with a heavy thud.
The crash was deafening as the booth collapsed under the force of Khloe’s kick.
